About this property

Family Friendly Home in walking district, 5 minutes from beach

SPECIAL SNOWBIRD SHORT TERM LEASES AVAILABLE. Relax with the whole group at this peaceful home in central Gulf Shores. You’ll be in the quiet, older neighborhood in town that’s in the soon to be made entertainment district. A few blocks from Meyer Park where there are basketball courts and soccer/football intramural sports during the week, and a ten minute walk from Big Beach Brewery and a few restaurants and a cool coffee shop. 7 minute drive to the nearest public beach access and The Hangout.

Spaces:

Master bedroom has its own bath and closet. Guest bedroom one on the corner has a queen bed and closet. Guest room three has the same. There’s a full bathroom across the hall from bedroom three.

The living space and kitchen are open. Kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and there’s a large farmhouse dinner table for the whole group. If you’re interested, a private chef can come cook you and your group a dinner while you kick back and relax. Service and friendly chatting come with the price! Message privately for availability and pricing.

I live in the detached tiny house on the adjacent property. For comfort and preference of most guests, I only interact with guests if they seek me out or have any questions or concerns about your house or the Gulf Coast in general. I’m happy to chat if you come knock on my door.

Animals are allowed depending on breed. 30$/night. Please consult me.

If you’re interested in bicycles or kayaks, just inquire! Depending on the week, I may have some available and an air pump for the bike tires. You’ll be responsible for getting the kayaks where you want to take them but I can direct you to some great launch sites. Loads of water to access only a few minutes away.

If you’re interested in renting long term in the winter months (snowbirds or otherwise) please contact me about discounted rates.

Neighborhood:

This is the old neighborhood of Gulf Shores where front porches face the streets and everyone walks and bikes around. It’s a quiet area away from the rush of HWY 59 and the beach road traffic. There’s an easy access road through the state park to get to the beaches that doesn’t require you getting into the heavy traffic and condo areas of that part of town. Just ask me!

There’s a great park in the neighborhood and amenities within walking distance. Let me know any questions about what’s close or check my guide book. Seven minute drive to the beach and less than that to the Gulf State Park.

Loads of bike trails in the state park and around town. You could spend a whole day exploring Gulf Shores by bike and stop at any number of places for a bite to eat or a beverage.

Public boat launch less than 5 minutes away and there’s room for a boat to be parked in the driveway.

A short getaway by Gulf State Park
We had a wonderful stay in Gulf Shores at Will’s peaceful home. It was clean, welcoming, well decorated, easy in & out, we felt safe, and well rested in this sweet home near the trails of Gulf State Park. We appreciated being able to bring our dog along and enjoyed walking the neighborhood. Thank you to Will & family for opening your home. We hope to come again sometime.

Rental was good, minor issues
Honestly I'd have rated this place higher if we didn't have some issues at arrival. Overall it is a pretty and comfortable home, with beaches and stores/restaurants nearby. We were notified about the washing machine being broken (by previous renters) before arriving. The host said he would cover the cost for the laundromat, which didn't happen but that wasn't a big deal to us. When we first arrived though, the key was not available in the lockbox per instructions. And the host was not reachable for hours (found out he was on a flight) so we had to reach out to VRBO support team. Then we were eventually advised by VRBO to book a hotel for the night. Well nearly all hotels were booked because of an archery event, and one night stay at Holiday Inn was nearly double the cost of this rental. And it was about 11pm by the time we got settled in to the hotel, we were already exhausted having driven 9 hours from Texas to Alabama. Kids got sick and it made the start of our vacation very unpleasant. The host did process a refund for the first night though. And he checked in with us afterwards to make sure we were checked-in the next day. But as you can imagine my husband was quite upset about having to find and pay $200 extra for a motel in the middle of the night after driving the whole day. I'm sure this won't happen to you though...as it sounded like the host just had a bad case of irresponsible renters prior to us, which had a spiraling domino effect.
