There are four covered parking spaces at the front of the house and a large deck beneath the house that looks out onto the ocean. This makes for a fantastic area to dine, play games and relax in the shade. This area also features a fully functioning outdoor shower with hot and cold water.
Located in the desirable beach community of Surf Side Shores, just past the renowned World Class Kiva Dunes Golf course!

The best of both worlds. All the amenities but you are far enough away from the crowds to claim this as your own little piece of heaven.

Host profile image
We have been making beach trips together since 1988. We have been to many beaches of Florida and Alabama but after bringing our family to this area for years, we finally decided we wanted to own a little slice of heaven too. We have taken notes on what we enjoyed most about all the other rentals we stayed in and are striving to make this a well equipped house that showcases all the fun a family can have here.
This isn't just a rental, this is our second home and we spend a lot of time here so we are looking for families that will be respectful and treat it well.

Why they chose this property

We love Gulf Shores and Fort Morgan and feel comfortable here. We always dreamed of having our own place and knew there were certain amenities we wanted in a beach house to accommodate how we "beach". We fell in love with this house immediately. We looked at quite a few over the course of a full year before choosing this home. We travel with my husbands brother and his family every year so finding a house that had space for all of us was important. It didn't have to be huge, it just needed to be "family friendly" because our kids are now giving us grandkids! We wanted an entertaining space that the whole family could hang out and this open concept living/dining/kitchen was a start. But honestly it was when we stepped on the deck that is under the house that really cinched the deal. It is a large entertaining space with fantastic views, picnic tables, chairs, grill, outdoor shower and shade. We can play corn hole here, listen to music, dance and have dinner while listening to the waves. The kitchen is large enough for all of us to gather and make our special dinners that we do and seating for all of us, too!

What makes this property unique

With 5 bedrooms there is space for a good group. Each room has either a king or queen bed and there isn't a "bunk room" but there is a bunk in one of the queen rooms. We opted to not have fold out couches because really who wants to sleep on one of those?! 3.5 bathroom plus an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water means that getting ready to go out is a breeze. There is an ice maker so you never run out of ice for all those beachy beverages. We stocked the kitchen with crockpots, blenders, coffee makers, food processor, toaster, dishes and cookware for whatever you need. We have a storage room with a few beach chairs and toys that you welcome to use, just please return them. Leave something if you don't want to carry it back home so that next renter can enjoy it. There is a Weber grill, Please be careful of the coals. There are many games and puzzles in the living room cabinet. We have provided sofa covers in the bottom drawer of the TV entertainment center...if you are like some of our group, and you know you are likely to spill...feel free to use the covers!
