6BR house steps from the beach w POOL

The Wavewatch is a beautiful beachfront house just 1 mile west of the main intersection in Gulf Shores. Upper and lower decks attached to the living quarters and a large deck surrounding a 16 x 30 pool give plenty of room for sunbathing and relaxing. The house is directly on the beach with spectacular ocean views. It is one of the premier properties on West Beach.

The Wavewatch is a duplex with each self contained unit designated by 'West' and 'East' sides. Each side contains 6 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms on three floors. There is also covered parking for two cars and off-road parking for an additional two cars on each side. Although both sides are very similar, they each rent through separate listings on this site and the remainder of this description is specific to Wavewatch East. Wavewatch West can be found at listing # 116269

From the covered parking area the ground floor may be accessed via the main entrance or the pool deck via an exterior stairway. The ground floor interior features an entry with a large coat closet and a bedroom with twin over twin and twin over full bunk beds.

The main floor features a beautiful open living area with a den/entertainment area, dining area and large kitchen. This level also includes a full bathroom and two bedrooms, each one with a queen-sized bed. The newly remodeled gourmet kitchen includes granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a large bar with seating plus an enclosed pantry.

The top floor contains the master suite, and two additional bedrooms. The master suite has a king-sized bed, walk-in closet, private bathroom and a private deck overlooking the beach and pool. The second bedroom on this level has a queen-sized bed; the third has a full-sized bed. The hallway on this floor provides access to the third bathroom and the laundry area as well as the bedrooms.

The house comfortably accommodates groups of all ages and is appointed throughout with all of the comforts of home in an up-to-date style. This section of beach truly affords privacy but is only minutes away from the attractions and entertainments of Gulf Shores.

We are a family owned dwelling catering to family groups. We do not rent to spring-breakers, bachelor, or bachelorette parties.

Keywords: Beach, Pool, on the water,
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a sofa bed.

The house was nice and the beach access was great! The pool needs some updates but overall still very nice to have the pool as an option. The bedrooms are a bit tight but the master was awesome and had balcony access. Also want to note this was one of the best decorated houses my family has stayed in!

Unwanted Guests

Pros: Great view and the pool is a very nice break from the beach, especially for kids. Beach chairs and umbrellas are also a huge plus.Cons: Kitchen pantry has an incredible amount of junk inside, leaving no room for food. Fridge ice maker did not work and the response from host when notified was basically “sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t”. Not exactly the answer that I was looking for. Finally, there are bats that have taken up residence in either the ceiling of the deck or one of its columns. Found several one morning hanging out in our coolers and inside our kids toy bags. Had a couple exchanges with host, and midweek offered to send video of where they are coming from but never received a response. Disappointing

Great beach house, good location. There are two things you might address. My son and his wife had to clean the skinner basket and pool pump filter. Then they did a back wash. We got a nice clean pool.My wife said, you need a new refrigerator filter. Its not making ice, water flow is weak.

The best possible place to stay

The house was amazing, clean, and had a great location for the beach & short drives to restaurants. The view of the beach is beautiful. The pool is a great way to end the day after a long time on the beach. Can’t wait to come back to this house in the future!

high end, great location, small misses

Perfect location on a quieter section of beach away from condo row. house is very nice and slept 5 couples in individual bedrooms with a bunk room that slept another 5 individuals. Ample bathroom space for the large group.Just a few things to be aware of are that you will need to come with all of your own supplies. There was no trash bags provided, toliet paper is minimal and not suffiecient for a multi night stay with full occupancy. These items are fine, just be aware upfront. Also, internet speed is very slow.these small misses are the items that kept me from giving an overall 5 star review but I would certainly come back.

Great Location and House

We loved the house. The location was closed to Waves store to pick up items. Easy access to the beach. Included a pool that we shared with the other side of the duplex. It was a lot of fun.. The best surprise was to find out that the owner had arranged service for umbrellas and chairs to be set up on the beach each day and picked up at the end of the day. This made it so easy for everyone. Would highly recommend this house.

Graves Family Vacay

The property has a beautiful view of the gulf and great access to the beach. However, there were only three umbrellas and six chairs to share between the split beach house. The family next to us were very friendly but, utilized the umbrellas and chairs on most days. Additionally, there should be instructions on outside garbage placement. We used one of the bins that apparently wasn’t taken to the street for pickup. It may have been because we were using a recycling pin; not sure.
