Fire pit

This private 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom first-floor unit is your perfect beach getaway, featuring coastal decor in shades of blue and sandy tones with an open floor plan kitchen.

This unit can also be booked with our 2nd/3rd-floor space to create a combined 6-bedroom, 5-bathroom retreat for larger groups.

This property is a classic, older beach cottage styled with traditional coastal decor. We intentionally keep things simple and low-fuss so you can relax after a day in the sand without worrying about pristine, modern luxury furnishings. While this nostalgic vibe isn't everyone's personal taste, we take great pride in keeping the house spotlessly clean, functional, and fully equipped for a relaxed beach trip.

Coastal Living & Local Wildlife: Staying right on the coast means enjoying the ocean breeze, and living alongside native coastal critters! While we maintain a strict schedule for regular professional pest control and deep cleaning, you may occasionally spot local insects, palmetto bugs, small beach visitors, etc. around and inside of the property. You can help keep the indoors pest-free by keeping doors and balcony screens closed, wiping up food crumbs, and storing open food in sealed containers or the fridge.

The Neighborhood: West Beach Serenity

Our home is located in the heart of West Beach, the most iconic and relaxing stretch of Gulf Shores. This area is uniquely narrow, meaning you are nestled in a "sweet spot" with the sugar-white sands of the Gulf of Mexico just steps to your south and the calm, sunset-rich waters of Little Lagoon just to your north.

Why guests love West Beach: You’re away from the high-rise congestion of the "Main Public Beach," giving you more elbow room on the sand while still having dedicated beach access points just seconds away.

The Best of Both Worlds: Spend your morning paddleboarding or fishing in the glassy waters of Little Lagoon, and your afternoon body-surfing in the Gulf waves.

Walkability & Dining: You are just about 1.5 miles from the "T" (the center of town). You’re close enough for a quick bike ride or a 3-minute drive to The Hangout, Bahama Bob’s, and Pink Pony Pub, but far enough away that the nightly festivals won't keep you awake.

Nature & Pass Park: We are a short distance from Lagoon Pass Park, a local favorite where the lagoon meets the Gulf. It’s a fantastic spot for fishing, watching the boats go through the pass, or letting the kids play in the shallow, calm tidal pools. Whether you're here for a high-energy beach vacation or a quiet retreat watching the herons on the lagoon, West Beach offers the most authentic "Island Life" experience in Gulf Shores.
Beach Access (Walking): You are just down the street from the Gulf Village Condo Access or the West 10th Street Public Access. It features a modern boardwalk, restrooms, and outdoor showers-perfect for a quick trip back to the house for lunch.

Biking: This is a very bike-friendly stretch of West Beach Blvd. Many guests enjoy the 1.5-mile scenic ride down to the "T-Intersection" (the main town center).

***Local Tip: Check out Gulf Shores Bike Rentals or Tiki’s Bikes nearby if you want to explore the 28+ miles of trails in Gulf State Park!
Parking: At the property, we provide dedicated off-street parking space for up to 3 vehicles in the shared parking area. Please note that street parking on Beach Blvd is strictly prohibited and monitored by the city.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft are both active in Gulf Shores. They are a great, affordable option for heading to The Hangout or Flora-Bama if you want to skip the search for public parking.

Exploring the Island: If you're feeling adventurous, the Mobile Bay Ferry (20 mins west) can take you and your car over to Dauphin Island for a unique day trip!
Guests will have complete and private access to the entire first-floor unit, which includes its own private entrance for total privacy. Check-in is simple and secure with a unique personal code for the smart lock.

You will have dedicated off-street parking for up to 3 vehicles in the shared parking area.

Please note that the beach gear station and outdoor shower are shared amenities, potentially used by guests staying on the 2nd/3rd floor if that unit is occupied.

****Shared Property: This listing is for the 1st floor of the building. The 2nd and 3rd floors is a separate rental and may be occupied by other guests. Shared amenities like the fire pit, grill, and beach station are available to all guests on the property.
