BEST in Bel Sole! -- Spring & Summer 2024 Availability beginning Memorial Week.

Welcome to BEL SOLE' !!!

Since Hurricane Sally, Bel Sole' is back better than ever. The complex has been refurbished, both inside and out including a complete rebuild of the Bel Sole' Pier / Marina.

Wilson’s Bay Retreat is a beautifully decorated 2000+ sq ft, 3 BR / 3 Bath condo that offers you a unique experience on West Beach in Gulf Shores, AL.

Bel Sole' is a low density, access controlled high rise complex located just across the street from the beach with private gated beach access on the residential end of West Beach with 3 units per floor.

Double sliding doors provide access to the shared GULF Balcony with seating to enjoy the view of the white sugar sand while you enjoy the beverage of your choice.

The 3RD BEDROOM is a perfect haven for the kids and includes a Queen bed & 1 set of twin bunk beds - room sleeps 4. This bedroom also includes a flat panel HD cable TV. A 3rd over-sized bathroom is located just outside the bedroom.

Paradise and More
We stumbled across this property on pure coincidence and couldn't have been more pleased to have done so. The pictures just give a glimpse of all this property has to offer. It is beyond breathtaking when you actually arrive and experience for yourself the views from both balconies. We are kicking ourselves for only being able to stay for a short time. This property has everything you could want and more - from a fully stocked kitchen to a day at the beach. Even our teenagers are asking when we can return. And to top it off, Blake was informative, detailed, and very responsive. We couldn't have asked for a better trip to The Shores. So glad the stars aligned and we found ourselves at Bel Sole.

West Beach Paradise
After the tornado Monday morning, which went out to sea just a little west of us. The rest of the week was truly west beach paradise. Views of both the lagoon and Gulf always provided us condo dwellers a pleasant sight while the younger ones went to the beach. This place has an exquisitely equipped kitchen for all recipes. The condo will spoil you with luxury on your first day leaving the remainder of your stay dreading departure day. Steven & Linda

Beautiful condo with great views
We had a great week at Wilson's Bay Retreat. A very nice clean spacious condo. The 8th floor unit spans the west side of the building with balconies on both the beach and lagoon sides. The unit was well stocked. Thank you Blake for a wonderful stay!!

Book this rental now!! Literally EVERYTHING you could need and then some.
First, let me say I’ve stayed in A LOT of beach condos all over the panhandle and beyond as well as STR in general. I’ve never stayed in a unit as stocked as this one. I’ll model my own personal STR after this unit as I would booked it again based on everything you could need is already there. For example, there’s a locker/storage space on the bottom floor which holds beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, a huge tailgate style tent, floats, and a wagon to pull it all down to the beach. You literally do not need to bring any beach stuff from your home. Also, there are about 10 huge beach towels in the unit for your use. I was skeptical about not bringing any of my beach towels on this trip, but I’m so glad I did not as the beach towels in the unit are plush and perfect. The unit has everything from every size baggie you can think of to k-cups, laundry detergent, spices, majorly stocked kitchen supplies, bandaids, jellyfish spray, sunscreen, etc. The extra ice maker in the wet bar area was a major plus! Also, the unit is huge! The views are amazing of little lagoon on one side and the ocean on the other. This end of the beach is primarily houses, so it’s very low congestion. The indoor pool was great for the little beach showers. We fished from the beautiful pier at the complex. This is the best complex and unit in Gulf Shores. The owner, Blake, was an amazing communicator who clearly cares about his renters and how his property represents him. We will certainly be back!
