About this property

Gulf Front Beach House ~ Huge Decks And Water Views ~ Sugar Sand Beach!

Escape to the sugar white sands of Gulf Shores, Alabama! Don't walk to the beach, stay on it and enjoy the sound of the surf and the spectacular view of the ocean from the private decks on the main level or upper level. Home is away from the hustle & bustle of high-rises, located in a quiet area on the beach. The location is great for family activities. Pets are only allowed with prior approval and we do Not allow Smoking. Please visit Fun Spot Beach House on Facebook for direct contact.

This home has three master suites with Gulf-front sun decks plus two other bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 9' ceilings, ceramic tile flooring, wood flooring, ceiling fans, and den area/playroom upstairs for the kids. Crown molding in every room, granite counter tops in the kitchen, cultured counter tops in the bathrooms, and much more.

This fully-equipped, Non-Smoking house has all of the conveniences of home. It is conveniently located approximately 3 miles from downtown Gulf Shores just across the bridge to Little Lagoon on highly desirable West Beach. The house is located on the absolute best beach area on West Beach. Gulf Shores small town atmosphere makes your visit to the beach comfortable and easy. Spend the afternoon browsing boutiques, gift shops and galleries, or hunt for name-brand bargains at local outlet stores. The Riviera Center, one of the South's largest factory outlet malls is only a few miles away in Foley, Alabama. Especially for the kids and young adults, Gulf Shores now has the newest amusement park on the Gulf Coast since Six Flags in New Orleans was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Gulf Shores is Alabama's best-kept secret and brightest jewel. The beaches are magnificent, sparkling white sand and there is never a shortage of fun, sun and surf on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.

The easy, breezy, carefree atmosphere and subtropical climate makes it a year round destination for your family vacation or a romantic get away.

Since we are on the Gulf of Mexico we are blessed with an abundance of fresh seafood. Last night's or this morning catch will be your dinner. Treat your palate to the unlimited array of exquisite, mouth-watering seafood dishes at anyone of the many fine restaurants on the island. If you are hungry for something other than seafood you can tickle your taste buds with Cajun Creole, Barbecue, Italian, Oriental and good old down home cooking. You can feel assured that you will find the perfect ambiance and food to suit your fancy.

Listen to the sound of the surf as you go to sleep. Unwind and release the tension as you hear the waves roll over the sand inviting you to dream about the coastal paradise and magical beauty of Gulf Shores.

Tee it up at one of the 10 challenging golf courses with-in a 30-minute drive from where you are staying.

Family Vacation/Reunion/Anniversary

We were celebrating our 60th wedding anniversary with our entire family. Everything about the property was wonderful! It was exactly as described and met our needs perfectly. The owner was friendly and helpful and the only small problem we had was fixed within a couple of hours.We would certainly stay here again if the occasion arises.

Beach Bliss

Great location, full of nature swimming by (dolphins) and birds dive bombing for fish. Very comfortable lodging and easy access to the beach. Outside furnishings and sliding glass doors to the deck could use some attention. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Awesome Week at the Beach

From start to finish, the week was as it should be. Casual, fun and relaxing. The house was in very good shape and well kept with all we needed. The location is good with your own little section of beach (not literally but close) and your not to far away from any shopping you might need to do. We would rent here again if we decide to come back next year which is a high likelihood. Our host (Bobby) was quick to respond to questions and overall, easy to work with.

Great for short term family get-a-way.

Kids loved being able to walk to the beach and having a TV room to go to when the weather was bad. Only drawbacks were lack of kitchen ware (no non-stick skillet or baking sheets) and a water leak in the north kitchen window during a rainstorm.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Sept 2023
Glad you enjoyed your stay and sorry for the issues. We have addressed the replacement of the kitchen ware and we currently have a contract to remove the stucco siding on the entire house and replace it with Hardie board siding which should solve the leak issue.

House was perfect. Just as described. Loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. Views of the beach/ocean were fabulous. Loved how close we were to shops and restaurants. Check in/out was very smooth. Had a great week! First visit to Gulf Shores but not our last!

Paula, Sorry for the late response. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you will visit again. The house no longer looks the same. We were down there for a month making repairs and improvements. We had the old stucco siding removed and replace with Hardy plank. Thanks again, Bobby and Cathy Hagler

Christmas on the Beach

We had a great time staying at this property. Everything on the listing was accurate and the house fit our needs perfectly. We had 9 people staying and it was not cramped. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. The weather was a little chilly but sitting on the deck in the sun took care of that. The owners were great to work with.

This beautiful home was everything we were looking for. On the beach. Beautiful views of the Gulf. Plenty of room for our family to spread out. The owner was very nice and responded very quickly to some minor problems We loved walking along the beach in early morning and evenings. The grandkids, ages 15 to 18 months, loved playing on the beach and jumping in the waves. It really is just a 1 minute walk to the Gulf. The only downside was lots of jellyfish. And the city was dredging the adjacent lagoon so there’s a drainage pipe pumping water from the bottom of the lagoon to the Gulf. We walked about 10 extra minutes down the beach to get to the crystal clear water. The Fun Boat dolphin tour was great. Hoping we can come back again soon.

Great location but in front of the house they have pipe that is pumping water from the lagoon. The water was black with wood chips. This happened 3 days during our stay. Bring supplies. One bathroom did not have any toilet paper. Two trash bags (staying 7 days with 12 people) one dish tab. No dish soap. I contacted the host, and he was really surprised and contacted someone to bring supplies over. They came by and left 2 trash bags and 2 rolls of toilet paper.For the kitchen it is very small no storage we cooked breakfast and dinner almost every day, so we had a lot to store so it was stacked on the counter and tables. The fridge was against the wall so you could not open the freezer the whole way. It was a pain to get any big items out of the freezer such a bag of ice. The masters were big but the other two bedrooms were small. The bunk beds mattress was hard as a rock we could not sleep on them. We made it work but we will not rent again.

I’m so sorry you were unhappy. Most people love the house. The only thing you told me about was the house keepers didn’t leave dish detergent in the kitchen and a roll of toilet paper in one of the bathrooms. I contacted them and they delivered the items to the house. However, the instructions provided prior to check in clearly stated that only a starter supply of dish detergent, garbage bags, and toilet paper would be provided and you would either need to bring your own or purchase some after you arrived.

Cute and Quant

My family and I decided on Fun Spot for this year's Thanksgiving stay. The reservation process was very simple and convenient. The property was very spacious and not so cluttered. The amenities were precise.l, however the only issue was a lot of the dishes weren't previously cleaned. Overall it was a very pleasant stay!

Awesome house!

My family had a wonderful time staying here. The house was clean and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped. We did have a problem with the refrigerator and the owner had someone come over to repair it. The extra bathrooms were a bonus for our big group. The beds were also comfortable, unlike some of the other rentals we had stayed it. Overall, a great time!
