About this property
The Shore Thing - Gulf Shores
- Welcome to our little corner of Gulf Shores — a fully renovated 2BR/2BA condo just across the street from the Gulf, with free parking and two pools (including a rare adults-only pool you won't find at most places here).
We're David & Claire, and we manage this place ourselves — no management company, no call center. When you message us, you're talking to the people who picked out every tile and stocked every drawer. Our guests notice the difference, and we think you will too.
