This listing is for the West side unit. Beach Axis, West! You can also rent the other side, or both together as a 2x5 bedroom place. Like having a 10 bedroom but with two of almost everything: kitchens, living rooms, more! When renting both sides, guests may unlock the connecting door on the deck to allow for access between the two sides without going up and down the stairs from the main entries.
2023-06. NEW VIRTUAL TOUR. Check it out. Awesome!
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.
One side perfect for your group, then book my Beach Axis East and Beach Axis West listings for the individual units. Take one or both, you'll have a great stay either way! For both sides, check out the combined Beach Axis East & West listing!

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.
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!

Our group of 15 had an awesome time at Gulf Shores and highly recommend this property. Our 4 family groups each had plenty of room in their own space. The beach was just a short walk out the back door and when we weren’t playing in the gulf waters, we did spend some time each day in the pool. Even though it was a “shared” pool with the neighbors in the other side of this condo, we never were actually at the pool at the same time. There was plenty of parking space for our 3 large SUV’s. There was also a good area at ground level under the home with a picnic table and chairs and space to store our beach toys with a water faucet and hose for rinsing off our sandy shoes and bodies before entering the house. The kitchen was well supplied for our cooking needs and the washer/dryer was great to have available and was used almost daily. There is a local management company that is available should any problems or needs occur, but we never had a reason to contact them thus I only gave 1 star for communication with them.

Very pleased with property. It was just as advertised. OurA/C stopped working on our second day. Problem addressed within an hour which resulted in a major installation for which the crew worked several hours. Kitchen was totally equipped for any occasion. Front door knob needs fixing but it didn’t spoil my rating. Most of the will we weren’t able to get in the ocean due to wind but that is no fault of the rental. Very satisfied
10.0
Best beach front! Our Christmas gift to our adult children, spouses, and 5 grandchildren was amazing. Steps from the beach, we had the luxury of coming from the beach, to the house, to the pool. Each family had their own private floor with en-suite bathrooms. All bedrooms had balconies overlooking either the beach or pool. The open floor plan living/ kitchen area made visiting perfect. We were close enough to the action for access to restaurants, shops, and entertainment, yet far enough for a peaceful stay. We all had a blast: memories to last a lifetime

Even though the beaches were closed from Covid, the view was wonderful. Great location, close to restaurants and shops. Owner and management very responsive and helpful!

Fantastic vacation with my family. The beach is so close, and you can watch all the action right from the deck. We very much enjoyed our stay. We WILL be back!

Great house for families. This property is great for families with children. Plenty of room, good-size kitchen, and plenty of bathrooms. I like having rooms on separate levels so that napping children can have some quiet time while others are downstairs.

Great vacation! We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and stay at this rental. The only issue we encountered was when we arrived at the property around 6:00 p.m. it was still being cleaned. The cleaning ladies were extremely friendly and worked very hard to get things in order for us. I would rent this property again.

Hurricane Sally! We had a great 3 days of sun and surf then Sally Came and shook the house and left a mess and no power or water. So we could not wait to leave after that. We loved the house and location. I would recommend this home. We would stay again but not during hurricane season.

Stayed from after Labor Day to fall break. We had a very nice time. The home was clean and met our needs well, and the weather was perfect. All in all, an exceptional time!
10.0
The home is the perfect location and we had plenty of room.
I would definitely be back with less kids more adults because the pool is not too little kid friendly but the older ones enjoyed it.
The only issue was the ice maker never made ice and a few of the lights were out. The main one was the front steps.
The beds were comfy. The kitchen could use a few updates on the pots and pans side but I am a snob cook so I'm very picky (lol).
10.0
We could not stay in Chicago any more. We had to get out. And Beach Axis, and the owner Rick, were so nice and accommodating. Seafood boil on the beach so much better than snow at home!
10.0
We had a fabulous time! Loved,loved,loved the house and the location! We're used to staying in townhomes on the beach and this has been one of the most comfortable and certainly the closest to the beach. We like to do a lot of our own cooking and the kitchen was very well stocked. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! Cindy
10.0
We had a great time. Owners responded promptly to a couple of small issues. This home is closer to the beach than any other I've stayed in. So easy to walk back and forth! We had 6 adults and 6 children - plenty of space for all.
10.0
We had a great time! We loved that the house was in such a great location and was so close to the beach. I loved how nice the picnic area underneath the house was. It was so nice to have so much room to store our chairs and umbrellas. A really great bonus was the separate ice maker. We loved that feature because we could fill our coolers for the beach each day and enjoy our snacks and drinks all day on the beach while they stayed cold. You really should highlight that bonus feature of the home. We did take two Yeti coolers to store our canned drinks and waters in during our stay since you did warn us that the refrigerator would take some time to cool off a lot of drinks. Thank you for warning us so we could be prepared. We visited the ice cream shop across the street at least twice and it was so good. We also ate lunch at the Beach House directly across the street and had their fish tacos. My daughter in law said they were the best she had ever had. We went to Bahama Bobs twice and loved the coconut shrimp. However, my husband's favorite place was Big Mike's Steak house near Orange Beach. We went there twice for steak.... Everything was clean and orderly when we arrived. Hope you have a great week!

When we arrived, we were supposed to be staying at beach axis west but there was already someone in that side when we got there. I called the management number and we were given a door code for the east side. Luckily there was no one in that side. It was an easy fix, just a little confusing. My mom had some issues with the cleanliness of her bathroom. I had some food that was between my bedside table and the bed. Otherwise, the unit was clean. I loved the fact that the house was right on the beach and I did not have to worry about the kids crossing a busy street to get to the beach. We enjoyed the pool and it looked to be maintained pretty well. We had some issues with the internet which was corrected by someone from your excellent, friendly staff. I also loved that we were close to stores. Location was great. Overall we had a great time. Thank you

This is one of the best places I have stayed at in the area! Great location; Waves and a few restaurant options right across the street. Not too far from shopping and restaurants. Check in was very simple and the house was very clean! There was more than enough parking as well.

We’ve booked our vacation here the past two years with our friend group and their families. It’s a great location. Short walk to the beach and a great restaurant right across the street. We love staying at this condo!

Property was located right on the beach. There were 4 bedrooms with king size beds. Another bedroom contained two sets of bunk beds. The lower bunks were full size beds. Additionally there was a set of bunk beds in one of the king size bedrooms if you had a small child that you needed to keep an eye on. Bonus feature was a wet bar with an ice maker to fill up your cooler daily for the beach. Beach view was great! Nice picnic area underneath house where you could sit and enjoy lunch. If you have a large group staying here, I would recommend bringing a cooler to store your canned drinks free up space in the refrigerator. Good supply of dishes, glassware, and pans available in unit.

Our family had a great time in this property. Having beachfront access was important and the pool was clean and great for the kids. Close walk to a small grocery as well as restaurant and Seafood shop. Overall a great vacation and would highly recommend this property. There were a few things that are needed for a large group like ours. The silverware was lacking some pieces - especially forks. The kitchen overall was very well equipped and the ice maker was an unexpected blessing.
10.0
We truly enjoyed our stay here. The house was just the right size for our extended family. It was also extremely clean and well prepared for our arrival. We loved being able to walk from the deck to the beach directly in front of us. There are no large towers close by so the beach isn't crowded even in peak season. We were able to set up our beach location easily each day - even when we didn't make it to the beach until late morning or early afternoon.
The house has everything you need for a family vacation. There are plenty of dishes, pots and pans, cooking utensils, etc. There is a small grocery store across the street for any items you forgot to pick up at the grocery store.
The beds in all the rooms have very comfortable mattresses and everybody slept well.
The house has parking underneath the unit which is very nice as you can unload your car and take anything directly up the stairs. The outdoor hose by the stairway to the deck also helps keep everything clean from the beach.
The on-site pool is only shared with the family staying in the attached unit. It is big enough for both families and kept very clean with plenty of seating.
We will definitely be staying here in the future.

We had a great experience with this vacation. The house is right on the beach and also very close to a restaurant, an ice cream shop, fresh sea food shop, and a grocery store(within walking distance, so perfect). They had construction on the property the week before and we got a nail in our tire from the driveway. The owners not only fix our tire, they had it done in the driveway so we didn't have to take time out of our vacation to have it fixed. Then they sent us a cheesecake for our trouble! We very much enjoyed our stay and would stay here again in the future.

Everything on this property was as advertised. We were with 3 other families, so in all we were 20 people! It was a great location and it was easy for us to give the older kids some freedom without feeling insecure. We loved every minute! Believe me....I'm a mom who is very on top of her kids and I was able to give them some freedom!
