Overview

A low-density condo complex in the heart of all the fun of the Gulf Shores main public beach area entertainment district, Island Shores offers fantastic access to major beach and surf shops; restaurants like The Hangout, Pink Pony Pub and Sea-n-Suds; and fun attractions like Waterville USA, Gulf State Park, and The Track Family Recreation Center.

While the condo's location gives you the flexibility to enjoy all there is to do on the Gulf Coast, you'll want to take time to relax at your condo.

Enjoy your own private balcony as you gaze at the surf and sand below. Be sure to watch for dolphins frolicking in the Gulf. Or, let the kids blow off some steam at the outdoor pool as you lounge around and read that book you've been trying to get to for the past several months.

Want to build the coolest sandcastle around? Call our friends at Sandcastle University for a sandcastle-building lesson. They'll come to beachfront at Island Shores and bring all the tools and buckets you'll need. All you have to do is supply the creativity and the hands to construct your masterpiece!

At Island Shores, you'll enjoy the solitude of your two- or three-bedroom condo, complete with private balcony, without sacrificing all the fun of being in the middle of the excitement of delicious restaurants, amusing attractions and beach shopping.

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.

Over all it was nice and convenient. Could have been updated a bit more and offer extra blankets . With small updates it

I was walking distance to a few restaurants and a grocery shop and a good access and proximity to the beach.

The shower knobs were slightly broken and the dryer knob was missing. The dryer would not close to dry clothes.

View and walkout to the beach is perfect. So convenient. Place is suitable for our needs but could you a deep clean. Overall the cleanliness was fine. The pool is simple but not overcrowded. I would definitely consider staying here again.

Avari response:

We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the perfect view and the convenience of walking right out to the beach, Kendra. It sounds like you made the most of your time soaking in the sun and enjoying the pool without the crowds.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the cleanliness, and we’ll certainly take that into account as we strive to maintain the highest standards for our guests. It’s great to know that the space suited your needs, and we would love the opportunity to welcome you back for another stay in the future.

Location, price

There were no blankets or pillows for sofa sleeper. Each bed had sheets,1 thin blanket, & 2 pillows. Sofa sleeper had fitted sheet & twin top sheet. No blanket or pillow for the 1 sleeping there. Not a single extra piece of bedding. Couch needs cleaning badly.
