GULF FRONT CONDO! STEPS FROM THE BEACH WITH GORGEOUS VIEWS! 2 BR/2B GREAT VALUE!

Welcome to the Heard's! Our condo is located at Gulf Tower, 1051 W. Beach Blvd., Gulf Shores, AL. Owner managed for a personal experience! We want you to enjoy our wonderful home away from home!

This unit is literally steps from the beach! (see first picture) It's almost like sitting on the beach but no sand! Imagine sitting on the balcony, in the living room/dining area or the kitchen and you have such a GREAT view of the Gulf of Mexico with delightful dolphins to view on an almost a daily basis. And when you want to go to the beach it's steps away from the pool area!

Spacious Gulf Front condo, east corner, fully furnished, 3rd floor unit (1st Floor is a parking garage) with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. King sized bed in each bedroom, pull out sofa bed in good sized living room and day bed on the balcony comfortably sleeps 6. Freshly painted, nicely decorated and inviting with tile and laminate flooring, full kitchen and laundry room. The view is BEAUTIFUL!!

There are 3 SMART tv's , 3 DVD players with games, puzzles and books to enjoy! Free WIFI available!

Enjoy the Recreation room on the first floor with some older exercise equipment, games, puzzles, and books also with a beach front view. Oceanfront outdoor pool with entrance to the beautiful white sand beach. Convenience stores and restaurants nearby! Also Shopping!

The unique balcony includes choice to open doors to a beautiful unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico or if it's a bit too hot (or a bit too cold) you can close them and still enjoy a magnificent on the beach experience!

You are quoted a price including one parking pass at the rate of $40.00. During high rental season only one vehicle is allowed to park in the GT parking lot due to limited parking spaces available. The high rental season is determined as, March 1st through August 15th, Labor Day Weekend Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Shrimp Festival in October. I send you all the condo information approximately 30 days prior to your arrival. Any dates other than those listed above you can purchase additional passes directly from Owner.

Two new elevators and a new Range in 2024!

The unit isn't completely updated, but it is clean and affordable! AND did I mention the view??

We would LOVE to be your Hosts!

Perfect
When we walked into this condo and opened the sliding glass doors overlooking the Gulf all I could say was WOW!!! Seeing the sugar white sand, the beautiful blue of the water, the clear blue sky and warm sunshine……well, it took my breath away!!! It was exactly what I was hoping for when we began to plan for a Gulf Shores trip. While the condo is dated it didn’t matter…we were too busy checking out the area. We had a small issue with the tub drain but Kathi very quickly contacted a professional and it was fixed within 24 hours.The location was close to shopping and restaurants. We discovered Gulf State Park where we hiked the trails. We also rented bikes there and explored the 28 miles of trails in the park.We would most definitely come back to this area and specifically this condo!!!

Nice condo on beach
Communication between owner and myself was very good from the moment I booked the condo. The condo is in a convenient location right on the beach. I liked that the condo is on the end so there was not a lot of noise. I also enjoyed the patio doors that you could have open or closed.

The location and views were the best thing about the stay! Definitely listen when they say management is strict about parking. A small corner of our pass wasn’t visible and we got a warning about it so make they can see the entire thing.

Great stay.
We will be back soon. For the price absolutely cant beat it. Space was plenty big enough for 3 kids and 2 adults. Beach acess was the best we have stay at in the gulf. Bring your own pillows the one in rooms are past their prime. Had everything we needed for 4 nights. Property is private and quite. Black out/any curtain in the bedrooms are the only thing i would add to the place. You dont know if its day or night out bc building lights are right in the windows. Highly recommend staying here. The beach toys in the room made the stay even better bc we forgot some stuff the kids wanted but was there.

We rented this 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo on Gulf Shores for 10-days. The unit was very clean and well-equipped. Kathi was a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed. I texted her upon arrival with a quick question, and she immediately called to help. We loved our stay here!
