Great central location, within walking distance to a variety of restaurants, The Hangout, Grocery Stores, and many Souvenir Shops.

Family friendly townhome with a nicely landscaped grassy courtyard in the center of the u-shaped complex and large in-ground pool, is hard to find just steps from the beach!

The host was easy to contact and helpful with suggesting some activities. We met Tropical Storm Bertha while we were there so not as many beach days as we would have liked but can’t predict the weather. Nice area and would like to come back.

Thank you for your review. It is unfortunate that you missed out on some beach days because of the tropical storm, but we hope you will get a chance to come back to the area soon.
We very much enjoyed our stay. The beach supplies being provided was important to us, along with the close proximity to the beach. We enjoyed the family friendly atmosphere of the complex and the people we met at the pool. The kitchen had everything we needed. Having a washer/dryer in the unit was a plus!

We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! Thanks for such a nice review.
This was exactly what our family of 4 was looking for. The kitchen is FULLY stocked. All we needed was food. It’s great walking distance to about anything you need or want. The pool was super nice and well maintained. Parking was convenient. The view from our balcony was absolutely stunning. We would stay again.
Perfect, perfect, perfect! Clean condo, well supplied, great beach toys, beautiful pool, right on the ocean, wonderful finishes in the condo! This was perfect for our family and the condos were filled with families so everything was relatively quiet. As much as we loved the pool, the draw of the beach with all of the beach supplies led us there daily. Thank you Spark and team!!!

Thank you for the amazing review! We are glad your family enjoyed our condo on the beach!
We loved our stay at #28! Everything was easy access (i.e. parking, pool, beach) making it great for families with small children. The unit was clean, comfortable and felt like home. We hope to visit again in the future!

Thank you for your review! Happy to hear you and your daughter enjoyed your Thanksgiving stay at our townhome on the beach!
It was our first time at the beach in Fall and it was amazing! The townhouse had everything we needed for the beach and more, including tools for eating crab legs we bought from the market! The location to the beach and pool was perfect for our family of 6! The space in the townhome was also amazing! We will definitely be returning! Thanks so much for sharing your beach home with us!

About the host
Hosted by Spark Meister
Our family has vacationed in Gulf Shores for many years now. We live in central Illinois, and love to vacation on the beach! We've found the white sand beaches in Gulf Shores to be the most beautiful and family friendly of all! We also enjoy all of the fun things to do within walking distance! We have extended family members who also own in the area and we have enjoyed their vacation homes in the past. However, recently, we had the opportunity to purchase this townhome, partnering with our daughter and son-in-law. They have four children and are in the photo above. We enjoy watching our grandchildren play on the beach, swimming and fishing and look forward to many more years of vacationing in Gulf Shores, AL.
Why they chose this property
We really love the beach house feel of a townhome, with no foot traffic above or below. The small complex has a community feel, with the pool and courtyard in the center of a "U" shape. The location is absolutely perfect with the complex being beach side and within walking distance of the Shrimp Festival, The Hangout, and a variety of other restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. We have made many memories in Gulf Shores and are excited to make many more at our new home away from home.
What makes this property unique
It is so nice to be able to watch your kids swim in the pool right from your balcony. In the past, we've stayed in places where the pool was across the street, but our set-up couldn't be more convenient or family friendly, with the pool and courtyard located right in the center of the complex, and the beach only steps away!
