About this property

Escape to the Gulf with amazing views

Welcome to our “Bama Home” where Sandy Feet are Always Welcome!
Enjoy what Gulf Shores has to offer while immersing yourself in Coastal Living where you’ll feel right at home in this well equipped condo that sleeps 6 (4 adults).


Relax and take in the unobstructed views of the Gulf/Dunes in the comfy recliners inside or the Adirondack Chairs on the balcony.
Take a moment and walk on the beach with your coffee in your hand or explore the 17 miles of walking/bike trails through the Gulf State Park.
Inside the condo you will be immediately greeted with beach decor and amazing views from the main living area. We have hopefully thought of everything from the comfortable living area, full size kitchen, comfortable queen beds in the bedroom and lofts. Including built-in bunk beds where your munchkins can fall asleep amongst dolphins, sea, and sky.


All of this within in 1 mile of many restaurants, shopping and the Hang Out Fest.
For those who like to fish, the State Pier is across the street and within walking distance, or grab your crabbing gear or fresh water gear and visit Shelby Lake which can be seen from the walkway of the condo and is within walking distance.

There are no animals of any type allowed in this unit. The unit is non-smoking due to regulations by the HOA and allergies of the owner but there is a smoking area set up by the elevators. The unit does have a ring doorbell and the complex is monitored with security cameras in all common areas, walkways, and parking lot. We do not charge extra for cleaning or amenities (pool).

Spectacular stay right by the beach!

This condo was very nice - complete with a beach theme! Very clean and fit 6 of us very well. I loved the balcony overlooking the gulf. I appreciated the amenities - chairs to take to the beach, several tvs for everyone, and the binder filled with food and activity ideas. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect Spring Break Getaway

We were so fortunate to find this diamond for our trip to Gulf Shores. Our stay could not have been better. So impressed with the decor and thoughtful details! The fully stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare a few meals. Our only regret was we had to leave! We will definitely be back on our next visit! Thank you Don & Karen!

Great View/Great Location

This property has an unobstructed and beautiful view of the ocean. Public access to the beach is just across the street. The added bonus is by being across from park/nature preserve the beach is not nearly as crowded as in other parts. The place was newly renovated, very clean and had all the amenities to make our stay comfortable. The host was very responsive and easy to work with. We would definitely stay here again.

I'm so glad you enjoyed our unobstructed views - we love being on the East End with the state park/nature preserve in front and in the back. We hope you get an opportunity to stay with us again. Don & Karen

About the host

Hosted by Don & Karen West

Host profile image
I have a lot of family in Alabama, but I grew up as an Air Force brat :) and then married Air Force and are currently living in Idaho. We both love the beaches of Alabama and the mountains of Idaho where we live close to our daughters and their families. With 4 little girls and 1 little man to watch grow up we definitely stay busy but love it when we can escape to the Sandy White Beaches of Gulf Shores Alabama.

Why they chose this property

We have owned a unit at Grand Beach Resort for the last 4 years and love the complex, the people and having the Gulf State Park Beach area in front and Shelby Lake and the miles of trails behind. We were so excited when this unit on the top floor with it's remodeled kitchen, views of the Gulf where you can see for miles and miles with it's beautiful sunrises from your balcony. This is a great location close to everything we like to do while in Gulf Shores from attending church at the Flora Bama or just enjoying a nice walk on the beach with our morning cup of coffee. Some of our best memories as a couple are really spent on the beach, it is a place where we can get away from the our hectic jobs and just relax!

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the location, close enough to the fun events that Gulf Shores has to offer, but far enough way for that little bit of quiet time also. You don't have the congestion you feel in other areas surrounded by high rise condo units, at night you can see the lights of the Gulf State Pier and relax from the private balcony.
