About this property

Townhouse on the Beach! Not a High Rise! Quiet family Complex! Great Location!

Hi, my name is Michael Moranz and I have a proven rental record. I have been renting on VRBO since 2003. I take pride in providing an excellent vacation at a great value. We have unit 39 on VRBO as well. It is at: www.vrbo.com/819705. Units were updated February 2023


Unit 35. This is a Great, two-story townhouse condominiums on the beach! No one above you or below you. The only 'TRUE LOW-DENSITY COMPLEX' on the Gulf! Only 40 units and 250 feet of beach front! No high rise next to you on either side. No obstructed views. Great Family Complex! No elevators to wait on! No long flights of stairs! Ocean view from EVERY room! Two balconies with metal barstool chairs. Private garage (two cars) under unit. No long walk from parking lot. The private garage is wonderful for use as a barbecue and grilling patio. Grill steaks from a newer Weber grill while watching the waves break just feet away.

Every side is gulf side. Located at 723 West Beach Blvd. (182) 1/2 mile from US 59 (the 'T'). o, two story, no one above or below you... this spells PRIVACY! Something you do not have in a high rise! Two large bedrooms and two large bathrooms on the second floor with a private deck off the master. Kitchen, dining room, 1/2 bath and a deck off the living room on the first floor. Has washer and drier in the unit. Walk out of your door into your private garage, then onto the beach 20 feet away. 1200 square feet of living space!

These townhouses feel like a private home on the beach with a pool. THIS PLACE IS LIKE HAVING YOUR OWN HOUSE ON THE BEACH... WITH THE POOL!!! Watch the kids play from your balcony. Enjoy drinks and dinner on your private balcony. Enjoy the use of wireless internet, even on the balconies. Hotel quality linens and towels, all new! Brand New Air conditioner. Ice cold! No cheap plastic deck chairs.

Ocean and beach views shown on these two pages were taken from balconies or windows in both units.

Great grass field in the middle of complex to play ball with the kids.

Alabama's finest beach town has been a hidden secret for families to gather for many years, where you can experience all types of entertainment, unique shopping and delicious dining. It's award winning, sugar-white sand beaches are where friends come to enjoy the clear blue water along with all the water activities that go with it.

Affordable family complex

Small complex of townhouses on beach with nice pool, family oriented atmosphere that is quiet but close to everything. A little dated but you’re not in the townhouse that much. It does have a flight of steps up to 1st floor & 2nd floor, not a bad thing-just be prepared. Grounds are well maintained. Wouldn’t recommend sleeper sofa so bring an air mattress if you need more than 2 bedrooms. Overall I would rent again.

Can’t wait to go back

We typically stay in a high rise condo but wanted to try something different. We have found our new place!! You are so close to the beach it’s not a job to haul all your stuff out. Also if kids get hot or hungry it’s so easy to run to the pool or room. Excellent communication with the owner and fantastic small community where you’ll make friends!

Gulf Shores Vacation

The location was perfect. You could see the ocean from every room in the house. We loved having privacy and our own parking garage. The pool was great too and the kids enjoyed being able to throw a football around in the grassy area. The house is a little dated, but that didn’t bother us. Michael was very efficient. There was an issue with the keys getting lost in the mail and he responded immediately and sent new ones. It was nice not having to deal with checking in and out because the keys came right to our house.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Moranz

Host profile image
I have lived in St. Louis Missouri all of my life. My Mom is from Mobile. We have been vacationing in Gulf Shores since I was a child. We rented homes before condos were even built. We have stayed in many high rises but never liked the crowds. We fell in love with the Townhouses. It is fun renting the townhouses. I enjoy meeting new renters. I take pride in providing a great vacation for all my renters. Here is a photo of me walking on the beach with my family. Of course, I am on the phone with a customer. My wife and I have been married since 1994, have 3 children and 3 grandchildren.
Thanks
