Beachfront! Near Town! Views! Heated Pool! 5Bd/3Bth #7

You will absolutely love staying at Blue Parrot #7, which is right on the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Blue Parrot #7 appeared on the TV show "Island Life" (Season 4 Episode 9). This beautiful spacious gulf front 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home sleeps 14 and is complete with everything you need to have a perfect beach vacation. The shared beach front swimming pool with comfortable lounge chairs is perfect for relaxing and playing (pool heater gas charge is $60/day extra). The two beautiful large decks provide uninterrupted breathtaking Gulf views of the sparkling waters and serene sugar white sand. The first level of the home offers a spacious and fully equipped kitchen. The lovely dining table seats eight and a cozy breakfast bar seats four. The large and open living area provides spectacular Gulf front views. (From the pool view, the unit is the right side of the duplex.)

As of January 2025, all furniture in the home is new except for the kitchen table. Also, all bathrooms have gone through full or partial renovations (new countertops, mirrors, faucets and light fixtures). [The exterior was painted from yellow to light turquoise. The video still needs to be updated.]

Inquire for monthly rates in January and February only.

The main level of the home features 2 bedrooms, a full bath, a kitchen, a dining area and a living room. The first bedroom on the main level has a king size bed and full size bath. The second bedroom on the main level is just off of the kitchen area and has two twin bunk beds. The second level of the home features 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king size bed, a private bath and a private Gulf front deck. The middle bedroom has a queen size bed and the north bedroom has a king size bed and they share a full size bathroom between these two rooms. The layout and design of Blue Parrot #7 are perfect for comfort, privacy and entertaining. Located in the heart of Gulf Shores, only 1.8 miles from Highway 59, Blue Parrot #7 is a perfect beach house with all of the comforts and luxuries of home.

For technology lovers, the home has internet download speeds up to 1 GB and all 6 televisions are HD Smart TVs each with YouTube TV provided and access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc.

The unit comes with bed linens (pillow cases, sheets and blankets) and bathroom linens (bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths, and bath mats). Beach towels are not provided. One roll of toilet paper is provided per bathroom. Wash cloths, dish towels, a roll of paper towels, a packet of dish washing detergent and a small bottle of dish washing liquid are provided for the kitchen.

The unit also has a very large ground level storage room we call the "toy room" (see picture). It is stocked with beach chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, beach toys and pool toys for use by guests. This gives you more space in your vehicle during travel since you do not have to bring these items with you. You can also use this room to store your own things so you don't have to carry them inside the living space.

For those with air sensitivities, all the duct work in the attic was recently replaced and the 1st floor duct work was recently cleaned.

A gas grill is provided and the natural gas is provided as well.

We also own the Blue Parrot #8, the other side of this duplex.

The AC does not have a min/max block so you can cool the unit to your desired temperature.

We look forward to hearing from you so we can help you have the greatest beach vacation ever!

Had a wonderful time on our trip. Location is awesome & lots of sleeping space for a big family. Pool was so nice after being at beach all day.

We enjoyed our stay! It was a very spacious property. Plenty of rooms which all had TVs. We enjoyed the fully stocked beach closet and beach towels. The kitchen was fully stocked! We were able to pack less than normal. Great location to walk to ice cream, restaurant and store. The heated pool worked out great this time of the year. The home is right on the beach. My dad who has a hard time walking in the sand made it out two days this trip which was huge. We will be back!!

Our multi-generational family of 13 had a great week at this lovely home in Gulf Shores. We had everything we needed including baby items for the 10 month old. The beach toy closet was very helpful for pool floats, beach chairs, etc. it was so convenient to be so close to the beach and to have the pool. We made lots of great memories this week.

This rental was amazing! It had everything a family with young kids on a beach vacation could ever want! The rooms were pretty, comfortable, and clean. The storage room with beach equipment along with included high chair, pack n play, and booster seat made this the most convenient rental. You absolutely cannot beat the location and scenery. We will stay here again!

We had a great time. There was plenty of room for everyone. One room has a king bed and plenty of room for 2 pack-n-plays. The bunk bed room was perfect for the kids to play their games and relax. When the waves were rough the kids enjoyed the pool.

This was our second year year to rent this property. It’s conveniently located, and just what we needed for our group. It was like “coming home!” I would possibly ask for an updated mattress in the back room upstairs..other than that, zero complaints!

First time in Gulf Shores for our family vacation and it was amazing and the Blue Parrot was a major reason why. Condo was clean, had everything we needed and more, Great lication. We paid to heat the pool and it was definitely worth it. Everything was as described. We brought some pool and beach toys and definitely did not need to. Will definitely return someday! ☀️
