About this property
Booking now for Spring Break! Across from the beach& close to the heart of town!
Welcome to Daydream By The Gulf in the West Beach area of Gulf Shores! You are sure to fall in love with the beautiful white sandy beaches and emerald waves just as we did from the day we arrived. The Village is a low density smoke free complex with only 15 units and is located across the two lane road from the beach. There is public beach access down across the street from us and unofficial beach access just across from Waves convenience store, making your short walk to the beach very easy and accessible! Pleasea be aware that we are located on the second level (equivalent to third level due to the building being raised on stilts) and there is no elevator.
You are about 1.6 miles away from the heart of Gulf Shores including the Hangout, the Shrimp Festival, Bahama Bob's, amazing restaurants and a variety of shopping yet far enough to avoid the bigger crowds and heavier traffic. There is also a Waves convenience store, Island Ice Cream and Treats for a great way to cool off during the summer months and The Beach House Kitchen and Cocktails restaurant which has a variety of amazing food just around the corner from our unit. The Gulf Shores state park is only 3 miles away where you can rent bikes and walk the trails or if a concert is bringing you to town, the Wharf and Flora-Bama are both a short drive away.
When you aren’t out exploring the Gulf Shores area, make yourselves comfortable in our owner managed two bedroom, two bathroom condo with a private balcony. The first bedroom includes a king size bed and cable tv with a private bathroom while the second bedroom features two twin size beds and cable tv. Both bathrooms are supplied with one roll of toilet paper and then you will need to bring your preference of shampoo/conditioner/soap and personal hygiene products as these are not provided.
There is a stackable washer and dryer in the hallway, however, we do not provide laundry detergent. There are also boogie boards, an umbrella, beach chairs and sand toys in the hallway closet for you to enjoy during your stay but please remember to return them before you leave so that our next guests can enjoy them as well!
The full kitchen is equipped with a drip coffee maker(don’t forget to pack your favorite coffee/filters), cookware, utensils, dishes and silverware along with one roll of paper towels, garbage bags and dishwasher tablets to get your stay started.
You will find a 58" Roku tv set up on guest mode in the living room or just scroll through the 250 channels on rainy days. Free wifi is also available to all of our guests whether you are here for work or to simply relax and enjoy some down time. The sofa also turns in to a bed.
As for outside amenities, enjoy the small pool on the property that is shared among the guests of the complex along with a public charcoal grill and picnic area.

There are two outside showers in the front or back of the property to rinse off your feet and beach toys after spending a day in the sand.

Place was great!!! Clean and well stocked with essential. We were going to go to the store and beach gear and toys but they us covered. Thank you for all communication and a great pace to enjoy our short stay!!! Highly recommend!!
We had a great stay. The location is amazing. We were close to everything. The beach is only a 3 minute walk. The place was clean and the owners were very responsive when I contacted them. We would for sure stay here again.
I was please from the moment we open the door. This place was nice and cozy and most of all I appreciated the owner communicating early check in to the checklist to checking out making sure we didn’t leave any of our belongings. We will definitely stay here again
We really enjoyed our stay! We felt very comfortable here. Excellent communication with the owners. Condo is updated and very clean. Short walk to the beach. Thanks for everything.
My husband and I decided at the last minute to go to the Shrimp Festival. I just happened to be scrolling VRBO and saw the last minute availablity of your condo. It was perfect for my husband and I. It was very convenient to the Shrimp Festival. We will definitely want to stay here again.
The condo was perfect for the 6 of us. Tim and Rebecca are awesome hosts and communication was quick.
Just a five minute walk to the beach. Convenient to groceries and The Hangout.
We will definitely be back!
Me and my family came to visit for Deep South Cheer Nationals and the property accommodated my family so well. It is very well kept and location is ideal for families wanting to do local activities and enjoy the beach. The house had all your essential needed for the stay including beach items.The host was top tier with answering any questions and fixing any concerns. Will highly recommend.
Overall pretty nice, needs some updates. Had to fix bathroom faucet 😕

We are glad to hear you were happy with the cleanliness and accuracy of our listing, including any updates we have made so far. Once we saw your review, we reached out immediately to see what the issue was with the sink as you did not mention anything being wrong during your two week stay. You finally replied that “just the screen on the sink was backed up, no big deal”. Regardless, communication is key and we encourage all of our guests to reach out with any issues when they arise so that we can get it addressed in a timely manner by our professional team.
I usually rent right on the beach but this time chose different and wasn’t disappointed. The condo was stocked with coffee, kitchen items, and beach chairs/umbrellas. Also has a restaurant and convenient store right next to it. We decided to drive a block down and pay to park for east beach access and rent chairs/umbrellas for
easy clean up at the end of the day and it was the best decision. Property mgr was able to give us access an hour early since we arrived in town before check in and that was very much appreciated! Sofa bed and the beds in the rooms we’re comfortable also.
We liked the place but sleeping was tough because there was significant noise the floor above us. Sounded like a bowling bowl was being dropped throughout the day and night. The owners demanded all dishes be washed and trash taken out before leaving. Seems like that is something that could be done in the fees and charges for staying there. The house was nice and worked well for our family.
Great experience for our first time to Gulf Shores
My hubby and I really enjoyed our first time at Gulf Shores and are so glad we chose “Daydream by the Gulf” to stay at. The condo was very clean, functional with a kitchen that was well supplied and the small details of the decor showed that the Host and Hostess really love and care for their place. The king size bed and beautiful walk in shower were a nice bonus as well. The condo was also located in a great location. It is only a short drive to most stores, activities and eating places but also far enough away that you notice the traffic isn’t as bad as it is on the main drag. It felt less congested with traffic which feels much safer as you walk along the side of the road to get to the beach, grocery store or the Beach House, the best restaurant we found in the area …. all within a couple of minutes of our place. Timothy and Rebecca were very helpful in providing details and getting things set up. We would highly recommend this condo. It was very comfortable whether we had a day of staying in and cooking for ourselves and most convenient if we just wanted to walk to the beach and see the beautiful sunset.
The property was great! Conveniently located right next to a restaurant with good food (The Beach House) and a convenience store with beach access across the street. The condo was exactly as pictured with everything we needed to be comfortable during our stay. Check in was very easy. Great place to stay in Gulf Shores. The property manager was available and responded promptly to questions. I would definitely come back.
We loved our stay here! It was the perfect location near the beach and not too far from everything else. Having beach chairs & toys for our use really came in handy as well! Our family had a great time.
Was in town for softball tournament and stayed at this nice condo. Was close to the beach so in our down time we could walk across the street and spend time on the beach. This place made us fee at home.
We truly had a great stay. The unit was as advertised. Only one complaint, the guests in the unit directly above ours seemed to never sleep or even rest and I believe they were wearing concrete shoes. Room was noisy from their pacing all hours of the day and night. Other than that, it was a great place to stay and we had an awesome trip!
Everything was just awesome!! Things were clean and the regular beds were very comfortable. We loved the area and the closeness to the beach. The restaurant a couple of doors down was fantastic! The amenities were very nice! Everything was stocked well...towels, dishes, utensils, etc. The A/C worked great! There were even several chairs for us to use at the beach along with boogie boards and other "toys". We would definitely stay here again!!!
We loved how easy it was to walk to and from the ocean without having to use our vehicle. We were able to avoid sand in our vehicle and didn’t have to worry about paying for parking anywhere it was that close! The place was nice and cozy. The beds were comfortable. I loved all the extra things we were able to use/take with us to the ocean without having to buy our own things. It was nice that it wasn’t a crowded place either. Overall we loved this place. We would definitely stay again!
Condo was perfect for our family of six. Close to restaurants and shops and a short walk to the beach. The check-in process was easy. The condo looked exactly like the pictures and was very clean. We enjoyed our stay and would rent this unit again.
Comfortable, very clean, safe condo. Loved all the amenities. Beds and linens are wonderful. No elevator but we just considered this part of our daily workout. 😀 Easy entry to condo.
Tim and Rebecca's place was perfect for a short getaway. It's nicely decorated and conveniently located across the street from the beach and just down the block from a market and restaurant. Would be an awesome getaway for families as Tim and Rebecca's "mom and dad" touches are perfect. The only issue was I didn't stay long enough!! I will definitely be back!!

About the host
Hosted by Timothy Lalk
My wife and I live on a farm and have several local properties which I manage and take care of while my wife homeschools our youngest two of four children. Our passion is traveling in our 1999 Dodge van that we converted in to a campervan and appreciate when time allows for it. We want your stay with us to be filled with good times that you will remember for years to come and will do all that we can to make sure you are making memories in every moment with your loved ones.
Why they chose this property
We came down to Gulf Shores and fell in love with not only the area, but the generosity of all the people we came in to contact with. We felt this property was perfect for us because it was not only right across the street from the beach but also close enough to the popular attractions of Gulf Shores. Being a family of a six, we also enjoy the fact that there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms available. We met some of the other neighbors in the complex who are very friendly and take very good care of the building. My wife and I love to travel when time allows but for now we are excited to share our Daydream by the Gulf with others!
What makes this property unique
The location of our condo is what drew us in as you are able to walk right across the street to the beach or for those who are more used to walking, you can also walk down to the heart of Gulf Shores which is just under 2 miles. My wife and I did walk down to the Hangout with our youngest two children ages 8 and 11 on the beach though and it took about 45 minutes. Walking the sidewalk would have probably been faster and easier. Also, just around the corner from our unit is a wonderful restaurant called the Beach House Kitchen and Cocktails or an ice cream shop called Island Ice Cream and Treats (closed during the winter months). The kids really enjoy the pool and always seem to have it to themselves for at least part of our stay as there are only 15 units in the complex that we share the pool with. While the pool is not heated, it has always been nice and warm every time we jump in!
