The Veranda is an elegant, upscale home designed for weddings, family gatherings, retreats, and larger groups, situated on the beach in Gulf Shores. The 100-foot Gulf-front lot offers panoramic views of the turquoise waters, making it the perfect location for special events.

Thanks to the design team, including a nationally renowned architect, the home combines modern luxury with local charm. Key features include a shaded veranda, ‘haint’ blue porch ceiling, oak flooring, Alabama marble in the powder rooms, and regional artwork. The interiors, with natural hues and beach-inspired accents of blues and greens, blend seamlessly with the outdoor environment. The inclusion of an elevator enhances accessibility, making the property suitable for guests of all ages and mobility levels. A beautiful dune walkover connects the house directly to the beach.

The ground level includes a large open area under the house with recessed ceiling lights and electricity. The property is equipped with an integrated sound system, providing high-quality sound across various areas of the house, deck areas and ground level, ideal for hosting parties or receptions. Stairs or the elevator lead up to the main level. The main level deck features a heated swimming pool and outdoor kitchen.

On the main level, an open floor plan provides versatile seating arrangements for large groups. The living room includes a large flat-screen TV with surround sound and Apple TV, making it perfect for media presentations or family entertainment. The spacious kitchen is equipped with a Wolf 8-burner gas range, multiple ovens, expansive refrigerator and freezer space (total of 3 refrigerators and 2 freezers), and a commercial ice machine, making it easy to serve large groups.

The dining area seats 26+ people with a mix of tables and bar seating. Three dishwashers, large trash bins, and two sinks simplify cleanup.

French doors open onto the covered main deck, offering a stunning beach view, the dune walkover, the outdoor kitchen with a luxury 48” gas grill, and the heated pool. Ceiling speakers provide music for relaxation, parties, or receptions.

The main level includes two handicap-accessible bedrooms with roll-in showers and spacious bathrooms. One bedroom has a direct view of the beach and deck and the other faces the lagoon. We are glad to discuss accessibility needs in detail.

All 10 bedrooms feature luxurious beds, private baths, flat-screen TVs, ceiling fans, bedside reading lights, and electronic outlets, with water views of the Gulf, Lagoon, or both.

The third floor has 5 bedrooms, including two directly Gulf-front. The living/media room on this floor offers a cozy space with seating and electronic amenities, allowing groups to enjoy different movies or presentations. The deck extends the full width of the house, with sun decks at the east and west ends, offering additional space for receptions. A queen-sized sleeper sofa is available in the media room.

The fourth floor is a private retreat and is perfect for wedding couples. There is also a cozy living room space which includes a large L-shaped sofa (with sleeper bed), a wet bar, small refrigerator, ice machine and a microwave. One bedroom boasts an oversized shower and walk-in-closet, and the other a jacuzzi tub, and each bedroom has a comfortable king bed. The living room is equipped with an ethernet connection and workspace. The top Gulf-side deck offers breathtaking views of the coastline.

For larger events or gatherings, The Veranda can be combined with its sister property, Veranda Laguna, a 6-bedroom estate just across the street. Together, these two homes offer unparalleled flexibility, with both Gulf and Lagoon front access, two heated pools, and parking for over 20 vehicles. These properties can accommodate 46+ guests in 16 bedrooms, offering plenty of space for large family vacations or multi-family get-togethers. Veranda Laguna can be found on Vrbo under listing number 2465559.

    Everything was great. It fit our needs perfectly. One complaint…the minimal amount of basic supplies such as toilet paper, trash bags, etc. was annoying. To spend this kind of money and to have to worry about purchasing extra supplies caught us off guard. Should be included in our opinion.

    The house was in a perfect location- not right in town, amd not too far out. Beautiful beach area!! The house was everything and more, having our own pool just topped it off! Can't brag on the management team/workers enough, absolutely amazing!

    There were 16 of us, aged 7-70! We had the greatest time! The house was perfect for our needs. We had plenty of room and the kitchen was awesome as we did most of our meals at the house! The beach is beautiful, and we loved the boardwalk to the house and the water for rinsing our feet.

    The Veranda beach house is spectacular! Very spacious, with beautiful decor! Our large family of 28 (ranging in age 2.5 months to 75) had plenty of bedroom space and also enjoyed the spacious living area and kitchen on the main floor. Extra lounge areas on upper floors were utilized by young adult and teenage grandchildren. With toddlers and babies, the gated private pool with gate lock was much appreciated for safety! The pool is partially shaded during most of the day, but plenty of pool sun available, if you want it! Beds were very comfortable, and linens high quality. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of cookware, serving utensils etc. for a very large group. The private boardwalk from the main level was wonderful, and beach area also private. We had 6 cars and there was ample covered parking. Kelly was wonderful to work with and gave us recommendations to help plan our 40th wedding anniversary! This was our 4th family gathering at Gulf Shores, and our stay at the Veranda house was the absolute best!! We hope to return! Deb and Ray from Ohio

    Beautiful, but maintaining the home is needed. In order to keep the home as a wedding venue or vacation rental. If you would like a list Let me know.

    I carefully planned a 50th bday celebration with 22 family & friends for almost 2 years. I can't thank the management company enough for making this an amazing stay. From the beautiful house and property to allowing me to ship some items ahead of our stay, they really made this the easiest trip to plan. Kelly was instrumental in making it all happen & I can't thank her enough. Positives: 1-Amazing management company & communication was fantastic. 2-The house was spectacular! Every room was beautiful. The kitchen was plentiful in all you needed to prepare large meals, cook and clean. The bathrooms were great! Showers never ran out of warm water. All bedrooms had amazing mattresses and inviting decor. The gathering area downstairs NEVER felt crowded, even with 22 of us. The outdoor decks were a wonderful addition for people to lay in the sun, read & drink coffee in the morning, or just relax after a busy day. The temp was comfortable for everyone, so air conditioner kept up fine. The pool was a comfortable temperature. Cool enough to feel refreshing, but not too cool you couldn't get in on a cooler day. The parking was plentiful. 3-The beach was amazing!! Pretty, white sand and nice water. A few negatives: 1. Small pool- there isn't an opportunity to hang out in it with a large group 2. No water accessories 3. A/V never worked right & too difficult for many to enjoy 4. Sofa beds had bad mattresses. Overall amazing stay!!!!
