About this property

🌴Have it all! ☀️Waterfront - Lagoon - Pool - Steps to Gulf ⛱- 3 Balconies 🌅

Welcome to Summer House West, located in West Beach, Gulf Shores! The complex is nestled between Little Lagoon and The Gulf of Mexico.

This updated 2 BR / 2.5 BA condo is the best of both worlds! We sit directly on Little Lagoon and across the street (100 yards) from the Gulf of Mexico. It's like two vacations in one! Walk across the street for the waves and surf of the white sand beaches or spend the day fishing, boating, lounging on Little Lagoon. As a guest mentioned, the walk to the beach is shorter than some high rise condos directly on the beach! Condo comfortably houses 6 guests.

Beaches - Pool - Lagoon - Fishing pier with cleaning station - Gazebo - BBQ

This condo is a townhouse (1,300 square feet) with the bedrooms (2) on the second floor, both with full bathrooms and their own balconies (master balcony overlooks the lagoon, guest bedroom balcony has view of the Gulf of Mexico). Condo has 3 private balconies in all.

The main floor has the kitchen, pantry, half-bath, laundry, dining room that seats 6, and living room with two sofas (one is a fold-out sofa bed), 42 inch TV, and balcony that overlooks Little Lagoon! The kitchen is fully stocked with all of the appliances, cookware and dishes you will need to prepare meals during your vacation. There are also charcoal grills for your use.

The complex has a swimming pool, private beach access (100 yards from condo, across a non busy street), a fishing pier, and a fish cleaning station, gazebo with grilling area, charcoal grills and picnic tables. There is free covered parking for two cars, as well as additional guest spaces.

Guests have access to owner's closet in carport to use (beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys, floats, beach cart) and store personal gear (beach, fishing, or other).

Summer House West is a small, quaint complex with a total of 32 units. It has 3 buildings and our unit is in the back building directly on Little Lagoon!

*Please note as this is a small complex, there is no elevator, only stairs. Our condo entrance is on the second floor.

Located in the West Beach area of Gulf Shores, Summer House West is 3.5 miles from the heart of Gulf Shores--The Hangout and the "T" and a 15-minute drive to the Orange Beach area.

Gorgeous Little Lagoon Pass is just a 0.5 mile away!

We are close enough for convenience, but far enough for getting away from it all!

Snowbirds welcome!

Free wifi provided.

Fantastic condo, location and owners

The condo was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The location is unbeatable, and Carrie is as nice a person as you will ever meet. A few times in your life you will be lucky enough to correspond with someone who, even though you’ve never met them before, it feels like you’re talking to a lifelong friend. That is how I would describe Carrie. Extremely caring and helpful. The weather during our stay was perfect and we have no complaints or issues whatsoever. Hopefully someday we can book this place again. Thanks again for allowing us to stay in your beautiful condo!

About the host

Hosted by Carrie and Robert Burns

Our family fell in love with the Gulf Shores area over a couple of years visiting. We enjoy exploring new areas, but Gulf Shores kept calling us back!

We enjoy vacation time that offers a little bit of everything-water sports, nature, local spots for food and drink, good people to share the time, shelling, walking and relaxing on the beach, entertainment for kids that doesn't break the bank, amazing sunsets to cap off the day, and a comfortable place to call home for the week! We found all of that and more here at Summer House West!

It's our pleasure to share this spot with you. We hope you make as many memories as we have!

Why they chose this property

We love Summer House West! We were drawn to the location because, for us, it is in the best spot in the Gulf Shores area-- away from the crowds, but close enough for convenience and fun. We love being on the water, nestled between the lagoon and the Gulf - it truly is the best of both worlds! Summer House West has a laid back, cozy feel. We know friends and family and guests will find it as warm and inviting as we do! Enjoy!

Gulf Shores is a city on Alabama's Gulf Coast. Its Gulf State Park has beaches, trails and a pier, plus a golf course and a zip line over the dunes. To the west, sea turtles and migratory birds thrive among the coastal habitats of Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. Farther west, 19th-century Fort Morgan guards Mobile Bay. The Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo offers hands-on encounters with lemurs, kangaroos and sloths.

What makes this property unique

Summer House West is nestled between Little Lagoon and The Gulf of Mexico. It's like two vacations in one with sitting directly on the lagoon and just steps (100 yards across a non busy street) from the beach, Gulf of Mexico.
