Other great features include a sundeck area and covered porch, central air/heat, washer/dryer, televisions, cable, DVD players, and telephone service with free long distance. Towel service is available. There are community grills right across from the home.
Please note: this home is absolutely beachfront. It is located right on the gulf, with nothing between you and the gulf except the sand dunes. However, as with many areas on the gulf, you CANNOT walk directly from the back of this home to the water because of the protected dunes. They serve a very important role in protecting the homes, and harboring wildlife, and walking over them is not allowed as it breaks them down. However, there is a nice wide boardwalk right off our little private cul de sac (in fact, right by the closest of the pools which is ALSO right on our cul de sac, 2 homes over, so "right there"). This short boardwalk takes you directly to the beach/water, and, as a bonus, is great for folks who may have mobility concerns or may be lugging stuff in wagons or what have you! :-)

PLANTATION RESORT. AMENITIES GALORE! The “Gulf and Golf” is located in the Plantation resort, next to the beautiful 18 hole Kiva Dunes Championship Golf Course. Approximately 12 miles west of Gulf Shores on Fort Morgan Parkway at Gulf Shores Plantation. Same great white sand beaches! Wonderful amenities, and at a great rate!
Kiva Grill and Sassy Bass Island Grill are both in the resort, and less than a half mile walk from this beachfront unit! Food, drink. Ultra convenient!
Amenities on the Plantation grounds include 1 indoor and 6 outdoor swimming pools, whirlpool, lighted tennis courts, basketball court, putting green, game rooms, volleyball, secluded beach, and cabanas. What all is presently available? Let's look!
6 Outdoor Pools Indoor Pool Indoor/Outdoor Hot Tubs Fitness Center Sauna/Steam Rooms 7 Lighted Tennis Courts Shuffleboard Court Basketball Court Volleyball Courts Game Room Horseshoe Pits Outdoor BBQ Grills/Picnic Tables Umbrella/Beach Chair Rentals Beach Store/Coffee Bar Onsite Restaurant - Sassy Bass Island Grill Laundry Facilities Gated Community 24/7 Security Adjacent to Kiva Dunes Golf Course ** Resort wide amenities subject to change, temporary or permanent closure, and are not guaranteed. Sorry!
Located on Fort Morgan, Gulf & Golf is close to many restaurants, golf courses, and other things to do, feels away from it all (but is only a short drive to all the hubbub on Gulf Shores itself), and is often a more cost-efficient choice for those who seek something a little more laid back.
We offer HUGE discounts for month-long winter stays (up to 80%), a 7 for the price of 6 night special many times of the year (it is already factored into weekly pricing on VRBO!), and if you have a special request, e.g., for a non-Saturday check-in, we are happy to consider it. Please note, generally stays must be Saturday to Saturday during the summer--G&G is just way to popular and busy then to make exceptions. Sorry!
How can I help you? Looking forward to hosting you family or group!

The deck furniture was very comfortable, and we loved the view of the ocean and even the sunsets from there. The house was awesome, everything we could have asked for. We've stayed in several other properties at the Plantation, and this house was by far the most enjoyable, and the location was perfect. We will be coming back for years to come.
This was perfect vacation for our family. We were four families with lots of kids. Played so much inside the house and made great memories. House is right at the beach and views are stunning. Kitchen is full with everything which helped us cook a lot and easily. Rooms were clean, everything was organized, AC/Heater were working and has good space for parking.Amenities are amazing as well. It was cold when we went but heated pool was bliss.Enjoyed the new year at The Wharf which was family friendly.We are definitely coming back.

Perfect, and those views!
We stayed here for a short 2 days. Loved it. We need to come back longer! Looks like they just put in new windows too. The views were wonderful of the dunes and gulf! Indoor pool was a great bonus for the 'rain' day. We will be back!

About the host

Instructional designer. Behavior change researcher. Father of 3. Teacher. Soccer coach. Hoosier. I'm interested in why people do the things they do, what we can do to change those things so that folks live happier and healthier lives, and how technology can help. Plus, well, I love Gulf Shores!
My wife's family have traveled to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Alabama for decades. I became a tag along in the late 1990s, so a Gulf Shores guy by marriage. One thing led to another and we ended up a several large, family-friendly, large group friendly, places along the Gulf. Why I like G&G? The Plantation is a great resort community. You get there, and you never have to leave, and yet its only 15 minutes back to Walmart, King Neptunes, and the rest of the Gulf Shores hubbub. The beach? Same beach as the main West Beach drag. In fact, if you are a runner, especially a beach runner, you can run the sands from G&G to West Beach and back. It's only about a mile or so past the end of West Beach Blvd on the sands. You just can't get there in a car because the nice nature preserve is in the between. Great place to stay, with super amenities both in the unit and around the resort.
Location. Location. Location. Right on the beach, AND in a resort community with its own PGA-qualifier course AND multiple pools and hot tub! Much more... Gulf & Golf is well-accommodated, sleeps up to 32 when you stay in both sides (this listing is for the one side but we own both... contact us if you have smaller, or BIGGER, needs). G&G is a great choice if you want the benefits of a home right on the beach but also the niceties of a resort community--but without the condo/hotel vibe.
Plus. Lower lodging taxes! Save 10% over Gulf Shores and Orange Beach locations.
