Amazing Fall Break for our 2nd stay

We loved our second stay at the townhouse just as much as our first stay. The added bunk room is amazing. You can’t beat the amenities and cleanliness of the townhouse along with the perfect location that’s close to everything. Thanks for a great fall break!

Great Stay

Loved the location. The property was well maintained. Being next to the pool, and beach was very nice also. The property owner was in contact from day one, and was very helpful, and easy to deal with. Plus, many items were already there. No need to pack a lot of extras.

Beautiful, Chic Condo on the Beach

This beach condo has it all!!! Awake to the sound of the waves or relax on one of the balconies and view the gorgeous beach. The condo has been decorated beautifully and is impeccably clean. The location is just steps from the beach — so helpful for young families. The owner is so kind and caring too. Can’t wait for another vacation here! Thank you!

Perfect for families

We’ve stayed here a few times now and absolutely love it! Such a beautiful location, great beach access, and close to everything you need. Our family has really enjoyed staying here and Gina does such a wonderful job making us feel welcome. The condo is beautiful and has all sorts of stuff (beach chairs, toys, grill) to make it easy. Beach access is only a few hundred feet from the building, and the pool is a nice option when you’re tired of the beach. Plus, lots of sleeping options for our family make this a perfect setup. We would highly recommend this condo for any families wanting to get away for a beach trip and looking for awesome accommodations.

Awesome townhome

We loved our stay at this townhome - great location with easy walk to beach. Townhome has everything you would need - for a day at the beach (chairs, sand toys, towels, umbrella), in the kitchen (pots/pans, coffee maker, blender and crockpot) and for sleeping (comfortable beds, plenty of bedding); not to mention how cute it is! Gina was the best to work with - clear instructions and quick to respond. Would highly recommend this townhome.

Beautiful home and Perfect location!!!

My family had the absolute best vacation! We’ve been coming down to the Gulf of Mexico for years & this was our first time in Gulf Shores. While we loved the town, it was this house that really made the trip. The ease of being steps from the beach & within walking distance of tons of restaurants and shopping was amazing. Also, the beach was not crowded at all! Even on the Fourth of July we got a spot right by the water. The huge crowds were further down the beach. It felt like a private beach just for people staying in the townhomes. It was beautifully decorated and had everything we could need. The beds were super comfy and it was so nice waking up seeing the ocean right out the windows. This is hands down the BEST vacation home!

This condo was perfect for our family. The location is ideal for those who desire easy beach access. Beach chairs along with beach toys are available to use. Cleaning up from the sandy beach is a breeze with a hose located in the garage space before returning to the condo. The kitchen is fully equipped for those who like to stay in and cook from time to time. All accommodations were wonderful!

Perfect

The property is low density and the beach is just a few steps away from the property. The pool and courtyard were awesome and very spacious for our family to play at. We really enjoyed having our own space under the carport to keep all of our beach and pool items. But the best part was our condo. Our unit was amazing and had EVERYTHING we needed. Esp the mattresses. Wonderful to sleep on after a long day out. Loved our stay!!!!

Perfect Family Beach Condo

We absolutely love this condo for our family beach getaway! This was our 3rd year staying at Gina's Condo and it continues to be perfection. The condo is light, bright, and lovely. Views of the Gulf from the primary suite and living room decks are amazing. Beach access is incredibly close and easy - walk out of the condo, 1 minute walk, and you're toes deep into white sugar sand. The location is great with Pier 33 and the West Beach Coffee shop 5 minute walk away. Walking on the beach to the Hangout for dinner is both gorgeous and quick (20 minutes). Gina and her family keep the condo crisp and clean with a lot of great amenities. In 15 minutes or less, you can be racing go-karts at the Track, playing mini golf at Pirate's Island Adventure, or biking through the Gulf State Park. We love eating at the Sunliner Diner (milkshakes!), Lulu's, Picnic Beach, and the Hangout. This condo is truly a perfect place to enjoy the stunning Gulf Shores beach! We're already looking forward to our next stay!

Lovely modern and remodeled unit right on the beach. The unit was clean and very comfortable for our family. It was perfect for spending time together, cooking and enjoying everything Gulf Shores has to offer. It is exactly as listed. Gina was so great to work with and communicated everything very well, making it easy and enjoyable.

Home away from home

This was my 4th year staying in Gina's townhome, and it was perfect as usual. Perfect location for restaurants and shopping, yet plenty of space on the beach. The unit is perfectly stocked, with comfy beds, and beautifully decorated. It's a quick walk out to the beach, with beautiful views from inside. The downstairs closet is fully stocked with everything you need for the beach - chairs, umbrellas, cooler, kids toys, shell nets, etc. I wouldn't dream of staying elsewhere.

My family enjoyed our stay! Perfect location and easy beach access. The beach closet has chairs, umbrellas, boards, buckets, and toys available. I enjoyed all the updates. So many of the available rental properties have very dated decor and furnishings. I wanted to feel like I was on a vacation, and I did! Booking and communicating with Gina was a breeze!

Gulf Shores Family Gem

Wow! We would rent again! The complex is great for groups that want to gather but don’t want to share one home. Our unit was perfect. Everything we needed from fully stocked kitchen to beach chairs and toys. 3 other families rented in the same complex and unit 5 was absolutely the most well appointed and updated. Easy communication, zero issues to report about the unit. We had a wonderful stay! Don’t hesitate - book now!

About the host

Hosted by Gina Kempf

Host profile image
My husband Gary and I are parents to 5 grown children and 5 grandchildren! We are recent empty nesters and are just starting our pre-retirement journey!

We bought this townhome to get out of the cold midwestern winters and make memories with our kids and grandkids.

My husband loves to bike so he really enjoys the miles and miles of bike trails which are great for walking too! There are so many options to enjoy year-round in Gulf Shores!

Why they chose this property

We have family who have been vacationing in Gulf Shores for years and now we are joining them! It truly is a place to gather and make memories!

We are excited to rent out our townhome when we aren't using it and share the fun with others!

Since we like our home to be very nice and updated, we wanted our condo to be the same way. You will love what we have done!

What makes this property unique

Location! Location! Location! The heart of Gulf Shores! Close to everything!

We love Gulfside Townhomes because it is NOT a high rise. It's a unique 2 story townhouse with parking for 2 cars underneath the unit. No elevators just straight down the steps right to the beach! Incredible Gulf Views, Great Pool, Grassy Courtyard.
