About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.
This condo's great location gets high marks from our customers. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Gulf Shores Beach. You'll find features such as an outdoor pool, a gym and laundry facilities. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the condo.

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.

Spring Break

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!
