You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Perfect Gulf Front Beach House *Beach Club Amenities*The Best of Both Worlds!

Enjoy the beautiful, unobstructed view from the large beachfront deck, or walk directly to beach and the fabulous Gulf waters. Watch for the dolphins when the Gulf is calm, and enjoy riding the waves with your boogie board when the surf is up!

Almost Heaven is a lovely direct Gulf front home with tile floors throughout and ceiling fans in all rooms. The furnishings are tasteful and comfortable.

The kitchen is fully equipped, including a full sized refrigerator, range, dishwasher, microwave, and small appliances including a crock pot, hot plate, hand mixer, blender, coffee maker, and more.

The living room has vaulted ceilings and a wonderful view of the beach and gulf from the sofa, chairs and two matching recliners. It also has satellite TV and additional televisions in three of the four bedrooms.

The fourth bedroom (two twin beds) has a smart tv for Netflix and other streaming services.
All four bedrooms have large built-in chests of drawers and spacious closets.


Two bedrooms have King beds, one bedroom has a Queen bed, and the fourth has two twin-sized beds. We also have a Fisher-Price 3-n-1 travel portable crib and highchair. A queen sized sleeper sofa is available in the living area.

Linens and normal cleaning are included in the rental fee.

Parking is located under the home.

Amenities: We are members of The Beach Club, and as our guests you can enjoy all of the privileges that The Beach Club has to offer (administrative fee from The Beach Club applies/$49 per day of use covers the group).You can enjoy swimming in any of the Five outdoor pools, and sunbathing areas at The Club. There are also Five Jacuzzis, two steam rooms, two saunas, indoor pool, exercise room, an European health spa with fees, game room, and gated playground.

The Beach Club offers fine dining at the Beach Club Restaurant which includes a lovely outdoor balcony overlooking the pool and Gulf of Mexico.

More casual dining is offered at the Village Market where you can also purchase groceries and gourmet sundries. If you prefer to snack by the pool, there is a tiki bar offering frozen summer drinks and an outdoor grill. In addition, there is a soda fountain and delicious ice cream parlor at the Village Mercantile. You are a few miles from Jessie’s on the Bay, three Sassy Bass restsurants, and Tacky Jacks2.

There are activities offered for all age groups. The area is abundant with fabulous golf courses: Kiva Dunes, The Peninsula, and Craft Farms, just to name a few. There are also tennis courts at the Beach Club. During the summer months, there are planned activities for the young ones, such as visits to the zoo, face painting, pizza parties, and contests of all kinds on the beach! In addition, there are planned winter activities for the snow birds!

While the house is lovely and very comfortable, the most impressive feature of Almost Heaven on the Beach is the front yard: white sand and the Gulf of Mexico.

The house itself is so relaxing. The view is incredible. Almost Heaven is designed to bring families together. It is close enough to 'town' to enjoy going out to dinner or souvineer shopping, but in a private neighborhood where you will enjoy your space and privacy. Enjoy getting to know each other again. That is what family vacations are for.

Spring Break at Cabana Beach

We enjoyed our Spring Break at Cabana Beach. The beach house had plenty of space for a family of six. Fantastic view and great beach right off the deck. The weather was good but not great during the week we stayed so it was nice to have the option for Beach Club access. Very nice indoor/outdoor pools and fitness facilities. Overall, would definitely recommend the beach house.

Beach Gem

This beach house was exactly what my family needs each year. With over a decade of staying in crowded Gulf Shores, this house was a perfect fit. We needed a beach front view, 4 bedrooms, and nothing too crowded on the beach. This place checked all the boxes! Quiet neighborhood and not too far to drive if wanting to get to the reqular stops for food and shopping in Gulf Shores. We would highly recommend.

Great family vacation beach house.

The lived-in but clean beach house was great for our family vacation with little kids. The house was clean, nicely furnished, and well loved so we never had to worry about the kids scratching the coffee table or the like. We only had to focus on spending good family time and the wonderful location in a peaceful location, not a resort area. The home is ON THE BEACH, so it wasnt anything for our 6 year old to run back from the beach and grab a beach toy by himself. All in, this place worked PERFECT for what we were going for.
