There are four covered parking spaces at the front of the house and a large deck beneath the house that looks out onto the ocean. This makes for a fantastic area to dine, play games and relax in the shade. This area also features a fully functioning outdoor shower with hot and cold water.
Located in the desirable beach community of Surf Side Shores, just past the renowned World Class Kiva Dunes Golf course! Very close to a small local grocery/hardware/liquor and seafood shop when you don't want to drive into Gulf Shores. However, you are only 20 minutes to big chain grocery stores and restaurants. The best of both worlds. All the amenities but you are far enough away from the crowds to claim this as your own little piece of heaven.
Available for Saturday to Saturday weekly rental in the peak summer months. Minimum 4 days rental during other months, and please call if you have interest in monthly rental. No student groups are accepted at all, renters must be over 25 years to rent and prior to arrival we require a copy of the license of the person booking. Sorry, No Pets allowed and no smoking.
