🥳 Early Bird Sale. First 2! Wits End, East. 6BR. Pool. Awesome 2nd floor beach walkover!

Wits End, East Unit.
1433 West Beach Blvd. Gulf Shores, AL 36542

6BR 6BA. Beachfront. Pool. Multiple master suites. Big balconies. Big views. Big beach!

This listing is for the East side unit of Wits End.

One side perfect for your group? Then this East side of Wits End (6BR) may be just what you need! Or, check out Wits End's West side unit (6BR) — same great layout, same bedding, sleeps the same number, and same great amenities, so if one isn't available, grab the other--you can't go wrong! Or.... Go BIG and snag Wits End's East & West sides together in one listing. That's 12 BR, with hotel-style secure connecting door!

Check out the awesome beach walkover we put in. Walk out the main level living room, onto the deck, and over the walkover!

Don't forget, peak season is in swing and during peak season, we book Saturday to Saturday. So, if you're looking and don't see any availability, check to see if your stay duration falls under those parameters as that usually is the problem :) But, as always, feel free to reach out as we are always happy to help!

Relaxation awaits you at this fabulous beachside duplex. Each side of this beach home has 6 bedrooms and 6 baths, including 2 master suites.

2nd Floor North Bedroom, King with ensuite bath
2nd Floor Living Room. QSS
2nd Floor Den/Lounge, QSS

3rd Floor South Bedroom, King with ensuite bath
3rd Floor Middle Bedroom, Queen, with ensuite bath (shared with North BR)
3rd Floor North Bedroom, King, with ensuite bath (shared with Middle BR)

4th Floor South Bedroom, 2 Queens + Twin over Full Bunk with ensuite bath
4th Floor North Bedroom, 2 Queens + Bunk with ensuite bath

TWO REFRIGERATORS
Two? Per side? Yes two. Because you won't want to stay somewhere without an extra fridge once you have had them.

HEATABLE POOL
Private to the two sides of the duplex: no sharing with other places nearby. The pool is open all year. It's a big rectangle, 22x16x3-5' Rectangle. Lounge chairs are provided around the pool. Added a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps, and the same temp Disney uses for its pools!) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a nightly surcharge (varies by season and with gas market price, has been $60-85 per night, just inquire, and must be for length of stay (this is based on market pricing for propane gas, and can change at any time, both up and down, until added to a reservation). Fee subject to change due to incredibly high gas rates right now. Simply request the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and at least a week before check in so we can get it on before you arrive.

​​​​​​​Heatable pools in beach homes and duplexes are VERY RARE along the gulf. If a place doesn't mention it, it does NOT have one! Grab one with one while they last!

WIFI/INTERNET
YES! We have an awesome Eero mesh network to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home!? That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like? It is generally solid and ran > 250Mb down the last test--sufficient for several simultaneous video conference sessions for remote work and education. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests "troubleshooting" it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though!

PARKING
There is available onsite, offstreet, parking for at least 6 midsize vehicles (per side), more if you stack well. In duplex units, please be neighborly about this.

SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, GRILLS ETC ETC
As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a "starter supply" of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, grills are not provided, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have both drip coffee makers and Keurigs as well.

PETS
We do consider well-behaved canine furry friends at many locations. This requires owner pre-approval, and is subject to a pet fee (currently $250 per pet). Approval in a duplex location, especially for peak weeks, generally is only available for guests renting both sides of the duplex. Please inquire.

No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

Wit’s End was exactly as described in listing. We enjoyed the boardwalk over the dune to the beach and the shaded pool in the hot afternoon hours. The host gave excellent communication throughout the time leading up to the stay and the week of the stay. Would definitely rent again.

Management was incredibly responsive! We let them know about a bed spring broken and they had new ones delivered the next day. Also, asked for the pool to be heated after our first day and they immediately got it done. Great place for families. Several child locks on doors, access to the beach and the pool access. I felt very comfortable with our kids there.

Thoroughly enjoyed our time

Morning walks on the beach, chasing crabs at night, private pool, covered parking, room for your family and the in-laws (on separate floors, of course), this place has it all. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Wits End East. A short drive to all the popular Gulf Shores attractions, but far enough away from the crowds.

The chairs in the living room need replacing, as well as the rug. Very stained and dirty looking. There was a huge roach in the kitchen. There were 14 of us, and not enough towels. We had to wash several times. There was a hole in the wall behind the recliner. There was left debris on both sides of the boardwalk. (Broken umbrella, baby pool, cups, etc.). The trash cans outside stunk terribly! They need a good cleaning.
