CHANGE YOUR CURRENT SITUATION — PRIVATE WEST BEACH HOUSE WITH BEACH, POOL, LAGOON & PRIVATE PIER

Why choose between the beach, pool, fishing, and the water when you can have it all

Welcome to Current Situation, a spacious, multilevel private vacation home in the sought-after West Beach area of Gulf Shores, Alabama. This unique family-friendly beach house gives you easy access to the Gulf of Mexico, a private beach, community pool, lagoon, private fishing pier, and incredible panoramic water views—all in one vacation.

Whether you’re planning a family beach vacation, a group getaway, a fishing trip, or simply want to relax and enjoy everything Gulf Shores has to offer, this home gives you the space, privacy, and location to make it happen.

PRIVATE BEACH • PRIVATE HOME • PRIVATE PARKING

This is a true single-family vacation home—not a condo. You have the entire home, private driveway, and private parking area with no shared living space at the property.

The home is located along West Beach Boulevard, just steps from beach access via the boardwalk. The beach in front of this small community is limited-access, meaning you won’t experience the crowds found at many public Gulf Shores beaches—even during the busy summer season.

You can enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the water, spend the afternoon on the beach, cool off in the pool, fish from the private pier, and return home to your own spacious retreat.

FOUR WAYS TO ENJOY THE WATER

BEACH: Just steps from the home with convenient boardwalk access.

POOL: Enjoy the private pool shared only by the small six-home complex.

LAGOON & PRIVATE PIER: The private pier is perfect for fishing, swimming, relaxing, or enjoying the lagoon. A kayak is provided for your family’s water adventures.

PANORAMIC VIEWS: Multiple decks and the incredible third-floor lookout bedroom provide breathtaking views of the Gulf and lagoon.

SPACIOUS 4-BEDROOM BEACH HOUSE

This large 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom multilevel home comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests and can accommodate up to 10 guests when children are included.

The home is designed with families and groups in mind, offering plenty of indoor and outdoor living space, multiple decks, water views, and room to spread out.

Wake up to beautiful beach views and enjoy access to two rooftop decks where you can take in the sunrise, sunset, and coastal scenery with virtually nothing obstructing your view.

The lookout bedroom features:

* Queen-size bed
* Panoramic beach views

* Two rooftop decks
* Central air conditioning

PRIVATE PARKING FOR UP TO 6 VEHICLES

Bring the whole crew. The large private parking area can accommodate up to six vehicles, making this home especially convenient for larger families and groups traveling together.

There is also a ground-level garage-style foyer where you can easily bring in coolers, beach gear, luggage, toys, and other vacation supplies.

An elevator is available from the ground level to help make access easier for guests with mobility needs or anyone who simply doesn’t want to carry luggage and beach gear up the stairs.

CLOSE TO EVERYTHING GULF SHORES HAS TO OFFER

While the home feels peaceful and secluded, you’re still close to the action.

The Hangout and the heart of Gulf Shores are approximately 3 miles away, putting you close to restaurants, shopping, entertainment, nightlife, family attractions, and everything that makes Gulf Shores one of Alabama’s favorite beach destinations.

Enjoy the best of both worlds: a quieter private beach retreat when you want to relax and easy access to the attractions when you’re ready to explore.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR A BEACH VACATION

We’ve designed this home so you can arrive, unpack, and start enjoying your vacation.

Depending on availability, you’ll find items such as:

* Beach chairs some but not many we recommend renting a set or having set up done by local businesses
* Beach umbrellas
* Beach toys
* Pool toys
* Coolers
* Strollers
* Kayak
* Outdoor seating
* Outdoor shower
* Park-style charcoal grill

Charcoal is not provided.

Please treat these shared vacation items with care. If something is lost, damaged, broken, or discarded, guests are responsible for replacing it.

PET-FRIENDLY

Pets may be welcome. HOA does have some restrictions. Please include pet information on rental agreement.

PERFECT FOR FAMILIES & MULTIGENERATIONAL GROUPS

This home is ideal for:

* Family beach vacations
* Multigenerational vacations
* Couples traveling together
* Friends’ getaways
* Fishing trips
* Beach lovers
* Summer vacations
* Holiday getaways

Additional charges may apply for oversized groups. Please request a quote for groups larger than the standard occupancy. Bedding, beds, towels, and supplies are provided based on the number of guests reported on the reservation.

CLEAN & READY FOR YOUR ARRIVAL

Your vacation home is fully sanitized and prepared between guests so you can arrive knowing your home has been carefully cleaned and prepared for your stay.

HURRICANE SEASON & TRAVEL INSURANCE

When booking during hurricane season, August through October, we strongly recommend purchasing CSA travel insurance or comparable travel protection.

Travel insurance can provide important protection if you are unable to travel due to a named storm or other covered circumstance. Please review the policy carefully to understand what is and is not covered before purchasing.

    The kitchen was well-supplied. Very clean. Washer, dryer, elevator were all in good order. The owner was very pleasant and responsive. The location was great. Relaxing decks. Comfortable beds. Loved the outdoor shower. We had a great time. As anything close to the ocean does, the exterior of the house is beginning to show some wear. Salt air beats everything up...it's part of the ambiance.

    House was clean, perfect for our visit to the coast. Some areas could use a little repair but nothing by that comprised us being able to enjoy our time there. Close walk to the beach and had everything we needed. Closet full of “beachy” things saved us from having to haul a bunch or spend a lot of money. Would stay again!

    Great location. Traffic on this part of West Beach Blvd is light, so walking across to access the beach is safe and easy. Bre was readily available was very patient with me, as I am a low tech sort of guy! Furnishings in house were nice. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed and then some. The elevator was a great ammenity for moving heavy boxes up during our arrival and sadly, down for our departure. We had brought our own floats, chairs, and umbrellas, but had we forgotten them, there were plenty of each provided for our use. All enjoyed our stay and are excited for our return.

    It is pet friendly, there is an elevator, it is a short walk to the beach, and a nice walk to the pool then to the dock bayside. Bre answered my questions. We did discuss her cleaning service was not cleaning it as well as they should be, there was sand on the bedroom floors, and the floors in general wernt cleabed well. However there were plenty of clean towels, bedding was clean, and fresh. There were 6 of us. We enjoyed it.

    This was a great place to stay. We really enjoyed our stay at this quiet retreat. The host always responded when I messaged her and it was pet friendly (we also used our kennels when we were out to ensure no accidents). Very close walk to the beach. We had to cross the road to get to beach access, but it is not a busy highway. There are obvious wear and tears to the house (which is to be expected if you rent out to others- also the cleaning crew could step up their efforts as we had to clean up stuff that should have been done by them the day we checked-in) but nothing that would inhibit a stay. We had a lot of space for our crew of 9. We truly enjoyed the stay and would 100% stay there again.

    For me the host was ALWAYS available. We had a few things that needed to be fixed and she had a wonderful handyman named Mickey with bright blue truck. He did a great job. The house was wonderful, the elevator worked with no problems and was a God send. Very roomy!! There was one thing we were not happy with, the cleaning person needs to be replaced!! Thank you Bre for a great 5 weeks stay

    Amazing! Huge home with large “everything you need and more” kitchen ready to cook for a big group. Fancy washer/dryer. All electronics and WiFi perfect. HVAC works great. Panoramic views from top decks. Shade on two lower decks and underneath. Small cooled garage for easy unloading, with second refrigerator. Elevator that serves as dumbwaiter or wheelchair access. Beach access, pool, and also pier with shaded gazebo on lagoon. Carpeted stairs, good for older dog, there were even some doggie gates in the closet. Our favorite of five rentals in Gulf Shores this year. Bre was attentive, helpful and kind. We will rent this unit again!

    Location was great! Loved having an elevator for luggage! Backs were saved! Owner promptly responded to texts. Two of the five beds were good. Keys did not unlock the gate to the pool and fishing pier however. Having the beach toys and umbrellas were awesome! My grandchildren loved it! The property is well stocked and supplied for beach stays!

    The elevator was the gold star of our vacation and made all the difference with aging parents with low mobility. The communication wasn’t timely. Amenities were in disrepair and unusable. And while I expect to bring many things to a vacation, batteries for the remote and toilet paper are not on my list.

    We loved the location and how much space we all had in the house. The private beach area and access were very convenient! The pool was easily accessible and clean. The owner was quick to respond which was nice. The house definitely is not deep cleaned so don't be surprised at the crumbs and such in cabinets and drawers, but the owner does specify it's not deep cleaned. The overall condition of the house needs some repairs, but this didn't hinder our stay. The comments about the window in the upstairs bathroom being taped around is accurate and the bed off of the kitchen we found out wasn't very sturdy, but again the owner took care of that issue as quickly as she could when it broke. I did expect the house to be in a little better condition based on the pictures and price we paid, but it definitely needed some TLC. Again we loved the location and nothing hindered our stay with the condition of the house, we just were a little surprised.
