What a wonderful beach house!! The furnishings are very comfortable, clean, and updated. Each of the 4 of us (ages 75, 40, 6, and 1) found favorite spots in the living room where we could pursue our own activities with space and coziness. The kitchen had everything we needed. The deck that surrounds the house gave us multiple beautiful views of the water, the dunes, flowers, and even a fireworks display from the neighboring resort. All the amenities with impressive privacy. Looking forward to returning!!

We loved this place. The view was beautiful, both of the ocean and the dunes, and it was so convenient being close to the beach. Very serene even during spring break. Everything was very clean and all went smoothly. We especially appreciated the responsiveness and helpfulness of the owners. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Mike & Donna Mall

Host profile image
We have enjoyed the house since 1984. Our 2 children, recently graduated from college and were born and raised going to the beach and still love it today.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I have seen beaches all over the world and Gulf Shores is still one of our favorite places. We love the Cabana Beach development on Fort Morgan Peninsula. It's away from the main part of Gulf Shores, but a short drive to all the main attractions.
Very peaceful and secluded from the crowds.

What makes this property unique

The house has great views of the water inside and out. The house is in a private subdivision with a private beach.
