What our previous Guests say:

"This place was excellent. It has a very high end feel with 3 balconies and well stocked with everything you could possibly need to enjoy the area. The host was great. It is a short 2 minute walk to the beach as well as restaurant, seafood market, and general store. You will not be disappointed here. Needless to say that none of us wanted to leave." - Ken

"We had a great say over the holidays in Gulf Shores! Kristi’s home was beautiful and spacious. We loved each having a suite and bathroom for adults and all of the kids stayed in the bunk room (with a separate bathroom). It was amazing!

We will have to come back!" - Amanda

Upstairs are two king primary bedrooms, each with a full en-suite bath. One king bedroom contains a set of twin bunk beds. The third bedroom has two sets of twin bunk beds, with its private bathroom as well. The full sized clothes washer and dryer are on this level.

We offer 2 SUPs, beach chairs, rolling cooler, beach toys, and an outside shower for easy clean-up. We love this beach home, and you will too!

The heated pool is right across the cobblestone driveway. The benefit of a small community is that only four other houses share this pool.
