Additional highlights include a recently updated kitchen with a breakfast bar, three flat screen TVs, and generously sized bedrooms - including a master suite with a king bed and a private en-suite bathroom.

The condo is just 1 mile from Highway 59, and a short walk to a host of attractions, including Gulf State Park, Gulf State Park Pier, beachside eateries, shops, and local music and seafood festivals. Drive less than 20 minutes to Tanger Outlets and OWA.

ABOUT THE CONDO

Take in the sugar white beaches and beautiful gulf views from your private balcony. There’s seating for four and a small table to enjoy snacks and drinks in this picturesque spot.

Inside, an open living area with tiled floors has a 40' flat screen TV with a DVD player. Watch a movie and relax on two comfortable couches.

It’s easy to make quick beach snacks and vacation-worthy meals in the recently updated kitchen, featuring granite countertops and high-end appliances. Keep the chef in your group company at the kitchen bar for two.

When you’re ready to eat, savor a home-cooked dinner at the four-person dining table.

This home sleeps five guests total between two bedrooms.

A master bedroom has a king-size bed, a 32' flat screen TV with a DVD player, and direct balcony access. An en-suite bathroom features a stylishly tiled walk-in shower.

The second bedroom comes with a queen-size bed and a twin bed - both decked out in fun nautical-themed bedspreads. This room also has a 32' flat screen TV with a DVD player and convenient access to a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a tub/shower combination.

Guest amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi, cable TV, an in-unit washer/dryer, and space for two cars in the parking lot. Please note that a fee of $40 will be added to the reservation in order to include two guest parking passes.

As part of The Whaler complex, additional perks include a shared pool, picnic benches, barbecue grills, an outdoor shower, and beach access.

THE LOCATION

You’ll love being within walking distance to the beach. A 4-minute stroll to Gulf State Park will also take you to more stretches of white sand along with miles of walking trails. Rent a kayak and paddleboard for the day, or bring your fishing gear and cast a line off the huge Gulf State Park Pier.

For a family outing, hop in the car and head 4 minutes to Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo. Or travel 7 minutes to Adventure Island - a fun-filled amusement park with go-karts, an arcade, laser tag, paddle boats, and kids rides.

When dining out, stroll 7 minutes to enjoy the catch of the day at Sea N Suds. For Caribbean-style seafood, head to Gulf Island Grill. Or make your way to The Hangout for live music and an oyster cook-off. Both are within a mile from the condo.

The beach view! It was not crowded, and there were plenty of chairs to relax at the pool.

A few cleaning products for minor things would have been nice.

Avari response:

Carla, we’re so glad you enjoyed the beautiful beach view and found the pool area relaxing and uncrowded. It’s wonderful to hear that you had plenty of chairs to unwind in. We appreciate your feedback about the cleaning supplies; we always aim to provide a comfortable and convenient stay, and we’ll take your suggestion into account.

Very clean and easy access to the elevators and trash disposal… small community and pretty quick access to the beach .. parking has enough space but a bit small for trucks haha .. overall great place to stay will definitely go again in the future!

Clean and great location for our family!! We enjoyed being on the beach and the ease of finding our way back after crab hunting at night. Safe for the runner in the family to run their daily miles. We also enjoyed walking to go shopping for souvenirs or anything else we wanted to get including sweet treats.

Avari response:

Thank you, Marsha, for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed the clean space and the fantastic location right on the beach. It sounds like you made some wonderful memories, from crab hunting at night to those sweet shopping trips. We love that our home provided a safe environment for your runner to get those daily miles in.

Your comfort and enjoyment are our top priorities, and it’s great to know we hit the mark during your stay. We would be delighted to welcome you back for another family getaway whenever you're ready!
