Southern Sands 303 | Beachfront Gulf Shores Condo | Walk to The Hangout + Dining
Close to Town; Ultra Low-Density on the Beach; Only 18 Condos!.
Welcome to Southern Sands 303, a beachfront 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo in Gulf Shores with Gulf views, a private balcony, an outdoor pool, and one of the most walkable locations on West Beach.
Southern Sands is located just a few buildings west of The Hangout and the center of Gulf Shores, making it easy to leave the car parked and walk to restaurants, shopping, entertainment, ice cream, beach stores, and more.
This low-density beachfront complex has only 18 units, giving guests easy beach access without the feel of a large high-rise resort.
Southern Sands 303 is located on the 3rd floor and offers approximately 1,000 square feet of comfortable vacation space. The private balcony overlooks the beach, Gulf of Mexico, and community pool and includes a bar-height Polywood table and chairs plus a Polywood Adirondack chair.
The condo has received numerous interior updates, including both bathrooms updated in December 2025 and a refreshed living room with a solid wood plank accent wall and upgraded trim. The kitchen features granite countertops, a stainless steel flat-top range, stainless steel dishwasher, over-the-range microwave, refrigerator with ice maker, and USB charging outlets.
The living room includes a 50-inch Ultra HD Smart TV with DirecTV plus access to streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime using your own accounts. A Bluetooth tower speaker is also available.
Sleeping arrangements:
Primary Bedroom: Queen Nectar mattress with hybrid coils 50-inch Smart TV USB charging Private bathroom with whirlpool tub
Bedroom 2: Two Twin 12-inch Premium Nectar mattresses 50-inch Smart TV DVD/Blu-ray capability Bluetooth speaker and USB charging

Southern Sands is directly beachfront and offers an outdoor swimming pool, charcoal BBQ grills, elevator access, and on-site parking.
Parking permits are $42 each, with a maximum of 2 vehicles.
Shared full-size washer and dryer facilities are available on each floor and accept credit/debit cards. Laundry is approximately $3 per cycle.
Wi-Fi is included, and a tap-to-connect Wi-Fi block is located near the front door for easy connection.
Southern Sands is now a completely smoke-free property. Smoking is not allowed inside the condo, on balconies, or elsewhere on the property except in the covered designated smoking area near the BBQ area.
Location is one of the biggest advantages of Southern Sands 303. The complex is located along West Beach Boulevard just west of the main Gulf Shores intersection and is within easy walking distance of The Hangout, Gulf Shores Public Beach, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, ice cream, and local beach stores.
Island Outfitters is directly across the street, with additional food and treats located about half a block away.
For guests searching for a Gulf Shores beachfront condo where you can walk instead of drive everywhere, Southern Sands 303 is an excellent choice.
