Newly renovated, bright & chic Home with private deck, grill & near the beach

Gulf Shores Serenity

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Spend a memorable vacation in this newly renovated and furnished two-bedroom, two-bathroom single-family home just a few steps to the beach. The recent renovation includes a brand-new kitchen, flooring, and furnishings throughout. Feels like a chic brand-new home in an established, yet private, beach neighborhood. The house is third row and a short walk to the beach and is on a very quiet and private side street. You can park in the private beach access parking for one car. You will have access to Cabana Beach’s private white sand beach that will give you plenty of room to stretch out and relax.

Vaulted ceilings in the living room and numerous windows throughout the home brighten the rooms and create a sense of space that guests will appreciate. The living room and both bedrooms are equipped with flatscreen TVs and wireless internet is available throughout the home. From sunbathing to grilling, the private deck is sure to offer plenty of enjoyment for your stay. Guests will also have the added advantage of the home's great location for serving as a home base for exploring Gulf Shores. The first bedroom has a large closet, a comfortable bed (with a new memory foam mattress), a private balcony, and a private bath with a jetted tub. The second bedroom has another comfortable bed, two full-size beds, and a private balcony. The home has a large front porch, a large washer and dryer, and brand-new high-end appliances.

The house is just two miles east of the Kiva Dunes Public Golf Course and seven and a half miles west of the Peninsula Golf and Racquet Club. Spend a day exploring the historic Fort Morgan State Historic Site and museum, just 10 miles away, and on the way home, grab a delicious seafood meal at Tacky Jacks or Sassy Bass Amazin' Grill. The heart of Gulf Shores, including a ton of bars and restaurants, the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, and Pirate's Island Adventure Golf, is only 14 miles east. There is a great local small grocery/liquor store and gas station at the entrance to the neighborhood less than a mile away.

This was our second time staying in this house. It worked well for our family. The only issue we had was that the Beach Parking Pass was expired and we were not provided with a current one during our stay. Fortunately, the community member who verified we were staying on the property was very understanding and allowed us to park even though the pass was expired.

Great place close to the beach

This home was nicely tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the everyday goers, but within walking distance to the beach. Updated appliances and accommodating furnishings. Definitely worth a return trip.

Safe, clean, and private location

We had a great trip. Short drive to the beach. We loved being able to travel with our large breed dog. The house is stocked with all the things you need to enjoy your stay.

Hangout Fest. Weekend

The selling factor for this home for us was the golf kart, which we found out upon arrival was “out of commission”. The overall house was great but needed some major TLC on multiple things that do effect your future stay if you wish to book, AND we killed 2 giant cockroaches inside the home as soon as we got there. So beware on that, fingers crossed we didn’t bring any creepy crawlers home with us. It was interesting to say the least.

Its indicated top rate for cleanliness but definitely not!

Unfortunately, I spent the first day cleaning the home as the dust was overwhelming bad! The jet tub had mold along the grouting, hard water stains and rust in both showers. They did update the livingroom and kitchen areas but the bedrooms and bathrooms need work. I booked this home for the beach and the large jet tub but could not relax with the yuck around me so i didnt even try. Strangely, there we hornets that kept showing up in the master bath tub - until i put the plug in the drain so im thinking there was a nest down the drain but im not sure. Unfortunately, we will not be back bc of the lack of cleaning and the fact that they didnt make right by the situation. They said they would but i never got a call back, just a few texts apologizing for the lack of cleanliness. I was told i would get a phone call to in order to make the situation right but never did. If you have allergies to dust - i do not recommend staying here. Also, we were there for three days and they left us ONE garbage bag! They do not have the little extra things so make sure you bring what you need, as the property probably wont have it. Felt more like a hotel was running it than any of the other properties we have stayed at. We are pretty disappointed with this company and the home.

Overall, the stay was very pleasant and the house was comfortable. The location was great, and communication with the host was easy and efficient. It will definitely be one of our options on our next trip to the region. A few minor details that could use some improvement include the small dining table, which was difficult to clean (I recommend bringing a tablecloth), and the outdoor area, which needs more attention. The backyard was not as well trimmed as in the pictures, and we could not make some downstairs lights work.

Nice home close to the beach

The home was beautifully updated on the inside, and the kitchen had most everything you would need. TV’s were nice with all streaming services available. Location was close enough to easily walk to the beach. Outside could use some love and care and maybe some more comfortable patio furniture. We enjoyed our trip and would rent this home again!

I really wish I could give this home more stars. The location is great. Easy walk to the beach. The home was clean(ish): crumbs and sand on rugs, spots on sofa, pillows and blankets, rims of bathroom sinks. The furniture through out the home is all around very uncomfortable: sofa, dining set (meant for outdoors- a bistro table does not allow four people to eat comfortably). Highly recommend you bring your own pillows and bedding. The ones provided are cheap quality and uncomfortable. Check-out instructions asked you to strip the beds, upon doing so there were spots of blood on pillows used all week. The shower in the master is terrible: the shower head desperately needs replacing and the tub is dangerous to enter and exit. Huge balcony, but only two cheap plastic chairs. Outdoor space needs major updating. We enjoy sitting outside, but the yard was so overgrown, causing mosquitoes to be an issue.

A little disappointing but overall a good experience.

This little house has so much going for it despite the issues we had at check in. The proximity to the beach is great and the privacy that the lot offers is hard to find in this area. We got a great deal for the week on this property so I won’t complain too much. As long as the property is cleaned well when you arrive and your expectations are in line for a 20 year old home you won’t be disappointed.

Cute, quiet, close to beach

Cute, and very quiet home in a more private neighborhood away from the busy. Would definitely stay again! The walk to the beach was less than 5 minutes and it was nice not staying near all the nightlife with children. Pet friendly option was amazing because I didn't have a dog sitter. Very clean!

Great property--especially for birders--needs touch up

The only thing keeping this property from being 5-Star is a day or two of a handyman's time and a couple hundred dollars. Great location. Superb for birding. But we stayed here last year and it's declining through neglect. Needs a pressure washer in places (master balcony especially) and some minor fixes that are detracting from its overall quality. I'm happy to pay this price point, but it shouldn't have these minor issues. Sad to see. Hopefully it will get the spruce up it needs. If you are looking for a house where you can passively bird, there's no better spot and it's conveniently located to Fort Morgan and other hotspots.

Amazing vacation

We loved everything about the house. The closeness to beach, dog friendly and secluded from the hustle and bustle of town but still just a short drive away. The house was clean, bed was comfortable and adequately stocked with dishes and utensils. We will be back.

Nice Beach Getaway

Overall, the house was very nice with a great kitchen and living area. The king bed was very comfortable and the private decks off the back of the house are a nice touch. This property is managed by Vacasa, not the individual owner. So I never talked to a human when interacting with this property. The soaps in the bathroom and the scratchy hotel towels made it feel like a hotel company was managing the house. It lacked some small details that would have made this property an amazing stay. It was close to the beach, and the beach is a private beach area, but it comes with “HOA” style beach rules. It took about 5 or 6 minutes to walk to and was beautiful.

Good location but needs updating.

This could be a great home but the furniture is badly mismatched and outdated. Seating is limited and uncomfortable in the living room. The kitchen table is small and very unstable and there is no table or suitable chairs on the front deck. Overall it was clean and well stocked with pots, pans etc. I would consider coming back but would look for a house with a more comfortable interior and a deck that you could dine on.

Disappointed

Overall, I will not stay here again, and the jury is out on whether I’d stay at a Vacasa property again. 1. The house is described as being newly renovated, but the bathrooms haven’t seen an update in recent years. This wouldn’t be so much of an issue if the current state had been well-maintained, but that’s not the case. The showerheads are terrible in both bathrooms, there’s no drain plug in the sink of the hallway bathroom. The shower curtain in the master bath was literally hanging by three hooks. Bugs are coming in around the window of the tub. The toilet seat in the master bath is so old that it looks nasty. The tiles look nasty (based on the cleanliness of the rest of the house, they may actually be nasty, but it’s difficult to determine if it’s just because they’re old). I honestly felt like I was in a gas station bathroom while at this home. 2. The overall cleanliness was lacking. Many of the dishes had dried food left on them. Cups had been stacked and put up while wet, so they were slimy. Kitchen drawers had “crusties” all in them. Rugs dirty. 3. The YARD. I rented this house specifically because it was pet-friendly, but when the grass in the yard is taller than my dogs (and they’re not little), where am I supposed to take them to potty? I had to walk to grassy areas in OTHER yards that were actually maintained. So disappointed.

Great Family Trip

We had a wonderful stay at this beach house. We were walking distance (but drove. few times when there was parking available) from a private beach entrance where we watched the fireworks show from the beach club up close. Home was clean and exactly as expected. It was perfect!

Overall Good

Start with good : Nice location, close to the beach (5 min walk), property clean, kitchen properly staffed, everything functional in the house, a bunch of streaming services available on TV. Negatives: The fuze for downstairs power outlets needs to be replaced, no power under the house. Golf cart is in non-functioning state, one of the battery cables corroded and detached from the batery (under the seat). No key to golf cart was available.This was not communicated to us prior to arrival. Moreover, when I reached out to Vacasa Alabama office- they were completly unaware of the situation.

House is convenient to the beach but golf cart was not working and we were not notified prior to our arrival. Kitchen had everything we needed. House needs some updating but was overall a good stay.
