Overview

Unwind in an idyllic spot right beside the beach in this 2BR/2BA Gulf Shores condo, located in The Whaler complex. Soak up amazing beach views from the comfort of your private sixth-floor balcony. Or take a dip in the gulf-front pool. You’ll also enjoy access to a sundeck and a grilling/picnic space. 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 location and access to beach were top notch! Pool needs updating. Elevator was sketchy and there was only one for the whole building. Quite clean and comfortable!
