3rd Floor South Bedroom, King with ensuite bath 3rd Floor Middle Bedroom, Queen, with ensuite bath (shared with North BR) 3rd Floor North Bedroom, King, with ensuite bath (shared with Middle BR)
4th Floor South Bedroom, 2 Queens + Twin over Full Bunk with ensuite bath 4th Floor North Bedroom, 2 Queens + Bunk with ensuite bath
TWO REFRIGERATORS Two? Per side? Yes two. Because you won't want to stay somewhere without an extra fridge once you have had them.
HEATABLE POOL Private to the two sides of the duplex: no sharing with other places nearby. The pool is open all year. It's a big rectangle, 22x16x3-5' Rectangle. Lounge chairs are provided around the pool. Added a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps, and the same temp Disney uses for its pools!) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a nightly surcharge (varies by season and with gas market price, has been $60-85 per night, just inquire, and must be for length of stay (this is based on market pricing for propane gas, and can change at any time, both up and down, until added to a reservation). Fee subject to change due to incredibly high gas rates right now. Simply request the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and at least a week before check in so we can get it on before you arrive.
Heatable pools in beach homes and duplexes are VERY RARE along the gulf. If a place doesn't mention it, it does NOT have one! Grab one with one while they last!
WIFI/INTERNET YES! We have an awesome Eero mesh network to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home!? That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like? It is generally solid and ran > 250Mb down the last test--sufficient for several simultaneous video conference sessions for remote work and education. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests "troubleshooting" it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though!
PARKING There is available onsite, offstreet, parking for at least 6 midsize vehicles (per side), more if you stack well. In duplex units, please be neighborly about this.
SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, GRILLS ETC ETC As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a "starter supply" of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, grills are not provided, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have both drip coffee makers and Keurigs as well.
PETS We do consider well-behaved canine furry friends at many locations. This requires owner pre-approval, and is subject to a pet fee (currently $250 per pet). Approval in a duplex location, especially for peak weeks, generally is only available for guests renting both sides of the duplex. Please inquire.
No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

Very clean
We had a blast during our stay. The house was very clean and just the right size. We had 9 adults and 4 kids and we didn’t use one of the bedrooms. We all loved the walk way to the beach and of course the kids loved the pool (it was a little chili because it is covered). The 2 refrigerators were a plus. The only down side were all the stairs you have to climb.

Witt’s end
Had a wonderful stay with our family, the bedrooms and view were amazing. Right on the beach as well. Well equipped with plates and dishes. My only complaint would be that we paid for the pool to be heated and it was not. It was supposed to be 85 degrees, but we felt it was not. While it did not bother the kids I have a special needs daughter which is why we paid to have it heated. The neighbors were kind and respectful. We would love to come back.

Loved it
The house was just great for us.
Top assets were:
Shaded pool in August and it worked all week,
Very comfortable mattresses,
Six bathrooms!,
SHORT walk to the surf with half of it on that great boardwalk that made wagon runs so much easier,
Two refrigerators,
And finally, you actually had enough silverware, dishes, cookware and appliances for the large capacity of the house (that’s the first time that happened for us in years of vacation rentals).
Re the management company, the contact I had with them was to compliment them on how clean the house was and how smooth check-in went, meaning the door code arrived in time, it worked, and the house was indeed ready. I called them to report a broken shelf rail in the refrigerator. They quickly offered to send someone to fix it but I carry duct tape and that held it for the week. They dropped off some tasty chocolates for the inconvenience, nice touch.
So that's it. All good.

Best Beach house in Gulf Shores
I just can’t say enough about this amazing beach house. We have stayed in Beach Houses for years and this is by far, the best one we’ve ever stayed in. We had a big family vacation that included ages 22 through 81. The house is set up perfectly with clean and comfortable rooms on every floor. The mattresses were soft and comfortable. There was a thermostat on each floor. The convenience of two refrigerators and a washer and dryer was Great. The accessibility of the beach was so amazing due to the wooden walkway and short distance to the ocean. It was never crowded in front of the beach house even in July. It was nice to have a pool on the ground floor near the parking area. The 6 bathrooms were convenient and clean and large enough for our big group. We had a great time relaxing by the ocean, cooking, playing games and watching movies. Our pups loved it too! The owners were easy to communicate with and extremely helpful. This was definitely a 10 out of a 10 experience!

Great Memorial Day trip!!
The property was perfect for our annual trip- 3 families with friends (15 total). The house was a cute classic beach vibe, clean, and we had enough room to park 5 cars and our boat on our side of the duplex. The boardwalk to the beach was AMAZING 👏👏👏 after many summers of having to drive/walk over the hot asphalt to get to beach access this was so convenient!! The hosts were very responsive and even proactive in checking in with us and making sure we had all of the info we needed regarding the city rules, renting chairs, etc. we had a blast and would 10/10 recommend this house ❤️

Perfect beach house!
The house was nice, the boardwalk to the beach was our favorite part. With 2 toddlers it made it super easy to access the beach. Any issues we had were promptly taken care of by property manager (Haleigh), she was sweet and helpful with everything! I will say the photos on VRBO are a bit outdated, and beware there are A LOT of stairs, but other than that no complaints! We plan to book again with Bama Beach Houses for our next trip!

Great Walkway to the Beach
The boardwalk directly from the house over the sand dunes to the beach was a huge highlight. The beautiful view from the house of the beach and being able to see friends/family playing and sitting on the beach was advantageous. Spending time with friends/family was wonderful! & being able to get out of the sun and still enjoy the water with the pool under the house was great.

Awesome family trip
No issues checking in, house was clean, loved the boardwalk it was a life saver for me. Enough room for all 15 of us, adults had their own bedroom, two bedrooms shared a bathroom and the kids had their own rooms on the top floor. Remember if you rent this house you are going to climb stairs - three stories we just put the kids on the third floor. Had two big balconies with great views and beach access. Location was also great . Also, with this house you are renting one side be aware you are going to have neighbors. There are two grills there but very little room to grill.

An awesome but short trip!
We again had a very nice time in Gulf Shores. We love the beach walkover and just being able to get to the beach for a while was so nice. The owner is very accommodating and responsive. Did not need the management company for anything. The house was clean and everything was in good shape when we arrived.. I would suggest checking the trash pullout cabinet in the kitchen—it was hard to open sometimes. Loved the big washer and dryer. A great trip. Too short. Looking forward to a return soon!

House was not clean
This property is in need of updating. The house was not properly cleaned. We ended up doing the cleaning and sanitizing ourselves. We sent several pictures and text messages to the property manager detailing the uncleanliness. Caulking around kitchen sink is black with mold. Carpets in bedrooms are worn and nasty. Coffee Maker, blender, and toaster need to be replaced. Most surfaces, counters, tables, rails, doors were sticky and unclean. Sand on bunk beds. Interior needs a fresh coat of paint. Furniture needs updating.

Beautiful! Spacious!
Beautiful property and timely responses to any incidental needs (burned out lightbulbs and slow tub drainage). Well stocked/supplied for kitchen items, linens, and blankets. Overall the property was clean, but the yard and white doors/trim could have used a good cleaning. We would definitely return to this location over other places we have stayed in Gulf Shores!
