Home in Gulf Shores, Alabama

While you’re there

Check out some of our favorite parts of Gulf Shores. Sourced from our local teams who live there.

The Southern Grind

From fluffy breakfast plates to killer cold brews and frappes, this is the kind of place that makes mornings worth waking up for—and yes, you can grab their beans to keep the good vibes brewing at home.

Buzzcatz Coffee & Sweets

Made-to-order breakfasts, homemade baked goods, specialty coffees, and indulgent ice cream—the kind of scrumptious neighborhood gem that makes every trip to Orange Beach taste a little sweeter.

Cobalt

With a breathtaking sunset over the bay as your backdrop, expect lavish brunch buffets, fresh local seafood, and sinfully good desserts that'll have you planning your next visit before the check arrives.

The Hangout

Where the highway meets the beach—delicious food, live entertainment, a foam pit, sand pile, games, and Gulf Shores' most iconic beachside atmosphere all under one roof.

Acme Oyster House

Authentic New Orleans seafood meets pure Gulf Coast fun—ice-cold raw oysters, legendary chargrilled favorites, and the epic 'Peace Maker' po'boy. Life really is more fun with seafood.

Flora-Bama Yacht Club

Almost as legendary as the famous bar across the street, the Flora-Bama Yacht Club delivers an unbeatable combo of jaw-dropping food, warm service, stunning waterfront settings, and live music — because on the Gulf Coast, it really doesn't get any better than this!

The Gulf

Stunning shipping container design, elegant rustic cuisine, and a genuinely welcoming staff—the kind of magical seaside destination that feels like a hidden gem even after everyone discovers it.

Cosmo’s Restaurant & Bar

Hand-cut steaks, fresh local seafood, and a Banana Leaf Wrapped Fish so iconic it made the list of "top 100 dishes to eat before you die." This Orange Beach gem is anything but ordinary.

Tropic Falls at OWA

The Gulf Coast's ultimate year-round playground—a jaw-dropping indoor water park with 75-foot slides, a convertible glass roof, outdoor wave pool, surf simulator, and 23 theme park attractions for nonstop family fun.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay.

It was a great experience. Everyone in our group loved the apartment and the location. The dryer was slow at drying but I finally figured out that if you put a smaller amount in it dried better. Great price, we went off season. That makes it more affordable and less crowded. Loved it, any issues were addressed quickly. Great place to stay.

The mattresses could use an update. They were hard. But all in all great.

Avari response:

Thank you, Cynthia, for sharing your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that you and your group enjoyed the apartment and its location. It’s wonderful to know that you found the off-season pricing to be a great value and that any concerns were addressed promptly.

We appreciate your feedback about the mattresses and will certainly take it into consideration as we strive to enhance our guests' comfort. Your insights help us improve, and we want every stay to be as enjoyable as possible.

We would love to welcome you back for another stay in the future, where we hope to provide an even better experience.

Overall, it was a good experience that would bring us back. We did enjoy the condo, there were petty things that made so

The location was perfect for our family. Beachfront, but not too close to attractions that make the crowds too busy.

One burner on the stove worked. The dryer would take over 200 minutes to dry a load of clothes. I didn’t find the iron until we were leaving. The towels left lint all over everyone.

Avari response:

Thank you, Rachel, for sharing your thoughts about your stay with us. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the condo and found the location perfect for your family. Being beachfront yet away from the hustle and bustle is something we truly value as well.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the stove and dryer. That shouldn't have happened, and we’re sorry for any inconvenience it caused during your stay. We’ll make sure our team addresses these issues promptly to ensure a smoother experience for future guests.

Finding the iron at the last minute can be frustrating, and we’ll work on making sure everything is easily accessible. We also appreciate your note about the towels and will look into that to improve our quality.

We genuinely care about your comfort and want to provide a consistently enjoyable experience. We would love to welcome you back for another stay, where we can ensure everything is just right.

Thank you allowing us to use this space it was very spacious and beautiful inside. My family and I really enjoyed ourselves especially the ocean views. The only thing that they need to in prove is putting a broom and mop because vacation with kids they make a mess I like to clean up my mess but besides that everything was great.
