About this property

PENTHOUSE HIDEAWAY: BEACH LOVERS' ROMANTIC HAVEN - VIEWS to INFINITY!

Views to INFINITY from this Penthouse Suite - ENDLESS Visual Richness!

FEATURED in 'GULF GLAMOUR,' a PROFILE of MUST-STAY PROPERTIES, published in 'ALABAMA ENTERTAINMENT,' "MOBILE POST-CRESCENT"!

PENTHOUSE SUITE for LOVERS! FALL out of time! You dreamed it, you wondered if it's real, you asked about it - it's here! Enjoy PANORAMIC VIEW to multiple horizons, via a wrap of windows that extend the space. OPEN concept with endless light! A private jewel that will seduce you - a getaway you pray will never end!

Beautifully APPOINTED furnishings are PRISTINE, warm, and inviting THAT enfold you in elegance. BEACH urban living at its finest - all SWIMMING in romance!

Expansive Water Views, and Direct Watercraft and Fishing Access Onto Lagoon - Enchanted views of Lagoon & the Gulf of Mexico! Immerse yourself in the incredible beauty & enchanted privacy of West Beach Gulf Shores! Dream setting & location for the fishing/water-play lover in you! Your boat, jet ski, or personal watercraft is welcomed and can be put into the inter-waterway from the PRIVATE BOAT RAMP! Parking is plentiful! Rest in tranquility by the calming pool, surrounded in lush TROPICAL plants!

WATER is the key component of Gulf Shores Surf and Racquet Club; one side hosts the inner waterway; the other is the Gulf of Mexico. Beach Boulevard is on the south side of the complex, with a private walkway and deeded access to the beach. The tropical pool is on the Bay side, protected from the sea salt and, therefore, creates the tropical landscape that it is - a rich botanical of plants growing that cannot be evident adjacent to the Gulf.

It is a water paradise, and an ideal landing spot for guests who like to put their boats and water-crafts in, as well. Travelers love to fish off the long piers, too. The resort amenities are numerous, giving access to both simultaneously. GSSRC is situated on the narrower end of Gulf Shores/Pleasure Island, and is private and quieter, as a result.

From the (penthouse) crown of Building A, swim in light, expansive views, wine, dance, sleep, play - with absolutely no obstructions! Dream and live the hours away in a complete circle of refuge - this astonishing corner-condo HAVEN is all yours to enjoy! Designed for duel companionship - exquisite quaintness awaits!

The suite, with penthouse climate-controlled hallways, tops a trinity of buildings facing both the Gulf of Mexico and an inter-coastal waterway with a feast of water, sun and sand for the heart and mind! Steps from the Gulf shoreline, simply walk across the parking lot onto the deeded private boardwalk, shed your shoes - feel the silky sand!

RESORT-STYLE AMENITIES Include:

* Boat ramp
* Fishing piers
* Shuffleboard
* Outdoor Hot Tub
* Tropical-surround swimming pool
* Private boardwalk to the beach
* Barbecue Grills/Picnic Area
* Lighted Tennis and Pickleball Courts

This tranquil, restful and 'cosmic' resort is located approximately three (3) miles west of Hwy 59 (Gulf Shores Pkwy) in Gulf Shores, with the ocean steps away to the south, and the water-way to the north (the canal nearby enters the Gulf of Mexico from 'Little Lagoon')!

Get lost in the tropical-landscaped courtyard and breathtaking clover-shaped pool! Indulge in everything that Gulf Shores Surf and Racquet Club hosts for you to enjoy! You will be renewed, refreshed, electrified, and energized!!

PLEASURE ISLAND'S BEST-KEPT SECRET!

*$30.00 Parking Pass must be purchased by traveler; obtained at the front office during business hours (pass NOT included in rental rate); pass valid for the entire duration of stay.

*Boat pass registration is $30 (duration of stay); stickers issued at the front desk.

*Condo hosts one queen bed.

*Minimum rental age is 25 years old.

Have stayed at GSSRC several times and in different units. I believe this one is now my personal favorite! Loved the view of the beach and lagoon from the panoramic windows. We seldom get to vacation alone, but when we do, we will definitely rent this unit again…….so peaceful and relaxing……didn’t want to leave!

The views were amazing, the host was very quick to communicate and answer any qestions I had. The condo was exactly as listed. It was very cozy not much room for unpacking our things we just sat our suitcase on the couch and worked out of it for the week, but the place was decorated nicely. The kitchen with the air fryer was perfect for reheating leftovers and having drinks nice and cold in the lil fridge. For a 4 day stay it was nice. Quick access to the pool, beach and resturaunts.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 July 2026
Wonderful that you enjoyed your stay​, found the views amazing​, and that the condo was exactly as listed - along with quick access to the pool, beach, and restaurants. As for ‘not much room for unpacking our things,’ there is an entire standard dresser drawer available for your items (with six large​-capacity drawers), as well as a closet (with hangers provided) for hanging clothes. Additionally, there is a leather ottoman to place a suitcase on, which​ is located between the dresser and closet for unpacking. So we are not quite ​s​ure​, and stunned to read, what that ​was all about (???)​ - as to why a suitcase would need to be on the couch for a guest​'s stay​; thankfully,​ no other guest ​r​eviews​ indicate that either. Glad the condo was nice for your four-day stay.

The description of the place was dead on. Located on the top floor. It was quiet and relaxing. Amazing views of the ocean. The place was decorated nicely. It is a studio, anymore than two people it would be cramped. The bed was very comfortable and the necessities for a 4 night stay were on hand.

Lovely condo, quiet with great views. Easy access to the beach just across the street. Great beach.Pool and hot tub were available also. Lots of families with children, so the pool gets noisy so we stayed mostly at the beach.Condo had everything we needed, coffee, towels etc.You will have to drive to restaurants, but they are not too far.Parking was plentiful so no worries.A great place to stay!

Liked the place, views were beautiful. Only issue was with the insanely hard matress - very uncomfortable. Pillows were poor quality as was the bedding.
Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 14 May 2026
The mattress is approximately a year old, and a medium gel foam mattress was chosen to meet the needs of the majority of travelers. Mattress preference is subjective, and many guests have found this mattress to be very comfortable. Guests accustomed to softer mattresses may find a medium mattress firmer than what they are accustomed to at home. (And guests who have a harder mattress at home may find this mattress softer than what they are used to regularly at home.) What suits one person is not for everyone. Given that your checkout was delayed well beyond checkout time because you had slept in, did appear the mattress was comfortable enough to sleep in that particular morning. Glad you enjoyed the condo and the beautiful views.

View was amazing and access to the beach and inlet were quick and easy. Room was a little smaller than expected and not much kitchen space for food and drink storage. A balcony or at least being able to open a window would have been a bonus. But overall we were pretty happy with our stay.

Fabulous you found the view amazing and access to the beach quick and easy. The photos and descriptions of the condo, kitchen, and overall space are honestly disclosed prior to booking. Guests adore and appreciate how the entire condo is basically a balcony and its distinctive panoramic view, rarely found in even larger condos (which essentially cost more to rent). Glad you were happy with your stay.

The view from 2 large walls of windows was amazing. We could watch dolphins in the gulf. The bed was good. Kitchen was small but adequate. It was an easy jaunt across a non-busy street to get right to the boardwalk and the ocean. We liked being able to leave our shoes on a rack provided and also enjoyed renting umbrella chairs. The pool and pickleball courts were lovely.
