5BR 4.5BA Beachfront duplex. GREAT location in resort with SEVEN pools. Beachfront. Lots of resort amenities. Golf. Tennis. More! See below!

This listing is for Gulf & Golf at the Plantation, the EAST Unit.

We own the Gulf & Golf at the Plantation East, Gulf & Golf at the Plantation West, or you can book them together as a 10BR as Gulf & Golf at the Plantation East & West!

PLUS... Lower lodging taxes! Save 7% over a West Beach rental, right off the top, AND you can have your drinks, and umbrellas overnight, right on the beach, all year long, unlike beach homes in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores proper--even though it's the same sugary sand beach!

Beachfront luxury, all the amenities of a private home AND of the resort community, for a lot less. Gulf & Golf! 5BR Sleeps 22. Right on the Beach. Resort Community! Pools, Tennis.

Can book BOTH sides for a 10BR that sleeps 44. Connecting door on the main level!

Each side of Gulf & Gulf includes 5 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths. Two of the bedrooms on each side are master suites. Each bedroom has a view of the Gulf of Mexico and a balcony overlooking the gulf or the golf course.

Each side accommodates 22, with 2400 square feet

BEDDING:
Main Floor Bedroom: King + Twin over Full Bunk
3rd Floor N Bedroom: 2 Fulls
3rd Floor N Middle Bedroom: Full over Full Bunk + Twin
3rd Floor S Middle Bedroom: Queen
3rd Floor S Bedroom: King + Twin Bunk

Main Floor Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa (just in case!)

This listing is for one side; however, we own both! Stay in both sides of Gulf & Golf, and its a 10 BR accommodating up to 44. Inquire about taking the whole place!

Each kitchen is fully equipped including a dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal, TWO fridges, and two icemakers.

Other great features include a sundeck area and covered porch, central air/heat, washer/dryer, televisions, cable, DVD players, and telephone service with free long distance. Towel service is available. There are community grills right across from the home.

Please note: this home is absolutely beachfront. It is located right on the gulf, with nothing between you and the gulf except the sand dunes. However, as with many areas on the gulf, you CANNOT walk directly from the back of this home to the water because of the protected dunes. They serve a very important role in protecting the homes, and harboring wildlife, and walking over them is not allowed as it breaks them down. However, there is a nice wide boardwalk right off our little private cul de sac (in fact, right by the closest of the pools which is ALSO right on our cul de sac, 2 homes over, so "right there"). This short boardwalk takes you directly to the beach/water, and, as a bonus, is great for folks who may have mobility concerns or may be lugging stuff in wagons or what have you! :-)

PLANTATION RESORT. AMENITIES GALORE!
The “Gulf and Golf” is located in the Plantation resort, next to the beautiful 18 hole Kiva Dunes Championship Golf Course. Approximately 12 miles west of Gulf Shores on Fort Morgan Parkway at Gulf Shores Plantation. Same great white sand beaches! Wonderful amenities, and at a great rate!

Kiva Grill and Sassy Bass Island Grill are both in the resort, and less than a half mile walk from this beachfront unit! Food, drink. Ultra convenient!

Amenities on the Plantation grounds include 1 indoor and 6 outdoor swimming pools, whirlpool, lighted tennis courts, basketball court, putting green, game rooms, volleyball, secluded beach, and cabanas. What all is presently available? Let's look!

** Resort wide amenities subject to change, temporary or permanent closure, and are not guaranteed. Sorry!

Located on Fort Morgan, Gulf & Golf is close to many restaurants, golf courses, and other things to do, feels away from it all (but is only a short drive to all the hubbub on Gulf Shores itself), and is often a more cost-efficient choice for those who seek something a little more laid back. Plus, as an added bonus, our Fort Morgan vacation homes are not currently subject to the same restrictions on setting up umbrellas and other amenities overnight as those in Gulf Shores itself.

We offer HUGE discounts for month-long winter stays (up to 80%), a 7 for the price of 6 night special many times of the year (it is already factored into weekly pricing on VRBO!), and if you have a special request, e.g., for a non-Saturday check-in, we are happy to consider it. Please note, generally stays must be Saturday to Saturday during the summer--G&G is just way to popular and busy then to make exceptions. Sorry!

How can I help you? Looking forward to hosting you family or group!

Loved return trip
5 stars! Repeat customers. Felt very safe here, like our own little world (though as a resort there were other people of course!). A luxury. Great views. Kid friendly. Hope to come back again (and again).

Family tradition
When asked to book both Golf & Gulf 13 A&B for next year, there was a resounding "YES"! Some of the younger ones have never been anywhere else. It is our hope the family will carry this tradition forward, even after our tenure is over. Thank you sincerely for making this possible.

Great time!!
We had a great time!! The house is in a great location as it is close to the pool and the boardwalk to the beach. The air conditioner worked great during one of the hottest weeks of the year. There is a great view of the ocean from the porch however the current porch chairs have you sitting eye level with the porch rails. I liked that there were two refrigerators as we used one for drinks and the other for food.... Overall it was a great family vacation!

The stay was wonderful
Our trip this past summer was amazing as usual. I did notice you updated the fridge in the kitchen and it was nice to have a new appliances. We enjoyed our stay in your place. Thank you and I hope you had a Merry Christmas and wishing you a Happy new Year.

Instructional designer. Behavior change researcher. Father of 3. Teacher. Soccer coach. Hoosier. I'm interested in why people do the things they do, what we can do to change those things so that folks live happier and healthier lives, and how technology can help. Plus, well, I love Gulf Shores!

My wife's family have traveled to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Alabama for decades. I became a tag along in the late 1990s, so a Gulf Shores guy by marriage. One thing led to another and we ended up a several large, family-friendly, large group friendly, places along the Gulf. Why I like G&G? The Plantation is a great resort community. You get there, and you never have to leave, and yet its only 15 minutes back to Walmart, King Neptunes, and the rest of the Gulf Shores hubbub. The beach? Same beach as the main West Beach drag. In fact, if you are a runner, especially a beach runner, you can run the sands from G&G to West Beach and back. It's only about a mile or so past the end of West Beach Blvd on the sands. You just can't get there in a car because the nice nature preserve is in the between. Great place to stay, with super amenities both in the unit and around the resort.

Location. Location. Location. Right on the beach, AND in a resort community with its own PGA-qualifier course AND multiple pools and hot tub! Much more... Gulf & Golf is well-accommodated, sleeps up to 32 when you stay in both sides (this listing is for the one side but we own both... contact us if you have smaller, or BIGGER, needs). G&G is a great choice if you want the benefits of a home right on the beach but also the niceties of a resort community--but without the condo/hotel vibe.

Plus. Lower lodging taxes! Save 7% AND you can have your drinks and umbrellas on the beach!
