About this property

DIRECT Gulf Front 5th Floor 2 bedroom 2 bath Condo STUNNING VIEW!!

Please note, VRBO now has a SERVICE FEE that they charge guests, which is not our fee and we see none of that money. ALSO the CITY of GULF SHORES is implementing an additional lodging TAX on rentals. As owners, we don't agree with this but beach rentals are an easy target to TAX by the government without backlash from residents because it's not a tax on everyone. Just a select group. Wanted to be clear with guests about that..

Our 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit is on the 5th floor of a low density complex that only has 6 floors, so the view is grand from our balcony! This complex is one of Gulf Shores’ most popular rental complexes, with affordable rates, convenience of walking to restaurants/shopping and DIRECT gulf -front condos.

The living room has flood to ceiling sliding glass doors showing a stunning view of the sugar sand beach and sparkling blue waves below. From the balcony you will enjoy watching the activities on the beach, the red sunset or taking a nap listening to the methodical rolling of waves against the shore.

The master bedroom has a king size bed and a private bath. The new flat screen tv has been wall mounted for easy viewing from bed. This tv has a built-in DVD player as well as cable.

The second bedroom has a beautiful view of the beach through the double windows! It has a queen bed, a wall mounted flat screen tv with cable.

The living room has a large flat screen TV with cable. It also has a sleeper sofa.

The renovated kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could want, the dining area has seating for four.

Both bathrooms have been renovated with new fixtures, toilets and cabinets.

The sparkling pool is located on the north side of the complex, which keeps sand and debris from blowing into it constantly. It has plenty of seating for laying out in the sun or watching the kids swim.

The Island Shores complex is a low density, family oriented facility with only 59 units in a building with 6 floors. It is located in the heart of Gulf Shores, with shopping, Alabama State Fishing Pier, restaurants, fresh seafood markets and much more all within walking distance of the unit. The Sea and Suds is a wonderful restaurant on the beach within a stone’s throw of our complex.

No smoking in the unit or on the balcony and no pets inside the unit or on the property at Island Shores!

There is a drink vending machine, a coin operated laundry(which also accepts credit cards) and of course an elevator and luggage carts for your convenience.

The Complex is within a short drive of several grocery stores (including a Wal -Mart Supercenter), pharmacies, package stores, movie rentals, spas, deep sea fishing charters, movie theaters, golf courses, water parks, mini golf, the Tanger Outlet Mall in Foley, Gulf Shores State Park, the Alabama Birding Trail and Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge.

History buffs can ride out to Fort Morgan State Park, built in 1834 and heavily used during the civil war. For those that want to visit her sister fort across Mobile Bay, Fort Gaines, they can take the interesting ride on the car ferry over to Dauphin Island! Makes a great day trip!

For those that have never experienced the night life on the beach, you are in for a wonderful time. There are many night clubs in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. The Pink Pony and The Hangout are a half mile from our condo. Live Bait is a popular spot in Orange Beach. All have live music most of the time. One of the best places to experience the Gulf Coast nightlife and meet people ages 18 to 80 is the world famous roadhouse, the Florabama Lounge. Located right on the Alabama/Florida line, the Florabama has beach access, great food and some of the best live music around, but don’t take the kids past 6 pm… unless they are at least 18 years old!

Island Shores is only an hour away from Mobile Alabama, 30 minutes from Pensacola Florida, and 10 minutes from Foley, Alabama. Located directly on the beach at 421 East Beach Blvd, ½ half mile east of where 59 ends at the public beach in Gulf Shores. From I-10, take highway 59 to Gulf Shores and take a left on East Beach Blvd, then go ½ mile and Island Shores is on the right. From the Foley Beach Express, after going through the toll bridge keep going straight until you dead end into Canal Road, then take a right and follow it to 59 and take another left, then when 59 dead ends at the beach take another left and go ½ mile and Island Shores is on your left.

If you happen to be in need of two adjoining units, then please ask because we have friends that own unit 554 right beside our unit and we can get you in touch with them and coordinate rentals during the same time frame.

We have a total of 7 condos available in the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area. Six are at island Shores. Check out our 4th floor unit at Island Shores at VRBO #681060. Our 3rd floor unit at Island Shores is VRBO #3190368. We also have two 2nd floor units at Island Shores that are right beside each other VRBO #555508 (254) and VRBO #2184207 (253).
