About this property
Casa Playa. 12BR, slp 48. Pool! Gulf Shores. Awesome place/value! (2x6 BR).
Casa Playa, East & West (together)
1252 West Beach Blvd, Gulf Shores
12BR 14BA. Casa Playa, East & West. Gulf Shores, Alabama. Great place, awesome space, nice price!
UPGRADES! New paint, new stuff, so new pictures and virtual tour too!
This listing is for BOTH sides of Casa Playa, the east and west together, with a connecting door on the main level in the Living Rooms. Nice!
Looking for an very nice home to house a large group of people but you'd like to save a few dollars in the deal? This wonderful duplex has 6 bedrooms and 7 baths on each side, so 12 bedrooms when renting through this listing for BOTH sides together.
Want more? How about great internet on a wifi mesh network? An EXTRA fridge for all those shrimp and beach beverages? Easy beach access and a great price point. What's not to love?
This listing is for BOTH SIDES, with 12 bedrooms. One side perfect for your group? Inquire about our Casa Playa, East and Casa Playa, West listings for the individual units. Note, there IS a connecting door between the two sides in the living room areas. Like a connecting hotel room, it can be opened if guests rent both sides.
BEDDING
EACH SIDE has the following:
Main Floor N Bedroom: King
3rd Floor N Bedroom: King
3rd Floor Middle Bedroom: Queen
3rd Floor S Bedroom: King
4th Floor N Bedroom: 2 Queen + Twin Bunk
4th Floor S Bedroom: 2 Queen + Twin Bunk
Main Floor Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa
Main Floor Lounge Area: Queen Sleeper Sofa
ALL bedrooms have en suite bathrooms with combo shower/tubs. The 2nd Floor LR and Bonus QSS use a common bath separate from that level's bedroom.
BEACH ACCESS
Casa Playa is located on the north side of West Beach Boulevard, directly across the street from the beach and you can see the beach! You have beach access at the 12th (3 mins, < .1 mile!) and 13th street public beaches, PLUS a large pool private to just the guests of Casa Playa. We aren't talking about blocks to reach the beach, it's right across the street, .1 miles to the west!
POOL? You bet!
BIG outdoor pool (shared only between the two sides). 30x18x3-5' rectangular bit of bliss!
PARKING
There is available onsite parking for at least 6 cars per side. More if you park under then home and stack carefully. Just share nice with the neighbors!
WIFI/INTERNET
YES! We have an awesome Eero mesh network to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home!? That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like? It is generally solid and ran > 100Mb down the last test--sufficient for several simultaneous video conference sessions for remote work and education. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests "troubleshooting" it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though, and likely better since its close in and new construction!
SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, ETC ETC
As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a "starter supply" of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, grills are not provided, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have drip coffee makers and most now have Keurigs as well.
No smoking please. No pets.
SNOWBIRDS! Up to 2/3rds off for off-season stays of 28 days or longer.
