Back to THIS beach home -

Welcome to Sunflower in the City, your vintage, pet-friendly oasis in the heart of Gulf Shores! Located just ONE short block from the pristine white sands, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom raised beach home is the perfect coastal retreat for families, friends, and your furry companions.

​Why You’ll Love It Here:
​Unbeatable Location: Leave the car in the driveway! We are a quick walk to the beach, The Hangout, and fantastic local dining like The Catch seafood restaurant.

​Pet-Friendly Paradise: We know pets are family. Your dogs will love the enclosed balcony and our private, fenced dog run downstairs. (Up to 2 dogs welcome!)

​Outdoor Living: Enjoy your morning coffee on the sunny balcony, or head downstairs to the covered lounge area to grill out and relax with the provided beach gear—even if it rains, your beach parade won't be rained out!

​Comfort & Convenience: Fully stocked galley kitchen, smart TVs, keyless entry for seamless check-in, and an in-unit washer/dryer for your beach towels.
​
Here's a little more perspective:

This is the cutest little Sunflower in the City! Our vintage two bedroom, two bath raised beach home is ONE SHORT block away from the white sand heavenly beach of Gulf Shores. And before you reach the beach, like if you need to rest after 50 steps for a libation, there's a festive restaurant called The Catch with excellent cocktails and delicious seafood. Walk another block along the beach, and reach the legendary Hangout, and a few more steps gets you front row, on-the-beach seating at the world-famous Pink Pony!

Another of our favorite things is our fur babies! Don't leave home without them! Sure, it takes a bit more to clean the place so there is a pet fee, but aren't they worth it? And they will thank you when you see how happy they are on the enclosed wraparound balcony. They won't miss a thing! One favor please: if you leave the doors open - because the beach breeze is SO AMAZING, please turn off the AC. You can always turn it on again when you're in for the night!

Okay, what else? You'll also enjoy two large bedrooms with ultra comfy beds and light- blocking drapes. And we ordered the fastest internet speed for your entertainment needs. There are three tvs with Roku devices to that end as well. Downstairs, there is a grill, a few beach fun items, and a large backyard in addition to a small, enclosed dog run. There may still beach spurs (sticklers) that our lawn crew is working to eliminate - FYI.

And the must haves - two bathrooms, a galley kitchen, and keyless entry locks. Can this decision be any easier? If you love beach life at the right price, you've found it.

Welcome!

This was the perfect spot for a family with a dog. The owners were GREAT and even dropped off some NYE party favors that the kids loved! I would definitely recommend.

Get away from the hustle and busle

We had a wonderful stay and completely enjoyed ourselves. We can’t say enough about the owners and the helpful tips and information they provided for us. From driving tips to dog beach location and restaurant's to visit. We will be booking here again in the near future and also again next year.

Summer Vacay

Property was exactly as pictures showed. It is an older property, but it’s well kept. The living space is not huge, but both bedrooms are spacious. The bed in the master bedroom was super comfortable. It has like a 4 inch foam mattress topper on it. And I loved all the available drawer space. One of the things I look for when searching for a rental is if there are dressers in the bedrooms. I seriously hate living out of a suitcase on vacation, but that wasn’t the case with this property. We were really excited about the dog run off the back steps, but after getting stickers in his paws the first few times he went down, our Yorkie wouldn’t even go down the steps. We found some really nice grass right by the stop sign a super short walk away. The house is in a great location. It takes maybe a 5 minute walk to reach the sand. The street/light you cross at takes you right to the public access. The only suggestions I might offer - need some blinds in the smaller window of the master bedroom, maybe put a deadbolt on the outside door that leads to the 2nd bedroom (was a little worried about only having a door knob lock with my kids sleeping in the room), and although the hose was nice to wash off the sand, a private outdoor area to rinse off would be nice. Thanks for the wonderful vacation.

Wonderful stay

The house was an awesome location. We had a wonderful stay. The doggie run was very convenient. It was the first time we had tried to take our pets. It was perfect. They enjoyed being out on the deck, We would recommend this to anyone.
