We had an amazing stay at Lux Mar Vista Beachfront in Gulf Shores, Alabama from 5/15/26 to 5/17/26! This home was perfect for our entire family—plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax comfortably. The beachfront location made it even better, with beautiful views and easy access to the water.Everything about our stay was enjoyable, and the house truly felt like a home away from home. If you’re looking for a spacious, family-friendly place in Gulf Shores, we highly recommend this property. We would absolutely stay here again!

We had a wonderful and memorable week and this home for our situation perfectly. Our family ranges in ages from 6 years old to 80 years old and with a total of 15 people everyone had their own spaces. The pool and deck area seemed to be our favorite hangout spot. We enjoyed an easy walk the beach every day and loved the privacy. We felt close enough to anything we would need but not on top of each other and fighting for beach space. We would totally rent again here- great home and amenities! A Fourth of July to remember for our family!

A Vacation to Remember

Beach house was beautiful and clean. The view from the outside deck and porch were unbeatable. The house was quiet with no close neighbors and a private walkway to beach. The pool was a perfect size. Requests that were made to the rental company were handled quickly and for the most part resolved.

Perfect beach access

Loved the location! The house was perfect for all of us! We have 5 children plus spouses and 5 grandchildren and it fit all of us comfortably. Loved the pool as well! There was usually some of us at the beach and some at the house which made it easy for the grandchildren to walk back and forth as needed! Felt very comfortable with them using the boardwalk to go to and from the beach! And basically had our own private beach area!!

Fantastic Beach House!

We have been to Gulf Shores many times, always staying in a VRBO. We normally travel with our children and a few of their friends-about 12 people on average, current ages are 12-28 plus my husband and I. This house was the overall favorite of the group. As with all things, there are pros and cons to everything. The cons here were slight. The pros, it was very close to all town activities AND, it was a short walk down the private path to the beach. The pool was heated and warm when we arrived (March vacation needs the pool heater). The elevator gave us the ability to NOT have to help the children carry their items up, haha! The best part, everyone slept well because the house was quiet. Sounds crazy, but with a house full of people you are normally bothered by all of the sounds. Not here (minus Lead Foot Larry that was rooming above the master...aka, my teens)! It was beautifully decorated and totally comfortable. The rental company was very easy to communicate with and they were totally responsive to all questions, issues or concerns (none with the house, just booking issue on my end). Overall, 10 stars all around. We had a wonderful vacation.
