Welcome to Summer House West, located in West Beach, Gulf Shores! The complex is nestled between Little Lagoon and The Gulf of Mexico.

This 2 BR / 2.5 BA condo is the best of both worlds! We sit directly on Little Lagoon and across the street (100 yards) from the Gulf of Mexico. It's like two vacations in one! Walk across the street for the waves and surf of the white sand beaches or spend the day fishing, boating, lounging on Little Lagoon. As a guest mentioned, the walk to the beachis shorter than some high rise condos directly on the beach! Condo comfortably houses 6 guests.

Beaches - Pool - Lagoon - Fishing pier with cleaning station- Gazebo - BBQ - Boat Slip

This condo is a townhouse (1,300 square feet) with the bedrooms (2) on the second floor, both with full bathrooms and their own balconies (master balcony overlooks the lagoon, 2nd bedroom balcony has view of the Gulf of Mexico). Condo has 3 private balconies in all.

The main floor has the kitchen, pantry, half-bath, laundry, dining room that seats 6, and living room with two sofas, 42 inch smart TV, and balcony that overlooks Little Lagoon! The kitchen is fully stocked with all of the appliances, cookware and dishes you will need to prepare meals during your vacation. There are also charcoal grills for your use.

The complex has a swimming pool, private beach access (100 yards from condo, across a non busy street), a fishing pier, and a fish cleaning station, gazebo with grilling area, charcoal grills and picnic tables. There is free covered parking for two cars, as well as additional guest spaces.

Guests have access to owner's closet in carport to use (beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys, floats, beach cart) and store personal gear (beach, fishing, or other).

Summer House West is a small, quaint complex with a total of 32 units. It has 3 buildings and our unit is in the back building directly on Little Lagoon!

*Please note as this is a small complex, there is no elevator, only stairs. Our condo entrance is on the second floor.

Located in the West Beach area of Gulf Shores, Summer House West is 3.5 miles from the heart of Gulf Shores--The Hangout and the T and a 15-minute drive to the Orange Beach area.

Gorgeous Little Lagoon Pass is just a 0.5 mile away!

We are close enough for convenience, but far enough for getting away from it all!

Snowbirds welcome (Dec, Jan, Feb)!

Free wifi provided.

    As a family, we have stayed in lodging that runs the gambit from tiny and quaint to enormous and extravagant, but the SummerHouse fit right in the “Goldilocks” spot of our family’s needs and expectations and provided the ideal home away from home we wanted. Simply can’t say enough about how refreshing it is to enjoy the quiet location slightly out of the bustle of the tourism centers, but still only a couple of minutes away from the some of the best food in the Gulf. The homeowners were a pleasure to work with and removed all guess work and confusion one typically sees in a common rental. But that’s just it; SummerHouse is no common rental and surpasses all expectations for its price point. We brought home fond memories and thankful sentiments for SummerHouse. THANK YOU!!

    This was perfect for our family. My husband isn’t a “beach” person so being next to the lagoon felt like he was relaxing by the lake, but the kids and I had a short & easy (less than 5 min) walk to the ocean. Host was instantly responsive and helpful. The condo and outdoor closet were perfectly stocked with essentials. There was even a variety of items for babies & toddlers. Location was convenient to shopping & restaurants. There are lots of stairs so make sure your party is ok with that. My ONLY complaint was that the upstairs stayed a little warmer than the downstairs/ AC wasn’t getting it quite as cool as we’d like but it wasn’t unbearable. Weather and heat index was very hot and humid so I’m sure that’s why it was struggling. Highly recommend this property! We had a great time!

    We hung out at the beach during the day. then kicked backed and fished off of the dock in the evening. Wish we would have stayed longer!

    The condo was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The location is unbeatable, and Carrie is as nice a person as you will ever meet. A few times in your life you will be lucky enough to correspond with someone who, even though you’ve never met them before, it feels like you’re talking to a lifelong friend. That is how I would describe Carrie. Extremely caring and helpful. The weather during our stay was perfect and we have no complaints or issues whatsoever. Hopefully someday we can book this place again. Thanks again for allowing us to stay in your beautiful condo!

    Plenty of space for a friends trip! Easy walking distance to the beach. The stairs gave us all a leg workout but we probably needed it! Would stay again!
