Beachfront! Near Town! Views! Heated Pool! 5Bd/3Bth #7
You will absolutely love staying at Blue Parrot #7, which is right on the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Blue Parrot #7 appeared on the TV show "Island Life" (Season 4 Episode 9). This beautiful spacious gulf front 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home sleeps 14 and is complete with everything you need to have a perfect beach vacation. The shared beach front swimming pool with comfortable lounge chairs is perfect for relaxing and playing (pool heater gas charge is $60/day extra). The two beautiful large decks provide uninterrupted breathtaking Gulf views of the sparkling waters and serene sugar white sand. The first level of the home offers a spacious and fully equipped kitchen. The lovely dining table seats eight and a cozy breakfast bar seats four. The large and open living area provides spectacular Gulf front views. (From the pool view, the unit is the right side of the duplex.)
As of January 2025, all furniture in the home is new except for the kitchen table. Also, all bathrooms have gone through full or partial renovations (new countertops, mirrors, faucets and light fixtures). [The exterior was painted from yellow to light turquoise. The video still needs to be updated.]
There are less than 50 houses in Gulf Shores where the pool is between the house and the ocean and this is one of them. The pool recently went through a major renovation (new concrete, fence, etc.).
Inquire for monthly rates in January and February only.
The main level of the home features 2 bedrooms, a full bath, a kitchen, a dining area and a living room. The first bedroom on the main level has a king size bed and full size bath. The second bedroom on the main level is just off of the kitchen area and has two twin bunk beds. The second level of the home features 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king size bed, a private bath and a private Gulf front deck. The middle bedroom has a queen size bed and the north bedroom has a king size bed and they share a full size bathroom between these two rooms. The layout and design of Blue Parrot #7 are perfect for comfort, privacy and entertaining. Located in the heart of Gulf Shores, only 1.8 miles from Highway 59, Blue Parrot #7 is a perfect beach house with all of the comforts and luxuries of home.
For technology lovers, the home has internet download speeds up to 1 GB and all 6 televisions are HD Smart TVs each with YouTube TV provided and access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc.
The unit comes with bed linens (pillow cases, sheets and blankets) and bathroom linens (bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths, and bath mats). Beach towels are not provided. One roll of toilet paper is provided per bathroom. Wash cloths, dish towels, a roll of paper towels, a packet of dish washing detergent and a small bottle of dish washing liquid are provided for the kitchen.
The unit also has a very large ground level storage room we call the "toy room" (see picture). It is stocked with beach chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, beach toys and pool toys for use by guests. This gives you more space in your vehicle during travel since you do not have to bring these items with you. You can also use this room to store your own things so you don't have to carry them inside the living space.
For those with air sensitivities, all the duct work in the attic was recently replaced and the 1st floor duct work was recently cleaned.
A gas grill is provided and the natural gas is provided as well.
We also own the Blue Parrot #8, the other side of this duplex.
The AC does not have a min/max block so you can cool the unit to your desired temperature.
Small shower chair is provided.
We look forward to hearing from you so we can help you have the greatest beach vacation ever!

Thanks for the great review! Only about 10% of the houses in Gulf Shores have a pool between the house and the ocean. So glad you appreciated that quality of our property. Glad you had a great time and please come back soon.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfection and has such lovely access to the beach. The rooms are spacious and clean as are the bathrooms.

Thanks for the great review. One of the reasons we bought this property was due to it's large bedrooms and large closets. It truly makes this home a comfortable place to stay. Please come again soon!
Being on the beach was very convenient, the house was exactly as the pics in the website. Alex the owner was very attentive even to the small stuff. Family had a blast and I highly recommend a trip to Lulu’s restaurant. Will definitely be coming down next year to Parrot #7 Thanks Alex!

Thanks for the great review. Feel free to send us any recommended enhancements you would like to see. We have implemented over 95% of all guest recommendations. Come again soon!!
Overall stay was great! Sharing the pool with the other duplex was a bit much if you are looking to rest and relax.. they also like to swim late at night so not much privacy and peace. Very nice place!
Thanks for the great review! I am so glad your kids enjoyed the pool. The guests next door said their kids loved playing with your kids and it gave them free time to enjoy coffee on the upper deck. Come back soon!
We had an amazing week! The host was very responsive and helpful. The house was perfect and had more than we could have expected! We highly recommend booking here!

Thanks so much for the great review. We continue to make many types of improvements. We are also continuing to refine our room by room checklist to ensure everything is ready for our guests. Please come again soon!!
Great stay and property. Excellent location. Plenty of towels for all as well as kitchen was very well stocked with utensils, cookware, dinner sets, etc.
We had the BEST time! It was perfect to fit our crew. We had 10 adults and 3 kids and it was great. Short walk to the beach and the kids loved the pool. Not too far from town and walking distance to get ice cream. Will definitely be staying there again!

So glad you had a great time. Hope you also enjoyed the restaurant next to the ice cream shop. It has great seafood and is not too expensive. Please come again soon!!
Great house! The lay out was perfect for our group of 4 couples and the beech chairs and umbrellas were the icing on the cake. It is a duplex but we never knew we had neighbors unless they were outside. The pool was so nice to have after a day at the beach. We will definitely be back. Thanks for sharing your home!

So glad your group enjoyed our home. I think the large size of the bedrooms is one of the key things that makes the home so comfortable. The large TVs and the new bedroom furniture has also made it quite comfortable. Please come again soon and thanks for being such great guests!
