We’ve been coming to Gulf Shores for 30 years, sometimes multiple times per year. This house is new and updated with plenty of space. Large kitchen, large bedrooms with full bathrooms and a bonus 3rd full bathroom on the main level. It has a great little porch too. The parking under the house was outstanding and had a hose and shower head to rinse off after the beach. Beach access is easy, just a short walk through the little complex, cross the street and you’re there. We enjoyed our stay and will include this in our short list of places to stay.
