Gina was amazing. She was available to answer every question. As a first time beach goer it was so nice not to have to pack a car full of toys, towels, beach chairs, etc. She had everything you might need. It was steps away from the beach. We never even wore shoes when we walked out. The use of space was fantastic. There were 4 of us. 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The extra bunk room was perfect for them and their much needed privacy. This property will be #1 on our list next year!!! Thanks so much!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Gina Kempf

Host profile image
We are Gary and Gina Kempf parents to 5 grown children and 11 grandchildren! We have been hosting our beach condo for 6 years and have the best guests!

Our complex is great for families and extended families who want to rent condos together and enjoy the beautiful pool, grounds, and beach within steps of the front door.

We keep our condo updated, very clean and in great shape. We use it too, so we want it to be nice!

Our location is one of the best in the area! Read our reviews! You will love how convenient it is to stay here with the beach literally in your back yard!



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

Why they chose this property

Location is the best in town!

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.
