About this property

Gulf Front 1st Floor 2br/2ba Condo CLOSE TO PARKING, BEACH, and POOL!

Please note: The beaches are open, but please practice social distancing! We want to let everyone know our cleaning company is taking all necessary steps to ensure your stay is safe and enjoyable. All surfaces are treated with disinfectant before your arrival, so don't worry and come back to the beach! The local businesses are open and want you to come!

Our 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit is on the first floor of a low density complex. The beach view is grand from our balcony… right in front of you as you walk onto the balcony! Feels like you can reach out and touch the sand!!

This complex is one of Gulf Shores’ most popular rental complexes, with affordable rates, convenience of walking to restaurants/shopping and DIRECT gulf -front condos.

The living room has floor to ceiling sliding glass doors showing a stunning view of the sugar sand beach and sparkling blue waves. From the balcony you will enjoy watching the activities on the beach, the red sunset or taking a nap listening to the methodical rolling of waves against the shore.

The master bedroom has a queen size bed and a private bath. There is a flat screen TV with cable. The TV is wall mounted, which makes easy viewing from bed.

The second bedroom has a beautiful view of the beach through the double windows! It also has a queen size bed and a flat screen TV with cable.

The living room has a large flat screen smart TV with cable. There is also a queen sleeper sofa.

The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could want, the dining area has seating for four.

The sparkling pool is located on the north side of the complex, which keeps sand and debris from blowing into it constantly. It has plenty of seating for laying out in the sun or watching the kids swim.

The Island Shores complex is a low density, family oriented facility with only 59 units in a building with 6 floors. It is located in the heart of Gulf Shores, with shopping, Alabama State Fishing Pier, restaurants, fresh seafood markets and much more all within walking distance of the unit. Sea and Suds is a wonderful restaurant on the beach within a stone’s throw of our complex.

No smoking in the unit or on the balcony and no pets inside the unit or on the property at Island Shores!

There is a drink vending machine, a coin/card operated laundry and of course an elevator and luggage carts for your convenience.

The Complex is within a short drive of several grocery stores (including a Wal -Mart Supercenter), pharmacies, package stores, movie rentals, spas, deep sea fishing charters, movie theaters, golf courses, water parks, mini golf, the Tanger Outlet Mall in Foley, Gulf Shores State Park, the Alabama Birding Trail and Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge.

History buffs can ride out to Fort Morgan State Park, built in 1834 and heavily used during the civil war. For those that want to visit her sister fort across Mobile Bay, Fort Gaines, they can take the interesting ride on the car ferry over to Dauphin Island! Makes a great day trip!

For those that have never experienced the night life on the beach, you are in for a wonderful time. There are many night clubs in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. The Pink Pony and The Hangout are a half mile from our condo. Live Bait is a popular spot in Orange Beach. All have live music most of the time. One of the best places to experience the Gulf Coast nightlife and meet people ages 18 to 80 is the world famous roadhouse, the Florabama Lounge. Located right on the Alabama/Florida line, the Florabama has beach access, great food and some of the best live music around, but don’t take the kids past 6 pm… unless they are at least 18 years old!

Island Shores is only an hour away from Mobile Alabama, 30 minutes from Pensacola Florida, and 10 minutes from Foley, Alabama. Located directly on the beach at 421 East Beach Blvd, ½ half mile east of where 59 ends at the public beach in Gulf Shores. From I-10, take highway 59 to Gulf Shores and take a left on East Beach Blvd, then go ½ mile and Island Shores is on the right. From the Foley Beach Express, after going through the toll bridge keep going straight until you dead end into Canal Road, then take a right and follow it to 59 and take another left, then when 59 dead ends at the beach take another left and go ½ mile and Island Shores is on your left.

We have a total of 7 condos available in the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area. Six are at island Shores. Check out our 5th floor unit at Island Shores at VRBO #555510. Our 4th floor unit at Island Shores is VRBO #601060. We also have two 2nd floor units at Island Shores that are right beside each other VRBO #555508 (254) and VRBO #2184207 (253). Our 3rd floor unit at Island Shores is VRBO #3190368. We also have a 3 bedroom unit at the Phoenix X (right beside the Florabama). It is VRBO #3204231.

Great stay
We stayed for a week. The condo was very clean and quiet. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need for cooking. Plenty of towels in the bathroom. There was a glitch with VRBO during the booking process. Judy did a great job of helping to straighten things out.

Storybook view
Really enjoyed our stay. The view was magnificent at our beach level place. Got to see all the wildlife (Sammy, the Seaside beach mouse) in the sea oats as well as the monarchs. Condo does need updating, especially couch, chair and microwave. All of it worked, tho. We will definitely stay there again. Hosts were so responsive!
