2024-07-19: NEW Virtual Tour! Its the latest greatest. New color scheme. More! HDR pics coming soon!
2024-06-12. New furnishings. Lots of updates completed last week. So nice. Will get new pics next week (if it doesn't book last minute as it has a deal on it since we finished early). Be first!
2022: NEW! Complete renovation of upstairs bathroom and of the kitchen, and beachfront windows! Awesome!
5BR beachfront home with private beachfront heatable pool! Sleeps 17. In the heart of everything, and right on the beach! Renovated upstairs bathroom and of the kitchen, and beachfront windows! Awesome! Only 0.5 miles from the intersection of Highway 59 and Beach Blvd makes walking to restaurants and shops a breeze. Two fridges. Lots of parking. Doggos welcome with pre-approval!
Not only are you in the perfect location for enjoying all that Gulf Shores has to offer, the home itself is designed to maximize your vacation experience with its large Gulf front pool, spacious living area with expansive Gulf views, flat panel TV's in the living area and bedrooms and perfect bedding for the entire family.
Bedding is currently as follows:
BR 1: South Bedroom. King
BR 2: Southwest Bedroom. King plus Twin Sleeper Sofa
BR 3: Northwest Bedroom. King
BR 4: Upper Southwest BR. King plus built in Queen in BR Alcove
BR 5: Upper Southeast BR. Two twin bunks (2 x twin over twin)
Other: Queen Sleeper Sofa in Living Room
LOCATION!
Walkable to Bahama Bob's, Hangout, so much more! Convenient to walk to ice cream, Island Outfitters, beverage store, Italian ice, and more! 10 minutes walk to the Hangout, 2 minutes to Bahama Bobs (we are West of Bahama Bobs). So close to everything, yet in your own private home, and... you get your own private heatable pool. No sharing unlike condos etc!
POOL?
You bet. Private heatable private pool. No sharing. BIG too: 26x15x3-5' Rectangle, and dded a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82-84' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a nightly surcharge that varies by season and is per night for length of stay (the 12 month range has been $65-85 depending on season) gas is expensive right now, this does not actually recoup the cost!). Simply request the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and any time up to at least a few days before check in so we can get it on before you arrive. See our FAQ about heatable pools too. The pool is beachside, in the sun, with an expansive deck area around it, PLUS a nice shaded and sheltered area to escape the heat, right under the home. Nice!
EXTRA FRIDGE
We added an extra full size fridge under the stairs in the entry by the kitchen. Because... you NEED two fridges when at the beach!
BEACH ACCESS
Beach access could not be easier! Walk outside and their is nothing between you and the beach except your own private pool. Its RIGHT there. Serious beach access, seriously right on the beach, and right in the middle of everything too!
PARKING
There is available onsite parking for as many vehicles as you should be reasonably bringing to a 5 bedroom. 8 cars? Sure. 10 maybe. But do you really need than many cars? 5-6 cars would have lots of room to spread out!
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 rock solid and ran > 250Mb 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!
SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, 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 drip coffee makers and most now have Keurigs as well.
PETS
We do consider well-behaved canine furry friends. This requires owner pre-approval, and is subject to a pet fee (currently $250 per pet). Please inquire. Subject to restrictions which often vary by season. Again, please inquire.
No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

This is the BEST place we've ever stayed! Right on the beach, management was quick to respond to any questions and the house is centrally located to main attractions. We booked our trip for next year before we left!
[🙏 Thank you so much Amy! "Best place ever!" that's high praise, and we really appreciate it. Always here for you if you all need anything. Glad we could hook you up with the return to our SeaRae next year too! Reach out if you need anything, or have any suggestions for the home, us, or our communication. Best wishes for the rest of 2024 (and beyond!).]

Sea-Rae is a great place to spend your beach vacation! Nestled between two multi-level condos, it provides a sanctuary for families that like to be around people but not too close to them. My husband and I were amused when we realized that was how we felt after a couple of days. The home is comfortable and clean but do be ready to bring/buy cleaning supplies, PT, TP, garbage bags and such. That info is spelled out in the emails sent prior to arrival. There are grocery stores nearby if you do need to stock up. Loved the free standing ice machine, that was just a great little perk! The beds are comfortable, the showers are tight. Nice to have w/d so you don’t have to pack so many clothes. The pictures show the rooms are painted bright colors but they must have just finished updating because everything was neutral. Loved several of the wall art! The home is right on the beach so we could take breaks if you were hungry or too hot. The pool was nice but was much too warm during the heat of the day, it was August. We opted to have beach chairs and umbrellas set up for us by Ike’s Beach Service who were very pleasant and attentive. The driveway was huge with lots of parking, it was a bit hard to find when we got there but it was dark which made it a little challenging. We took short walks to restaurants and stores. We had such a great vacation and will definitely keep this home in our rotation!

The best accommodations that we hope to visit every year! I have never experienced service this great. Beautiful property with all of the amenities we were looking for! [Wow! Thank you so much Amy for the extremely kind words about our service and your stay in our SeaRae home! We'd be happy to have you and your family again anytime. Just reach out!]

Quoting my 5-year-old grandson after our second full day at SeaRea, “Can we live here all summer?” We had a wonderful week on a great property. Beach access and the private pool were a big hit with everyone. The rooms were clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room for everyone in the main living area. Televisions in all the rooms were a bonus for a couple of family members who brought their gaming consoles. With having a group of 12 people that included a 13-month-old, eating at restaurants is difficult. Knowing that, we originally planned on getting dinner take-out but discovered that many of the local restaurants did not offer take-out during peak time, i.e. after 3pm. The two refrigerators, though, came in handy, allowing us to get take-out at lunch and extra for dinner. The ice makers provided ample supply of ice for everyone. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, looking at the gulf early in the morning and late in the evening.

Our family and friends (10 total) can't say enough good things about this beach home! Location is perfect. Parking ample. Home is immaculate and view of beach and pool from back deck is amazing! The pool is clean and water a perfect temp. We just returned and no heater needed. If we were nitpicking, we might suggest some Tupperware type containers be stocked for storing food in fridge. Most VRBOs we have stayed at have them. Also, the coffee maker in the kitchen is not a Keurig so note that if bringing coffee from home. Having two refrigerators is a very smart idea for large groups. Check-in and Check-out very easy and communication with the rental agency is spot on! Any question was answered immediately. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a wonderful vacation where the beach is just a few steps away!!!!!

The house and location were great. The upstairs shower did not drain. Could use trash cans in the bed rooms,more bath towels for each room, and beach towels. Overall the house and our experince was great.
10.0 / 10.0
The stay was fantastic, and the house was as well. It was everything we had hoped for and more - the house was perfect for a couple families, the proximity to everything was great, the pool was great, and we had pretty good weather which is always an unknown for this time of year!
I will be sure to recommend this place to others that I know are coming down to visit because I don't think you can beat that place if you have a good sized family or group!
Thanks for the accommodations, and I will be sure to get in touch with you the next time we head down to Gulf Shores to visit!

Just the right size for our group. Everything was great. Hoped to return the next year, but already booked! Will have to get on it earlier for next next year!

We stayed at SeaRae with 8 adults and 5 kids. The house had plenty of room so you didn't feel like you were right on top of each other. The kitchen is a great size and the new ice maker was a huge benefit.
Since we were staying in early March, we opted to have the pool heated. We couldn't keep the kids out of it! They liked playing in the sand on the beach, but when they wanted to swim, the pool was the best option.
You couldn't ask for a better location either. This house is within walking distance to a number of great restaurants and bars. It's a perfect spot for both the kids and parents to have fun!

We went to Gulf Shores for a baseball tournament. My extended family, teenagers, their friends, parents and in-laws all were able to enjoy this home comfortably it was clean, had the supplies that you would need and wasn’t overly fussy. The kitchen was nicely stocked and it had a great washer and dryer. Had a nice chairs to sit in on the balcony and by the pool. Could watch the ocean from the home. It was an easy walk to get to the water. I love the fact that it’s an independent home and you don’t have to deal with others walking up the same stairs as you or risk your kids going into the wrong apartment. It was a great trip.

Everything was great. We had a pool heater issue, but got immediate response and it was fixed. Really appreciated that. The last house we rented down there gave us the run around and in the end it didn't really have a heater….heated by air temp.🤣 I polled all 12 that stayed with us and everyone loved it and would definitely rent it again. Only complaint was the week flew by! Thank you! You have a gem!!!

Great house and area. Easy private beach access with enough parking for a small sports arena. Plenty of beds and bathrooms, and the 16 of us never felt on top of each other due to the large living area, pool, patio, and under house area. Be sure to bring beach chairs, towels, toys, etc as there are none here. Also, bring plenty of toiletries including toilet paper and paper towels as they are limited. Overall great time, would stay again.

I can't say enough great things about this Beach House. Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!Richard's house exceeded our expectations!!! When we checked in, the house was immaculate! It is huge, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed and more!!! We had a large extended family with kids and grandkids, and we had more than enough room. It is very kid friendly. It's right on the beach, literally steps. The view was spectacular. The pool was wonderful and a great place to cool off after a day at the beach. By far, it is the best property I have ever stayed at. In fact, we were asked about it by several families on Beach during our stay, and we told all of them, "Book it!". The only negative is that we were so comfortable we did not want to leave! Highly recommend Richard's Beach House. Our family is working on dates to book next year!!!

Loved the house! Really enjoyed our stay. House was clean. The management company who worked with the house were very helpful. The pool people checked it least once that I know of. Only problem was the lack of sheets for one bed and that was corrected very fast. The big icemaker was a great surprise. With 15 of us it was used a lot and we really appreciated it. I hope we left it in good condition. Really tried to do our best. Thank you again for a spectacular family vacation.

No news is good news from us! Bama Beach Houses answered all of our questions beforehand with their proactive emails/notes/instructions. Very impressive—we knew what to expect, right down to the Keurig vs. pot on the coffee! 😊 SeaRae's location is fantastic—walkable to restaurants without the feeling of being crowded…a nice balance considering how crowded things have gotten in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach. The renovations to SeaRae were great…everything was perfect, clean, and well done. We loved having a private pool—with 5 kids on this trip, it made things much easier and more fun. We also appreciated someone coming a doing the cleaning during the week.
could continue to ramble, but I'll stop. The house was perfect, and the only thing that kept us from booking it for the same week in 2024 is my older sister going rogue and (foolishly) suggesting we go to Key West next year. That won't happen; so, we look forward to staying at SeaRae again soon! 😊
We could not have enjoyed our stay any more and appreciate you providing the space for a lot of great memories.

The house was exactly as shown and described. Location is excellent!! Easy access to the beach, very close to multiple restaurants and stores (walkable), and a very large driveway with ample parking. And the pool was a great amenity!! The management company was very responsive. A storm blew through the first night and a glass-top table on the deck was shattered. I was able to text them pictures and they called first thing in the morning and someone came out to cleanup. However, they offered to bring a new table next day and that was never delivered. The house was clean and comfortable. However, decor and fixtures (eg, shower heads, kitchen faucet, living room chairs, etc) could stand to be updated, and there were no basic supplies in the kitchen (eg, foil or saran wrap, spices, tupperware, etc). But, otherwise, all amenities were as described and worked well. Would stay here again for sure!
