Family Beach Memories Start Here. Adventure Fun

Experience the quieter side of Gulf Shores with a stay at our private beachfront location. Revel in the luxury of a less crowded beach, creating an intimate and exclusive atmosphere for you and your loved ones.

Cozy and inviting vacation home with comfortable living spaces and beautiful outdoor views makes a great place to vacation. Enjoy the easy access to the beach and take a romantic walk at sunset or enjoy a hot coffee at sunrise. The kiddos will enjoy and appreciate the close proximity of the large family pool. At the end of the day enjoy the shade in our east facing balcony or If you would prefer it is a short walk to the indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, and fitness center. We also have tennis courts, Basketball hoops, shuffleboard, and horse shoe pits located at the entrance of the complex.

The master bedroom has a queen size bed and private bathroom. The second bedroom has a bunk bed with a twin on top, a queen on the bottom and also a twin-size trundle.

The complex has private beach access to the White Sands of the Gulf of Mexico. It is just a short walk to the boardwalk and down to the beach.

Our stay was fun and relaxing.

My family and I had a great time during our stay at Gulf Shores. We enjoyed the quiet and relaxing atmosphere Michael’s condo provides. We had a great view of the ocean from the balcony. The beach and multiple pools were just a short walk away. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay at A Great Place

We booked at the sands of Bama for 5 days to enjoy our first family vacation with our two kiddos. It was a perfect trip, with all of the amenities we could have asked for. From the pools both outdoor & indoor (great for a rain day), to the complimentary beach wagon with toys, to the convenient location being the perfected balance of secluded/private, yet not to far from all of the fun. We will definitely be back to stay soon!

Great Stay

We stayed for a week in the fall, It was a great time with perfect weather. We aren’t into big crowds, etc, and the location of the condo was PERFECT. It was perfect for families, relaxation, and not bad distance into the town for all the extra fun. Our room was fully stocked with appliances and utensils, tvs in every room, and a storage room filled with beach fun and necessities! The host was super responsive, and very informative and helpful!

Our stay was wonderful!

The property was great! The room was clean and had everything we needed for our trip. We like that it was not in the middle of the tourism scene! We were able to go to the beach each day and not have to fight for a decent spot. It was a little drive to all the restaurants and shops, but we didn’t mind one bit! There was a dollar general about 1.5 miles away for any emergencies! My toddler LOVED the large outdoor pool! The gradual incline made her feel confident in being in the pool and let her be able to swim as much as she wanted while she could still touch the bottom! Overall, we had the best experience!

Great beach getaway

Very nice condo. We stayed with grandkids over Easter break. Cute bunk beds for kids, nice MBR for us and separate! Everything needed there..beach towels, beach chairs, wagon, toys for kids. Thank goodness cause we could not have fit anything else in our car! Nice view to gulf, short walk to pools and Sandy beach. The beach was large area with very white sand. The outdoor pool was huge with both a kids area and adult area. There was also large indoor pool for kids. Very nice resort property and fit all our needs. Would definitely stay again! Easy and clear instructions from owner as to directions and access. Did not need to contact during stay.

Great vacation

This condo is off the beaten path which was perfect for us. The property had pools, a restaurant, a coffee and ice cream shop, plus sports courts, not to mention easy access to the beach. The condo itself is updated and furnished nicely. Comfortable furniture, stocked kitchen, and a lot of small touches such as coffee provided, a few snacks, towels and beach necessities. Perfect for a family with children.
