Thanks Bill — I’m glad communication worked well and that our house’s location made beach access easy. Hope to host you again next time you’re in Gulf Shores.
Immaculate property. Kids loved the location. A walk across the street for the beach and a few seconds to the pool and fishing off the dock. Will definitely come back to this location!
It was a pleasure staying at this house. Everything was on point as advertised, just couple minutes walk to the beach. We highly recommend it and we will book it again.
Property as advertised and everything was working from keyless entry, Wi-Fi, to all appliances, no issues during stay. Place very clean, area was super convenient to beach and on quieter western part of gulf shores to bike and walk but still easy to drive to restaurants and other attractions. Great host and will consider again next time in area.

So glad you had a great time! Come see us again soon.
We really loved the house. It was just as pictured, even better in person. It is in the middle of the little lagoon and beach. The walk is probably less than 2 minutes to either location. Communication was good and clear with the owner. I really recommend staying at this property!

I appreciate your recommendation! Come see us again soon.
Everything was clean. The kitchen had everything we needed prepare meals. The bed was very comfortable. You're just steps away from the beach. Zach was just a phone call away if we needed anything. We will definitely be going back!
We stayed here for our family vacation this summer and typically we stay in Fort Morgan but decided to stay closer to where everything is. We were concerned at first that the beaches would be too crowded, which is why we typically stay in Fort Morgan but they were not. The walk to the beach was quick too, it is just across the street with direct access. The pool on the bay was a great alternative option to end the afternoons with! The house was super cute. it was comfortable for my family of 4 and plenty of cookware and kitchen necessities. We loved the little townhome community and made friends with others staying around us! It was a great vacation and we will definitely be back!

About the host
Hosted by Zachary Medlin
I'm a dad first, private pilot second, and Longhorn for life. My wife and I are both proud University of Texas grads, lifelong Texas football fans, and firmly believe that fall Saturdays are best spent with BBQ on the grill and the game on TV. Hook ‘em!
We live in Houston with our three kids, love to travel, and know what makes a great stay. Our rentals are designed for comfort, convenience, and a stress-free getaway. We look forward to hosting you—whether you’re here for the beach, the views, or just a break from reality!
Why they chose this property
We chose West Beach because it offers the best of both worlds—just three miles from the action, yet peaceful and uncrowded. Our cottage has deeded beach access to a stunning stretch of sand, a community pool, and a beautiful dock on Little Lagoon for fishing, kayaking, or simply soaking in the views. With room for 8, tons of natural light, and a bright, airy feel, it’s the perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy everything Gulf Shores has to offer. We absolutely love it, and we know you will too!
What makes this property unique
Our beach retreat offers the best of Gulf Shores without the crowds. With deeded beach access just steps away, you get all the perks of a beachfront property without the high-rise chaos. Located in a small, quiet community, you’ll enjoy a peaceful, uncrowded stretch of sand, perfect for relaxing.
Beyond the beach, our home is thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. It sleeps 8 comfortably with two private suites, bunk beds, and a full sofa bed, plus three full bathrooms—a rare find that ensures plenty of space for everyone.
We’ve added new couches, extra seating, and stylish patio furniture on two private balconies, giving you stunning Gulf and lagoon views to enjoy morning coffee or evening cocktails.
For extra fun, guests have access to a community pool, a private dock on Little Lagoon for fishing and kayaking, and an outdoor dining area in the carport for laid-back meals after a day in the sun.
We also provide beach chairs, a beach buggy, and more to make your stay seamless. Plus, we're dog-friendly and welcome pups of all breeds and sizes!
It’s a true hidden gem—close enough to all the action but tucked away in a spot that feels like your own private slice of paradise.
