PRIME SPOT!!! 3BR/2BA Condo Overlooking Pool & Across from Beach!

*MUST BE 25+ TO BOOK!!!* Come to the beautiful beaches of Gulf Shores and stay in our recently updated, owner managed, cottage-style townhome with an ocean and lagoon view! You will enjoy easy, walking distance access to the beach, restaurants, shopping, and more! The sugary white sandy beaches and emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico are directly across the street! Getting to the beach is safe and easy thanks to the dedicated pedestrian light and crosswalk. The beach is just a 2 min walk and is staffed by lifeguards, for your safety and also has a boardwalk, a bath house, and chairs/umbrellas for rent. The Hangout/center of town is just a 14 min walk away where you will find numerous restaurants, live music, souvenir shops, and the locations of the famous Hangout Festival and Shrimp Festival. A 5 min walk from our place will bring you to Bahama Bob’s for delicious seafood, Pier 33 for groceries and souvenirs, West Beach Coffee House, and Seaside Package for all your beverage needs. Other attractions such as Waterville USA, the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, mini-golf, The Wharf, The Track, and the Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge are only a short drive away.

The Sands complex has a shared pool for you to enjoy when you’ve had enough of the sand and saltwater and a sand volleyball court with hammocks, picnic tables, and outdoor grills! There are 2 reserved parking spaces underneath the unit and on-site parking for extra vehicles and/or other toys with no parking passes needed! It is located on West Beach sandwiched between the Gulf of Mexico and Little Lagoon. Boat access is not far away and arrival to The Sands during busy festival weekends is a breeze via Windmill Ridge Rd. This small, quite complex has just 16 units and is ideal for families. There are no slow, smelly elevators to wait for. Just park directly underneath and walk right in!

Unit 119 is situated in the back corner of the complex and away from both nearby streets. It has been conveniently outfitted with keyless entry so you don’t have to worry about losing keys. This unit is 2 story, with 2 flights of stairs, and no one above or below you. It has 2 private balconies, which directly overlook the pool so you can keep an eye on the little ones. The unit comes stocked with bed linens, bath towels and cloths, beach towels, and beach sheets. The kitchen has an electric griddle, blender, cast iron skillets, a crock-pot, and more! You will also find a starter supply of paper towels, laundry and dish washing detergent, soap, shampoo, and conditioner in the bathrooms. There are enough beds to sleep 10 adults and/or children. This is a NON-SMOKING unit.

GROUND/PATIO LEVEL:
Here you will find a bonus area not often found at most locations! This is a great space ideal for watching TV, eating around the outdoor dining table, and hanging out while the kids play in the pool nearby without having to go back and forth into the house! There is an outdoor TV, an outdoor shower, and beach supplies for your use.

MAIN LEVEL:
On the main floor, you will find a recently updated, well stocked kitchen with stainless appliances, granite counter tops, a pantry, and plenty of cabinet space. The living area is spacious with a sofa and loveseat, a recliner, TV, and balcony access overlooking the pool. The main level also has 1 queen bedroom with new Sealy Posturepedic plush mattress with attached full bath.

Upstairs you will find a large and spacious master bedroom with a closet, a TV, attached full bath, and balcony access. The master bed has a new Sealy Posturepedic pillowtop king mattress.

Gulf Shores Softball/Vacation Trip
Blake's condo at the Sands was perfect for our trip to Gulf Shores. Condo was as advertised, clean, and in a great location within walking distance to beach and the Hang Out. Entry was easy and never had a problem communicating with owners. Will definitely try to use again when in Gulf Shores.

Great visit!
My family spent a week at the property and was very happy with the cleanliness, safety and location of the property. The property (kitchen, bathrooms, etc) were clean upon arrival. The area (beach, streets, etc.) seemed very safe. My family felt safe walking the streets at night. The location was awesome - super close to the beach and walking distance to restaurants and shops. Blake was a great host and would recommend this VRBO.

Spring break
We drove from Kentucky for spring break with the kids. The condo was wonderful, upstairs and downstairs private patio area lots of beach toys. Very close to the beach. Large pool and deck. We will definitely stay here again. The kitchen had everything you needed and more. Two balconies overlooking the pool and a sand volleyball area close by. I’m rambling but I can’t say enough good things. It was more like home than a condo.

This was perfect for our stay
The location was right across the street from the beach. From a 2 minute walk to the beach,to a 3 minute drive to the Hangout. I was highly impressed with our stay. I highly recommended this location and it will be my first choice to stay the next time that I go to Gulf Shores. The host were there for me with any questions that I had. They made our stay much easier.

The calm after the storm
We arrived just after a major storm had blown through. Luckily we arrived after the lightening had struck the building. Unfortunately the lightening strike took out the router and the HDMI ports on a couple of the tvs. We messaged Blake when we arrived and noticed we were unable to watch tv or connect to wifi. He was amazing with trying to trouble shoot over the phone and had someone there the next day to replace the router and try to get the tvs up and working. Unfortunately the lightening took some things out and they weren't fixable. But what was fixable was fixed lightening fast. The location is AMAZING! With having kids with us it was great to have an intersection right there with a crosswalk over to the beach access. The pool was nice and our condo neighbors even played football with the kids from their balcony. They actually aren't far from us and we have a playdate set up. Down the street was an awesome little store called Pier 33. We walked down just about every night for candy or ice cream cause that is essential when on vacation. The kitchen had everything we needed to make food to help our vacation budget out and we were impressed there were kitchen hand towels there. (Every vacation rental we've had previously we've had to go buy some lol) As a "big girl" the bathroom was a bit small for me but hey if that's the biggest complaint I can find I'll take that as a win. Unfortunately my husband now wants a new mattress though. Those mattresses were amazing.

Fun Vacation
Pros of this property: -Pool was great. Kids loved having it right there. I could watch them from the balcony. -Easy access to beach and owners give you access to their beach toys. -Very convenient location. -Place is pretty spacious and we had what we needed. -Nice master bedroom. -Owner very responsive. Cons of this property: -Faint smell of cigarettes every time you re-enter until you get used to it. -Kitchen is extremely disorganized. -Master is upstairs sharing bathroom with bunk room. So my husband and I opted for the downstairs bedroom with our own bathroom. That room is pretty small, and we couldn’t get the TV to work.

Great location!
This location serves as a prime spot for beach access and the strip! The property certainly could use some maintenance and deep cleaning. The laundry door was broken, no smoke alarm upstairs, and the fridge light was hanging down. There was a spilled drink behind the couch that appears to have been there a long time. I as a nurse, did not feel this place not deep cleaned/disinfected for covid precautions as it was promised. While looking past the cleanliness issue we did have a great time and enjoyed our stay. I would even consider this spot again, if it was deep cleaned.
