The Space:
THE UNIT
The upper unit of the green building, with nothing above you. Like every home here it sits on pilings; a wide spiral staircase (or the shared elevator) takes you up, and once inside, all living is on one floor. Custom built and detailed, bright and open, and roomy enough for several families. The kitchen has a fridge, two dishwashers, two ovens (one convection), microwave, Keurig Duo, air fryers and crockpots, plus a wet bar and a big dining table. Two sets of washers and dryers. Three king bedrooms, a bunk room with three full-over-full bunks, and a small room with a twin-over-twin closet bunk; four full baths and a half bath. Smart TVs come loaded with streaming apps, and there is 1 Gig fiber Wi-Fi with mesh throughout. A shared elevator runs from the parking level; it works with a key and has to be run exactly as posted, or it trips a breaker in a locked room. If that happens, message us and we will send the reset steps.
POOL & BEACH
The designer pool with waterfalls is shared by the four units on the property. It is not heated and is open all year, and the covered patio a few steps away lets you keep an eye on the kids. A bridge over the pool leads to the boardwalk, about a 2-minute walk to the beach. The closet outside the main door has a limited supply of beach towels, umbrellas, a cooler and games (it changes, so bring extra if you can); please leave them there at checkout.
OUTDOORS
Covered balcony looking over the Gulf and a shared propane grill at the bottom of the building (we supply the propane). It is rust resistant, but the salt air destroys everything, so while the outside may look great, the inside could have some rust. It is a good idea to put your food on aluminum foil inside the grill. Each unit has its own grilling utensils as well.
THE AREA
Tacky Jacks is right across the street, Fort Morgan Marina runs deep-sea and inshore fishing charters, Sassy Bass is 6 minutes away for Navy Cove oysters, historic Fort Morgan is 5 minutes away and the Dauphin Island ferry is 4 minutes away. Kiva Dunes golf is 8 minutes away and Peninsula Golf & Racquet 19. This is a quiet, remote stretch, perfect for a family getaway: downtown Gulf Shores is 18 miles (plan on about 30 minutes each way), Foley about 45 minutes, and the nearest Walmart 19 miles (it does grocery pickup and delivery).
Guest Access:
The whole upper unit of the green building is yours, with its own entrance and balcony; the pool and boardwalk are shared with the other three units. The lower unit of this building is rented separately by another company. Covered and open parking, with the A2 spot marked for you. Need more room? Oyster House B1 and B2 in the white building next door sleep 20 each, so you can book up to 60 between the three.
