Avocet- Beachfront, Private Pool
Favorite part was that it was so close to the beach. I wish the pool had a heated option since it was a bit chilly the week we were there. The house was very clean but had some signs of wear that could be updated, but for the price we were still very happy with it!

Gulf Shores Plantation ~ Resort Conference Center #1169
Cozy studio condo. Perfect for two people. Great access to a beautiful beach and there’s a nice pool right outside the door. The property is showing it’s age and the furnishings could use some TLC.

Sunsets and Relaxation await - Spot of Sun Bay Cottage
We loved our stay and it was really hard to leave. The house is in a great location. I really enjoyed sitting on the back deck watching the herons and pelicans. We had the best seats on the dock to watch the sunsets every evening. I felt so relaxed after this trip.
