About this property

Southern Sands 206/Beach Front/Dolphin watching from the balcony!

Come stay at the beautiful and relaxing SOUTHERN SANDS 206 – a two bedroom, two bath rental right on the famous white sand beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama.

This second-story, family-friendly condo has a stunning view from its double-sized balcony right on the beach – giving you, your family and friends your own private view of the palm trees, sand dunes and clear-blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Escape the crowds and steer clear of the packed high-rises: come breathe in the fresh beach air at this charming, 3-story development.

The unit sleeps six people comfortably with one king bed, two twin beds and a sleeper sofa, along with two full bathrooms. It has a spacious kitchen for cooking meals and a dining area, as well as a living room with a large sofa and flat screen television. WiFi included.

Outside, you can relax at the pool, or hit the beaches (chairs and umbrellas available for rent from beach service during the summer). You won’t find a better location – a walkable area about as close as you can get to the Hangout (home to the well-known music festival) and the annual National Shrimp Festival, as well as local seafood restaurants and beach bars. Shopping at the Tanger Outlets is an easy drive down the road.
There are plenty of golf courses nearby too, as well as a zoo, waterparks and churches. This is a non-smoking, pet-free unit. Parking and laundry available. Book year round. Perfect for snowbirds!

Family Beach Getaways

This condo is in a great location and was perfect for our small family. Plenty of stores and local restaurants within walking distance so you don’t have to worry about getting the car out after a long day on the beach. But if you do PARKING is awesome! Never had to worry about finding a spot. Highly recommend this rental. We’ll be back!

Cozy and Convenient

My family stayed here for our first time Gulf Shores. We loved the condo as it was a perfect location, right on the beach and close enough to walk to activities for the kids. The fact that it was a smaller complex allowed the kids to head down to the pool while we were still getting beach items ready. Would love to stay here again!

Great location & beautiful beaches

This property was prime location. Beach was right outside of the facility and you can be in the water literally minutes from the door! Beaches are beautiful and not overcrowded. Great food options were within walking distance which was a bonus! The Hangout is a short walk as well. Would definitely stay here again! Great communication with the owner and very accommodating.

Fall break

Location is perfect! Watched the sun rise every morning from our balcony. Loved being able to walk .5 miles to our favorite coffee spot - West Beach Coffee House located in the top of Pier 33 Grocery. On day 1 we arrived very early and the owners were very accommodating and let us check in early. The washer and dryer room was down just a few doors and takes cards so no change necessary. We will definitely stay here again!

A little piece of paradise

First, the owners of this property are absolutely lovely and extremely accommodating. Second, even though the condo could use some updating, it provided all we needed for a relaxing friends weekend. The beach is just a step outside the property and coffee on the balcony in the morning and champagne in the evenings capped the stay. Will definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your home.

Perfect week at the beach

This little condo was in the best location! Exactly what we were looking for in a beach rental! While it was a bit dated and yes, the master bed was quite hard (lol), neither of those things took away from the convenience of being right at the beach, the pool and so many great restaurants. We would definitely come back again to Douthern Sands and the girgeous beaches of Alabama! Thank you for a great week!
