Welcome to Surfside Shores 2305, your Beachfront Home away from Home! Beach = Happy!!!!
Brand new sleeper sofa in living room, plus second bedroom all new paint, furniture, bedding and decor for 2026 ! Primary bedroom updated in 2025 along with new Polywood patio furniture! The condo looks great!
Book with a Local! We live full time in Gulf Shores, and pride ourselves on taking great care of our guests. The area is awesome and we are happy to take time and share our knowledge.
OVERVIEW Do you want an affordable Gulf front vacation with great amenities at low prices? Our Condo is for you! This two bedroom unit is priced as low as many one bedrooms. It's like you get the second bedroom and bath free! We strive to keep our rates some of the lowest in the building.
This direct beachfront two bedroom, two bath unit gives you front row seats on the beach and Gulf. There is NOTHING but a pool between you and the water... Dig your toes into the sugar white sand and relax, or play in the heated oceanfront pool! Watch the sunrise without getting out of the king sized bed in your oceanfront master suite.
CONDO Perfect for families and affordable for couples, our unit is loaded with extras to make your stay enjoyable. My husband and I have two children so we know how to make a place 'kid friendly'. We have put a lot of thought into setting up the Condo and have three flatscreen TV's, DVD players, stereo, DVD library, board games, books, beach chairs, beach umbrella, and sand toys there for you to use. You don’t need to drag all that stuff with you from home! We even have a pack-n-play and a portable high chair for the little ones…
The primary bedroom was updated in 2025 with new paint and furniture and has a King bed with French doors opening onto the balcony. There is a wall mounted flat screen TV and a large closet. Your bath has the sink/dressing area separated from the shower, so it feels like having an extra half bath. The second bedroom has a Queen bed, another flatscreen TV and another full bath.
The spacious main living area has another flat screen TV, comfortable seating, and amazing gulf views. The tiled balcony is huge and adds another 180 square feet (8X22) of space to spread out and has brand new polywood furniture for 2025. Have dinner on the outside table, or relax on the loungers and watch for dolphins.
Of course there is also a fully equipped kitchen. A frig, dishwasher, microwave, stove, washer/dryer, blender, toaster, coffeemaker, pots, pans, dishes, etc... If I have it in my kitchen at home, it is there at the condo too!
We are constantly updating the unit and know you will love our beachy decor!
BUILDING The building has free WIFI, an elevator, two large pools (one heated year round), two kiddie pools, luggage carts in the lobby, and on-site security.
AREA If you aren't familiar with Gulf Shores, it is an awesome location. We have a little library of guidebooks and area information in the Condo for you to use. And since we live in the area, I am happy to share my area knowledge and spend time talking with you and helping to plan your trip. You can golf, shop, parasail, bike and hike in the state park, eat at great restaurants, take a day trip to the Blue Angel Museum in Pensacola or the Battleship Alabama in Mobile (getting tired yet?) Or you can hang out on the beach all day, and have pizza delivered in at night. The choice is yours!
The mild temperatures in the off season, heated pool, and wealth of area attractions make our condo a great vacation spot year round. Come and stay at our place!!!

Thanks! Glad you had a good stay and hope to have you back soon!
We had a great stay here, the view was amazing with easy beach access. We liked that there was always security. The pool was great and the condo was not crowded giving a great experience at the beach. Check in process was wasy and owner communication was great.
I can't say enough good things about this property! It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed within walking distance. There was a closet with beach chairs and umbrellas, which was fantastic and saved us from having to rent from beach vendors. The host was also very friendly and responsive- we greatly appreciated her recommendations. We hope to stay with her again on a future trip!

This condo was absolutely perfect for our needs! The views were amazing with easy access to the pool and beach. The balcony was larger than any condos we stayed in before and was equipped with nice furniture. Communication with Janet (Host) was exceptional. I would certainly stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Janet Owner of VRBO 37135, 351644, 2134352
My husband and I grew up in Pittsburgh PA, but always loved the beach. After jobs took us to Clearwater, FL and Wilmington, NC, we moved to Daphne, AL about 20 years ago with our two children and fell in love with the area. We purchased our first one bedroom condo at that time. (Emerald Skye 41, VRBO 37135) Jobs then took us to Columbus, OH and Kansas City, MO over the next 20 years but we were back to our beloved Gulf Coast several times a year. We purchased this condo in 2011 ( Surfside Shores 2305, VRBO 351644) and then in 2020 purchased a 3 bedroom (Legacy 402, VRBO 2314352). Janet has been managing the condos herself all this time.
We always knew we would be back full time, and in 2022 took the leap and moved into a house in the area! We can enjoy the Gulf Coast life and take even better care of our guests.
I manage the rentals myself, allowing me to keep costs low. We have have a great housekeeper and maintenance man, and pride ourselves on being super responsive to our guests! Our Condos have developed a loyal following of repeat visitors and we hope you become one of them!
Why they chose this property
We love the beach! Orange Beach and Gulf Shores are every bit as beautiful as pricier Florida destinations.
What makes this property unique
I love dolphin watching from the balcony, and usually manage to see some each trip. I am also an amatuer photographer and you will find me on the beach at sunrise and sunset capturing the view...
