This low density community has a sparkling pool shared by only nine homes! With the pool directly outside the door and newly constructed fishing pier, guests can experience what Gulf Shores has to offer without leaving the home!

About Always Summer

Always Summer is the perfect beach home for your large family or even multiple families, with ample space for 12 guests and parking for up to 4 cars. On the main level, gleaming hardwood floors, a wide open floor plan, and wall-to-wall windows are the cornerstone of coastal elegance. Tasteful decor, plenty of seating, and a 60 inch TV provide an excellent space for entertaining and relaxing to the sound of the waves outside. The fully stocked kitchen has counter space for preparing meals for a crowd and the window overlooking the pool brings the outside in. On the huge covered deck, relax in the captains chairs and enjoy the breeze! The main floor also features one bedroom with a king sized bed and TV as well as one full bathroom. 

Moving upstairs, the huge master suite has its own private balcony with plenty of seating and a great view of the Gulf of Mexico. Sit outside and relax before bed to the sounds of the beach. Guests will also find a TV and expansive master bathroom with dual sinks. Across the hall is another king bedroom with TV and private bathroom. Finally, down the hall is the kids retreat, a bunk room equipped with a TV, DVD player, private full bathroom and two sets of bunk beds, one full and one twin to sleep 6.  

Outside Always Summer, guests are just steps to a local favorite beach, Little Lagoon Pass. The Pass is the perfect swimming spot for families with children, featuring beautiful white sand, sparkling shallow water, and the perfect location to launch a kayak for a day of fishing. Speaking of fishing, follow the paved walking path to the brand new fishing pier, stretching 100 feet out over little lagoon and enjoy a day of reeling them in! Bring a propane tank and grill up your catch on the large gas grill provided for guest use. 

Guests can even access the beautiful Gulf WITHOUT CROSSING A STREET! A few steps beyond the Lagoon Pass beach leads to the sandy shores of the Gulf! Simply follow the walking path below the bridge and find yourself directly on the beach! 
The prime location of this gorgeous new home along with its expansive interior, sparkling pool, and easy access to TWO beaches and a fishing pier make Always Summer the perfect location for your family vacation.

For larger parties, guests can also rent Slackwater, and Pass Time Cottage, identical homes just steps away!

House was nice and as presented online. Kitchen could use a few items updated/replaced (knives, utensils etc), the grill outside is quite old, too. Walk to the beach was not bad at all. And, we all enjoyed the pool as well. Would stay again.😊

Overall, we had an amazing time. The house was clean, and well stocked. It had everything we needed. We had adults, kids, teens and there was plenty of space for everyone. We had a few minor maintenance issues, but the they were very quick to respond and got everything taken care of. My only con would be that the lagoon is not quite as described. There is not near as much sand as shown in the picture. I have littles and was hoping it would be a good spot for them to play, but there was one little sand spot that was surrounded by water. Not sure if you had to get there super early, to beat the tide or that was just how it was. Overall, we would come back. Not a terrible walk to the beach, the house was great, and we enjoyed the pool!

This was our backup plan after the first house we booked was sold just before our writing retreat. It worked out for the best! The house was clean and comfortable. It was nice that each person/ couple had a private room and bath. There was plenty of space, and though we didn't venture far, proximity to nature and amenities make this a great location for those who do.

We enjoyed this house! Enough room for all 11 of us, plenty of bathrooms too. Beds were comfy and linen’s were nice. A bit of a walk to the beach but easy to get there. Kitchen could use a few more cooking items but all in all we would recommend staying. Pool was warm so kids enjoyed that too! We had a great time!

The house was great! It was the perfect size and everyone had plenty of room. The pool was convenient and we enjoyed it. The pool was warm and cloudy so we had hoped it to be cleaner and cooler. The walk to the beach was kind of long.. and the area on the bay side was not as we expected. Overall, we enjoyed and would consider staying there again for the right price.

We enjoyed our week in Gulf Shores. The location of this house is great for getting to the beach and it has a pool directly behind it. The house was the perfect set up for our group as we were chaperoning 9 high school seniors for their spring break. The boys were able to be upstairs and we had our room and own bathroom on the main floor. I did wish the laundry was on the main floor (please clean the dryer vents - it is a fire hazard). I also wished spices, tupperware or Glad ware, foil, baggies, etc. were able to be left behind for the next guest. It is nice to use what is left there and be able to leave there what you don't use. When you fly in you can't pack up the leftovers and take them all with you and it can be such a waste. Please also get a new vacuum for this house. The carpeting definitely was not vacuumed before we arrived. I took the awful vacuum in the closet and did it myself. Also, our bed on the mainfloor had what turned out to be stained sheets - please get rid of these - and I ended up striping the bed and washing them myself to be sure they were clean.
