About this property

THE BEACH IS OPEN ALL YEAR! Start Planning Your Fall and Winter Vacation Today!

Beautiful views of the Gulf of Mexico from our 12th Floor Balcony.

Welcome to SOPHUN Vacation Rental! We purchased this property in 2021, and have renovated it and continue to update it, which means you will enjoy a wonderful space with all new appliances, furniture, etc. and exquisite views of the beach and the tranquil gorgeous water!!!

SOPHUN is the perfect family beach vacation getaway to the spectacular and relaxing GULF SHORES, ALABAMA where LIVING and PLAYING meet effortlessly. The views are breathtaking from our comfortable and inviting Penthouse Condo.

Once you arrive, it will only take a few minutes before you are playing on the beach and splashing in the surf. Enjoy gorgeous soft white sandy beaches on the Gulf of Mexico and easy walks to close restaurants, bars, supermarkets, and shops.

Walk through the door of SOPHUN and immediately take note of the beautiful space. Our kitchen is fully equipped and there is a full size washer/dryer housed in a separate laundry room. The gulf side master bedroom/bathroom has a king size bed, large screen wall mounted TV, with all the comforts to make the space homey, with access to the large balcony overlooking the Gulf of Mexico with breathtaking views. The guest bedroom has a 2 single beds with access to a second bathroom. For extra guests, we offer a sleeper sofa in the living room. There is a dining room space and the living room is well appointed with a large flat screen wall mounted TV with a sound bar. The living room has large sliding glass doors with access to the large balcony. We are certain you will love SOPHUN!!!

The unit has free wi-if. Guests can park in the parking area or the covered garage. As a courtesy, we purchased and provide the parking passes free to our guests. Between each visit, the unit is fully sanitized with a deep clean specialist service that we use to ensure maximum safety to our guests. No smoking in the unit or on the balcony please.

The condominium complex is amazing with an indoor and outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna/steam rooms, fitness/aerobic room, library, and a picnic grill area. There is direct access to the beach which is only steps away from the unit.

There are several eateries within walking distance including The Hangout and Pink Pony Pub. Waterparks, mini-golf/arcades as well as golf courses are just minutes away. Gulf Shores is truly a vacationers paradise! We are excited for you to stay at our property. It is our goal to make your vacation stay comfortable, convenient and most importantly FUN!

Short stay for fun in the sun

We picked the place for the convenience and location close to the beach for a few days of sun at the beach to relax and get some sun away from crowds. We got everything we wanted. Our hosts were amazing in that they were prompt in answering any questions that we had, which were not many. The place was great and lived up to every expectation.

Wonderful getaway!

I have stayed at many properties in Gulf Shores over the years. This is one of the best! The communication with property owner was fantastic! The condo itself was nicely stocked, welcoming & very clean! Security was helpful & friendly, pool & hot tubs were clean & nice. The view from our balcony was beautiful & we had easy access to the beach. We will be back to stay in this unit for sure!

Anniversary trip

Everything about Sophun was wonderful! The decor is so cute, it is very clean, and you can't beat the views from the 12th floor balcony! Meryl was the perfect hostess and always immediately responded to any questions we had. It was the perfect place for a long weekend to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Would also be perfect for a family with 2 younger children. Highly recommend!

This is the second time we've stayed at this beach property and just like the first. Easy to locate, great instructions, covered parking, right on the beach, and the place is very comfortable. Also, the views from the patio can't get any better. We will be back!

PERFECT VACAY!

The condo is nice, roomy, and exactly as described except BETTER in person!! Meryl truly cares about your experience at Gulf Shores being the best. The ocean is literally steps away and the parking space is very close to the elevator. The overall location was easy to find and get to restaurants or stores. The building was clean and well kept. We will book again in the future!!

About the host

Hosted by Ty and Meryl

Host profile image
We love the beach and the Gulf Shores is a beautiful place to visit. Soft white sands and gorgeous waters surround! Meryl has done a great job redesigning the space and picking all the furnishings, appliances, etc. She is a ballerina and an interior designer/Feng shui consultant. I am an employment lawyer. We are very excited about SOPHUN living!

Why they chose this property

When you stay there, the answer will be apparent!!! Wait till you see the beautiful Gulf of Mexico from the balcony and hear the waves in our newly renovated Penthouse 2 bedroom 2 bath condo.

What makes this property unique

Brand new appliances, furnishings, etc.
