Super Cute and Beachfront

The Highlights

Retreat from it all at this one-story beach front delight! What's the point of staying directly on the beach if you don't have loads of outdoor space. And this home has loads of outdoor living space, both covered and uncovered. Dine, read, gaze at the surf or just relax in a lounger. Your choice! Walk down just a few steps and you are a few steps from the water's edge.

The homeowner is an artist, and you'll appreciate the playful yet serene interior. Guests really appreciate the open floor plan with the kitchen, living and dining areas all in one large space. The living area features a large sectional which provides a great spot for everyone to gather at the end of the day. Watch a movie, play a game or just discuss the adventures of the day. The well-equipped kitchen has all you'll need to prepare simple meals when you choose to dine in. There is seating for everyone at the table and granite breakfast bar.

The primary bedroom features a King-sized bed, balcony access and a private en suite bath. You won't even need to get out of bed to watch the dolphins swim by! There are two additional bedrooms, one with a King bed and one with a Queen as well as a Twin over Full Bunk room. The owner is in the process of adding a twin trundle to the bunk room. These 3 bedrooms share a hall bath with tub/shower combination. For the tiny ones, there is a pack 'n play (bring your own sheets).

If you have a larger group, we have another home that sleeps 8 more, just across the street. It's called Rolf's Crabby Daddy and it has a fantastic view of the lagoon. We would love to share our homes with you and hope to see you soon! Guests are free to use the lagoon access at Crabby Daddy and the guests at Crabby Daddy have permission to use the path to the right of Rolf's Retreat to access the beach.

Easy Beach Access
Property is great. Only complaint is the AC unit needs replacing. Older heat pump unit just couldn’t cut it on two hot days. Up to 83 during day but was cooler than outside and cooled down overnight. Even that didn’t necessarily hinder our stay. Just walk the 50 yards to the water and problem solved. Not overly crowded beach area at all.

Rolf’s Retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location. The house was conveniently located and all rooms were on the main floor. We had plenty of room. It was only a few steps to the beach. It was nicely decorated suited for the beach. There were a couple of things that would have made our stay absolutely perfect. The refrigerator/freezer had a seafood smell that we couldn’t get rid of with baking soda and cleaning. Also it would have been nice to have a Smart TV in the master bedroom, one was in another bedroom. Other than those things, we had a wonderful time. We look forward to going again. Thanks, Lori B

Wonderful Family Vacation!
We celebrated our daughter’s 16th birthday. We had plenty of room for the 9 of us. It was comfortable! A home away from home! Love the layout of the beach home! Great communication. Had a problem with the air but when reported they were quick in getting out to resolve it. Made lots of family memories! Love how close it is to the beach! Highly recommend! We hope to be back soon! ❤️

Pros: Deck, distance to beach and loaction were awesome!!! Cons: Oven did not work (ruined food trying to use it). Toaster oven missing knobs. Had to buy our own dish towels (did not have 1) and pans (need to be replaced.) Sliding door outside main bedroom very difficult to open/close.

PERFECT Beach location for families
We absolutely LOVED Rolf's Retreat for our family beach vacation. The access to the beach was the best we have ever had. The kitchen was well-stocked with any kind of dish or utensil you could need (I loved the labels!) There were plenty of towels for everyone. Everything was bright and beachy and super clean. The wifi worked great, even with several devices attached. The rooms are large. The porch is huge! My recommendation is to get a grocery delivery and be beach bums for your whole stay.

Relaxing and Beautiful Views
This is our second year coming to this property for a friends vacation. We travel with our young children and love that we can let them play on large porches and then easily access the beach without loading everyone up with all our belongings and committing to being on the beach all day. We come and go as we please and watch the waves from the couch inside though the sliding glass doors or from the porch. The property is always clean (although I have forgotten coffee filters both times so heads up to bring those!) and supplied with whatever we need to cook and eat our meals in the property. We love coming here and look forward to returning.

Beautiful spot
We had a wonderful stay! It was great to have the beach right there, and we absolutely loved the big deck. The place was very clean and well kept. There were a couple of things that could use updating/replacement, such as the lamp with electrical tape in the one bedroom, but they were small things that didn’t really bother us. Our kids loved playing football on the beach, and we liked that we were close enough to drive to a variety of restaurants. We would definitely recommend this place to others.

Lovely stay at Gulf Shores
Rulfs Retreat is a lovely beach house. Older and in need of some updates, but overall it is a great place to beach! It is well stocked, but no extras like condiments, spices, etc. Make sure you bring everything you will need to cook as well as extra TP. The view is beautiful and the beach is quiet. Just a few oil rigs off to the left but they don't ruin the view at all. The sun and shade deck are the best part. Spacious and provides perfect shade to spend the day watching the water. We did have a few people walk through the property to access the beach, which we didn't really like, but the beach is big enough for everyone. The house was clean and everything was pretty much as pictured. We would like to return for another stay next year!

We love the house and plan on staying there next year. Only problem we had was not with the house but navigating the TV...we only need tv for football games. We are 6 70+ women who love their SEC football & atl braves. Also came during the horrible biting flies season...but think we have a solution for next year.
