We had a lovely time in the house. Very clean. Had everything we needed. The resort was wonderful as well. It was a great Labor Day escape. We would definitely return. Highly recommeedn!
đ„° Wonderful! Thx Leah! Right on the beach AND a big dining table everyone can gather around â love that it made your gatherings special. Thank you so much for the 5-star review! âïžâïžâïžâïžâïž Any suggestions for Gulf & Golf? Or ready to set up a return? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! đïž
This was a great property if you have several families coming together, each needing their own space. Everyone was able to have privacy, but then enjoy the amenities together. We had a wonderful time!
đ„ł Wonderful, Donna! You put your finger on exactly what makes Gulf & Golf East shine for a multi-family trip â everyone gets their own space and privacy, but then you all come together for the amenities and the fun. Together when you want, apart when you need it. That's the sweet spot for group travel! So glad you had a wonderful time. Thank you for the 5-star review! âïžâïžâïžâïžâïž Any suggestions for the home while it's fresh? Or ready to gather the families for a return? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! đïž
We enjoyed every moment of our stay. It was quiet, relaxing, beautiful, comfortable, and clean. We had convenient access to the beach, the pools, and numerous recreational activities. The groceries were a short drive away, if you absolutely needed a break from the beach there were plenty of options for local entertainment. We usually vacationed in Destin, but this was so much less crowded! A definite win for our family!
đ„ł Love it, Bambi! "Enjoyed every moment" â that's exactly what we're going for at Gulf & Golf East! Quiet, relaxing, beautiful, comfortable, AND clean... you hit every note. And I especially love that you made the switch from Destin and found us so much less crowded â that's the Fort Morgan secret! Same gorgeous gulf, way more room to breathe. A definite win indeed! Thank you so much for the 5-star review! âïžâïžâïžâïžâïž Any suggestions for the home while it's fresh? Or ready to trade Destin for a return to Gulf & Golf? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! đ
Enjoyed this home. Great location right on beach. Nice swimming pools. Nicely stocked kitchen & 2 refrigerators was a nice bonus.House was clean.AC seemed to freeze up at times with excessive condensation on air vents. Water dripped on beds and floor. This was a minor issue. Also leak above one of doors during hard rain and a rotten board on floor of one bedroom. None of these issues impacted our stay but wanted to point them out.Would definitely stay in this home again!
đ Awesome, Rick! So glad you enjoyed Gulf & Golf East â right on the beach, the pools, that stocked kitchen with the two fridges (a real group-trip lifesaver!). And thank you for flagging the AC condensation, the door leak in the hard rain, and that soft board â I relayed all of it to my gang on the ground. Really sorry I didn't see a note come through during your stay, though; we'd have hopped right on it! Always sing out in the moment and we'll get after it. So glad none of it slowed you down, and that you'd stay again! Thank you so much for the review! âïž Any other suggestions for Gulf & Golf? Or ready to set up a return? I'd love to hear from you.

We loved our stay here! Access to the resort amenities was amazing and the oceanfront view was stunning! The pools were cold, but the kids still swam and we utilized the indoor pool as well. House was clean and as described & we had easy communication with the hosts. We would stay here again if we decide to come back to the area.
We enjoyed our stay at the beach. We enjoyed watching the waves from the deck! Also the Sun rise and sunset are both beautiful! The bed was very nice and comfortable! The two problems we had, hvac on main floor didn't work on our arrival and birds in the vent, were both handled quickly and without interruption of our stay. Great job! Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your home and for your hospitality!

Fantastic week. Can't wait to come back!
Had another great trip to Gulf & Golf at the Plantation! Love it out there. We are working on reserving BOTH sides next year as we expand! Thank you so much for having us!
Great stay! This was a very nice vacation property. The location is great and having access to the resort pools, tennis courts, and exercise facility was perfect. I would stay here again!
This was a great place for 8 adults, 3 kids, 1 baby. We all had plenty of space. The beds were all super comfortable. Views of the beach were perfect and the property itself is extremely nice. We would love to come back again!
đ We love "perfect"!!! đ Thank you so much for staying in our home, and for the super nice review! Any suggestions for Gulf & Golf at the Plantation, or for Bama Beach Houses and our communications and support? Ping us anytime! Return trip to perfection?! We are here for you! Thanks again! đ
đ„ł Hi Loyd! Thanks for the great âïžâïžâïžâïž review. Weâre glad you enjoyed Gulf & Golf East â the spacious layout, beachfront vibes, and Plantation resort amenities (including the indoor pool for sideways weather) are all designed for relaxing, fun Gulf Shores getaways. đïžđŠ
We were a bit surprised to see a star lost for pricing, as this home is often highlighted for exceptional value compared to similar beachfront homes in the area. Since we didnât hear from you during or after your stay, weâd love to know what you were comparing or what could have made your visit even better.
For a 5-bedroom beachfront home with private pool, decks, and all amenities, the nightly cost per bedroom is markedly less than a standard hotel room off the beach. VRBOâs service fees and optional insurance do add considerably to the cost, but the home itself remains a true value â and you even scored a rare complimentary night, making it an even better deal! đ
Weâd love to hear any specifics about what could improve your stay â feedback from all our guests helps us keep elevating the experience. We reached out multiple times during and after your stay, including via VRBO, email, and text (we try to be super easy to contact!)⊠weâre always just a message away!
We hope youâll consider returning here or one of our other great places â GG books fast, and many other guests know itâs one of the best values on the beach. Weâd be delighted to host you again and make your next visit truly 5-star! đ

Instructional designer. Behavior change researcher. Father of 3. Teacher. Soccer coach. Hoosier. I'm interested in why people do the things they do, what we can do to change those things so that folks live happier and healthier lives, and how technology can help. Plus, well, I love Gulf Shores!
My wife's family have traveled to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Alabama for decades. I became a tag along in the late 1990s, so a Gulf Shores guy by marriage. One thing led to another and we ended up a several large, family-friendly, large group friendly, places along the Gulf. Why I like G&G? The Plantation is a great resort community. You get there, and you never have to leave, and yet its only 15 minutes back to Walmart, King Neptunes, and the rest of the Gulf Shores hubbub. The beach? Same beach as the main West Beach drag. In fact, if you are a runner, especially a beach runner, you can run the sands from G&G to West Beach and back. It's only about a mile or so past the end of West Beach Blvd on the sands. You just can't get there in a car because the nice nature preserve is in the between. Great place to stay, with super amenities both in the unit and around the resort.
Location. Location. Location. Right on the beach, AND in a resort community with its own PGA-qualifier course AND multiple pools and hot tub! Much more... Gulf & Golf is well-accommodated, sleeps up to 32 when you stay in both sides (this listing is for the one side but we own both... contact us if you have smaller, or BIGGER, needs). G&G is a great choice if you want the benefits of a home right on the beach but also the niceties of a resort community--but without the condo/hotel vibe.

Plus. Lower lodging taxes! Save 7% AND you can have your drinks and umbrellas on the beach!
