This is one of my guests' favorite places. Lots of repeat visitors each year! Great price for a recently completed redone beachfront duplex. RIGHT ON THE BEACH. Beach Axis is completely furnished and professionally decorated. It has a fully equipped kitchen including a dishwasher and microwave.
Beach Axis' deck is as close to the gulf as you can get in the area. Folks LOVE LOVE LOVE its gulf front decks! Most nearby units have their pool behind the homes, putting the pool between you and the beach. Not Beach Axis. Beach Axis' pool is streetside. Sit on the deck, enjoy the sunset, while most neighbors are behind you! How nice is that! The pool is private to the two sides of the duplex—not shared with any other home.

POOL
Big. Streetside. Private to the two sides of the duplex: no sharing with other places nearby. The pool is open all year. It's a big oval, 30x15x3-6'. 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 4-6 cars if you use space under the home and 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!
That's it! We think you'll have a great stay in our home. Reach out and let us know how we can help!
SNOWBIRDS! Up to 2/3rds off for off-season stays of 28 days or longer. Inquire.
Snowbirds welcome over winter! Inquire about monthly rates!
No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp (highly recommend steamed cajun from the shop across the street!), bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

The property is in a great location right on the beach! The view is perfect and the amenities were on point. It could use a little more attention to detail in the cleanliness category. There was evidence of previous renters left in various places and dusting was overlooked in main areas. The 3rd floor does have a musty smell, which I think I read in a review previously. I am pretty particular, but I would still stay at this location again as the mentioned items were minor. The duplex style house sleeps 16 comfortably and the pool is nice and private. The owners even had delicious chocolates delivered to say "thank you" for renting their property. It was a great week!!

We still LOVE Beach Axis. Its out third trip! My kids thought it was the BEST summer vacay yet! Rick is always very easy to work with and responsive, and Haleigh was so sweet. We already booked a return trip! The countdown begins!

We loved this house so much for our beach stay over July 4th! The location can't be beat (two miles from the gulf shores T). The house is right on the beach, and we easily walked out and set up our tent and chairs every day. The house is located on a slice of the best beaches you can get anywhere (imho). But what we loved the most about the house is that it had so many king beds, and each room has their own bathroom(!). It was amazing. There's also a cute basic market, ice cream shop, and restaurant literally right across the road. We basically didn't leave this magical house during the week. We'll be back!

Our stay in your home was wonderful! The house was so nice and it was a very much needed vacation for all of us. It was our first time in Gulf Shores and we loved it there. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

It was nice - however during the heavy rains the 2nd floor bedroom door leaked terrible!!

We rented both sides of this home for our wedding and reception. It was wonderful. We had plenty of room. Space underneath to set some things up, and it was SO close to the water. Thank you so much for allowing us to hold our special event at your home!

The place is great. The beds were comfy, your outdoor furniture was awesome. It had everything we needed. That pool was perfect. There was a leak in the second floor door, but we reported that and they came and fixed it! It was actually from the upstairs door.

Thanks so much for checking in! It was WONDERFUL! We loved how close it was to the beach and we got ice cream every night across the street. The anniversary celebration was amazing!
We were concerned about the neighbors but we never heard them. We are looking at booking next year with even more family as the neighbors. Would be so fun!
Great place! We enjoyed it so much! Thanks again for providing a great place to stay. Correspondence was great!

We had an awesome time once again! We love the location of the house and all the conveniences! We did call the management company twice during our stay. We had a great time and are looking at booking Beach Axis again, or maybe Sundancer next door, for our next potential trip!

Beach Axis was great for our winter stay! Thank you for having us!

Overall 18 of us enjoyed our stay. Info prior to arrival was great. We needed door and wall hooks for wet towels and a broom/dust pan to sweep up sand. Third floor was extremely damp. Carpet felt wet. Pool and beach access was great!

We had a fantastic stay in Beach Axis. It was everything we could have hoped for after the awful COVID lockdown. We are so glad to have been able to come back and be on the beach together! Thank you!
8.0
Wonderful Family Vacation. Just about everything was really good. The only big drawback was that we had to wait 3 hours past our check in time to have the house cleaned. To be fair , we were warned via email that there may be a delay in checking in. One advantage this property has compared to others is the house is right next to the beach sand dunes. Most properties put the pool between the house and the beach. This property has the pool between the house and the street.

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed being in your home so much!! The house is great and worked for our family so well. The location was great, also. I'm always in my happy place at the ocean, so it was a joy to be able to spend a week in your home! It was a beautiful week.

Our trip was wonderful! We enjoyed our stay in your home. Loved being right on the beach. We loved the location so much, including being so close to The Beach House, S & S Seafood & the ice cream shop right across the street.
The management company never came back to fix the towel rack but that was my bad for sending them away in the first place. Also, I noticed the mirror in the top floor master is only staying up by leaning against the lights. I looked behind the mirror and noticed that the nail was out of the wall. Thank you!

Great home for family beach trip. We enjoyed this house so much - everyone went on and on about the location. Almost a Fort Morgan feel with quieter beaches, but close to everything you need. The owner was fast to respond regarding any issues we had. We had 9 adults and 2 children under 2 and the space was perfect. Will definitely stay again.

This year marked our 6th year in one side or the other of the Beach Axis home. And once again it did not disappoint!! Rick and his team are top notch and take care of their customers. Very convenient location on the beach with a great convenience store (Waves) directly across the street. We will be back!!

Everything was wonderful as always! You all are always very accommodating and informative on getting us any information we need. We really do enjoy staying at your houses. The house was great and had plenty of room for all of us. The location was perfect. No complaints here! And thank you for the cheesecake. It was delicious. I was lucky enough to get a piece of it as it was gone within a few hours! You'll be hearing from us in the future as we love the area and staying with you guys!

The owners were very quick to respond to all questions. The AC wasn't working on the third floor on our second evening. When I called the management company I didn't expect anything to be done until the next day but they had someone come out that night with a fix for the night. They replaced the unit the next day! The place was great!

Your house was everything we wanted and needed for our reunion! All bedrooms were great. Each had its own bathroom. Living areas and balconies were perfect. We had 9 adults and it was perfect. We were there during an excessive heat warning in August so it was very hot but otherwise we enjoyed our trip immensely. And loved having a pool to cool off in! Would come back again.

This property was a perfect location on the beach. We could even walk to a grocery store and restaurant. The house was perfect for our party of nine and was even roomier than it looked like in the pictures.

5 stars all around!! This is the second year we've stayed at one of these properties and are once again extremely impressed. The property was beautiful and the location was perfect! We had two small issues and Rick and his team are super responsive and nothing but helpful. We are hoping to return next year!

Great location and we had plenty of space for our part of 14. The 3rd floor has some black mold/ ventilation issues and the house could use a deep clean for sure

The good the bad and the ugly. There was no ugly. There was no bad. The cold snap was unanticipated but even with the very cold weather we all stayed warm, toasty and had no issues. My kids will tell you I was born with a bottle of windex in hand and I found the property to be very clean when we arrived. We found the property exceptionally well equipped. There were more than adequate towels. Everyone found the beds comfortable. This was a family trip allowing me the pleasure of cooking for my family and my grandchildren. There was more than an adequate supply of dishes, silverware, pots and pans including large pots. Two bedrooms on each floor with a deck on each floor was more than enough room for all to be comfortable. We found the third floor deck gets the least amount of wind. The sunrise and sunset views are amazing as the property is situated directly behind the dunes close to the beach. There is a sandbar in the water which causes the waves to break away from the shore allowing the children to play by the shore without having to contend with waves. The birds and dolphins like to hang out by the sandbar. Upon arriving and settling in we found a few little things which needed attention, passed them on and received a thank you response. We had no issues and recommend this property without hesitation.

Our experience at Beach Axis east was great. The house was clean & as described in the listing. In fact, the house feels larger than the listing photos show. The furniture was comfortable & the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to cook a few family meals. The only thing I will mention that could’ve been better was the smart tvs didn’t have the usual streaming apps installed so a roku or similar device would’ve been nice.
Overall, 5 stars from us!!!

Great property. Clean, plenty of room and no crowds on beach like it can be near condos. Pool very nice and not fighting for chairs as it is for you and the other part of the duplex. Great check in and no issues during the stay.

Had a great stay here, directly on the beach.

The property is very misleading online pics make it seem like pool is behind house and just for one duplex. Pool is facing the road. Every cabinet sticks or doesn’t line up at all. Most furniture in house is horrible, broken drawers etc. we had to share a grill with the other duplex. Most beach houses provide some type of beach toys, umbrellas or chairs there is none at this house. Overall I would not recommend this you can get much nicer homes for the price.! We have been coming to gulf shores for 25 years and this is by far the worst home.
10.0
Wonderful home in the perfect location right on the beach with a grocery store, ice cream shop and fish market right across the street. Also every bedroom has a bathroom.!
