This listing is for the East side unit. Shells, East! Each side is a private unit with 6 bedrooms, kitchen, living room, and more. No sharing. You CAN also rent the other side, or both together: two of almost everything: kitchens, living rooms, more! When renting both sides, guests may unlock the connecting doors to allow for access between the two sides near the kitchens without going up and down the stairs from the main entries.
Looking for an incredibly nice, upscale home to house a large group of people but you'd like to save a few dollars in the deal? The Shells duplex has 6 bedrooms on each side, balconies on two levels, ocean views from the south side rooms, a living room, and a lounge room.
Each side of Shells has the following sleeping arrangements:
Main Floor North BR: King
3rd Floor South BR: 2 Queens
3rd Floor Middle BR: Queen
3rd Floor North BR: King
4th Floor South BR: King
4th Floor North BR: Queen and Triple Bunk (twin over full)
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 really enjoyed our week. The house had the best air we have stayed in. Bama Beach Houses was awesome and is a part of the reason we would rent from you again.

We had a wonderful time at Shells. It was really nice and was very clean. We were there with three of our four kids, spouses and 9 grandkids. We all loved it. There were a few outlets that didn't work (first floor bathroom, one in the family room and a couple upstairs). And the first floor bedroom/balcony door was hard to open. Otherwise everything was great!

This house was perfect for our large group! The house had everything we needed and was a very short walk to the beach. The location was close to everything and the pool was great!

This home was perfect for our family of 14 (5 being kiddos 7-12 in ages). Extremely CLEAN, with plenty of room for all of us and we didn't feel like we were ontop of each other. Loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils for us to cook. Our vacation was the first for my husband and I to have all our adult kids and grandbabies together for an entire week and we all had a blast. The location was perfect, not far from the Hang out, the beach was a short walk across street and can be seen and heard from front porches, the bay can been seen from back deck and can watch the sunrise from there as well. Oh the pool was a hit with kiddos too. We cant thank Richard and his crew enough for a perfect home and for checking on us throughout our stay to make sure all was good. 5-stars is not enough as this house exceeded that. We will book again, our grandbabies said “your house is LIT”, thanks again Richard! The Russell family, East Tennessee

Shells was very beautiful. Very quiet location. Within driving range of restaurants, shops, and other activities. The beach was within walking distance and was not crowded. The kids enjoyed the pool that was a nice amenity. The house was huge (stayed in the East side, 6 bedrooms of the 2-sided duplex), big enough to fit all of us and then some. I would recommend Richard's to anyone looking to stay at Gulf Shores, Alabama.

We had an absolute amazing time. Everything was as advertised on the website and in great condition. Thank you for allowing us to use your place for the week and hopefully we will be able to book again with you in the future.

We have a large family and had plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed the pool and the large decks. It was very easy to access the beach. There were grills left by previous renters so we took advantage!
10.0 / 10.0
I loved Shells East!! There was so much space for our group and we were able to come and go from the beach as much as we wanted!! You can see the water from almost all the bedrooms! The pool was a great addition for a really windy day when we wanted a more relaxed place to lay out!
10.0 / 10.0
Everything was great!! Our whole team stayed in both sides of the house. Everyone got along pretty well. The pool was a ton of fun for all of the kids since they all knew each other. Beach was great-yellow flags all week…the weather 🥵 well, let's just say, I'm from Arkansas and the humidity was insane 🤣 it was a fun, relaxing week with our friends and plenty of space for everyone. Loved how the outdoor balcony up too connected so the kids could go back and forth with their friends.
10.0 / 10.0
We had a great week! The set up of the house is great, and we love that each bedroom has a bathroom. The kids loved the lights in the pool. We loved your home and will definitely consider returning as long as we can still fit! Our family grows each year with marriage and babies!
10.0 / 10.0
We had a very nice time at Shells. The pool was big and got a lot of use! The beach access right across the street was very convenient versus walking to the public beach access. All in all, it was a great trip!!

So first I want to say that I gave 3 stars for "accuracy of online listing" only because the pictures did not do this place justice. I think they are a bit out date. The house was beautiful! It fit my party of 25 comfortably (we rented both sides of this duplex. We were here for a wedding weekend. Everyone was able to bunk up and have their own or shared bed. Each room had its own bathroom. Everything was clean and maintenance was already in changing out batteries in some of the smoke detectors. We had our own beach access right across the street, which we used as the entrance to our isle for the wedding ceremony. Kitchens were stocked with everything we needed. Property manager was quick to respond to questions we had about the area, they even sent text updates about beach weather and easy directions about check in/out. The only downside was the many flights of stairs, but that's too be expected for a sizable home. Overall we enjoyed staying here and would 100% recommend any family to stay. Any wait to come back!

Really nice place at a great price! We had an awesome time. Thank you!

Our ball team stayed in both sizes of this house. It was great. We loved having plenty of space for everyone to sleep as well as spread out. We also enjoyed the outdoor area under the house where we could all get together and eat. It was also nice to have the pool together with our friends. We liked the outside deck on the upper floor as well as the balconies on several of the rooms. The only issue we ran in to with so many families was parking. The parking is kind of tight. Fortunately since we knew everyone in both sides of the house we were able to make 3 rows of vehicles and work it out. Would definitely stay here again.

My family and I loved this home !!!!! It’s was really nice and clean !!! They made us feel like we were home!!!! We had so much space !!!!! The beach was walking distance!!!! The OWA water park was like 30 min away!!! And there was so much to do……we really wasn’t ready to leave but our vacation came to an end!!!!! We will book again in the future!!!!

We had 17 family members stay for a vacation. The place was spacious and clean. The kitchen was stocked with all the pans, dishes and cutlery that we would need. The pool was clean and private. It was a short walk across the street to get to the beach with no problem crossing.
We had a minor problem with a bathroom drain and they were there to fix it within the hour.
I would highly recommend this place or any house these owners rent. We will definitely book with them when we go back.

We needed a place to stay for a month or so while we opened up a new restaurant. This house met our needs....plenty of bedrooms, baths and space for everyone.
