About this house rental

Sea Urchins, North Unit
1300 West Beach Blvd, Gulf Shores, AL 36542

Everyone loves the new Sea Urchins! :-)

Snowbird/long term rental pricing available.

5BR 5BA. Gulf view. Private pool (per side). Across W Beach from the beach. Nice place...for less! Accommodates 21, 36 with both sides!

This listing is for ONE side of this 2x5 bedroom duplex. Sea Urchins has a sweet private pool for each side, and the gulf is directly across the road. There's nothing standing between you and the water except West Beach Blvd, and then you come back home for your own private dip in the pool! AND, you get to the beach, crossing the road, at a CROSSWALK right at the corner of our property. Easy...

Sea Urchins is across from the 12th street public beach access so there is no home across from our house and no need to wander through private property to reach a beach access point! It's just about perfect for folks who want to save a bit but be just about "right on the beach"!

Each side of the duplex is a 5 bedroom and 5 bath unit.

2nd Floor, BR 1: King + Twin Bunk, en suite bathroom
(note, this bedroom's bath also serves as a common bath for the living room, through a separate entrance)
2nd Floor Living Room QSS
3rd Floor, South BR 2: King, en suite bathroom
3rd Floor, Middle BR 3: Queen + Twin Bunk, bath directly across hall
3rd Floor, Middle BR 4: Bunk Room, sleeping up to 7! Twin over Full Bunk (1+2) + Full over Full Bunk (2+2), second bath directly across hall
3rd Floor, North BR 5: King, en suite bath

Please note that although the 3rd floor middle bedrooms do not have en suite baths, they CAN be completely treated as private to the bedrooms across from them. That is, eac h bedroom can have its own "private" bath since its a one to one, bedroom to bath mix!

3500 square feet of living space, is professionally decorated, makes extensive use of tile and crown molding, and includes granite kitchen countertops and much more. Each unit has a master suite.

For both sides, see our Sea Urchins North & South listing. One side perfect for your group? Check out our Sea Urchins North or Sea Urchins South listings for the individual units.

Electronics abound in these homes: televisions, cable, excellent mesh wifi internet, smart TVs populate these stylish, yet comfortable, units. EACH unit has TWO wet bars and TWO refrigerators. If you haven't stayed in a vacation home with these extras, you'll find out what you've been missing and never want to stay somewhere without them! From kid's drinks to adult beverages to lots of leftover shrimp, having the extra space is a must for the well-seasoned travelers.

Because of high demand during the summer season, the units are available for full week stays only: in the end, though, don't you really deserve a whole week of rest, relaxation, and fun!

POOL? You be! Private PER side
Yes, each side of Sea Urchins has its own pool! 27x12x3-5' Rectangle. Big! In the sun! Lots of room to lounge.

BEACH ACCESS?
Like being beach front, but not paying for beachfront! The public beach is right across the street from Sea Urchins AND there is a pedestrian crosswalk, with signage and light, right off the corner of our place! Easy beach access... without paying beachfront prices!

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 > 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.

No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

We had a FABULOUS vacation! We found the house nice and clean with everything in a very obvious place. We appreciated the 2 fridges with all the time we spend on the beach. There wasn't anything we wanted/needed that we didn't easily find in the home except storage containers. Silly thing to need, I realize, but that was something we would've loved to have. It would NEVER keep us from recommending your house. It is beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing your place with us.[๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ Thank you so much Ann! Brought a smile to my face, and I shared with my gang on the ground and the Bama Beach Houses folks too! I really appreciate it. Would be happy to have your gang back anytime! Thanks again! ๐Ÿ™]

We've been here twice. It's a great place to stay. Plenty of room for a big fam and close to the beach. The pool is an extra wow factor. We loved our stay and will return.[Wonderful! Thank YOU so much for staying in our Sea Urchins, twice now! And thank you for taking a moment to share your โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ experience with our place, service and support! We'd be happy to have you and your family back anytime! DM us when ready to rock the return, and shoot us any suggestions too. Thanks again! ๐Ÿ™]

Loved our stay and had a great time! Only one item that I think you could address is that the light in the pool that was not working in 2020 is still out. It would add so much to an evening spent by the pool. We will return to Gulf Shores in the next year or two and be in touch.[Thanks Phil! Glad you all had a fantastic time again. So, about that pool light... it is actually not "still" out. :-) I confirmed with the pool guys it was repaired and has been working, so I think it was one of those coincidences when it happened to be out again... They are going to check it. FWIW, if its not working for you when you come back, or if _anything_ is amiss, ever, just shoot me or Bama Beach Houses a note during the stay and we can have it checked asap. If I remember correctly, it also involves two switches, an annoying design that is present in a couple of my places that was supposed to make it 'convenient' but confuses people two. In any event, we can help with it next time! They are pretty good about same day/next day service as long as whatever is needed is available, and happy to come out so the kiddos (and adults) can have a lit pool!Thanks again for returning to our place, and for taking the time to share your experience with my home. I really appreciate it. Reach out when ready to lock in the next trip!]

The house was clean and in a great location. Directly across the street from beach access. The pool was clean and had a nice shaded area. Everything we needed was available. There was even a charcoal grill that was not expected. The only downfall we had was the main floors A/C could not keep up. It stayed above 75 the entire time. We even kept all the shades closed to not let sun in. But, we were on the go and in and out of the pool so it wasn't too bad. Overall, great vacation and I would stay here again. [Hi Malinda. Thanks! Glad you had a great time. I sent HVAC guys over once I saw this. They indicated the unit was frozen up and had it cooling 100% in a few minutes. Next time you come, please just shoot us a note so we can get someone right over to help with anything you may need--that is what we are here for! --BBH]
