About this property
No more waiting for an elevator to use the bathroom!
Castaways 4A is a Gulf front condo with stunning water views, over 1,200 square feet of living space, and a rare poolside restroom amenity that sets this building apart. While many nearby condos average around 900 square feet, this unit offers noticeably more room to spread out and stay comfortably. Accommodating up to 8 guests across 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, it is well suited for families and groups who want both space and convenience. Located near the main intersection in Gulf Shores, you can easily walk to restaurants, shops, and local attractions.
Spacious Layout – Over 1,200 Sq. Ft.
The difference in size is immediately noticeable. With more than 1,200 square feet, the layout allows for wider common areas, better bedroom separation, and space to gather without feeling cramped. For guests accustomed to smaller beach condos, the additional square footage makes everyday living, from morning coffee to evening downtime, far more comfortable.
The living area offers generous seating and a TV, creating a natural gathering space after a day outdoors. Just beyond, the balcony provides panoramic Gulf views and a steady coastal breeze. The dining table seats 6 with an additional 3 seats at the peninsula, and the fully equipped kitchen includes a standard coffee maker, Keurig, toaster, blender, and in unit washer and dryer.
A standout feature of this property is the building’s dedicated poolside restroom. Most condominiums in the area require guests to return to their units, often waiting on elevators and remembering entry codes, just to use the bathroom. At Castaways, the restroom is located directly at the pool area, making long pool days easier for families, children, and larger groups.
The saltwater community pool is seasonally heated, offering added comfort during cooler months. Guests can also enjoy the outdoor grill area and direct beach access. The combination of a seasonally heated saltwater pool and an on site pool restroom allows you to spend more uninterrupted time by the water.
With elevator access to your spacious 4th-floor unit, Castaways 4A stands out for its larger floor plan, practical amenities, and thoughtful features that make a real difference during your stay.
Sleeping Arrangements: Bedroom 1: King bed, TV, balcony access, private bath with a combination tub, vanity, and walk-in shower. Bedroom 2: King bed, TV. Bedroom 3: 2 Twin single beds, TV. Sofa in the living room pulls out to a queen bed.

Reviewer Comments:
Unit was an excellent shape. A few things missing but we could live with that. Plenty of room to spread out. The rental company did a great job, especially when we were having trouble with the keypad on our end. Would definitely rent with them again.
Great stay, spacious, everything we needed for cooking, laundry, bedding, etc.. Only issue was elevator was off and on in service but given the busy weekend it was to be expected. Convenient to everything central in GC and parking was easy!

Castaways is located in the heart of Gulf Shores and perfect for walking to restaurants and attractions. Please reach out when you are ready for your next Gulf Coast getaway!
Great location. You can walk to parasail, several restaurants, shopping, the hangout.. there's so many options. Parking lot is small, but it works. The pool is nice, not huge but you can sit in the water in a shaded area or you can be out in the sun - which is a good deal for our family. We had a great time, no issues at all.
