About this property

Great Beach Access + FREE Golf & Activities Private Pool Elevator 'Tuxedo Flats'

Welcome to Tuxedo Flats. As the name implies, you are about to immerse in a ‘formally informal’ vacation experience. The property is comprised of two 5-bedroom, 5.5-baths, 2250 square foot flats (one over the other) that rents as one 10-bedroom home. The beach is just across the street and the back yard is resplendent with cool, relaxing water and recreational features. Plus you'll have FREE Golf and Activities every day of your stay to make it even better (value of up to $800/day).

For Summer, Tuxedo Flats rents Sunday to Sunday, the rest of the year, you pick your dates.

On arrival, you will find impeccably-crafted matching homes on each floor. Decorated in what is typically described as “coastal chic" they are spacious and minimalist in concept leaving plenty of room for an ample gathering of family and friends. Luxurious 10- foot ceilings, custom moldings, high-end fixtures and electronic packages complete the setting.

Each customized island kitchen is appointed with Wood-Mode cabinetry, GE Profile appliances, granite countertops, and an elegantly carved travertine backsplash to delight both foodies and non-cooks alike. Fully equipped, with every imaginable utensil and counter-top appliance, all you need add are the groceries.

The bright Great Rooms form the main social area with a high-definition TV and DVD player. A wet bar with stand-alone ice maker and wine refrigerator awaits you in preparation for that perfect vacation libation.

Each bedroom is equipped with its own bathroom, television, and DVD player. Each level has three “master suites” with king-sized beds and private balcony access. And there is a fully handicapped equipped - specifically designed bedroom for special-needs guests or senior citizens. Each level also has a room for kids to call their own during their stay. An elevator connects all levels together with the ground floor for ease of use.

Practical appointments abound including large-capacity washers and dryers, and a wireless Internet service which enables you to stay connected to friends and family. You will also find that the garage accessible large elevator will help jump-start your holiday quickly and effortlessly.

Connecting large front and back decks enhance the beach views and lagoon features - perfect for a quiet read or afternoon cocktails. Headed to the beach? Grab a Tuxedo Flat beach cart provided for your use, and trundle 100 feet across the street and public beach access and discover the white sands and glistening emerald waters of the Gulf. Complete the day’s activity in the landscaped pool area with lounge chairs, the refreshing pool, grilling and relaxing siestas under our covered gazebo or in the hammock. Enjoy a shaded ping-pong table or swing in the hammock chairs in our secluded outdoor breezeway. And when the outdoor temperature turns a little brisk, turn it back with our HEATED pool! The smaller pool closest to the house can be heated for $50/day.

Located just two miles west of Highway 59 on West Beach Boulevard, temptations abound with wonderful places, from great beachfront dives like West Beach Grill (walking distance along with S&S Seafood), Bahama Bobs, Sea and Suds and The Hangout (great bands all the time) to local restaurants such as DeSoto's, The Shrimp Basket and more. A couple blocks further you will discover a half a dozen dining locations that are perfect for lunch or dinner. There’s a delightful waterpark with all kinds of rides and slides for, yup, kids of all ages. A little further there are go-kart tracks (try the Woody!), amusements, and several miniature golf courses that are the perfect way to spend a few hours off the beach.

Sorry! NO COLLEGE GROUPS. We welcome teams, church groups, faculty-sponsered groups. Please note we are unable to rent to unchaperoned college groups or groups under the age of 25. Maximum of 20 adults.

Amazing Vacation

We had 21 of us in the house. The set up was perfect! Loved that each bedroom had a bathroom. Loved how close to the beach it was. Plenty of parking. Our only issue was we paid extra for the pool to be heated and we had to call daily for the first half of our trip because the pool heat was not working. Also we ended up bringing our own garbage down to the curb because no one did it for us as stated in our instructions.

Perfect size for our family!

This place fit our family better than any place we’ve had before. 20 of us do this every Thanksgiving and everyone thought this place was best. Loved each rooom having own bath. Also kitchen was hands down most furnished we’ve ever had. Separate ice machines on each floor was a great touch! Would definitely stay here in future! Highly recommend!

Annual Golf trip with friends

Tuxedo Flats was fantastic! We had a party of 6 couples and all had big beds and our own bathrooms and there were rooms to spare! The water quality was great. The property was easy to check in to. It had an elevator to help take bags and groceries up to BOTH full kitchens. It had large living areas on both floors with ample seating for everyone. The pools were lovely and beach access was right across the street! They even had a closet full of beach chairs and floaties. The management company was responsive and the one small issue we had was handled promptly. All in all we had a great time at this property!

We are a family of 23 and had a really good time during our stay. The entrance to the beach was across the street. Two pools at the house was great! Having our own bathroom was a dream. The house was perfect for us. We will come back !!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect place for our large group of 5 families to spend a week together in Gulf Shores. We had a couple of very minor issues that came up during the week and the management company was so accommodating and responsive. The location right across the street from public beach access was very convenient. We would 100% stay in Tuxedo Flats again.

Remarkable

Most of my family members were skeptical of a beach getaway. Most beach trips have been somewhat disheveled. Rarely has a beach city experience overwhelming surprised my family. Everyone enjoyed the privacy of having their own bathroom and the 1/2 bathroom on each level. Every staff member were more than willing to assist and showed true southern hospitality. Thanks GSV rentals. We will definitely visit again.

Perfect for Family Beach Week

Tuxedo flats was everything we needed and more for our family beach week. We had more than enough space for LOTS of people. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the pools and all the beach and pool toys were a major bonus. We had a couple minor issues come up and the property manager was prompt and very responsive. The location, just across the street from beach access, can’t be beat. Many in our group did not want to leave. We’d easily recommend Tuxedo Flats to others and will certainly not include it on our list for next summer.

There were minor issues; such as ants on 1st level kitchen, WiFi connectivity on 2nd level was in and out, AC on 1st level, some members experienced lukewarm water temperatures in their showers and not the most comfortable mattresses in a few of the rooms. However, management was very responsive when contacted. Overall property was well maintained , adequate space and nice pool areas. I would consider staying again.

Suggest eating at Zeke’s Restaurant at Zeke’s Landing and Marina. If you’re a fisherman they will cook your catch! Would recommend this property.

Great vacation

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are a large multi generational group. 1 month old to 76 years old. The place was clean and ready when we arrived. Having the elevator really helps bring in all your luggage. Having an on suite bathroom with each bedroom was great. The Beach is right across the street. Having the 2 pools made for so much fun and relaxing when you did not go to the beach. We had something come up that need attention from maintenance and we would email them. The very next morning they were there to take care of it. I can’t recommend this place enough for all it has to offer.

Sand, sea & sun 2023

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family stayed at Tuxedo Flats recently and we’re very pleased with the property. The proximity to the beach access was very convenient and the two pools were very popular with everyone. Our family ranged from age 5 to 87 so the elevator was important for us to have. There was plenty of space for everyone to feel comfortable. We had an issue with our air conditioning and it was fixed within an hour of calling. The only complaints we had were the hot water didn’t get very hot, the internet was very weak which affected the television streaming and the beverage refrigerator on the second floor didn’t work. Someone came to check it but it was never fixed. All in all everything was great. The free tickets to local attractions were also very welcome. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting a large space for a family gathering.
