About this property
Compass Point 201 | Lagoon Views, Boat Ramp + Pools
Summary:
Compass Pointe is located on Little Lagoon with access to the beach just a short five-minute walk away. It offers the best of both worlds: a waterfront location with great views of the lagoon and easy access to the beach. Amenities include gas BBQ grill area, pool, indoor pool, pier, fish cleaning station, & a dock to tie up a water toy. $200 non-refundable dog fee.
The Space:
Set along the peaceful waters of Little Lagoon in Gulf Shores, Alabama, Compass Point 201 offers the kind of coastal stay that feels wonderfully removed while keeping the beach, restaurants, and attractions close at hand.
This spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath Gulf Shores vacation rental offers approximately 1,290 square feet of comfortable living space for up to 10 guests, a generous wraparound balcony, water views, indoor and outdoor pools, a private fishing pier, boat ramp, dock access, and a sandy lagoon shoreline—all just a short walk from the Gulf of Mexico.
Bring the family, bring the fishing rods, or bring a small boat and settle into a slower rhythm on Alabama’s Gulf Coast.
The Experience
Mornings at Compass Point 201 begin a little differently.
Step onto the expansive wraparound balcony with a fresh cup of coffee while Little Lagoon catches the early Gulf Coast light. Boats ease across the water. The palms stir in the breeze. Somewhere beyond the neighborhood, the Gulf is waking up too.
When you’re ready for the beach, it’s only a short walk away. When you’d rather stay close to home, wander down to the lagoon-front pool, fish from the pier, launch a kayak or small boat, or simply find a quiet place along the sandy shoreline to watch the afternoon drift by.
Located along Sandpiper Lane in Gulf Shores’ West Beach area, Compass Point provides a refreshing alternative to the busier high-rise corridor. You are close enough to enjoy everything Gulf Shores has to offer while returning each evening to the calmer waters of Little Lagoon.
It is coastal Alabama at an easier pace.
