About this property

Gulf Front 2/2 | 20 Ft Balcony | On the Beach

  • Welcome to Ocean House I, a beautifully designed Gulf front retreat where the beach is only steps away. Located one mile west of The Hangout, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo places you close to Gulf Shores dining, shopping and attractions while offering a quieter place to relax. Gulf Shores has been recognized by U.S. News as one of the country’s top beach destinations.

    The 20-foot-wide, 154 square foot Gulf front balcony is accessible from both the living room and primary bedroom. Begin the morning with coffee overlooking the water, then return in the evening to relax as the sun goes down. Updated balcony furnishings provide comfortable seating for enjoying the view throughout the day.

    Inside, the condo feels more like a thoughtfully maintained second home than a typical full-time rental. The professionally designed living room features an Italian leather sofa, comfortable swivel chairs, a leather recliner, curated artwork and a clean coastal style.

    The refreshed second bedroom features two twin beds that can be positioned together for added space and flexibility. A 75-inch smart TV anchors the living room, with additional smart TVs in both bedrooms. High-speed fiber internet makes it easy to stay connected throughout your visit.

    Ocean House consists of only two buildings, and this condo is located in Ocean House I. Many owners live at the property rather than rent their condos, creating a more relaxed residential atmosphere. Even during peak season, the complex generally feels quieter and less crowded than many larger Gulf Shores resorts.

    One of the property’s greatest features is its large zero-entry Gulf front pool, heated for year-round enjoyment. Guests also have access to a kiddie pool, grill area, gazebo and shaded seating areas.

    Games, books and essential beach gear are provided for guests. Many of our guests return year after year for the Gulf front location, comfortable surroundings, exceptional pool and peaceful atmosphere.

Absolutely loved our stay here! We always get a condo in Oceanhouse 2 and we were a little concerned about changing to a different one. But the whole family agrees it may be our favorite this far. Clean, well decorated, great location, and never needed to communicate or have any questions with any other booking. But we did have a few questions and the host was so helpful, quick to respond, and kind! 100% recommend and plan to come back!

Spring Break

This is a great place a little ways from the business of Gulf Shores but close enough to stores and restaurants. The deck was a great place to sit and enjoy a meal or the sunshine. The communication with the owner was great!

Wonderful stay

This place was beautiful and cozy, just the perfect place to unwind and relax with my husband. It was a clean, more than well stocked and we felt like we were at home. The comfy seating on the balcony was highly favored, since we enjoyed spending much time there! This will be a new go to place if it’s available. Thank you Karin, I think you would be great friends!!!

Just steps from the beach

Great location for beach, restaurant's and for other activities in Gulf Shores. The condo itself was a great size for four adults. The condo could use a good deep cleaning. Overall it is a great condo and I would rent it again.
