About this property
Sunflower in the City: Location! Location! Location! Love dogs! Block from ⛱️.
"Location! Location! Location!" That's what our guests tell us, and the place is great too!

Back to THIS beach home -
Welcome to Sunflower in the City, your vintage, pet-friendly oasis in the heart of Gulf Shores! Located just ONE short block from the pristine white sands, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom raised beach home is the perfect coastal retreat for families, friends, and your furry companions.
Why You’ll Love It Here:
Unbeatable Location: Leave the car in the driveway! We are a quick walk to the beach, The Hangout, and fantastic local dining like The Catch seafood restaurant.
Pet-Friendly Paradise: We know pets are family. Your dogs will love the enclosed balcony and our private, fenced dog run downstairs. (Up to 2 dogs welcome!)
Outdoor Living: Enjoy your morning coffee on the sunny balcony, or head downstairs to the covered lounge area to grill out and relax with the provided beach gear—even if it rains, your beach parade won't be rained out!
Comfort & Convenience: Fully stocked galley kitchen, smart TVs, keyless entry for seamless check-in, and an in-unit washer/dryer for your beach towels.
Here's a little more perspective:
This is the cutest little Sunflower in the City! Our vintage two bedroom, two bath raised beach home is ONE SHORT block away from the white sand heavenly beach of Gulf Shores. And before you reach the beach, like if you need to rest after 50 steps for a libation, there's a festive restaurant called The Catch with excellent cocktails and delicious seafood. Walk another block along the beach, and reach the legendary Hangout, and a few more steps gets you front row, on-the-beach seating at the world-famous Pink Pony!
Another of our favorite things is our fur babies! Don't leave home without them! Sure, it takes a bit more to clean the place so there is a pet fee, but aren't they worth it? And they will thank you when you see how happy they are on the enclosed wraparound balcony. They won't miss a thing! One favor please: if you leave the doors open - because the beach breeze is SO AMAZING, please turn off the AC. You can always turn it on again when you're in for the night!
Okay, what else? You'll also enjoy two large bedrooms with ultra comfy beds and light- blocking drapes. And we ordered the fastest internet speed for your entertainment needs. There are three tvs with Roku devices to that end as well. Downstairs, there is a grill, a few beach fun items, and a large backyard in addition to a small, enclosed dog run. There may still beach spurs (sticklers) that our lawn crew is working to eliminate - FYI.
And the must haves - two bathrooms, a galley kitchen, and keyless entry locks. Can this decision be any easier? If you love beach life at the right price, you've found it.

About the host
Hosted by Sunflower Sunset Team
We are from Texas and Alabama. We got married and landed in the Mobile area, but couldn't resist getting a place at the beach. We love the beach energy and want to share it with visitors from far and wide. Alabama's pristine beaches are well worth the trip. Don't miss them! And did I mention that we love dogs? Yes, we do but our home best accommodates those under 50ish pounds.
Why they chose this property
We chose this community because it's so centrally located - one block from the beach and from there, walk a block east to The Hangout. It's 1.5 blocks from Sunliner Diner and more eats and treats. From the front balcony you have a clear view of a part of the beach, and the neighbors are also very committed to ensuring their guests have the time of their lives - without ruining yours! :-)
What makes this property unique
Most places are not dog-friendly here - and even fewer have an actual DOG RUN! Your furry baby can run out the front door and down the back stairs into the dog run area whenever needed. Talk about INDEPENDENCE! The pups said that they've never felt so grown up! :-)
*Careful as sometimes there are stickers in the yard. Try as we might to kill them, it's par for the course in this area!
