When Pigs Fly Private Pool and Pet-Friendly Fenced Yard plus FREE Activities and Golf
You'll love the PRIVATE Pool & Short Distance to the Beach at our Gulf Shores Vacation Rental beach duplex. Renovated in Spring 2021. We are lucky to have our own pool, just for our duplex that can be heated from October to May for $60 per day, looking south toward the Gulf. We are only 2 rows of houses from the Gulf, about 200 yards back from the beach. You'll find public beach access at each end of the block.
Plus you'll have FREE Golf and Activities every day of your stay to make it even better (value of up to $700/day). **Not available for Jan/Feb long-term rentals.

About the host
Hosted by Our Team at Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals, Inc

Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals is a locally-based, family-owned, professional vacation management company. We specialize in large homes, mainly beachfront with 6-12 bedrooms, and most with private pools. During your stay we have a team ready to assist, 7 days a week, should you need assistance, Thank you for considering our homes for your next beach vacation.
Why they chose this property
In 2004 we discovered that OMG, Alabama had a beach--and it was a really beautiful beach. We fell in love with the sugar white beaches and family-friendly atmosphere. We liked that Gulf Shores was easier to reach than any other beach we knew of along the Gulf Coast (no 2 lane roads to get here but it is still not huge and built up!)
From the beach road we spotted the house & its big grassy pool area & porches and loved it, but couldn't really imagine that it was a possibility for us. We came up with a plan that calls for another 20 years of hard work, a lot of cooperation from Mother Nature, and the idea that other families like ours will continue to love Gulf Shores and want to come visit.
We love the West Beach area of Gulf Shores. It is low-key and very residential but you are just a couple of miles from restaurants, within 3 miles of Waterville and the Zoo, within 4 miles of several grocery stores.

What makes this property unique
Pool, pool, pool plus a nice BIG yard. Love the quiet location about 600' back from the beach, but also like have refreshing water right in the backyard. And maybe this is sacrilege, but it is really nice having a grass yard instead of sand! Our children were 3 & 5 when we bought the house and could manage the distance to the beach.
We try to have the things we like at the house for your stay, like a grill, beach cart, books, games, etc. Lots of houses don't have those sorts of things but we hope they add a little something extra to your stay.
