My wife and I came here for our “baby moon” and we LOVED it. Had easy access to everything, if you want to rent chairs you can! Easy parking, a cute place to eat and get ice cream right around the corner! Sadly we were only able to stay for 2 nights but it was so worth it! Had great communication with the host!

We had such a great time! The condo was perfect and the owner, Jen, was terrific. It had everything that we needed and we were very comfortable. Location is perfect as well. A clean, happy place to stay. And…if you appreciate good water pressure in your shower this condo has it! This was a five star place for us.

Wonderful stay, great view on the balcony, so relaxing to sit out on it with our morning coffee and eat breakfast , steps from the beach and it was not crowded this time of year . The unit was comfortable and stocked with anything we needed. The bed was comfortable, and the water pressure was outstanding in the shower! Would recommend and would stay here again!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are the parents of two daughters who are now college graduates. We enjoy sports and entertainment and love the beach area. We have been coming to Gulf Shores for the past 11 years.

Why they chose this property

After staying at different spots along the Gulf Coast, we keep coming back to Seacrest along West Beach. We made the decision to purchase our own 'slice of paradise' 8 years ago and would love for you to consider our rental for your next beach vacation.

What makes this property unique

Seacrest is a low-density building along a quite coastal road. The laid back personality of this end of the beach makes relaxing easy and takes the 'stress' out of vacationing. Yet, this building is located just minutes from shopping, dining and entertainment!
