Located right on the sand, this pet-friendly home offers a relaxed setting where most guests spend their days moving easily between the beach, the private plunge pool, and the decks overlooking the water. Outside, enjoy direct beach access and a south-facing deck with unobstructed ocean views, featuring a bar-height counter and stools—an ideal spot for morning coffee at sunrise or winding down in the evening as the sun sets over the water. From the deck, guests can take in the views, hear the waves, keep an eye on activity below, and occasionally spot dolphins swimming in the Gulf. At the pool level, Adirondack chairs provide a comfortable place to relax while watching the kids play in the private plunge pool or listening to the waves roll in. Newly added outdoor family games are provided for some extra outdoor fun! Inside, the home is comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully stocked for family stays. The kitchen includes plenty of dishes, cookware, and essentials for preparing meals, and the dining and living areas offer Gulf views and a large Roku TV for downtime. Bedrooms are arranged to give everyone their own space, making the home a good fit for multigenerational families. The property is one side of a duplex. You have private access to your entire unit, decks, plunge pool, and beach access. There are no shared indoor spaces, and guests consistently note the home feels quiet and private during their stay. While the home offers a peaceful, non-touristy beach experience, it’s still just about 25 minutes from Gulf Shores if you’d like to head into town for shopping, dining, or nightlife.

We had a wonderful stay at The House in Gulf Shores! The home was perfect for our group of 8, which included 5 adults and 3 teenagers ranging in age from 12 to 65. The location was ideal for relaxing and having some much-needed downtime. During our stay, we took a day trip into Gulf Shores and another up to Fairhope, but we spent most of our time enjoying the quiet beach right in front of the house. We also made a quick trip to Fort Morgan Marina and Tacky Jacks, and some in our group ventured out to explore Fort Morgan and Mobile. There was plenty to do nearby while still feeling peaceful and secluded. We really appreciated that beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys were provided. We did bring our own beach towels and a small cooler, which worked well for beach days. My son especially loved fishing right in front of the house. The home does have a lot of stairs, which is something to keep in mind. My husband and I stayed on the top floor and quickly became aware of planning what

This is absolutely a castle on the beach! It is beautiful and well appointed. The view and accommodations can't be beat! The pictures are accurate and everything was very spa-like. It was clean and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The beach was just peaceful, and our puppies just loved it. There are a lot of stairs, but this gives 3 floors with areas for privacy for everyone. We are older, my mom is 80, and we were happy. There were only 3 of us, but it is set up for a large group. The only negative I found was that you can't adjust the tv volume, and my husband is hard of hearing. That does, however, protect the people next door from too much noise, and I enjoyed that calm very much❤️We had an amazing time, and hope to return soon!!

We had wonderful stay! Right on the beach and peaceful! Plenty of room for all of our family that traveled (7adults and 3 children). Ashley was very responsive to our messages and a great host.

The place was great and had plenty of room for my family. Everyone had their own space - kitchen was well stocked with plates pans etc. easy access to beach. It does take some time to get to town for a night out or groceries but it’s worth it.

Very close to the water, clean dipping pool, all the beach supplies are supplied, well stocked kitchen, could not hear neighbors in the unit next door- so that was nice too.
