OK, we’ve all been there. You find yourself in charge of coordinating a trip to the beach for an extended family. Two bedrooms are not enough, 4 bedrooms may be too many, and depending on who can actually get off work and show up months from the time you have to make the reservation, 3 bedrooms may be too little or too much. What do you do?

Well, one answer is 2 living spaces in 1.

So, what does 2 living spaces in 1 mean? It's the answer to getting the whole family together at the beach and still having some private space. This is actually 2 units (1602 and 1603), which are two separate living spaces that share an entry foyer and laundry area. Once you enter from the interior common hallway into the foyer, you can enter one side that has a master bedroom, full bath, kitchenette and living room with a Murphy bed (true queen size mattress). This is Unit 1602. When you return to the foyer the other entry has 2 large bedrooms - each with a King Size Bed, 2 full baths, a full kitchen, balcony overlooking the beach, and a huge living/dining area. This is Unit 1603. This set up is perfect for In-laws, Snowbirds, another family, grown children or whoever else you want to bring along. Unit 1602 can be locked off if it is not needed.

Once everyone settles into their own space, you may want to meander on down to the beach with your beach towels provided from the condo. Plan on soaking in the wonderful luxury of Escapes! to the Shores. On your way to the beach you will see the three pools, hot tub, sauna, steam room, workout room, outdoor fireplace, grills, and much, much more. By the time your toes touch the sand you realize this place has it all.

Here's what I offer that no one else does:

* A 100% refund, for any reason or for no reason, up to the day of arrival. No questions asked. Life happens, so I understand that circumstances change over time and you should not be held hostage over it. Therefore, vacation insurance is not needed so you can save that money and go out for a great seafood dinner.

* Included in the rental is a complimentary (free) beach lounger (2 chairs and 1 umbrella) that is set-aside for guests of unit 1603!! You must ask the attendant and tell them you are in Unit 1603, and they will then designate one for your use at no cost. This service will be available for your free use from Mid-March to Mid-October. No other condo, anywhere, offers this amenity other than Unit 904 at the Escapes! that I also own. So, take the $35 per day you will save and go shopping at Tanger Outlets in Foley!

* Inside the unit is a STOCKED Keurig with upwards of ten different flavors of coffee, tea, and hot chocolate available for you pleasure. We are not talking the Wal Mart "Great Value" flavors, either. Starbucks, Paul Newman's, Dunkin Donuts, Green Mountain, etc. awaits you. No need to bring your own so take that money and go deep sea fishing one day.

* Whoa!! For those rainy days and gamer kids, you get access to a Sony Playstation 5 with a modest selection of PS5 games. It's hard to even find one of these, much less find one in a beach rental!

* At the beginning of each season,. I scour VRBO and see what the rates are at the other units in my building. Then I set mine lower.

* What's better than a Stressless leather recliner?? Not one, but two full leather recliners from Stressless! Never sat in a Stressless recliner? Well, prepare yourselves for a treat!

NOTE TO SNOWBIRDS:

Perfect for 2 couples or company coming to visit, each having their own private space (in-law suite has fully stocked kitchenette).

This condo is a perfect set up for snowbirds! Just picture it...you're on the beach for the winter and when family comes down to visit they have their own suite to stay in, separate, but together. There is covered parking, interior hallways (temperature controlled) to room, excellent security, on-site management and too many amenities to list. Give me a call and I will fix you up with a Snowbird Nest you will want to return to year after year!
