Sonny Side sits right on the Gulf of Mexico with nothing but big, open views of water and sky — exactly what a beach getaway should be. This home features a private, gulf-front pool where you can relax by the water and still feel like you're on the beach, even when you're not on the sand. More than just a beach house, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath home is set up for comfort and good times. You’ve got a roomy living area, modern furnishings, and an easy, breezy coastal vibe throughout. Two of the bedrooms open directly onto the gulf-side deck — step outside and soak in that salty air whenever you feel like it. Every bedroom has its own wall-mounted TV, and the living room features a big flat screen for movie nights or lazy afternoons. The home sits on the Gulf— more privacy, fewer people, and a beach that feels like it is all yours. These spots are hard to come by and they don’t stay available long. And of course, like all of our Alabama Stays Vacation Rentals, you'll have linens and towels ready to go, Wi-Fi, and a fully stocked kitchen (minus the groceries). We also include a starter set of paper goods and trash bags — just plan to bring a few extras for the rest of your stay. Sonny Side is everything a beach house should be: laid-back, comfortable, and right where you want to be.

What a view!
The property location was amazing! It was perfect for our family and you can't beat the privacy of the beach steps from the deck! My kids loved the warm pool, ocean and sand! We had mold on our shower curtains and it was replaced within a couple hours. The deck has seen a lot of wear. I was informed it will be getting repaired in the fall. With that fix, we will definitely come back to Sonny Side!
