The Sand Haus: A Minimalist Beach Cottage
This is so much more than cottage! Pristine surroundings and beautiful decor throughout, We felt so relaxed as soon as we walked through the door. I’m a coffee lover and the keurig was a perfect way to start the day, out on the front deck. Gulf Shores is now on my favorite list of beach town because of this place! The host was very responsive and friendly! We would stay here again. Thank you Tiyashi.

NEW Lux House | Private Beach | Sleeps 12 | Arcade
Home was exactly as advertised. The beach was closer than anticipated and easily done with a 1 & 2 year old in tote, it also was private which was extremely nice. Back porch was a great hangout area for small kids. As a parent with small children I appreciated the cabinets having child proof locks on them. Can’t express enough how much we enjoyed Cabana Pearl!

Fort Paradise Suite
Just a 10 minute walk to a private beach, intended for residents and their guests. We specifically chose this airbnb for the value and pet friendly accommodations, walkable to the beach. This checked all the boxes! I have an older dog and we wanted him to be able to see the beach, as a bucket list item. We had a great time! Anna was great at communicating and even going above and beyond by returning a couple of forgotten jackets. Also- check out Jesse’s on the Bay for a delicious meal- we went twice. Great stay! We’d gladly stay here again. Thank you Anna!

Seasong
This is our 2nd year in a row getting to enjoy Seasong and just like last year, it absolutely did not disappoint. There are a few updates that could stand to be had and it would be super helpful if the walkway and area surrounding the bottom half of the house was maintained a little better. The kids and our families always have a great time here. The location, view and privacy of this house is amazing. We are already looking forward to next year!!!!

Water Front & Dog Friendly Beach Retreat
Nancy's place was perfect for our family. We enjoyed our stay.

Bring the Dogs! Steps to Beach. Rustic! Huge Deck!
It was perfect! Very close to the beach as I am 8 months pregnant. The house is super cute and did its job! The outdoor shower was great as well! We really enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the evenings and early mornings! My husband even was able to catch a shark on the beach! Jonathan was more than accommodating! We will definitely be back with our family again soon!

Steps to Beach|Ocean Views|PuttPutt| Dog-Friendly
Absolutely gorgeous beach house, steps from the beach. Less of a walk to the beach than any condo bldg we have ever stayed in. Perfect location, out of the hustle and bustle of downtown. My son loved the putt putt course under the house. Two outdoor showers were a tremendous plus. Gorgeous beach view from inside and outside of the house. Huge deck for family lounging. Perfect neighborhood!! House and Beach are both dog friendly which made our vacation so much less stressful. Roseanne was extremely helpful and checked in to make sure the house was as described!! Definitely saving this one for our next trip to the gulf shores/fort Morgan area!

Bayside Bungalow - Full Bayfront House with Pier
Perfect Fairhope Staycation! We are Fairhope locals, but wanted to stay on the bay for a fun getaway. This cottage is just as described: clean, comfortable, and right on the water. We enjoyed cooking outside on the grill, and having drinks with friends on the covered pier. The house was well-equipped with the bedding and linens being especially comfortable. The house’s location was very quiet, allowing for a few restful evenings. Perfect place for a couple or four adults to enjoy the best of Mobile Bay. Just be aware that you are 15-20 minutes from downtown— what we were looking for, but may not be for everyone!
Beachfront home rentals with a pool

Vitamin Sea Awaits! Updated and directly on beach
Our stay was wonderful! Kim is so responsive and very accommodating. She made it very easy for us to get in touch/ask questions. The place was beautiful and very relaxing!

Cozy Condo on the Beach - Amenities Galore!
We had an amazing stay. So close to the beach and had great pools. Patricia was very responsive and helpful throughout our entire stay. Very quiet area but close enough to the main Gulf Shores area. Would definitely recommend both the host and the rental.

Ocean Dreams*Beachfront*New Reno*4 Bed*3 Bath*View
Stop scrolling and book it! This incredible home on the beach is the most idealistic spot we've ever stayed in. Right on the beach, with every amenity, and detail you could hope for. From beach chairs and umbrellas, to toys and bicycles all included. This home was full of pleasant surprises. The home is immaculate, and perfect for a family vacation. The hosts were the best we've ever had, responsive, friendly, proactive to give recommendations. My family couldn't have asked for more.

Gulf & Peninsula View The Beach Club
Loved the location, the condo is perfect and the resort is wonderful. We had the most wonderful time! Jonathan was super easy to communicate with and responded quickly when we had a question! Highly recommend!

Beachfront! Ocean Views! Lots of Amenities
The location was perfect! It’s about a 20 minute drive to town but so worth it. The beaches here are not as crowded and made for a great trip for us, especially with a 4 years old. The condo was a great size for us (2 adults and one child).

Sunrise Suite ~ Steps from the beach, pools, golf
The kids and I really enjoyed the place. It was our first time staying in Fort Morgan. Not having all the restaurants and stores nearby was different for us but we had a great time with all there was to do in the complex with indoor and outdoor pool, great beach access on the boardwalk, and fun tennis and pickleball courts. The condo seemed like the perfect size and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. TVs were a little tricky for us to figure out and maybe could use a few more soup type spoons but that’s really minor stuff. Still a great time celebrating my birthday which I otherwise was dreading :)

Gulf Shores Condo w/ Ocean Views & Beach Access!
This was a great place to stay for the week. My husband and I enjoyed every day we were there. We liked that it was quiet and less traffic than staying right in town. The condo was everything we needed/wanted and the amenities were amazing! It was close enough to everything we wanted to do. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone!

Bristol 1107-Beachfront-Luxury-Resort-Amenities
This was the perfect place for our 25th Anniversary and family trip. When we arrived in the condo, the first thing we saw was the ocean. The view was so wonderful. You can hear the sound of the waves and watch dolphins swimming! The condo itself is comfortable and everything you need is there. Well stocked kitchen and beach items to use to make the most of your ocean time! The communication from the owner is just great! Gulf Shores, it is some kind of paradise with it slow life rhythm, the great beaches, restaurants, the best shrimp around! This trip went above our expectations!
Private beachfront home rentals

Got it Good Beach Front House!
Wonderful house right on the sand! Sit in the living room while looking at the ocean! Has everything you need including beach accessories. Great for families or friends.

Family-Friendly Layout+Amazing Views+2K,1Q,4T
House was clean, comfortable and provided excellent beach access. The communication with the host was terrific: always responsive, helpful and very accomodating. Highly recommend this rental.

New Home! Short Walk to our Private Beach!
Stacey’s place was a great stay for our week in Fort Morgan. We have a family of 7 with a toddler and she accommodated an early check in for us. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. You must get the golf cart as it was essential for our trip and for hauling things to and from the beach. Overall, it was a fabulous stay.

2 Bedroom- Beach Front -No Streets to Cross
We loved staying at the Blue Sand Dollar for our week in Gulf Shores! The condo was clean, spacious and had great beach gear we really needed! A very underrated perk were the amount of hooks in every room to hang up towels, swimsuits etc! I’m going to be spoiled now for other beach getaways!

Walk to Beach + Pool | 1BR Gulf Shores Retreat
Very comfortable place for 2. We loved the balcony, especially. You can see and hear the ocean. Very peaceful and relaxing. The hosts are very responsive and helpful.

Spacious 3BR Resort Condo Steps from Gulf Beach
The place was nice, clean, and well appointed. Steven was always proactive and VERY responsive.

Tierra Blanca-OceanFront-Resort Access Hot Tub!
My family and I planned a last-minute getaway and were grateful that the entire experience went smoothly. I was able to check in later than usual since we drove five hours to get there, and I was warmly greeted by friendly staff at the gate. Ramon was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. When we arrived at Tierra Balanca, everything was tidy and clean, making us feel right at home. We enjoyed our stay immensely and loved how we could access the pool or beach within minutes. It was a memorable time with my family, and we look forward to returning.

The Sea Shed: Tiny Home, Views, Golf Cart & Beach
We have already started planning our next stay at the Sea Shed! This was the most amazing vacation I have had. Chris & Heather were so friendly and accommodating (I may have gotten pretty sunburned!) even offering me some aloe to help! We HIGHLY recommend booking with them!
