About this property
Waterfront on Bon Secour minutes from Gulf Shores Beach Scenic Watercolor Sunset
Coastal Soul is a completely renovated condo on the Bon Secour River in the gated Galley community with a private community pool located in Foley and only 6 miles from Gulf Shores Beach, you truly get the best of both worlds the Alabama Coast has to offer. Aquila Seafood Market (home of the Royal Red Shrimp) is located a few miles away in Bon Secour. Go get your fresh catch right off the boat for your shrimp boil. Whether its the events in Foley, such as the Gulf Coast Balloon Festival, Tournaments at the Foley Event Center or The Foley Sportsplex or the OWA Amusement Park you are close to all the action! You can visit the brand new Tropic Falls Waterpark next to OWA or spend the day shopping at the Tanger Outlet Mall ! If it’s a day at the beach you want, it’s a short drive to Gulf Shores Beach, Fort Morgan Beach or Orange Beach or maybe a fun visit to the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo. Gulf Coast State Park Pier is a short drive Check out all of the concerts and events at The Wharf Amphitheater in Orange Beach. There are 10 + golf courses within a few miles drive or you can spend a lazy day on the river in a kayak , fishing off your deck or watching the wildlife such as dolphins, pelicans, manatee and blue heron and much more. This rental is quickly becoming a favorite for photographers to get beautiful wildlife shots. Our favorite part of the condo is relaxing on the outdoor bed swing or in front of the TV on the spacious sectional. A relaxing meal at The Galley on the River onsite restaurant is convenient and so tasty. This condo has so much to offer including flat screen smart tv's inside and out. A grill for cooking out and a fully equipped kitchen for a family. Sleeps 5 or more comfortably. There are two covered parking spaces in the carport under the condo as well as a Tesla Charger. For security purposes only, there are two Poyasilon Solar Security cameras on the property. One is located under the carport and shows a range of the driveway, carport, and side dock areas. The second camera is located at the top of the stairs and is aimed at the door but has a range of the stairs over to the pool area and persons who enter or exit the door.

About the host
Hosted by Susan Markel
Scott and Michelle Markel are from Ohio. We have family members in The Galley also so we enjoy spending time with them. Going to the beach and seeing the sights.
Why they chose this property
We chose The Galley because of the serene quiet nature area. It is also centrally located to anything and everything Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Foley, Fairhope and surrounding areas have to offer. There’s something for everyone.
What makes this property unique
The wildlife and fishing. Being right on the Bon Secour River. The gorgeous sunsets. Our unit is attached to the community pool so it’s just down the steps and your in the pool. The unit was recently renovated and everything is brand new.
