A huge great room on the main floor gives everyone plenty of space to gather and share meals. The kitchen is stocked with 3 full-size refrigerators, 2 dishwashers, 2 ranges, and a long breakfast bar, with a large commercial ice machine just off to the side. Drip and Keurig coffee makers and every other essential for preparing breakfast, lunch, and dinner make it easy to cook for the whole group. Entertainment is close at hand, too, with a game room featuring billiards, a shuffleboard table, and a video game table, 3 full-size arcade games in the entry hall downstairs, and a theatre room with comfortable seating for film nights. 3 bedrooms sit just off the theatre room: a handicap accessible King bedroom with a private bath and roll-in shower, a second King bedroom with a private bath, and a bunkroom with a Full-over-Full bunk and a private bathroom. 2 half baths round out the floor, one off the kitchen and one poolside.
8 bedrooms, all with private baths, fill most of the top floor. 2 beachfront King bedrooms open directly onto the porch and share an adjoining sitting area. Of the remaining bedrooms, 3 are King suites and 1 has a pair of Queen beds. The final 2 bedrooms each combine a Queen bed with a Full-over-Full bunk and a Twin-over-Twin bunk, along with a private bathroom featuring double vanities and a water closet. 2 laundry closets add everyday convenience to this level.
Outside,a porch looks out over the expansive poolside deck, which has room for dining, lounging, and play, with a table and bar for al fresco meals, a private heatable pool, and chairs and loungers for soaking up the sun and breeze. On the ground floor, a charcoal grill and additional seating areas make cookouts and beachside barbecues easy. Just across the dune walkover, a stretch of private beach delivers all the seaside fun you could want, and an outdoor shower and the poolside half bath make rinsing off salt and sand a breeze.

We took our high school baseball team and our house was perfect for all our needs! Everyone was so easy to work with through the booking experience as well!
The home was absolutely perfect! We were a total of five families (17 kids and 10 adults). We never we never felt crowded or like we were one on top of the other. The theater room and game room were a huge hit with the kids allowing the opportunity for the adults to have adult time in one of the living rooms. We have already talked about coming back next year. Highly recommend this to any big group looking for a place for kids and adults.
Our staff team enjoyed our stay during a local conference. Some of the rooms were a bit small, but it's a lovely house and we would stay again if we're ever back in the area.
We stayed at this property last year and again this year. Your updates to some of the furnishings and bedding did not go unnoticed and were welcomed. This is a very nice property.

The house easily accommodated our group of 20! Plenty of game and fun space along with lots of space for solitude to enjoy the view!
Beautiful beach house, nice pool, could improve cleanliness, lots of remotes missing, upstairs air conditioning did not work for several days but did bring portable air conditioners that worked ok & gave partial refund, great location, lots of rooms but they’re small

We chose Resting Beach Place to celebrate my Dad's 90th birthday - It was perfect! - The beach, game room, theatre, and heated pool provided something for everyone - The kitchen was well equipped too - 3 refrigerators, commercial ice machine, 2 dishwashers - etc - One of our criteria was having an elevator - Was great for me elderly parents and was nice to have for bringing up supplies and luggage - Highly recommend!
Lol- This is not your average review! This is a great location but we had major issues during our stay. Due to how they handled our complaints, they will forever have our business because they went above and beyond to make it right. Even though those issues occurred, our family will continue to book with Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals!

Our family of 14, including my elderly parents and our youngest 2 month old granddaughter, spent a wonderful week at this beautiful Gulf Shores home. Our youngest son proposed to his girlfriend on the beach right out front of the house. The house was clean and had beautiful furnishings, very comfortable and plenty of rooms! Our grandsons loved the video game tables and all of us adults played a very lively game we call “Jungle” on the pool table each night. The kitchen had everything we needed for making meals....plenty of dishes and two dishwashers. We loved everything about this house and would love to come back!
The was the best vacation ever! The house is absolutely beautiful and we had a gorgeous time. The house is spacious and has everything in it. It’s right on the beach and close to many restaurants. We had a wonderful time.
Everything about this place was fantastic!! The weather was chilly and extra windy but that didn't matter with the heated pool. We had such a great view of the beach and ocean. We were fortunate to have 4 generations under one roof and it really was a perfect trip.

Reviewer Comments:
We really appreciated all of the free activities that this reservation came with! The home was clean and tidy when we arrived. We appreciated the ice machine and three refrigerators! We appreciated that maintenance came daily to check the pool and make minor repairs. The company handling our stay was very responsive and quick to replenish supplies that were near empty when we arrived; we have never rented from this service and had already bought more supplies by the time the new ones arrived. Understanding what comes with the reservation (restocked supplies or at least fully stocked supplies) may have been helpful, but we also may not have seen it in the description. A Rumba and/or properly functioning vacuum would be nice for main level up keep during the week; the vacuum that was there did not pick up dirt (there was no brook or mop), might have been accidentally left out because it didn't really work and did not have any hoses.We would have appreciated a large trash can by the pool area and 2 bath towels per guest, as only one washer and one dryer worked. I think the cleaning service should have checked all TV/remotes to make sure they were working and refilled hand soap, etc. prior to our arrival. We had a big day planned on Tuesday and woke up to no hot water and no gas to cook; this of course changed our day and added additional stress & expenses that were not expected (33 people out to eat instead of planned breakfast at the house, rescheduling plans, etc.). All in all it was a great stay and I highly recommend this company and place! Hopefully someone will reach out to discuss the propane issue and compensate us for the inconvenience!

Everything is great about this house. Very nice and clean. Every bedroom has their own bathroom. Large kitchen, three refrigerators, double ovens, ice maker and plenty of seating. Stocked with pots & pans, plates, cups & glasses and silverware. We really enjoyed the game room with arcade games, pool table and shuffle board. Our favorite was the movie room. We watched movies every night and it was great on the rainy days. So many great things about this house I can’t list them all. Already planning on booking for next year.
