Main Living Room: QSS
Main Floor Bonus Room: QSS

ALL bedrooms have private, en suite bathrooms.

Shells is located on the north side of West Beach Boulevard, across the street from the beach and you can see the beach!

EASY DEEDED BEACH ACCES
You have beach access and a large pool for the guests of Shells. We aren't talking about blocks to reach the beach, it's right across the street, you have access to the beach by using the private walk way next to one of our homes at 1433 W. Beach Blvd! 465 ft walk to the beach!

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
Big. 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, 33x17x3-5'. 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 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.

We had an absolutely wonderful 7 night stay! It was perfect for the 8 of us! Very close and walkable to the beach! A great pool to relax in. And my favorite part was that everybody had their own bathroom! The house was super clean, spacious, and comfortable! Two refrigerators was so perfect! i hope we get a chance to stay again! [Yay! 😎😎😎 So glad you all had a fantastic time in my home and that everything was perfect for you all, including super clean! I relayed your kind words to my gang on the ground. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much for staying in our place. If you have any suggestions at all, shoot me or Bama Beach Houses a DM anytime, including to help set up that return trip! Would be happy to have you all again anytime! Thanks again Andrea! 🙏

We LOVED your home Everyone had way enough space! The air conditioner kept us nice and cold. Everything we needed was there. The pool was awesome. The people next door had the whole baseball team there and the parents which crowded us out some but you have no control over how many people were there. Definitely more than 20. We still loved it. Thank you!

What an amazing place! We wondered if it would be a hindrance booking a place that wasn’t on the beach. IT WASN’T! It was only a short 100 yard walk to the beach! The house was clean and beautiful, our family of 15 had no trouble at all fitting enjoyed many family dinners. The pool was perfect and was plenty big enough to not only accommodate our family but the neighbors family as well. The hosts were fantastic and we will definitely be renting here again FIVE STARS!!!

We had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your nice home. I would suggest updating the photos for the house--Shells is way better than the photos and we loved the all white bedding too. The pool was so nice and the beach very easy to get to for us. Thank you again for having us!

We really enjoyed our time in Gulf Shores. We had our entire family of 20 and had plenty of room for everyone. It was close to the beach and stores that we needed. The only problem we had is the bedroom with the two queen beds was too hot. We went and purchased a stand fan that helped a lot. We also enjoyed having two refrigerators because we do cook all our meals at the house. The pool was a great hit with the kids and it was nice to only share it with the other side.
