*MUST BE 21+ TO BOOK!!!* Come to the beautiful beaches of Gulf Shores and stay in our recently updated, owner managed, cottage-style townhome with an ocean and lagoon view! You will enjoy easy, walking distance access to the beach, restaurants, shopping, and more! The sugary white sandy beaches and emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico are directly across the street! Getting to the beach is safe and easy thanks to the dedicated pedestrian light and crosswalk. The beach is just a 2 min walk and is staffed by lifeguards, for your safety and also has a boardwalk, a bath house, and chairs/umbrellas for rent. The Hangout/center of town is just a 14 min walk away where you will find numerous restaurants, live music, souvenir shops, and the locations of the famous Hangout Festival and Shrimp Festival. A 5 min walk from our place will bring you to Bahama Bob’s for delicious seafood, Pier 33 for groceries and souvenirs, West Beach Coffee House, and Seaside Package for all your beverage needs. Other attractions such as Waterville USA, the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, mini-golf, The Wharf, The Track, and the Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge are only a short drive away.

The Sands complex has a shared pool for you to enjoy when you’ve had enough of the sand and saltwater and a sand volleyball court with hammocks, picnic tables, and outdoor grills! There are 2 reserved parking spaces underneath the unit and on-site parking for extra vehicles and/or other toys with no parking passes needed! It is located on West Beach sandwiched between the Gulf of Mexico and Little Lagoon.

You will also find a starter supply of paper towels, laundry and dish washing detergent, soap, shampoo, and conditioner in the bathrooms. There are enough beds to sleep 10 adults and/or children. This is a NON-SMOKING unit.

The rental was clean and check-in /checkout was seamless. However, it is definitely not designed for anyone with any kind of physical limitations. The entrance just to get into the condo was very steep and difficult to carry luggage. The upper floor was very warm at night even with the AC on in October.

Excellent condo that’s right across the street from the beach! Condo was clean and recent renovations made this a wonderful place to stay. 4 adults and 4 kids were very comfortable. Real close to all the restaurants and things to do, but wasn’t too busy or loud.We would absolutely stay here again and will be checking availability next time we come back to visit Gukf Shores.

Renovated and Ready for Your Stay!

This property is exactly as described and shown in the pictures. The condo appears to have been recently renovated and offers spacious living quarters. From outside, you walk upstairs and enter the kitchen with a bedroom and full bath to the right and a nice sized living room on the left. Stairs are located around the corner which carries you to two large bedrooms upstairs that share a Jack and Jill styled bathroom. Beach access is right access the street. Very nice property and host. Will do business with again!

Gulf Shores Softball/Vacation Trip

Blake's condo at the Sands was perfect for our trip to Gulf Shores. Condo was as advertised, clean, and in a great location within walking distance to beach and the Hang Out. Entry was easy and never had a problem communicating with owners. Will definitely try to use again when in Gulf Shores.

Great visit!

My family spent a week at the property and was very happy with the cleanliness, safety and location of the property. The property (kitchen, bathrooms, etc) were clean upon arrival. The area (beach, streets, etc.) seemed very safe. My family felt safe walking the streets at night. The location was awesome - super close to the beach and walking distance to restaurants and shops. Blake was a great host and would recommend this VRBO.

Spring break

We drove from Kentucky for spring break with the kids. The condo was wonderful, upstairs and downstairs private patio area lots of beach toys. Very close to the beach. Large pool and deck. We will definitely stay here again. The kitchen had everything you needed and more. Two balconies overlooking the pool and a sand volleyball area close by. I’m rambling but I can’t say enough good things. It was more like home than a condo.
