Overview

White sandy beaches mere steps from your door sounds like paradise, and it can be yours when you stay here at the Sandbox on the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy waking up to the sounds of serene ocean waves, birds, and the dolphins playing. With no shortage of things to do, sights to see, and things to experience, you and your group will create memories that will last a lifetime. Para sail, boat, fish, snorkel, paddle board, and do every other waterfront activity imaginable. After playing on the beach, explore historical landmarks, tour downtown and find local eateries, and discover family friendly attractions. Play a few rounds on the top-ranked Kiva Dunes Golf Course, or challenge your loved ones to some rounds of tennis on the nearby courts. Inside you'll find a bright interior and welcoming air throughout. Gather around the comfortable furniture and enjoy good conversations or host a movie night on the TV. Hobby chefs will love preparing home-cooked meals in the full kitchen, equipped with all the cupboard space you'll ever need and a long breakfast bar that sits at least five. With four bedrooms and eleven beds, there are plenty of places to rest your head from the day's activities. Kids will love bunking together and making memories in the bunk beds that they'll remember forever. Sip your morning coffee on the patio and bask in the Gulf of Mexico sunrise reflecting on the water, feeling your cares melt away. THINGS TO KNOW A Queen-size sofa bed is provided.

We were really happy with the house and you just can't beat the beach front location and view. If you are looking for fancy, this isn't for you, but for the price of this rental and the amazing location, you can't beat it. It's clean and comfortable, has a great deck overlooking the beach. Exactly what we were looking for. We'd definitely stay again on a future visit.

The back deck is big. Love being on the beach! Plenty of room inside the house for the whole family.

We really enjoyed our time here. The view and location were amazing. The house could use a little updating but we didn’t come to stay inside so that really didn’t matter to us. Highly recommend this place it was clean and well stocked with pots and pans and anything we needed.

The house was perfect! The pictures are spot on! The deck is amazing and the walk to the beach is great. Having access to beach chairs, umbrellas toys and more was fantastic. It was definitely a fantastic week in gulf shores..
