About this property
Enjoy a little R&R at the Reef & Reel
Everyone needs a little R&R every now and then. The Reef & Reel provides plenty of rest and relaxation. The beach is only 100 yards from the front door by way of the boardwalk beach access across the street. Little Lagoon is only 50 yards out the back door, where you will find your very own boat slip. This property provides a fishing dock, private sandy beach area on the lagoon, and a small community pool. This house has it all! Located 3.7 miles from the intersection of Hwy 59 on West Beach Blvd, you are close to the great restaurants and shopping but yet in a very quiet part of Gulf Shores. Right out the front door of this house you will find a breath taking view of the Gulf of Mexico. The back deck has a great view of Little Lagoon. This lagoon is famous for record catches of spotted trout, red fish, flounder, and stingrays. Our family favorite is catching blue crab. Of course, you can clean your fish at the fish cleaning station at the pier, which goes out into the lagoon. Have your own boat? You can keep it in the waters during your stay using the private boat slip. You can enjoy access to the community swimming pool. This is NOT a condo ... this is your own house. It is very hard to find a 3 bedroom, 3 bath house with a great gulf view, a lagoon for fishing, a swimming pool, and lots of privacy! The home sleeps 10 with 2 king bed, 1 queen beds, a queen sleeper sofa, and 2 twin roll-away beds. There are also 3 full baths. Two bedrooms and two baths are upstairs and both have incredible views of the gulf that open onto a large deck. The third bedroom and bath are downstairs with a deck looking out onto the lagoon. There are tables and chairs on all of the decks. Also, you will find on the first floor a kitchen, eating area, living room, and laundry room. Sliding doors take you from the living room onto a deck overlooking the gulf. The living room has ample sitting options. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need. There is a 47" high definition TV in the living room and high definition TVs in each bedroom. Oversized vans nor campers will fit under the house. There is only 3 parking spaces available under the house. The neighborhood does have a few first come spots for oversized vehicals.

We had everything we needed and it was the easiest process for check in and checking out. Loved the location! Will try to stay here again if we are in the area.
This is a wonderful house with the perfect location for a relaxing vacation . The ease of access to the beach or the lagoon was one of my favorite details. The house is well kept and has a stocked kitchen, including an airfryer. There are more than enough items in the storage unit for the beach. I loved that the rooms upstairs had private bathrooms. I will definitely check availability at this house when I return to Gulf Shores. Thank you for such amazing accommodations!
I can’t say enough nice things about our hosts. Our wifi went out during our stay due to a storm. The hosts did everything possible to get it fixed and stayed in communication with us. We really enjoyed staying here!
The house was perfect for our group of 6 adults but can sleep more. It had everything you need in the kitchen, plenty of bath towels and beach items. The deck was perfect for morning coffee and being outside with a view of the water! This is our 3rd time staying on west beach and we are already thinking of when we will be back to rent Reef and Reel. There isn’t one negative about our stay here!
We had a wonderful time!! Condo was fantastic and just a short walk to the beach. It had everything we needed, including beach chairs. We will be back!
Amazing property in Gulf Shores. The place was perfect for our stay, super comfy beds and very clean. Great location, would recommend to anyone visiting Gulf Shores.
This property was perfect for what we needed for our travel party. It was cozy and had all of the amenities necessary to make our stay comfortable. We had one slight appliance issue, but after a quick message to the host, a repairman was out to fix it and we were good as new afterwards. The only thing negative about the stay was we wish the patio had better outdoor lighting for sitting on the patio after sunset. The washer was fun to work with as it tends to travel while washing, but still works and did what it needed to do. We would definitely choose this host and property again for our next trip. 10/10.
We loved the location of this property. Very short walk to the beach even though it is across the street. Everything was as advertised and owner was very pleasant to deal with. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again in the future.
We had a wonderful time! The walk to the beach was easy and the beaches were over crowded. Having to dock in the back and small beach areas made for a good break and we got to adventure the bay side waters seeing crabs and fishing. The only negative was the room not being ready when we arrived at 4 but overall we had a great stay
Great location. Very short walk to the beach and lagoon. Away from the busy area but close enough to get there quick. The house is a little dated but we had a good time.
Reef and Reel could not have been more perfect for our first family vacation to the beach! The listing was so accurate. The house was so close to the beach and we loved watching the ocean from the balcony while we drank coffee. We even saw dolphins swimming one morning from the balcony - so cool!
The house was clean and decorated so nicely with beachy decor. We especially loved the set up- grandparents stayed on the first level with their own bathroom, while my family of four stayed in the two bedrooms upstairs. Each room having its own bathroom was amazing and access to a washer and dryer was so convenient.
The big comfy sectional was also so nice in the living room because of all 6 of us could be seated comfortably (for some reason, that tends to be lacking in other houses we’ve rented or looked at).
My kids (2 and 6) loved all of the beach toys provided. It was also fun to take the kids to the pool or down to the lagoon in the evening after a long day at the beach.
The owner was so responsive to any needs or questions. We couldn’t stop, and can’t stop talking about how much we loved staying at Reef and Reel and hope to come back again for our next beach vacation!
We all had a wonderful time, everything you need from rest to recreation is all available. Short distance to the lagoon and gulf shoreline. Gas grill was ready and clean. A BIG Time was had
We felt lucky to find this place at the last minute for our spring break. Very satisfied with the home. We had everything we needed. For a good time. Loved gulf shores and the beach. Would rent this property again in the future.
WeWe loved our stay here - the boardwalk made access to the beach very easy and we also loved the fishing dock in the back of the property. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable and clean. There were lots of chairs and beach items in the storage area that we could use. We were about 3 miles from the main drag which meant the beach itself was not as crowded but it was still convenient to go to restaurants and shopping. We loved this place and I can't say enough good things. We hope to be back soon!

About the host
Hosted by Shannon & Tom Martin, Jessica & John Boroff
Our story began in 1984, when Tom’s family moved to Colorado Springs, where he became neighbors with John. Both just freshmen in high school, little did they know that would be the start of a friendship that would last a lifetime. After high school, both moved to different states, but always kept in touch. Eventually John and Jessica moved to Alabama to finish college along with Tom and Shannon and all four graduated from Auburn University in Montgomery. Through high school, moving to different states, starting college, meeting their future wives, and now raising children together, the friendship has survived 41 years. John and Jessica have made a career of caring for others. Both being nurses, they run their own health care company in Auburn and have 2 children, Kayla and Jabe. Kayla attended Troy University where she is majoried in nursing. She is currently is working at Baptist South in Montgomery, AL as a NICU nurse. Jabe just completed 2 years at Enterprise State Community College where he played baseball and will continue his baseball career next year at Troy University. Tom is a successful salesman and Shannon is a retired elementary school teacher. They have one son who is an electrical project manager for Crosby Electric in Montgomery, AL. We have hopes of all retiring in the near future and enjoying a life at our “Happy Place”, the Beach.
Why they chose this property
We all love spending the day on the beach and the night on the dock fishing.
