About this property

Beach House - 6 BR - Pool

The Wavewatch is a beautiful beachfront house just 1 mile west of the main intersection in Gulf Shores. Upper and lower decks are attached to the living quarters. An additional large deck surrounding a 16 x 30 pool gives plenty of room for sunbathing and relaxing. The pool liner and deck were replaced in February 2026 along with seasonal interior upgrades in progress March 2026. The house is directly on the beach with spectacular ocean views. It is one of the premier properties on West Beach.

The Wavewatch is a duplex with each self-contained unit designated by 'West' and 'East'. (Rental information for Wavewatch East can be found at VRBO listing # 1061992.) Each unit contains 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on 3 floors.
The top floor contains the master suite and two additional bedrooms. The master features a king-sized bed, walk-in closet, en-suite bath, and a private deck overlooking the beach and the pool. The 2nd bedroom had a queen sized bed, while the 3rd smaller bedroom is furnished with a regular sized bed. The hallway provides access to all bedrooms, the 2nd bath, and the laundry area

The main floor features a beautiful open concept living area. The entertainment area contains a large tv, couches and a recliner. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, an enclosed pantry and a large island with seating. Plenty of pots, pans and cooking utensils are furnished. There are both a Keurig and standard coffee pots. The dining area contains a dining table with seating for 8. Also on this level are the 4th and 5th bedrooms. One has a king-sized bed and the other a queen bed. A newly remodeled bathroom (the 3rd one) is in the hallway on this floor. Sliding glass doors open from the entertainment area onto a large deck, with dining table for 6, overlooking the pool and the beach. Plenty of lounge chairs surround the pool

The lower level has an entry foyer, a large closet and the 6th bedroom. In that bedroom are a set of bunk beds and a twin bed. There is covered parking for 2 cars and additional off-road parking for 2 more cars.

The house comfortably accommodates groups of all ages and is appointed throughout with all of the comforts of home in an up-to-date style. This section of beach truly affords privacy but is only minutes away from the attractions and entertainments of Gulf Shores.

The beach view was great. Proximity to the beach was great. There is not a boardwalk. It is a duplex not the entire house. That was misleading. Needs some updating. Two of the bedrooms bedding had to be washed when we got there. It smelled. The pool deck was not clean. There was what looked like wads of hair on the deck. The chairs around the kitchen table are uncomfortable. Pots and pans need to be updated. Second floor bathroom sink did not drain well.

Thanks, Jill! so happy you enjoyed our home. That covered deck and the view are my favorite parts of the home. For a cook, that double kitchen is the best when cooking for a crowd. Charlotte

This beach house was perfect for our big family vacation. The location is excellent being on the quieter West Beach side of Gulf Shores and having the Waves store nearby was super convenient for all our beach needs. We had 10 adults and 3 children on our vacation and we all loved being right on the beach and having the pool for the grandkids was a plus. The kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of pots & pans to cook our big family meals, there was ample room for sitting at the dining table & the bar stools provided extra seating at the kitchen island. The bedrooms were nicely done and the bathrooms/showers were found to be clean. The master bedroom balcony overlooking the ocean was my favorite spot to “Wave Watch” and our grown kids enjoyed the outdoor table area to hang out after dinner & watch the children swim in the pool. When booking this home originally, I noticed the VRBO headline states ENTIRE HOME however, this is a DUPLEX setting and that is mentioned in the property’s description. I contacted the owner about the discrepancy and she was quick to respond to clear up the VRBO listing confusion. We took it in stride and the grandkids enjoyed meeting new friends with the family’s children who were vacationing nextdoor. The communication with the owner was exceptional and she was kind enough to meet our special needs as well. The only surprise was how fast our week at the beach went by! So, we certainly look forward to being able to vacation at “Wave Watch West” again.

Beach 2024

This was a wonderful experience for our family! We loved having direct access to the beach, along with the private pool (which was shared with our neighbors). The house was very clean and supplied with everything we needed. The property is close to many restaurant options, as well as shopping not too far away. We hope to stay in this home again in the future.

Amazing property on the beach. Couldn't ask for a better location.

This house is for families, we had a large family and had plenty of room. The pool was perfect for our 2 year old and teens. The owner is fabulous too. My only criticism would be less wine glasses and more kid friendly cups. Would live to come back !!!

Overall it’s okay, but would not stay here again. House is older which we knew upon booking. We did not have hot water for 2.5 of our 4 night stay. Bill was responsive to our hot water issue, but had to have maintenance out to the property 3 different times before it was fixed. I attempted to discuss discount for this major inconvenience, but this was never followed up on or received. Overall it seemed clean. The newer showers were nice. Sheets smelled like mildew and had some stains- had to washed them night we arrived. Pool liner was ripped in multiple places. Porch had multiple raised place causing minor injuries to our children. No poolside umbrellas or shade. Broken poolside chairs. Porch/beach walkway grown up with brush and sand spurs.

Our family had a nice week on property with a few bumps along the way. The home had plenty of space for everyone. We were a little disappointed with a few things. Most of it was to be expected renting a duplex with tenants on the other half of the house. When we first arrived the family and several children on the other side of the duplex pretty much took over the pool and this continued throughout our stay. Including one of the children pooping in the pool on day one. So needless to say we weren't ever able to enjoy the pool. Also the tenants on the other side had way more vehicles than the 4 allowed and kept parking in our designated parking spaces. At one point there were 6-8 vehicles and way more than 13 occupants. So I am hoping in the future for a bit better occupancy and vehicle management from the homeowner so everyone can fairly enjoy their stay. We did have one issue with the house itself. We never really had enough hot water for more than 2 showers and on our last 2 days had no hot water at all. I am confident that had we brought this up to the homeowner this would have been resolved but we didn't want to bother with scheduling service during our stay. Not sure if the hot water heater is shared with the other half of the house. If so that would explain why we had no hot water. We enjoyed our stay and definitely enjoyed the location of the home. The home could use a bit of updating but over all is a good property.

Great beachfront property!

The location cannot be beat; right on the beach and wonderful pool. The layout is nice for family, so the kids can sleep away from the living room. Well stocked with pool floats and toys. The kids loved it! The property could use some upgrades (changing bed in one of the upstairs rooms, carpet in master) but overall wonderful property and would stay again!!

Nice duplex on beach worked well for our family .

The duplex location was great and grandkids loved pool and adults were able to enjoy beach view while kids in pool. We had a great time and worried a little about privacy of sharing pool with family in other unit but was not a problem. Only concern we had since we had young children was location of bunk bed bedroom was right by exit door so we ended up not using to sleep in but would be great for older kids, or maybe we were just over cautious. Overall great place and great locaton!
