You will absolutely love staying at Blue Parrot #8, which is right on the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Blue Parrot #8 appeared on the TV show Island Life (Season 4 Episode 9). This beautiful spacious gulf front 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home sleeps 14 and is complete with everything you need to have a perfect beach vacation. The shared beach front swimming pool with comfortable lounge chairs is perfect for relaxing and playing (pool heater gas charge is $60/day extra). The two beautiful largedecks provide uninterrupted breathtaking Gulf views of the sparkling waters and serene sugar white sand. The first level of the home offers a spacious and fully equipped kitchen. The lovely dining table seats ten and a cozy breakfast bar seats four to five. The large and open living area provides spectacular Gulf front views. (From the pool view, the unit is the left side of the duplex.)

As of January 2025, all furniture in the home is new except for the kitchen table. Also, all bathrooms have gone through full or partial renovations (new countertops, mirrors, faucets and light fixtures). [The exterior was painted from yellow to light blue. The video still needs to be updated.]

The main level of the home features 2 bedrooms, a full bath, a kitchen, a dining area and a living room. The first bedroom on the main level has a king size bed and the second bedroom on the main level is just off of the kitchen area and has two single beds. The 2 bedrooms on the main floor share a bathroom that is accessible from the hallway. The second level of the home features 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king size bed, a private bath and a private gulf front deck. The middle bedroom has 2 bunk beds and the north bedroom has a king size bed and they share a full size bathroom between these two rooms. The layout and design of Blue Parrot #8 are perfect for comfort, privacy and entertaining. Located in the heart of Gulf Shores, only 1.8 miles from Highway 59, Blue Parrot #8 is a perfect beach house with all of the comforts and luxuries of home.

There are less than 50 houses in Gulf Shores where the pool is between the house and the ocean and this is one of them. The pool recently went through a major renovation (new concrete, fence, etc.).

For technology lovers, the home has internet download speeds up to 1 GB and all 6 televisions are HD TVs each with YouTube TV provided and access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc.

The unit comes with bed linens (pillow cases, sheets and blankets) and bathroom linens (bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths, and bath mats). Beach towels are not provided. One roll of toilet paper is provided per bathroom. Wash cloths, dish towels, a roll of paper towels, a packet of dish washing detergent and a small bottle of dish washing liquid are provided for the kitchen.

The unit also has a very large ground level storage room we call the Toy Closet (see picture). It is stocked with beach chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, beach toys and pool toys for use by guests. This gives you more space in your vehicle during travel since you do not have to bring these items with you. You can also use this room to store your own things so you don't have to carry them inside the living space.

The AC does not have a min/max block so you can cool the unit to your desired temperature.

Small shower chair is provided.

We look forward to hearing from you so we can help you have the greatest beach vacation ever!

    Alex was amazing in making sure that we were well taken care of. The house was so clean. The beds were very comfortable. The pool was perfect. The sun rise was a beautiful view from the deck. I cannot wait to stay in Parrot #8 again.

    Pool time was awesome and the ocean view was amazing. The only suggestion I would have would be to have a wooden walkway out to the beach but I know that would be a large expense. Beautiful property and the host Alex was great to work with and very clear on expectations. We will definitely be back!

    Our family rents a beach house every year for our summer vacation and this property is our absolute favorite! The house easily accommodated our large family. The children enjoyed the easy access to the beach and the swimming pool right off the deck was a huge hit. The beach was not crowded at all due to the location. The owner quickly responded to our questions. We definitely recommend this beautifully decorated house. It had everything we needed or wanted including the bonus beach closet of toys and chairs.

    The only problem that we had was the lack of privacy on the deck. There needs to be some sort of a divider from the adjoining deck. We couldn’t hang out on the deck without having strangers there with us.

    We had 3 families with 7 kids age ranges (0-4) and this place was great for us! Being right on the beach was perfect and everything provided was so convenient and helpful!
