Ocean Front Cozy Condo Seconds from the Beach Your Adventure Awaits

Surfside Shores, unit #1504 at 969 West Beach Blvd is a 5th floor condo DIRECTLY on the white sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, the living room and master bedroom open up to a large beachfront balcony overlooking the ocean and pool area. The unit and building are GREAT for families with children however our HAO does not allow pets in or on the property.
We are constantly trying to make updates to the unit so when you arrive it may not look like the pictures posted, someday it will be exactly the way we want, in the mean time it is a perfect place to stay at the beach.
It offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, sleeper sofa in the living room, washer/dryer in unit with wireless internet, there is a large Smart T.V. in the living room but don't forget to sign out of your apps before you leave. Dish satellite in every room and Roku in the Master.
Beautifully decorated for a calm and welcoming feel, we want our guest to feel at home.
Just under 1 mile west of Hwy 59 and within a short walking distance to local restaurants, Janinos pizza (right across the road) The Beach House Kitchen and Cocktails West of the unit on 59 (crawfish mac and cheese is to die for) Bahama Bob's and Pier 33 grocery, beach shopping at Island Outfitters just to name a few. There is always more shopping than you will have time for, a short drive to the Tanger Outlet in Foley and many more stores.
If your tired of laying on the beach there is always something to do, parasailing, banana boat rides or rent a wave runner, check out some deep sea fishing, dolphin cruises or drive back to Mobile Bay to tour the battleship.

All the thoughtful touches

The property owner made this condo feel more like a home than a condo. Decorated softly without the overwhelming tacky beach theme. Little touches like soft throw blankets, extra shelves in the bathrooms, and a sweet little guestbook. Very cozy.

Beautiful stay in Gulf shores

We had a great time at this condo. The pictures were accurate and being right on the beach was perfect! The property owner was easy to reach and quick to respond. We had a small issue with a tricky sliding door during our stay and she called and walked us through how to correct within just a few minutes. Only one of the pools was heated and neither of the hot tubs were heated during our stay so the one heated pool stayed pretty busy as it was accommodating both buildings. The property owner did let us know ahead of time about the one heated pool ahead of time so we knew what we were getting. Overall, we were more than happy with our stay and look forward to future stays!

Cozy condo to rent!

We adored our stay here! Melody is an amazing host, was super quick to reply and work with. We had all the amenities we needed here. The location was wonderful!! Quick and easy beach access, 5th floor, never any lines for elevator when we visited in Aug. The view was gorgeous, comfy beds, we felt right at home here and we would def rent here again! Our family had the best week when we rented. Thank you Melody!

Awesome

We had a great time. The condo was exactly what we wanted. It was very clean. It was right at the elevator so we just stepped out and be right there. The only thing I would do to condo is get some black out curtains for bedrooms for people who like to be in a dark room.

Five night stay. Hostess Melody provided great communication. No issues with getting in the condo. Condo was well appointed and had everything we needed. Decor not overly 'beachy', but not needed since the beach is right outside the door. Only issue was the stench of pot coming from neighboring balconies but than can happen anywhere... Overall excellent location, close to restaurants and entertainment. Will definitely return next year.

Excellent beachfront property

We were here for softball nationals for my daughter. The location was very convenient to the fields and the property was quiet for good rest. We enjoyed walking out of the building to the pool and white sand beach. The inside of the condo was very comfortable with all the comforts needed. The stylish tile Showers were amazing after hot days at the ballpark. The washer/dryer in the unit is excellent. I spent many hours on the balcony relaxing watching the ocean and listening to the waves. Highly recommend. Owner is very communicative.

Great location, terrible condo

When we checked in the condo was not clean. Melody tried to accommodate us. The location of the condo was fantastic being right on the beach, however the walls were very thin. This condo is also located right outside the elevator and you can hear everyone talking. The amount of space in the condo was great for our family of four and we enjoyed the balcony the most, seeing lots of dolphins. The appliances are rental grade or less. The toaster doesn't work, the dishwasher is rusty, but the biggest issue I had was the mattresses. The king mattress was the worst mattress I've slept on in probably 30 years. It was a spring mattress that sounded like something you would put on a fold out sofa bed. If you want to sleep on your trip, don't book this condo. The bathrooms looked nice but the toilet in the kids room wouldn't flush most of the time and would continue running most of the night. We could hear every other condo flush their toilet and hear them through the vents. The pool/ hot tub wasn't heated. Going in march that was part of the reason we booked this condo knowing the gulf would be colder. The kitchen had a good amount of items to cook with but one wash cloth and one hand towel that were very warn. The oven also didn't heat well and didn't cook food properly. It looks nice, but if you can't sleep or use the appliances why not find another condo with the same location that treats it more than a "rental".

Great Beach Getaway

Perfect location right on the beach, close to dozens of restaurants and shops, just far enough away from everything though that noise isn't an issue. Clean and well taken care of. If you're flying and not bringing much stuff, a trip to Walmart will be needed, no beach stuff and very little provided (no coffee, 1 garbage bag, 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom)
