About this property

Beach Front 501! The perfect spot for your beach getaway!

The Beach Front is a quiet, quaint low density condominium complex.

Unit #501 offers an excellent value with indirect Gulf views from the bedroom windows. It's in the building closest to the beach which means it is only a few steps to the Gulf. Open your windows at night and sleep to the sound of waves crashing.

Flat panel TV in the living area

Each bedroom features a flat panel LED TV.

There is NO pool at the beachfront, but the beach is your backyard! The large gazebo overlooking the Gulf provides the perfect shady spot for surf watching and enjoying sea breezes.

Amazing Family Vaca Condo

We had an incredible time! Condo has a great location, wonderful views and just a short walk down to the beach!! It was the best price around for a condo right in the beach so I wasn't expecting it to be as perfect as it actually was! Very clean, lots of beach toys and boogie boards! We will definitely book again!

The condo is perfectly located! The beach was active but not crazy busy because we were located away from the high density buildings. Short drive to do anything we wanted to do. The couch in the living room seems to be showing its age. You sink into it as if the springs are giving up. There were a few cleaning issues, the kind you don’t have to do all the time, like dust the bathroom walls above the light and wash the windows. But overall the condo was well appointed and very comfortable.The beds were some of the most comfortable I’ve slept on at a rental. I don’t usually sleep well away from home but here I slept like a baby. Felt very rested at the end of our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful spot right off the beach

This was our 3rd year in a row to visit this area of Gulf Shores. This condo was clean, comfortable and just steps away from the beach. It's just across the street from a restaurant, ice cream shop, seafood market and convenience store. The host responded quickly to any questions we had. We enjoyed our stay here and we'd come back.

Excellent for a family of 4

This is a great place to stay for a family of 4. Perfect location right on the beach. Short drive to hub of Gulf Shores, yet several places within walking distance to eat. Condo is well cared for. The washer/dryer combo was replaced during our stay and the new one works great. Plenty of seating. Will definitely rebook for our next Gulf Shores vacation
