Gulf-front beach house for 17 with elevator & multiple decks!

Right on the sands of Gulf Shores, Life’s a Beach is the ideal setting for a sun-soaked getaway with family and friends. This spacious 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom beach house sits right on the sugar-white sands of the Gulf of Mexico in Gulf Shores, Alabama, offering incredible water views and direct beach access. Enjoy breathtaking Gulf views from the middle and top decks, plus a beachside deck designed for gaming and gathering. With space for up to 17 guests, this home is perfect for making lifelong memories. Near the heart of Gulf Shores, you're just a short drive from great restaurants, shopping, and attractions in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

This three-story retreat was built for relaxation, offering spectacular Gulf views. Whether you're soaking up the sun, unwinding with loved ones, or enjoying the soothing waves, this home is the perfect escape.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll love the welcoming layout. The ground floor features back patio access, a single-car garage, and an east garage converted into a hangout space. A two-person elevator adds convenience. Step outside to a covered patio with a pub table, dining table, and enclosed outdoor shower. The east garage includes a secondary fridge, game table, half bath, and cushioned seating. Fire up the propane BBQ grill for easy outdoor meals.

The middle level hosts four guest suites, each with an attached bath. Three of these rooms feature direct Gulf views and deck access.

Guest Bedroom 1: 1 King, twin, TV, Gulf views, deck access, and a five-piece bath with dual vanities, walk-in shower, jetted tub, makeup area, walk-in closet (with crib), and bidet.
Guest Bedroom 2: 1 King, TV, Gulf views, deck access, and a bath with a large walk-in shower.
Guest Bedroom 3: 1 King, twin, trundle, TV, Gulf views, deck access, and a bath with a jetted tub.
Guest Bedroom 4: 1 Queen, Little Lagoon views, and a bath with an oversized walk-in shower, rain shower, and massage shower head. Also accessible from the hallway.
Bonus area (top level): Open common space with a queen pullout sectional, TV, and direct Gulf view. French door access to the top-level deck.

The middle level also includes an elevator stop and a full-size washer and dryer for added convenience.

The top floor is where everyone will gather, featuring a massive open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with panoramic Gulf views. The gourmet kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, glassware, high-end appliances, and two large islands, each with four barstools. The dining table seats ten, with additional seating at the breakfast bar. Lounge on the plush leather sectional or dine out on the Gulf-facing deck, where Polywood lifeguard-style chairs provide the perfect spot to take in the coastal views.

This level also features the Master Suite, complete with a king bed, full day bed w/ twin trundle, TV, Gulf views, French door access to the top-level deck, and an ensuite bathroom. A second washer and dryer set is also on this level.

Gulf Shores isn’t just a beach destination, it’s a place to create unforgettable moments. Start your day with a peaceful walk along the shoreline as dolphins frolic in the surf. Spend the afternoon building sandcastles, floating in the warm Gulf waters, or trying paddleboarding. As the sun sets, gather on the deck with a charcuterie board and your favorite drinks while the sky transforms into a breathtaking blend of pink and orange hues.

For those eager to explore, you’re minutes from seafood restaurants, boutique shops, and attractions like the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, Waterville USA, and the Gulf State Park Pier. Whether you’re seeking adventure or a laid-back retreat, this beachfront home is the perfect backdrop for your getaway.

Great family vacation

Our group of 14 enjoyed a week in this home and enjoyed every second. It was all we could've asked for and more. The location was great, almost felt like we had the beach to ourselves.

Amazing Stay!

This house was everything we needed and more! We had 5 adults and 3 children and there was plenty of room for everyone. The location of the house is further down the strip which was great because it wasn't as populated and it seemed like we almost had the beach to ourselves. It was an awesome stay and we will most definitely stay there again!

Great getaway for our family.

Working with Solux was a great experience. They were always prompt with notifications and any questions I had about the property. Check-in and check-out were amazingly easy. The property had an amazing view and had a spacious living, dining and kitchen. Worked great for our family of 10. We would difinitely use them again.

Family Stay

Our group was comprised of 4 families with a mix of adults and kids. The house is as nice as advertised. The place is in great shape, along with the kitchen being well stocked with needed cooking supplies, etc. The beach was immediately accessible from the back porch. Because the stretch of beach the house is on is only compromised of houses and no condos, there were few people on the beach and we felt as though we had the entire water front to ourselves. The rental was perfect for our stay.

Life’s A Beach is great for large groups.

Life’s A Beach is great for large groups. The elevator was a godsend. We had the beach to our selves. The first day there was an air conditioning problem and they had a service person there within two hour of notifying the manager on a Friday night.

We had a wonderful time. We had plenty of room, there were beautiful views from all areas of the house. They had 3 refrigerators, with 2 of them being downstairs. The 3 person elevator was definitely a plus. There are no grab bars in the bathrooms, so if you have an elderly person with you, just keep that in mind. There were some minor issues with loose towel bars and a broken shelf in refrigerator, and they were all addressed. The gas grill was not cleaned and it was actually a fire hazard, with flames coming out due to the grease not being cleaned out for a very long time. We think that they need to buy a new grill, as it was falling apart. So if grilling is important to you, make sure you address that with the host. Even with these issues, we would stay again.

Perfect for us!!

For us, the location was perfect for everything we wanted to enjoy. The house is gorgeous with a fantastic floor plan. We had a 2 year old with us and we spent a lot of time keeping her off the stairs...toddler life! My elderly parents were also with us and the elevator was the only reason they could come, worth every penny!! We are all talking about our next stay here and we just got home. The views are magnificent. The beach is not crowded in this area at all. Would highly recommend!!

What an AMAZING Stay!

This pictures in the listing does not do this house justice. It is far more impressive in person! The elevator is a game changer especially with the kitchen and living room being on the third floor. The communication was great with Polly. Check in and check out was a breeze. I did have to call her on the phone one time to clarify something and she was awesome and a pleasure to talk to. If you're looking for a beach house to take a large family to then this is one you need to look at!

GAME CHANGING HOUSE!

This is an AMAZING house we really have no complaints about anything! The furniture and appliances are very new and up to date and the decor was nice as well. The beds are insanely comfortable (no box spring so memory foam?) We have a nephew that requires everything handicap accessible due to his medical condition. With that it was a breath of air when him and his wheelchair both fit into the elevator. Most houses that clam to be handicap accessible are not and the elevator is smaller than a broom closet. So again big thank you and shout out to the owners who can claim that statement with confidence. Also there is so much room everywhere and the double garage was also something we have never had on a beach house. The only thing our family would have liked to see was a handicap accessible boardwalk from the hiuse to the beach. The dunes are very steep and have a few turns that is was a little difficult to get onto the beach. Overall our experience was more than pleasant! I would recommend this house to everyone and we hope we get the chance to stay here again!!
