2Min Walk to Beach | Beach Gear Included | 2Pools- Best Location on West Beach!

Planning a Gulf Shores trip with kids? You want it close to the beach — and easy to manage.

At The Blue Palm at Lani Kai, you’re only a 2-minute walk to private beach access (just across West Beach Blvd). Beach wagon, chairs, and toys are already here. Two pools on property. A full kitchen for early breakfasts. Space to sleep 6 comfortably.

Pack lighter. Stress less. Actually relax.

FULL DESCRIPTION
KEY FEATURES

• About a 2-minute walk to private beach access (across West Beach Blvd)
• Beach wagon, 4 chairs, toys & boogie boards included
• Two pools (family + adult-only)
• Sleeps up to 6
• Fully stocked kitchen
• In-unit washer & dryer
• Private balcony with pool + peek of Gulf views

About That Beach Walk

Yes, you do cross West Beach Blvd — but it’s a short, straightforward walk from the building.

Close enough that if someone forgets a toy, needs the bathroom, or hits meltdown mode… you’re back inside in minutes. No loading up the car. No packing everything twice.

That’s what families tell us makes the biggest difference.

WHAT MAKES STAYING HERE EASIER

You’re probably wondering:

Is it actually close?
Yes. It’s about a 2-minute walk. We’ve timed it.

Do I need to pack beach gear?
Nope. Wagon, 4 chairs, toys and boards are already here.

What about early breakfasts or late-night snacks?
Full kitchen. Go for it.

Will the host respond if I have questions?
Yes. I answer quickly — usually within hours, often sooner.

I designed this place for families who want less stress and more actual vacation.

FROM ME
Hi, I’m Alicia. I created this space for the mom who wants things to feel simple — close to the beach, less packing, fewer logistics, and a host who actually answers messages. If you have questions before booking, just reach out. I’m happy to help.

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!

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

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!!!!!

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!

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

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.

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.

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.
