BEST in Bel Sole! -- 2026 Spring & Summer Availability - Beginning Mar 31st
Welcome to BEL SOLE' !!!
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. You get the best of both worlds in this Gulf-to-Bay end unit with both GULF and BAY balconies. 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. The views are spectacular, the beaches unmatched, NOT crowded AND unlike most condo’s on the AL Gulf coast. Bel Sole is the ONLY Beach and Bay front resort on the Alabama Gulf Coast with our own private beach on the GULF and marina on the bay !!!
This spacious open floor plan condo includes a newly updated KITCHEN with granite counter tops, new stainless steel appliances, separate ice-maker/wet bar and all the modern conveniences you would find at home. The kitchen is stocked with upgraded pots & pans, silverware, dishes & glasses and almost any special kitchen item you might NOT expect to find at a rental condo (see guest comments). In addition to a coffee maker, we also provide our guests a Keurig Coffee maker (if you prefer to bring your own coffee pods). Our goal is to convince you our kitchen / condo is one of the BEST STOCKED you will find on the gulf coast :<) The kitchen opens to a bar top that seats 3, a small desk space, dining area (seats 6) , living area and the BAY.
The over-sized LIVING ROOM offers ample seating for up to 8 guests to gather & recover from a great day on the beach or watch their favorite show/sporting event on the 65in HD CABLE TV.
