Your Beachfront Escape: Steps to the Sand, Poolside Lounging & 2 Balconies

Lots of updates! New floors in bedrooms, recently remodeled bathrooms, new UHD 50 inch SMART TV in living room, and in 2025 new beds and furniture in 2nd bedroom, new dining table, new sofas and new washer and dryer!

This fun, 2 bedroom, townhome features stunning beach views and a queen bed in the master bedroom, new full size bed with one trundle and separate twin bed in the second bedroom and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room.

The kitchen is small, but mighty. Kuerig & standard coffee maker, Ninja blender, range with full oven, microwave, toaster, air fryer, George Foreman grill, and dishwasher, makes eating-in a snap.

This is a low density unit, so no high-rise building here! Every window has beach views. Our unit overlooks the pool and is 83 steps to the sand - even if you have short legs!

Beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, boogie boards, wagon, coolers - pretty much everything you need for the perfect beach day is in the carport waiting for you. No need to drag all your gear with you, or rent expensive chairs and umbrellas! We've got you covered.

Parking is FREE for the first car and nominal fee for car #2. Both cars can park right under the unit!

We LOVE to pay it forward. You will find extra condiments, food storage options, sunscreen, and other items in the kitchen and bathrooms that either we as owners have left or other guests have left to help make your stay that much better. If it is there, please use it. If you have extra that you can not travel with or do not want to take home, please leave it and pay it forward. If you use the last of something, please replace it. If you break something, (like an umbrella, beach chair, games, boogie board, etc.) please let me know and then replace it so our next guests will have it available to them.

Come enjoy a slice of paradise!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Tiffany R., Little Rock, Arkansas

The location was great. Easy beach access and close to everything Gulf Shores has to offer.The property advertised updated that seemed more like DIY projects. Sinks were slow to drain or backed up while showering. The couch was dirty and needed to be cleaned. The 2nd bedroom with 2 bed with trundles was super hard to sleep. You could not get the trundle out and make the room usable or comfortable without moving furniture. Cameras are outside and not mentioned in listing. Owner had an emergency and had to come to the unit while we were there. She unclogged the sinks and replaced a dirty air filter while there, but we really thought owners were not supposed to enter the property for personal items after reviewing the VRBO policy and felt like that interaction invaded our privacy during the trip.

Beautiful townhome

We were in town for a softball tournament. It was myself, my husband and my 2 daughters (15y and 11y). This townhome was perfect for us. It has a great view of the pool as well as the beach. You are located within steps of the beach. Unfortunately the flags were yellow and purple our entire stay due to the abundance of jellyfish. We loved being so close to the beach but be aware that if you bring a canopy, you can only set it up behind the white pole. But if you have an umbrella shade you can set it up by the beach/waves. Kim was great to work with and very responsive to all questions. The dryer went out while we were there and Kim was very quick to get someone to the condo to look at it. He was not able to fix it during our stay due to not being able to receive the part in time but Kim was very apologetic and recommended several alternatives to make it easier on us (stinky uniforms and sweaty clothes= yuck)! I appreciated her willingness to try to remedy the situation! All in all, we had a great stay. The townhome was just like the pictures, the view was great and everyone there was friendly! We would for sure stay again!

Wonderful location and beach access

This place was great! Easy easy easy beach access and pool access!!! If we forgot something when we got to the beach it wasn’t a big deal. We could be back in our room in no time. No waiting for elevators or tons of people. The communication from the property manager was impeccable and I was blown away that there were chairs and beach accessories available for us to use. We had a group of 6. My wife and I and our four kids ranging from ages 2 to 14. Everyone was perfectly happy.

Fantastic weekend on the shores!!

My daughter and I stayed here for a volleyball tournament so the proximity of Kim's place near to the event was a bonus. Place is exactly as advertised, they take great care of an older town home located steps from the beach. Well decorated to make you also feel like you are at a vacation house. Kim was so easy to work with and very responsive to questions. What set this apart from most "colder" rentals, i.e. those that are just focused on turning profit and not really about your experience except to guilt you into a 5 start review because things are clean. I digress ;) What set this apart is the "Pay it Forward" attitude of the owners which translates to the guests. A lot of little things you always forget about when traveling were available for us. Lots of places simply clean everything out and throw items away that can be used by the next guest, not here. Anything that can be shared by someone was left and available which really saved us from running to the store at least 6 times. Also, as with most any property there are quirks in how things work so I really appreciate the detailed notes and instructions that were left on appliances or hallways reinforcing how things in the unit worked and where they might need some extra love and patience to operate. Bottom line, really enjoyed our time at this "vacation home" and will definitely look here first next time we are in GS. Thanks again!
