About this property

4BR Luxury Coastal Home w/ Pool, Spa, Near Beach at Kiva Dunes

Magnolia Mooring* is a brand-new luxury coastal home in Kiva Dunes featuring four beautiful bedrooms, a private pool and spa, multiple porches with Gulf breezes, and warm coastal-botanical interiors. Just steps from the Gulf and designed with elevated finishes, this home is the perfect retreat for families, friend groups of all ages, golf getaways, and special celebrations — including girls’ and women’s trips, men’s weekends, bachelor/bachelorette gatherings, wedding groups, writing retreats, and wellness weekends — all with a focus on comfort, style, and relaxation. Teen and young-adult groups are welcome with responsible adult supervision.

The kitchen is thoughtfully designed for both everyday use and relaxed entertaining, featuring upgraded Café appliances—including a 36" dual-fuel gas range—elegant Kohler fixtures, a farmhouse sink, and custom cabinetry with roll-out storage and interior lighting. The adjacent wet bar includes open shelving and a dedicated ice machine, making it easy to prepare cocktails and refreshments. A dining table seating up to eight anchors the space, complemented by a spacious island for shared meals, morning coffee, and relaxed gatherings after a day at the beach.

Upstairs, a dedicated beverage station with sink, Café mini fridge, and Nespresso coffee maker offers a convenient place for morning coffee, chilled water, favorite drinks, or evening wine without heading downstairs.

Guests of the Main House enjoy full access to Kiva Dunes resort amenities**, including the complimentary on-property shuttle, both the East and West beach access points, three community pools, and the tennis and pickleball courts. The home is located just steps from the Osprey Pool and the adjacent tennis and pickleball courts, allowing easy access to recreation beyond the home itself.

Please note: When the guest house is occupied by a separate group, the private pool and spa are shared between both homes. **The private Kiva Beach Club is reserved for owners and guests booked directly through the Kiva Dunes rental program and is NOT available to our guests; all other standard resort amenities listed above are fully available to our guests.

Location & Getting Around:
A car is recommended for grocery trips, restaurants, and exploring Gulf Shores. Within Kiva Dunes, guests can use the free neighborhood shuttle (a large open-air golf cart) to reach the beach access, golf clubhouse, on-site restaurant, pro shop, tennis and pickleball courts, community pools, and the entrance to the golf course. The resort is very walkable inside the community, but most guests prefer having a vehicle for off-property needs.

*This listing includes the main house only. The guest house is a separate, private structure and is not included. The main house and guest house may be rented together under a separate listing.

Pool heating is available for an additional daily fee. The spa (hot tub) is included.

We throughly enjoyed our stay and loved every aspect of the house, pool, host and community! The house was extremely clean, the amenities were stunning and space was perfect for large family that offered sufficient areas for family time and for quiet time. We will definitely book the house again for our next beach trip to the area.

About the host

Hosted by April Truett

Host profile image

We’re a family who loves the Gulf Coast and created Magnolia Mooring as a welcoming, comfortable retreat for guests to enjoy. We value quality, cleanliness, and thoughtful details, and we’re always here to help make your stay wonderful.

Why they chose this property

Magnolia Mooring was designed with intention—from the layout to the smallest details—based on years of experience traveling and staying in coastal homes. The goal was simple: to create a space that feels both elevated and easy to live in, where guests can truly relax without sacrificing comfort or convenience.

What sets this home apart is how naturally it supports time together. The layout allows for gathering without crowding, with open living spaces, multiple porches, and private bedroom suites that give everyone room to unwind. Every bedroom has its own bathroom and direct porch access, making it easy to enjoy both connection and privacy throughout your stay.

The home also offers thoughtful features that make a noticeable difference. The upstairs beverage center allows for quiet mornings with coffee just steps from the bedroom, while the downstairs wet bar and ice maker make it easy to keep drinks ready for time by the pool. The direct staircase from the upper porch to the pool area is a simple but meaningful detail that guests quickly come to appreciate.

Outdoor living is central to the experience. With multiple porches, a private pool and spa, and a variety of seating areas—from the swing bed to rocking chairs—the home is designed to make the most of the coastal setting. Whether you’re starting the day with coffee on the porch or ending it by the fire bowl, the spaces are meant to be used and enjoyed.

Located within the Kiva Dunes community, the home offers a quieter Gulf Coast experience while still providing access to the beach, golf, and nearby amenities. It’s a setting that feels relaxed and removed, yet still connected to everything you need for a memorable stay.

Ultimately, Magnolia Mooring is more than just a place to stay—it’s a home that was designed to be lived in, shared, and enjoyed.

What makes this property unique

Magnolia Mooring was thoughtfully designed from the ground up with the guest experience in mind—combining elevated finishes, practical conveniences, and a layout that makes time together feel easy and natural.

One of the home’s standout features is the seamless indoor-outdoor flow, with every bedroom offering direct porch access and multiple porches providing distinct spaces to relax. From the upper porch swing bed to the shaded dining areas and rocking chairs below, the outdoor spaces feel like an extension of the home rather than an afterthought.

The direct staircase from the upper back porch to the pool area is a guest favorite, allowing easy access between bedrooms and the pool without passing through the main living space—ideal for early mornings, late evenings, or relaxed pool days.

Inside, the home is designed for both gathering and convenience. The upstairs beverage center allows guests to enjoy coffee or refreshments just steps from the bedrooms, while the downstairs wet bar with a built-in ice maker makes it easy to keep drinks cold and accessible for outdoor living.

The private pool and tanning ledge are enhanced with thoughtful details like ledge loungers and an ice bin side table, creating a comfortable and functional space to spend the day without needing to go back inside.

Each bedroom offers its own sense of character through curated design elements, while still maintaining a cohesive, calming feel throughout the home. Combined with en-suite bathrooms for every bedroom, the layout provides both privacy and comfort for larger groups.

Located within the Kiva Dunes community, the home also benefits from close proximity to pickleball and tennis courts just steps away, as well as easy access to the beach via walkover paths or the neighborhood shuttle.

The result is a home that feels both thoughtfully designed and easy to enjoy—well-suited for families, groups, and anyone looking for a more relaxed and refined Gulf Coast experience.
