This condo was perfect for our family. The location is ideal for those who desire easy beach access. Beach chairs along with beach toys are available to use. Cleaning up from the sandy beach is a breeze with a hose located in the garage space before returning to the condo. The kitchen is fully equipped for those who like to stay in and cook from time to time. All accommodations were wonderful!

Perfect

The property is low density and the beach is just a few steps away from the property. The pool and courtyard were awesome and very spacious for our family to play at. We really enjoyed having our own space under the carport to keep all of our beach and pool items. But the best part was our condo. Our unit was amazing and had EVERYTHING we needed. Esp the mattresses. Wonderful to sleep on after a long day out. Loved our stay!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Gina Kempf

Host profile image
My husband Gary and I are parents to 5 grown children and 5 grandchildren! We are recent empty nesters and are just starting our pre-retirement journey!

We bought this townhome to get out of the cold midwestern winters and make memories with our kids and grandkids.

My husband loves to bike so he really enjoys the miles and miles of bike trails which are great for walking too! There are so many options to enjoy year-round in Gulf Shores!

Why they chose this property

We have family who have been vacationing in Gulf Shores for years and now we are joining them! It truly is a place to gather and make memories!

We are excited to rent out our townhome when we aren't using it and share the fun with others!

Since we like our home to be very nice and updated, we wanted our condo to be the same way. You will love what we have done!

What makes this property unique

Location! Location! Location! The heart of Gulf Shores! Close to everything!

We love Gulfside Townhomes because it is NOT a high rise. It's a unique 2 story townhouse with parking for 2 cars underneath the unit. No elevators just straight down the steps right to the beach! Incredible Gulf Views, Great Pool, Grassy Courtyard.
