AT THE BEACH! Beautiful 3 Bedroom and 3 Bath

If you like beach life, you will love Seashell Sanctuary. This property has it all. You name it, from a gorgeous, wide, white sand beach and beautiful water of the gulf to pools galore! It has basketball, tennis, horseshoes and shuffleboard. Hot tubs and a workout room and did I mention the beach? From the moment that you turn onto the property and drive down the beautifully landscaped, winding entry road, you will know that you have found something special. Families that discover the Plantation return year after year. It is far enough from the congested condo section, of Gulf Shores, to benefit from much less crowded beaches, yet a nice beautiful drive into town will land you at some of the best restaurants, night life, and family entertainment around including water parks, go carts and miniature golf. Seashell Sanctuary features three bedrooms and three baths on each side of the house. There are granite counter tops in the kitchen, and baths along with premium mirrors which have added a touch of class to the beach. The furniture is cleaned on a regular basis and replaced when it begins to show wear. Bring the whole family and share the expense. Seashell Sanctuary will sleep 18 people if both sides are rented. The "Abalone" side (VRBO.com/608340) will sleep 8 and the "Blue Whelk" side (VRBO.com/608341) will sleep 10. Black-out curtains gives privacy and comfort to the guest using the high quality, double pump, inflatable mattresses in the living room. The three baths really come in handy for this as well. One of the baths is located on the main level along with the living room, kitchen, and one of the king bedrooms. The other two baths are located upstairs along with the other two bedrooms. The master has an ensuite bath. Seashell Sanctuary is in a constant state of renovation and we are continuously making improvements. Some of the latest improvements are: Wood ceilings in the master bedroom, master bathroom and the kitchen. Secured, high speed internet, improved cable TV, new washing machine and dryer, new dishwasher, multiple smart TVs. In 2021 we added a new porch swing and new refrigerator to the “Blue Whelk” side and the “Abalone” side got a new refrigerator in 2023. Both sides received new outdoor furniture in 2023. All of the TVs are flat screens. The living room now has a 55 inch, the master has a 48 inch and the other bedrooms have 40” TVs so that you don't have to miss the big game while you are at the beach. Outdoor furniture, on the over-sized deck, will allow you to sit in comfort while enjoying your breakfast in the morning, coffee in the afternoon, and wine in the evening, all while listening to the music of the waves crashing against the sandy shore and watching the children swimming in one of the beautiful, tropically landscaped pools.

Host was wonderful to communicate with. The place is located so close to the beach abd pool access which was fantastic.Previous tenants and/or cleaners did a poor job cleaning dishes and cooking utensils and pots. We had to clean about everything that came out of a drawer or cabinet. This is no reflection on the owner or the place. We would stay there again if we return to an AL beach.

Great experience at Seashell

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Seashell home and look forward to a return visit. The home is beautifully decorated, has well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, and very comfortable beds. The beach is only steps away! We cooked most of our meals at the house and sincerely appreciated the well stocked kitchen and grilling area. I would definitely recommend this beautiful property.

This is the perfect location to enjoy the beach without all the chaos and traffic. The house was decorated so well and felt perfect for our group of 10. We loved all the beach toys and chairs available in the closet - we had everything we needed and more. So nice to not have to worry about it buying sand toys for the kids or chairs for us. We highly recommend grilling out too. The grill was fantastic and all the chairs, picnic table, and the swing was a perfect hang out location. There is a nice breeze in the afternoon that would come in so we could eat, relax and hang out together while grilling. The beds were comfortable and we had more than enough sheets, blankets, pillows, and towels for everyone. The host was very quick to respond - and so kind! We had couple requests come up during our stay and everything was taken care of. We also really enjoyed having the pool and other accommodations available. Oh, and bonus to have a basket of k-cups ready for us in the morning for coffee too! We did make a Walmart run before our stay to have all the snacks and food we needed - that was helpful to avoid any extra trips. We got to just enjoy the trip and relax. Thank you again for having us! Oh, and don't forget to check out those Alabama sunsets on the beach while you are there. So stunning!

Amenities were great for all age kids, close to the beach ,pools, hot tub. Bikes for use as well as beach supplies in a shared storage area. Being a duplex it had a lot of privacy and great views of the beach and resort. Highly recommend!

From the time we arrived the property stood out among the others because of the colors & beautiful umbrellas on the front deck! I Was equally impressed with the inside coordinated colors and the attention to details - a beautiful beachy feel! A big ➕️ was all the extras some owners just don't provide for the guests & we greatly appreciated the little things! We WILL definitely recommend to friends & family & return again to stay at Seashell Sanctuary! Thank you Daryl & Karla!

Great holiday stay

This is a great property! Had everything we needed, views of the beach from the deck and short walk to get there! Pools and hot tub right across from the house, indoor pool and hot tub a short jaunt to the other end of the resort property. The owners were great to communicate with and really have thought a lot about what people might need while there. There is a closet under the house that has tons of beach chairs, toys, floats etc to use. A charcoal grill to use as well. We ate at the Sassy Bass marketplace down the road towards ft morgan. Dinner was sooo good, lunch there was just ok. All in all, another great trip to Gulf Shores and a perfect holiday vacation.
