TWO REFRIGERATORS
Two Per side Yes two. Because you won't want to stay somewhere without an extra fridge once you have had them.
POOL
Private to the two sides of the duplex: no sharing with other places nearby. The pool is open all year. It's a big rectangle, 22x16x3-5' Rectangle. Lounge chairs are provided around the pool.
WIFI/INTERNET
YES! We have an awesome Eero mesh network to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home! That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like It is generally solid and ran > 100Mb down the last test--sufficient for several simultaneous video conference sessions for remote work and education. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests "troubleshooting" it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though, and likely better since its close in and new construction!
PARKING
There is available onsite, offstreet, parking for at least 6 midsize vehicles (per side), more if you stack well. In duplex units, please be neighborly about this.
SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, GRILLS ETC ETC
As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a "starter supply" of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, grills are not provided, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have both drip coffee makers and Keurigs as well.
PETS
We do consider well-behaved canine furry friends at many locations. This requires owner pre-approval, and is subject to a pet fee (currently $250 per pet). Approval in a duplex location, especially for peak weeks, generally is only available for guests renting both sides of the duplex. Please inquire.
No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

We recently stayed at Wits End East and had a great time! There were 19 of us total and the place was very spacious and clean. The pool kept the littles entertained when we were ready to get out of the sun for a bit. There was a lot of things to do nearby and many places to eat. Our host, Richard, was very prompt and helpful and was able to accomodate our furry friends. One of the absolute best trips we have taken! We will definitely be booking again!
The house was amazing. We had our family vacation, there was 12 of use, and there was plenty of room. The living areas got a little crowded when we were all in there, but that was expected with the large group. There was more than enough room for sleeping. The walkout to the Beach was so helpful with the smaller children. Everything was wonderful! We can't wait to book next years trip!
It could not have been more perfect. Your house was beautiful and perfectly appointed. It accommodated us 3 older ladies and the 4 kids, whom I think bed hopped throughout the week. Everybody had their own space which was perfect. The closeness to the shuttle pick up for Hang out for them could not have been more convenient. They would've had to walk otherwise, mom was on vacation too! Loved your recommendation for food, too. It was all delicious!
It was another great stay. We stayed in Wits End. It was a beautiful place. Very spacious. We did Sundancer last year. I think I may have liked it a little better since it has the pool in the sun vs under the house but the shady pool was nice for the kids! The hot water heater was out when we got there for the top floor. I contacted the company through the text number the next morning. They quickly responded and had someone there that day to check it and was replaced on the following day Tuesday. Thank you!
Snowbirds, that us! We stayed here December to the start of March. It was perfect for us, and our neighbors were great too. This is our second year here, and we have stayed in Bama Beach Houses homes many more than that. Always great. Hope to be back next year, health permitting. Thank you!
It was wonderful. We had a great time
The beach boardwalk rocked! We had a great time. thank you again for hosting us! I can't wait to book again next year. So be on the lookout for another request from me!!!
Owners very responsive and easy to work with. Loved the place. The beach is so nice and the walkover is super convenient to access. Thank you!
We won't ever rent with someone else if we don't have to. Rick was so helpful and generous with us when my son had some issues. We loved the place and hope to be back!
We really enjoyed our vacation - weather was great and the house was very accommodating. We stayed at Wits End about ten years ago and the added walk-over to the beach is amazing. The pool is still cold (but we enjoyed the privacy of our own space). We actually rented both sides (related parties).
We had an awesome week! The house is beautiful and the location and view are amazing... We had the best week and LOVED your house!!! Thank you so much!
We love the place.
We loved Wits End because my husband has COPD and with the wooden walk it was sure easy on him walking to the beach…
A very nice house. Very clean. The rooms were large. I loved the walkway to the beach.
Morning walks on the beach, chasing crabs at night, private pool, covered parking, room for your family and the in-laws (on separate floors, of course), this place has it all. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Wits End East. A short drive to all the popular Gulf Shores attractions, but far enough away from the crowds.
We stayed Thanksgiving Week 2023 at Wit's End East and it was excellent. Steps to the beach and close to Gulf Shores restaurants and shops. Nice big shaded pool on bottom level but fall temperatures kept us out. It'd be great in summer. Communication and instructions were great. We loved it.

2 fridges, but no working ice makers!
The boardwalk directly from the house over the sand dunes to the beach was a huge highlight. The beautiful view from the house of the beach and being able to see friends/family playing and sitting on the beach was advantageous. Spending time with friends/family was wonderful! & being able to get out of the sun and still enjoy the water with the pool under the house was great.
The house is as beautiful as the pictures show on the ad, well kept, plenty of room for 14 of us to enjoy a week of vacation. Accommodations were great, with all the amenities, kitchen supplied with everything needed to prepare meals for fourteen people. Beautiful view of the ocean sitting out on the patios, nice deck walk way to the beach. Close by eateries, and shops. Highly recommended as a home away from home. .
the duplex was great and so was the location. well stocked
No issues checking in, house was clean, loved the boardwalk it was a life saver for me. Enough room for all 15 of us, adults had their own bedroom, two bedrooms shared a bathroom and the kids had their own rooms on the top floor. Remember if you rent this house you are going to climb stairs - three stories we just put the kids on the third floor. Had two big balconies with great views and beach access. Location was also great . Also, with this house you are renting one side be aware you are going to have neighbors. There are two grills there but very little room to grill.
We again had a very nice time in Gulf Shores. We love the beach walkover and just being able to get to the beach for a while was so nice. The owner is very accommodating and responsive. Did not need the management company for anything. The house was clean and everything was in good shape when we arrived.. I would suggest checking the trash pullout cabinet in the kitchen—it was hard to open sometimes. Loved the big washer and dryer. A great trip. Too short. Looking forward to a return soon!
This property is in need of updating. The house was not properly cleaned. We ended up doing the cleaning and sanitizing ourselves. We sent several pictures and text messages to the property manager detailing the uncleanliness. Caulking around kitchen sink is black with mold. Carpets in bedrooms are worn and nasty. Coffee Maker, blender, and toaster need to be replaced. Most surfaces, counters, tables, rails, doors were sticky and unclean. Sand on bunk beds. Interior needs a fresh coat of paint. Furniture needs updating.
The home was wonderful and the support from the management company was excellent. Thank you so much!
