About the host
Hosted by Theresa van den Bulk
We take great pleasure in vacationing as a family, and we understand the significance of this experience for you as well. Therefore, we are offering condos for rent, allowing you and your family to create lasting memories in this beautiful location, which my family and I have visited for many years. Delight in the family-friendly entertainment, distinctive shopping opportunities, exquisite dining, and particularly the pristine white sand beaches and emerald waters.
Why they chose this property
The 1st time we came to Gulf Shores we just could not believe the WHITE sand and EMERALD GREEN WATER! THIS location LOCATION LOCATION IS THE BEST! You can walk to everything you need. After driving and driving with non stop questions. Mom are we there yet? We get out of the car and don't have to get back in the car to eat or shop. Having perfect climate and family atmosphere attracted us to come back and get a place right on the beach. Our kids just love being able to go on the beach without having to cross any roads or walkways. We can watch them from the balcony. As you see this is perfect set-up!
What makes this property unique
You're right on the beach not across the road. Directly beach front condo. You want to get a drink, freshen up, go shopping and/or dining all in walking distance. This is such a plus if you had a long drive and don't want to get back in the car! Please read the reviews the pictures don't do Justus to this condo.
