The Sand Castle in Gulf Shores

Please don't hesitate to call my cell phone for the fastest response
to your questions. I am often at the beach and don't get to check
my email several times daily.   

This home is located on Little Lagoon. It is less than a block from
the beach. It is about 8 blocks from where Highway 59 intersects
with Beach Boulevard. Please note the last photo in this ad. The
circle indicates where the house is located on the lagoon and its
proximity to the beach. It is a very short walk. Also, the photo
is pre-Ivan so the old "Beach House" condominiums are gone. This is
an open beach area at the present time.
The large dining and living area comfortably accommodates a large
group. The house is raised so cars are covered and kept cool at all
times. A hammock under the house provides a breezy shaded area for
parents to supervise kids at play. Personally, my favorite place
for morning coffee is in this hammock, watching the herons and
jumping fish in the lagoon. The grill and dining table here make it
easy to enjoy a cookout as well.
This is a no-smoking home. As for pets, please speak to owner
before bringing your pet. If an unauthorized pet is detected, the
security deposit will be forfeited.

This house will sleep 8 adults comfortably. Children who don't mind
sleeping on the loveseat or the chair/ottoman can increase available
sleeping arrangments. The living area is large enough to
accommodate a couple sleeping bags as well.
The house has all the usual amenities including washer/dryer,
disposal, and dishwasher. Cable TV with VCR/DVD.
The bedrooms are one king, one queen, and two twins. In addition,
there is a queen sleeper sofa in the living room.

Google Gulf Shores for an endless list of things to do for kids of
all ages. From this property it is about a half block walk to the
beach and the Lagoon is at your back door. Within walking distance
you'll find Bahama Bob's which is great place to eat outside next to
the Gulf. Pier 33 Groceries is just across the street, and you can
get all of your beach needs here. The amusement parks, souvenir
stores, seafood markets, drug stores and Walmart are less than two
miles from the Sand Castle.
