Gulf Shores Beachfront Condo | Gorgeous views and only steps to the sand!

View dolphins, terns, gulls, sandpipers, and other shorebirds from your 22 foot wide screened lanai. Walk directly out to the beach. In summertime manatees often swim past in shallow water.

Become one with nature as soothing ocean waves gently lap and crash against our beach shoreline, whispering in your ears.

See extraordinary sunsets almost every evening.

Breathtaking sunsets, strolls along the white, sandy beach, and the direct Gulf view are only a few of the perks of spending your vacation in this beautiful beachfront condo. Savor the warm, salty breeze as you relax on the lanai overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Soak up the sun and listen to the waves in a lounge chair or build sandcastles on the beach.

Our designer-decorated two-bedroom, two-bath + den direct Gulf front condo is in a small 12-unit complex - no crowds, just a quiet, peaceful beach with sea oats, dolphins, terns, gulls, pelicans shorebirds, sometimes a few old-time fishing boats, and even a few rare shorebirds such as American Oyster Catchers or Black Skimmers.

When you take a break from the beach, you can appreciate the spacious living room and newly remodeled kitchen with quartz countertops. Or cozy up with a book next to the fireplace in the den.

The two master bedroom suites, each with a dressing area, bathroom, and street-side balcony, are the perfect place to rest after a long day in the sun. Both bedrooms have striking white plantation shutters and luxury vinyl plank flooring.

The master bedroom, with a queen-size bed, and also has two dressers and a fully supplied desk and printer for your computer.

The second bedroom suite has two twin beds with coastal blue and white quilts and beach-style white furniture.

The lovely den has a new queen-size sleep sofa, a comfortable armchair, a fireplace, and a flat-screen TV on the wall.

Professional linen service provides the bed and bath linens as well as beach towels. There are ceiling fans in every room, including the bathroom dressing areas, and also 2 ceiling fans on the lanai.

Island Getaway
Gulf front is indeed 100% true, absolutely stunning and beautiful! Location and listing was as described! Did not encounter any major issues. Communication and check in very simple and straight forward! My only complaints are the fact that they don't supply you with enough towels, our group showered everyday, by the end of the first few days we were left scrambling for clean wasy cloth and towels. Considering that you provided your home and offer it as a business for people like us to rent, these minor details should be taken into account, especially at the higher price point. Also, maybe providing a nicer starter kit, laundry detergent, toilet paper, salt/pepper, etc, these small but very important details go such a long way for frequent vacationers like our group! Overall, beautiful property, wonderful place to relax and unwind!

Amazing!!
The unit was well equipped and perfect location on AMI. What the listing doesn’t say is that it has SO MUCH beach equipment!! Two umbrellas, at least six beach chairs (including two zero gravity loungers), plenty of boogie boards, noodles, tubes, lots of sand castle supplies and a sand wagon to tote it all. And having all the beach equipment in ground floor storage unit kept the living space free from sand. Perfect!!!

Nice property. Some minor cleanliness issues including a stained comforter on our bed. Linen quality isn’t as good as some other places and there was no additional toilet paper of paper towels in the unit - first world problems for sure.

Very nice unit. Spacious for our group of four adults. Right on the beach and in a quiet neighborhood. Balcony is screened in, which some may like, but I would have preferred it to be open air for better view lines.

We were pleased to find our location as pictured. The condo has updated kitchen, plenty of cooking and eating supplies, comfy beds, fans everywhere, yeah, washer dryer, unbelievable sunsets and softest white sand! Only negative is heavy traffic due to construction work. Otherwise a very nice place to stay.

Perfect Beach stay
We had the most pleasant beach week at your condo and cannot wait to return! The condo must have been recent remodeled because everything seemed brand new. The kitchen anticipated all our needs. The beds were comfortable. Management was attentive and quickly corrected a tv issue. The icing on the cake was the wall of glass that allowed us front row seats to a perfect sunset each night. If you are looking for a bit of old Florida, this is your haven.

Absolutely beautiful condo with a breathtaking view. We loved our stay in this beautifully decorated condo. It was well furnished and was spotlessly clean. It was a very short walk on to the beach and they even provided a wagon w/ beach chairs , umbrella ect. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Lovely and clean, on the beach
We chose this property about a month in advance as we had to change plans due to Hurricane Ian. I was a little worried because this unit was still available. We were absolutely pleased 100% with this unit. Being directly on the beach was the most important amenity for us. This unit delivered that. It was spotless, the kitchen was beautiful, furnishings felt new, more space than we really needed. Don't pass this one by!

Agree with other comments about the neighbor. Need to post the condo rules. We rented a golf cart, then found a NO golf carts rule. Great location and quiet. Could use an upgrade on the grill. Realtor was super helpful, 2 minor problems fixed very quickly. We would rent again.

Beautiful Unit with Amazing View
This condo is actually nicer and more specious than it looks at the pictures, they hardly reflect the WOW impression when you step into and see the ocean right in from of you . The unit is large, clean, beautifully decorated, the designer picked furniture is very comfortable and cozy. The kitchen is specious and well equipped. Having our morning coffee at the balcony was a favorite part of our day. Overall it was a very enjoyable week, we recommend this place to all the Beach lovers. Hope to be back one beautiful day!

Perfect…we’ll be back for sure!
As soon as we walked into the condo, we knew we’d be renting this one again! It was beautifully decorated and so well kept. So many thoughtful extras were included, like tons of books, a few games, lots of beach chairs/umbrellas/toys (even a wagon!) and a well equipped kitchen. The extra den with a door is a bonus for anyone needing a quiet place alone. The view was incredible. The beach was gorgeous and very uncrowded. Our neighbors were very quiet so our balcony time was so pleasant. It’s a quick 10 min walk to some very good ice cream, bike rentals and a few restaurants. We couldn’t stop saying how nice this place is. I highly recommend this rental!

Celebrating milestones
What a great family vacation we had at AMI! We celebrated our anniversary, our daughter's graduation from college, and our son's upcoming move to Chicago. The condo was great, and practically right on the beach. We played euchre most evenings, made some great meals, and all of us walked/ran on the beach every morning. We were a short drive to shops, restaurants, and ice cream and only minutes to the grocery. The condo is a short walk to some restaurants, like the Ugly Grouper and the Doctors Office for drinks, and very close to St. Bernard's where we went to church. We found about 20 sharks teeth and played Kadima and football every day. The place was perfect with 2 bedrooms. Our girls slept in one with 2 twins, and there was a den with a foldout couch and TV, where my son slept. We loved it and will definitely be back!

Gulf Shores at Holmes Beach
We've always rented our vacation property from VRBO and have never been disappointed, but were somewhat unhappy with certain aspects of the condo we rented this time. The condo did have all amenities listed, however, the place needs some serious cleaning and much needed TLC! We've also never rented a place that had so much of the property owners personal "stuff"! I suppose the owner spends a lot of time there and doesn't want to be hauling the "stuff" back and forth. We also found some dirty dishes and pots and pans, and had to wash them before we could use them. The view, however was wonderful! Down a few steps and you're toes are in the sand...walk right down to the ocean. That part was great. Also, a very quiet neighborhood.
