About this property

Beachfront! Near Town! Views! Heated Pool! 5Bd/3Bth #8

You will absolutely love staying at Blue Parrot #8, which is right on the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Blue Parrot #8 appeared on the TV show "Island Life" (Season 4 Episode 9). This beautiful spacious gulf front 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home sleeps 14 and is complete with everything you need to have a perfect beach vacation. The shared beach front swimming pool with comfortable lounge chairs is perfect for relaxing and playing (pool heater gas charge is $60/day extra). The two beautiful large decks provide uninterrupted breathtaking Gulf views of the sparkling waters and serene sugar white sand. The first level of the home offers a spacious and fully equipped kitchen. The lovely dining table seats ten and a cozy breakfast bar seats four to five. The large and open living area provides spectacular Gulf front views. (From the pool view, the unit is the left side of the duplex.)

[The exterior was painted from yellow to light blue. The video still needs to be updated.]

The main level of the home features 2 bedrooms, a full bath, a kitchen, a dining area and a living room. The first bedroom on the main level has a king size bed and the second bedroom on the main level is just off of the kitchen area and has two single beds. The 2 bedrooms on the main floor share a bathroom that is accessible from the hallway. The second level of the home features 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king size bed, a private bath and a private gulf front deck. The middle bedroom has 2 bunk beds and the north bedroom has a king size bed and they share a full size bathroom between these two rooms. The layout and design of Blue Parrot #8 are perfect for comfort, privacy and entertaining. Located in the heart of Gulf Shores, only 1.8 miles from Highway 59, Blue Parrot #8 is a perfect beach house with all of the comforts and luxuries of home.

For technology lovers, the home has internet download speeds up to 1 GB and all 6 televisions are HD TVs each with YouTube TV provided and access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc.

The unit comes with bed linens (pillow cases, sheets and blankets) and bathroom linens (bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths, and bath mats). Beach towels are not provided. One roll of toilet paper is provided per bathroom. Wash cloths, dish towels, a roll of paper towels, a packet of dish washing detergent and a small bottle of dish washing liquid are provided for the kitchen.

The unit also has a very large ground level storage room we call the "Toy Closet" (see picture). It is stocked with beach chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, beach toys and pool toys for use by guests. This gives you more space in your vehicle during travel since you do not have to bring these items with you. You can also use this room to store your own things so you don't have to carry them inside the living space.

The AC does not have a min/max block so you can cool the unit to your desired temperature.

We look forward to hearing from you so we can help you have the greatest beach vacation ever!

Seattle WA & Missouri trip to Alabama
Three families: 6 adults, 5 children included grandparents, son & daughter's families ranging in age from 2 to 11. Wonderful time. Plenty of pots/pans/dishes & utensils. Enough room for everyone, very well laid out. What you see is what you get - very nice! Owners gave heads-up on one lighting issue and it was addressed immediately. They are Great communicators. A week before our arrival they sent email with links to local activities - reinforced our planned activities and allowed us to reserve one activity in advance. Overall a great experience. I would go there again in a heartbeat.

Blissful Beach Home
I would rent this again. We had one minor issue and Alex sent the handyman to fix it within a few hours. The property is welll maintained. The kitchen is the best stocked rental kitchen I have ever had. The view is amazing. There are tons of pool toys. They let you crank down the AC unlike some owners that lock you on on high heat.

The location of the property was great! The property overall was great. The owner was great when an issue arose with our shared pool. The amount of kitchen supplies was outstanding! The grill was put to good use. The bedrooms were nice. My family really enjoyed our vacation.
