We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was pet-friendly so we were able to bring our dog with us, which was so much fun. Check in was super easy and smooth. We were even able to message the host and check in early which was very helpful. The property was exactly as pictured. It was very clean and the location was perfect- right across the street from the beach! Laurel, the host, was very attentive and friendly! Would definitely stay here again and recommend this property 10/10!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I'm Laurel, the owner of Gone Coastal in Gulf Shores, and I’m the person behind it all. No property management company, no middlemen, no passing guests off to someone else. I’ve been hosting on the Gulf Coast for more than 20 years, and I still handle things personally because I believe guests notice the difference. I first visited Gulf Shores in 1990 with my two Golden Retrievers. Back then, truly pet-friendly places were hard to find. When I bought my first property in 2002, I made a simple promise: keep it clean, keep it well stocked, and make guests and their dogs genuinely welcome. That promise still guides how I host today. Gone Coastal was founded in 2007, and my approach hasn't changed: if something isn't right, I fix it. Nauti Mermaid is a reflection of that philosophy. It's a smaller space, but every detail is intentional, from the well-stocked kitchen to the coffee bar and the little things that make a stay easier. I’m not interested in managing a collection of properties. I’m creating places I’m proud to share with people who want to enjoy the Gulf Coast the way I do.

Why they chose this property

Nauti Mermaid is designed for couples and solo travelers who want a well-kept place to stay with the beach right across the street. Deeded beach access makes getting to the Gulf easy, while the West Beach location keeps you close to restaurants, shopping, groceries, and Gulf Shores attractions without being in the busiest part of town. This is a smaller condo, but every detail is intentional. The space is clean, well stocked, thoughtfully maintained, and designed to make your stay easy. A shared pool, coffee bar, in-unit laundry, and dedicated workspace add the conveniences that make a difference. Well-behaved pets are welcome, too. If you appreciate a clean, cared-for space, clear communication, and a host who genuinely pays attention to the details, Nauti Mermaid is a great fit.

What makes this property unique

• Deeded beach access directly across the street: No searching for parking or hauling your gear down the road. Your beach access is right across the street.• • Quiet West Beach location: Close to restaurants, groceries, shopping, and Gulf Shores attractions, while away from the busiest tourist areas. • Designed for couples and solo travelers: A thoughtfully laid-out 1-bedroom space with the right amount of room, storage, and amenities without paying for space you don't need. • Pet-friendly by design: Dogs are genuinely welcome here. Stainless steel food and water bowls, towels for sandy paws and baths, pick-up bags, and enzyme cleaner are provided. • Owner-managed since 2007: This is a hands-on, locally managed property. I know the condo, I know the area, and I care about how guests experience their stay. • Only 19 units: A small, low-density complex without the crowds and congestion of a large resort. • Shared amenities without the resort crowds: Enjoy the outdoor pool, grill, and picnic area without staying in a massive resort complex. • Practical amenities that matter: In-unit washer and dryer, bulk toiletries, quality paper products, a functional kitchen, coffee bar, and useful storage. • Built for longer stays: Extended-stay pricing makes Nauti Mermaid a practical choice for winter visits and longer Gulf Coast stays.
