CHANGE YOUR CURRENT SITUATION — PRIVATE WEST BEACH HOUSE WITH BEACH, POOL, LAGOON & PRIVATE PIER

Why choose between the beach, pool, fishing, and the water when you can have it all?

Welcome to Current Situation, a spacious, multilevel private vacation home in the sought-after West Beach area of Gulf Shores, Alabama. This unique family-friendly beach house gives you easy access to the Gulf of Mexico, a private beach, community pool, lagoon, private fishing pier, and incredible panoramic water views—all in one vacation.

Whether you’re planning a family beach vacation, a group getaway, a fishing trip, or simply want to relax and enjoy everything Gulf Shores has to offer, this home gives you the space, privacy, and location to make it happen.

PRIVATE BEACH • PRIVATE HOME • PRIVATE PARKING

This is a true single-family vacation home—not a condo. You have the entire home, private driveway, and private parking area with no shared living space at the property.

The home is located along West Beach Boulevard, just steps from beach access via the boardwalk. The beach in front of this small community is limited-access, meaning you won’t experience the crowds found at many public Gulf Shores beaches—even during the busy summer season.

You can enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the water, spend the afternoon on the beach, cool off in the pool, fish from the private pier, and return home to your own spacious retreat.

FOUR WAYS TO ENJOY THE WATER

BEACH: Just steps from the home with convenient boardwalk access.

POOL: Enjoy the private pool shared only by the small six-home complex.

LAGOON & PRIVATE PIER: The private pier is perfect for fishing, swimming, relaxing, or enjoying the lagoon. A kayak is provided for your family’s water adventures.

PANORAMIC VIEWS: Multiple decks and the incredible third-floor lookout bedroom provide breathtaking views of the Gulf and lagoon.

SPACIOUS 4-BEDROOM BEACH HOUSE

This large 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom multilevel home comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests and can accommodate up to 10 guests when children are included.

There is also a ground-level garage-style foyer where you can easily bring in coolers, beach gear, luggage, toys, and other vacation supplies.

An elevator is available from the ground level to help make access easier for guests with mobility needs or anyone who simply doesn’t want to carry luggage and beach gear up the stairs.

CLOSE TO EVERYTHING GULF SHORES HAS TO OFFER

While the home feels peaceful and secluded, you’re still close to the action.

The Hangout and the heart of Gulf Shores are approximately 3 miles away, putting you close to restaurants, shopping, entertainment, nightlife, family attractions, and everything that makes Gulf Shores one of Alabama’s favorite beach destinations.

Enjoy the best of both worlds: a quieter private beach retreat when you want to relax and easy access to the attractions when you’re ready to explore.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR A BEACH VACATION

The kitchen was well-supplied. Very clean. Washer, dryer, elevator were all in good order. The owner was very pleasant and responsive. The location was great. Relaxing decks. Comfortable beds. Loved the outdoor shower. We had a great time. As anything close to the ocean does, the exterior of the house is beginning to show some wear. Salt air beats everything up...it's part of the ambiance.

This was a great place to stay. We really enjoyed our stay at this quiet retreat. The host always responded when I messaged her and it was pet friendly (we also used our kennels when we were out to ensure no "accidents"). Very close walk to the beach. We had to cross the road to get to beach access, but it is not a "busy" highway. There are obvious wear and tears to the house (which is to be expected if you rent out to others- also the cleaning crew could step up their efforts as we had to clean up stuff that should have been done by them the day we checked-in) but nothing that would inhibit a stay. We had a lot of space for our crew of 9. We truly enjoyed the stay and would 100% stay there again.
