The Pearl is a really awesome beachfront duplex vacation home in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Is the Pearl on West Beach a big vacation home!? You know it! Is it fabulous? You bet! Should it be your next favorite place to stay in Gulf Shores? Absolutely! (If you act soon enough to get it... it goes away quickly every year!).
How big? 10 Bedrooms big PER SIDE. Sleeps 28 EACH SIDE!
That's big! In 8 kings and 4 sets of full-single combo bunk beds (a full bed underneath a single!). King beds. Big! And none of that sleeper sofa stuff to make it 28. Its 28 in beds, not pullouts. And, no, there are no sleeper sofas anywhere at The Pearl. Need to sleep more than 28? Take both sides of this huge duplex, and 56 people can stay comfortably, and in style! Or check into our other really big vacation houses, because we surely have the perfect size for you!
Main Floor Bedroom: King with private en suite bath 3rd Floor N Bedroom: King with private en suite bath 3rd Floor N Middle Bedroom: Two Twin over Full Bunks with bath off hall 3rd Floor S Middle Bedroom: King with private en suite bath 3rd Floor S Bedroom: King with private en suite bath 4th Floor N Bedroom: King with private en suite bath 4th Floor N Middle Bedroom: Two Twin over Full Bunks w/ bath accessible from hallway (shared with Middle King) 4th Floor Middle Bedroom: King w/ bath accessible from hallway (shared with N Middle Bunks) 4th Floor S Middle Bedroom: King with private en suite bath 4th Floor S Bedroom: King with private en suite bath

TWO OR MORE OF MOST APPLIANCES PER SIDE! TWO of the essentials on EACH side! BIG. With not one but two refrigerators. And, not one but two dishwashers too! Because when you are big: eat, drink, wash, repeat! It's better with two! Need ice? It's got icemakers, and not just on the two fridges! Clothes, swimsuits, towels? Of course it has a really big washer and dryer! In fact, one set per floor! Seriously.
ELEVATOR! How about accessibility? Elevators! One per side. Hoofing it up three floors can be hard. Why not an elevator?! Yes, the Pearl on West Beach has one of those too! And bathroom tweaks too. The bath on the main level has a floor roll in capable shower, just in case!
POOL? You bet! Of course! Huge pool for the sole use of the duplex. Big. Great place to lounge, or head under the home for a break from the heat, or on one of the many decks! All.. BIG! AND its heatable. Really big. In the vicinity of 14'x35′ big. Wow! Deck? Yup, covered and uncovered. We literally have you covered, when it comes to a deck! And its private to the two sides of our duplex, not shared with anyone else in the area! Heatable too! Added a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82-84' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a nightly surcharge that varies by season and is per night for length of stay (the 12 month range has been $65-85 depending on season) gas is expensive right now, this does not actually recoup the cost!). Simply request the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and any time up to at least a few days before check in so we can get it on before you arrive. See our FAQ about heatable pools too. The pool is beachside, in the sun, with an expansive deck area around it, PLUS a nice shaded and sheltered area to escape the heat, right under the home. Nice!
BEACHFRONT? Absolutely. The Pearl on West Beach, is RIGHT on the beach. Nothing but sand between you, your guests, and the water (well, sand, and the pool!). Parking is no problem either. 3 cars fit under the house on each side.
WIFI/INTERNET YES! We have an awesome Eero mesh network to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home!? That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like? It is generally rock solid and ran > 250Mb down the last test--sufficient for several simultaneous video conference sessions for remote work and education. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests "troubleshooting" it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though, and likely better since its close in and new construction!
SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, ETC ETC As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a "starter supply" of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, grills are not provided, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have drip coffee makers and most now have Keurigs as well.
Come Stay with us at the The Pearl on West Beach at 1037 West Beach Boulevard, Gulf Shores Alabama!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Star stay! Pearl was perfect for us. Lots of space. Lots of fridges. The elevator was helpful, and all the space and seating in the great room/open kitchen area allowed us to all be together. Highly recommend!

🌟 So glad to hear everything was great, Lawrence — sounds like you had a fabulous stay at Pearl's East side unit! We love when guests get to enjoy the amazing beachfront views, private pool, elevator, easy walk straight to the gulf and so much more — it’s what makes this home such a special place to relax and make memories.
Hope we’ll see you back again soon, or maybe next time with a larger group at both sides of The Pearl, hosting up to 56 of your friends and family! 😉
Thanks so much! 🙌

Thanks June! Glad you had a great time! I'll reach out directly to see what we can do to perhaps exceed expectations for your next trip down and get that wayward star back! Since my personal emails sometimes land in junk, if you happen to see this, send me a note! Thanks again!
This was a wonderful place to stay for our extended family. With 18 adults and 3 children then was more than enough room and the facilities were outstanding! Beds were comfortable, the house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked! We would definitely stay again!

Thanks Mechelle! I very much appreciate you taking the time to post such a nice review of your stay in my family's home. We aim to please! Love the warm fuzzies! Reach out if you need anything at all. Thanks so much!
We would absolutely stay at the Pearl East again! It was the perfect house for our family reunion. Plenty of parking for all cars. Directly on the beach with a great pool. Private walkway to the beach. Plenty of seating in the kitchen and dining areas. Rooms were good - spacious enough, linens were a bit thin. AC definitely worked. Overall it was worth the cost!

Everything was great!
We really enjoyed the house and the weather was better than forecasted. Yay. Everything was great!
Such an incredible home! Steps to the beach and so much room to spread out so we could both enjoy our family trip with adult children and grandkids. The home was beautiful and we would absolutely return.
Thanks Charles! I'd love to have you back. Just shoot me a note when ready to return!

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.
Pearl. Wow. Just look at the tour. The pictures. Location! Salt water pool. Nice. Nice. Nice. People get married here, taking both sides (20 bedrooms). People come back year after year. I love this home. Oh, and those cabinets. Great living space. Extras. Ice Makers. And centrally located on the eastern part of West Beach Blvd, about 1.25 miles to Hangout, easy walk to Bahama Bobs and Waves Grocery. Just a great all over place for folks needing room to roam and all the amenities.
Why they chose this property
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. Beach Axis used to be the Summer Winds. We took ownership and completely redid this home with an updated vibe. Check out the red cabinets! Nice location. Style. Look at the deck view. You so want to be there!
What makes this property unique
Huge! 10 or 20 bedrooms. Elevator for those needing assistance! Two refrigerators and dishwashers, more! Yeah, more, more of eveything. Plus. Great, beachfront saltwater pool. One of my favorite pools when we get to stay around Gulf Shores and this happens to be open, which isn't often. Icemakers, wet bars, lounges, lots of bunks and king beds! What more could you ask for you and your large crew!
