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.

One of our first experiences in a Vrbo, this studio space has phenomenal views of the ocean and surroundings. Beautiful for daytime and sunset watching. It's a corner room and on the top floor, so it's quiet and away from everyone else in the building. The location is also great, with nice beach access, and a short drive to everything nearby. We came in October, the offseason, and couldn't believe how nice it was - not a crowd anywhere. This was a perfect stay and would highly recommend!

Nice place, very clean!

Property owners and on site management communicated perfectly, so there were no issues with our stay. Very clean room with a nice pool onsite and easy beach access across the street. Quiet location with great views! My only negative comment is that it's a bit of a drive to most restaurants and nightlife. Overall though, it was an excellent place to stay!

Our little 4 night getaway!

What a wonderful place to stay. Easy access to the beach, pool, tennis and pickleball quarts were very well maintained. Our hosts....SUPERB! Very helpful leading up to our stay. Answered all the questions and gave many options for restaurants to choose from. Our favorite was LuLu's. Very family oriented and lots of entertainment, games, shops for the whole family. Will come again.

Nice stay

Good location and we had everything we needed.Bathtub had hair from previous tenants but all else was clean.We had two issues related to the resort, not the suite. 1) The hot tub was full of kids from opening to closing along with their blowup animals so it couldn’t ever be used. 2) when leaving for breakfast one morning we saw a notice in the elevator that bug spraying was being done that day. At least one day notice should have been given so we could have had time to put away or cover food items and lock up valuables.

Fun get away with hubby

I was very pleased with the place. You are able to watch the sunrise & also see the sun set & not even leave the room. Beautiful views. Condo is just like what you see in pictures. The beach is only a short walk away. We was very happy with our stay. Hope everyone enjoys it as much as we did. Owners were quick to respond with answers to any questions. Thanks again Rhonda & Ken for allowing us to enjoy your place.

PENTHOUSE HIDEAWAY:

Very nice place and very clean. Nice little kitchen, nice couch and tv and bed with a tv. Easy access and very safe. Little far from restaurants but perfect for our stay. Great pool and great beach access. Will go again one day. IDK if there was a camera in the bathroom mirror so it was kind of creepy. IDK who would want to watch??? but i hope they enjoyed the show!!!!! Maybe more cameras in the room? IDK but it was kind of creepy!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Rhonda and Ken

Host profile image
We live in Gulf Shores, and adore the Alabama coast! We know the area intimately, and love to assist travelers in helping them create a beachfront vacation that truly impregnates their mind and heart forever!

We are passionate stewards of helping guests create the best beach experience possible by sharing our Orange Beach or Gulf Shores condos (vrbo - 494929; vrbo - 581054; vrbo - 678816; vrbo - 872824; vrbo - 1171303)!

We married on the beautiful sands of the Gulf of Mexico, and the passion for living and being in this proximity never leaves our hearts. We are enthralled with love for this area, and become ever more close with its nature, beauty, and the communal of people.

Together, we are passionate for shoreline, sun, sand, daily walks and talks. We both always have craved visits and time spent at the gulf and fresh water lakes, including beachcombing for unique shells and sea glass. We welcome the opportunity to share our home with you and those whom you love.

Why they chose this property

This penthouse brought us the feeling of being on the top of the world – literally! Although we adore and enjoy our other properties on the gulf, we crave efficiency and streamline chic, so we have more time to play outdoors and be together! This condo was so stunning and incredibly ravishing to us, because you can see all points on the horizon - you will feel like a queen and a king! We delve toward warmth, shoreline, and sun - and cannot absorb enough of them! This haven is drenched in dance, romance and song . . .

What makes this property unique

We were drawn to this resort property because, oftentimes, we just want to relax, be together for quiet, intimate conversation and enjoy it all, in the tranquility and setting of a tropical pool, gardens, plants and lap of the water. Gulf Shores Surf and Racquet Club offers the substance of that choice - you can leave it all, because all that you need is right here for you. The site has so many diversified, unique amenities, so the days and evenings can be completely full with ALL that is immediately on the property to experience!

Access!

To water, sand, sky!

You can see, and be in, all that you imagine!

Stay in or step out: You are THERE!!
