About this property
Private Home in Gulf Shores Perfect for Group Getaways | Short Walk to Beach!
Welcome to Big Blue, a charming two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom vacation home in Gulf Shores, Alabama, just steps from the sugar-white sand! This coastal retreat sleeps up to 10 guests and offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience — enjoy easy beach access less than a block away, private balconies with partial Gulf views and plenty of space to unwind after a day in the sun.
With 1,200 square feet of inviting living space, Big Blue is designed for relaxation and togetherness. The open-concept living area features cool tile floors, cozy furnishings and a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances — perfect for preparing beachside breakfasts or sunset dinners. Fire up the private charcoal grill for a casual family cookout, then gather on the balcony to enjoy warm Gulf breezes and the sound of the waves in the distance.
On the main floor, the two bedrooms offer peaceful retreats, each featuring flat-screen TVs and partial views of the Gulf — ideal for catching a glimpse of sunrise or starlit skies. The first bedroom has two queen beds and a private attached half bathroom, while the second bedroom has two full beds. Also on the main floor, there is a shared full bathroom, and on the ground floor, there is an additional full bathroom, which includes a washing machine and dryer.
After a day at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower and take advantage of the home’s boat trailer parking — perfect for guests eager to explore Gulf waters by boat. Two covered and uncovered parking spaces make your stay even more convenient.
From live music and fresh seafood at The Hangout to local shops and water adventures, Big Blue places you near all the best things to do in Gulf Shores.
Book your stay at Big Blue today and discover why this beachside gem is the perfect place to relax, recharge and make memories.
Clean Coverlet Program: This property provides fresh and clean bed linens, including comforters and coverlets, laundered prior to every check-in.
