Gulf Front w/Spacious Balcony, Designed for Comfort in the Heart of Gulf Shores

Nestled just a mile west of the lively “Hangout,” this Gulf front 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom retreat offers a thoughtfully designed space in the heart of Gulf Shores, recently ranked one of the top beaches in the country by U.S. News.

Recent upgrades include a redesigned living room with professionally selected furnishings, including an Italian leather sofa, swivel chairs, and a leather recliner, updated outdoor balcony furniture, and a refreshed second bedroom now featuring two twin beds that can be positioned together for added space and flexibility. Updated photos reflecting these living room, balcony, and bedroom upgrades will be added in May 2026.

This home has been carefully furnished with comfort in mind and reflects the feel of a well maintained second home rather than a typical full time rental. The interior features a clean, coastal design with curated artwork and comfortable, well appointed furnishings throughout.

Step onto the spacious 154 sq ft Gulf front balcony, accessible from both the living room and primary bedroom. With expansive views and comfortable outdoor seating, it is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beach just steps away.

Take advantage of the large zero entry pool overlooking the beach, a guest favorite, heated for year round enjoyment.

This property offers a more relaxed, residential feel compared to larger resort style complexes, making it a great option for those who prefer a quieter and less crowded beach experience.

Stay connected with high speed fiber internet and enjoy smart TVs in both bedrooms along with a 75 inch screen in the living room.

You will be within walking distance to dining, shopping, and local attractions, while still enjoying a quieter stretch of beach. On site amenities also include a kiddie pool, grill area, gazebo, and shaded seating areas.

For added convenience, we provide games, books, and essential beach gear for guests to enjoy.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned condo, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy recreational amenities such as an outdoor pool and a fitness center.
Featured amenities include laundry facilities and an elevator.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay and beautiful views from the condo and balcony. When we weren’t at the pool or beach we were on the balcony relaxing. The beach and the pool were so close it took just minutes to walk to them. Beach chairs and an umbrella available so we didn’t have to bring our own. The building was quiet, furniture and beds very comfortable, and we had all that we needed in the kitchen for preparing meals. We would definitely stay here again. Our host was quick to respond to questions before and during our stay.

Absolutely loved our stay here! We always get a condo in Oceanhouse 2 and we were a little concerned about changing to a different one. But the whole family agrees it may be our favorite this far. Clean, well decorated, great location, and never needed to communicate or have any questions with any other booking. But we did have a few questions and the host was so helpful, quick to respond, and kind! 100% recommend and plan to come back!

Great view and we loved the balcony. We took a Segway tour at Gulf State Park. I highly recommend it. It was so fun. The four is great. We ate at as many different restaurants as we could. Every meal was wonderful. Our favorites were the Oyster House and Gallesy Irish Pub.

Perfect location on the beach with a gorgeous and spacious pool between the condo and the ocean. Phenomenal views and incredible vistas for sunrises and sunsets. Condo was well appointed and beds, bedding and pillows were dreamy! We would happily return to our new favorite beaches, Gulf Shores/ Orange Beach, and book our stay with Karin again.

We had the best time in this unit! The room itself was perfect for our family of 4. The beds were comfy and the furniture and decor was up to date and well kept. The elevators were very fast and never too crowded. The beach was only steps away and the pool was perfect! We will be back again next year.

This condo was accurately described and very clean! I loved the location & the short walk to the beach. Balcony seating had to be my favorite part, super comfy balcony seating!!

Oceanside Views & Stocked for Beach Fun!

My family and I (wife and two children ages 8 & 12) spent a little over a week in this condo in mid-April and could not have been happier. Weather was beautiful and all of the wonderful beach items in the closet on the balcony really cut down on the number of items we needed to travel with.Unit was nicely decorated, bedding was very comfortable, everything worked, internet was quick when I needed to do a little remote work on my laptop, and everything was very clean. Before our stay the host was great with communication and got us everything we needed well in advance of our trip. Highly recommended!

This is a great place a little ways from the business of Gulf Shores but close enough to stores and restaurants. The deck was a great place to sit and enjoy a meal or the sunshine. The communication with the owner was great!
