TWO REFRIGERATORS
Two? Per side? Yes two. Because you won't want to stay somewhere without an extra fridge once you have had them.

HEATABLE POOL
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, 22x16x3-5' Rectangle. Lounge chairs are provided around the pool. Added a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps, and the same temp Disney uses for its pools!) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a nightly surcharge (varies by season and with gas market price, has been $60-85 per night, just inquire, and must be for length of stay (this is based on market pricing for propane gas, and can change at any time, both up and down, until added to a reservation). Fee subject to change due to incredibly high gas rates right now. Simply request the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and at least a week before check in so we can get it on before you arrive.

​​​​​​​Heatable pools in beach homes and duplexes are VERY RARE along the gulf. If a place doesn't mention it, it does NOT have one! Grab one with one while they last!

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!

PARKING
There is available onsite, offstreet, parking for at least 6 midsize vehicles (per side), more if you 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!

The house was just great for us. Top assets were: Shaded pool in August and it worked all week, Very comfortable mattresses, Six bathrooms!, SHORT walk to the surf with half of it on that great boardwalk that made wagon runs so much easier, Two refrigerators, And finally, you actually had enough silverware, dishes, cookware and appliances for the large capacity of the house (that’s the first time that happened for us in years of vacation rentals). Re the management company, the contact I had with them was to compliment them on how clean the house was and how smooth check-in went, meaning the door code arrived in time, it worked, and the house was indeed ready. I called them to report a broken shelf rail in the refrigerator. They quickly offered to send someone to fix it but I carry duct tape and that held it for the week. They dropped off some tasty chocolates for the inconvenience, nice touch. So that's it. All good.

The house was as shown on the listing. The boardwalk to the beach was great. We had someone check to see if we needed anything and told them a broom and had one within the hour. I would highly recommend this house property .

I just can’t say enough about this amazing beach house. We have stayed in Beach Houses for years and this is by far, the best one we’ve ever stayed in. We had a big family vacation that included ages 22 through 81. The house is set up perfectly with clean and comfortable rooms on every floor. The mattresses were soft and comfortable. There was a thermostat on each floor. The convenience of two refrigerators and a washer and dryer was Great. The accessibility of the beach was so amazing due to the wooden walkway and short distance to the ocean. It was never crowded in front of the beach house even in July. It was nice to have a pool on the ground floor near the parking area. The 6 bathrooms were convenient and clean and large enough for our big group. We had a great time relaxing by the ocean, cooking, playing games and watching movies. Our pups loved it too! The owners were easy to communicate with and extremely helpful. This was definitely a 10 out of a 10 experience!

The property was perfect for our annual trip- 3 families with friends (15 total). The house was a cute classic beach vibe, clean, and we had enough room to park 5 cars and our boat on our side of the duplex. The boardwalk to the beach was AMAZING 👏👏👏 after many summers of having to drive/walk over the hot asphalt to get to beach access this was so convenient!! The hosts were very responsive and even proactive in checking in with us and making sure we had all of the info we needed regarding the city rules, renting chairs, etc. we had a blast and would 10/10 recommend this house ❤️

The trip was amazing we always enjoy brining the kids to gulf shores. The house was amazing the kids loved the board walk to the beach and the access. We couldn't have asked for a better week. The house was so nice, it accommodated all of our needs. Experience and house was amazing. Hopefully we can book again next year when we bring kids back for their trip.

The house was nice, the boardwalk to the beach was our favorite part. With 2 toddlers it made it super easy to access the beach. Any issues we had were promptly taken care of by property manager (Haleigh), she was sweet and helpful with everything! I will say the photos on VRBO are a bit outdated, and beware there are A LOT of stairs, but other than that no complaints! We plan to book again with Bama Beach Houses for our next trip!
