A balcony with a view of a multi-story building with a blue exterior and white railings.
The Gulf has a way of making itself known — even from the balcony, the view, the sound, and the air all tell the same story. The beach is steps away, but the feeling starts right here.
A modern kitchen with a central island, a microwave, and a sink. There is a dining area with a table and chairs, and a living room with a sofa and a coffee table. The walls are painted in light blue and white, and there is a 'Welcome' sign on the wall.

Private Beach | 2 Pools | Beach Gear | Walkable- Best Location on West Beach!

This 2-bedroom, 1-bath Gulf Shores condo is set up for easy family beach trips, and it's just as comfortable for a quiet couples' getaway or a small group — easy mornings, sandy afternoons, pool breaks, simple meals, and a comfortable place to land at the end of the day.



BEACH GEAR, READY WHEN YOU ARE

• Updated vanity and hair dryer



PRIVATE BALCONY

• Overlooks the pool with a peek of the Gulf

WHERE YOU’LL BE / LOCATION

• Gulf Shores, Alabama, at Lani Kai on West Beach Blvd

• Private HOA beach access: across West Beach Blvd, about a 2-minute walk. It’s a 4-lane road, so most guests walk one block to the traffic light for an easier crossing.

• Pier 33 for groceries, beach supplies, snacks, and quick essentials: about a 3–5 minute walk

• Downtown Gulf Shores, restaurants, souvenir shops, and entertainment: about 0.5–1 mile away

• The Hangout (home of Sand In My Boots Festival 2027) is 0.7 miles away

• Restaurants, coffee, ice cream, and beach shops: walkable

• Larger grocery stores like Rouses, Publix, and Walmart: about a 5–10 minute drive



"Having the beach literally right across the street and all the beach things there and ready to go was a huge plus." (Bailey, family of 5)



Guest access

• Self check-in with a keypad lock. Your four-digit code arrives on check-in day.

• Enter the code, wait for the Schlage button to turn green, and turn the thumbturn left. Please lock the door each time you leave.

• Parking: One spot under the building. It's a little snug for large SUVs. The first parking pass is included with your reservation. A second parking pass can be purchased for $30.

• You'll hear from us before you arrive, and we're a quick text away during your stay.



Other things to note

• Second floor, one flight of stairs, no elevator

• A rental agreement is required within 48 hours of booking

• No third-party bookings. Whoever books must be present for the stay.

• No pets, per our HOA

• Quiet hours: 10 PM–8 AM

• Travel insurance is recommended, especially during hurricane season



FALL + EXTENDED STAYS

Fall is one of our favorite times in Gulf Shores: warm water, quieter beaches, and an easier pace than peak summer. We welcome October, November, winter, and extended stays when the calendar allows. If you’re looking for a monthly stay, snowbird-friendly condo, remote-work beach stay, or a peaceful place to land after changed travel plans, send an inquiry with your preferred dates.

Wonderful location and beautiful condo!

We absolutely loved our stay at Lani Kai! The condo had everything we needed and Alicia (our host) was so perfect to work with! The location was amazing….right across the street from the beach. Alicia provided beach chairs and a beach buggy to use….it was everything we needed. We will definitely stay there again!! Thank you Alicia!

Everything we needed

We stayed during a baseball tournament and appreciated the easy access, the washer/dryer, and the ability to stay for our preferred time (4 days — not a whole week). Alicia was incredibly responsive when we had questions. Thank you!

Great place, excellent customer service!

Nice and clean property, as advertised! Real personal service with a person who has command of the English language. Typical southern hospitality. A can opener would be nice. Enjoy my baked beans. LOL

Just Precious!

Our stay was outstanding! This condo is just precious and is exactly as listed. We had everything we needed. I loved the little coffee bar and the fact that I found an oscillating fan in the master bedroom closet. I can’t sleep without the white noise. The beds are very comfy, and I slept peacefully through the night. I would definitely rent this condo again. As an added bonus, Alicia, our host, was amazing and made sure to check in on us.

A hidden Gem

Alicia made this a five star vacation for us. The kitchen was fully equiped, we had lots of towels and blankets and she was very quick to resolve any issues. The living room remote was not functioning and the next day they brought in a new tv and remote. Could not ask for better. We will be back.

This property was wonderful. I would stay here again. Alicia was great, answered questions promptly. The price was way under what we would have paid The HOA SUCKED. Charged 200 dollars a day for a 7 lb puppy. Yes that’s 1400 dollars for the stay. Paid 700 told them if they wanted additional 700 sue me. True Karen’s

Excellent and beautiful

We were very pleases with all communications with Alicia and the promptness of return phone calls, texts etc. The property and all the accommodations were great - lacking for nothing! Beautiful area with lots to do. The weather could have been better but we had family and friends in the area and we made do. All the pictures we saw on line were exactly what the property looked like. Alicia was very helpful during our stay...made us feel like family! We had a chance to actually meet cleaning staff who were also very friendly and easy to talk to. Will definetly go back!!!!!

Best spot in Gulf shores

This was our second time staying in this unit but first with Alicia hosting. She surpassed our expectations and were truly a joy to work with. Everything we could’ve needed was taken care of and was very prompt in their replies. The condo location can’t be beat (this is our third time at Lana Kai). You’re a short walk from the beach, directly on the lagoon and right next to 6th street which allows you to beat the traffic of the main road. The condo is stocked with everything you need for the beach and has so many different kitchen appliances for you to choose from that makes cooking a breeze. We loved our time here and will be returning soon.

Blue Palms was in a great location and quiet. There was no loud noise from nearby guest so we enjoyed peaceful evening/nights. The pool was clean, well lit and gated. There is even a second pool for adults only. BBQ puts were easily accessible and well maintained. The beach access was directly across the highway but for a safe pass I recommend walking the block to the nearest red light.
