BEDDING:
Main Floor Bedroom: King + QSS
3rd Floor NE Master Bedroom: King
3rd Floor NW Bedroom: 2 Fulls
3rd Floor SE Bedroom: 1 Twin over Full Bunk
3rd Floor SW Bedroom: 2 Twin over Full Bunks
Main Floor Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa
In addition to the awesome lagoon front features, like the dock and small beach, access to the Gulf is via the 12th street public access which is a short direct walk up 12th (right next to our Seafoam home!).
LOCATION!
Lagoon front. This home has fabulous views over the lagoon. So nice. So tranquil. And those sunsets! Wow! Situated in a small neighborhood of mostly owner occupied homes, this great home shares a very cool lagoon front pool with the neighborhood and shares a lagoon fishing dock too!
POOL?
You bet. Guests of OGP5 have access to the community pool, right on the lagoon! Bonus, there is a small lagoon side beach right by the pool, along with a fishing dock! The pool is 24x14' big, and 3-5' deep!
BEACH ACCESS
OGP 5 has access to the small lagoon side beach by the community pool, and it is only a short walk of less than 1/4 mile to the beach the 13th street public beach (next to my Seafoam home!). These is a pedestrian cross walk to help you get across West Beach to that public beach too! PLUS there is a back trail from near our home to access all the fun and fishing at Calloway Bridge too!
PARKING
There is available onsite parking for 4-5 vehicles.
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!
Need something a little smaller (or to add another place nearby?). We also have On Golden Pond 3, a 2x3BR duplex one home over. A great value too!

House was big and comfortable views were exceptional. Very clean. Everything as described. Rick was awesome to work with. Only negative was the furniture was dated that being said I can tell they are slowly updating. Thank you Rick you made my stay so easy!
[Thanks Karen! 😎 So happy you all had a wonderful time, and I am glad I could help with the stay dates too! I am all for 'easy' 😉 And yep we are constantly trying to change some furniture too, glad you noticed. Too costly to do all at once (and would make it a LOT harder for us to keep this really nice value oriented price point too... something else I am all for since I hate that a lot of things have priced folks out!). Happy to assist with a return, and if you have any suggestions, DM me anytime! Thanks again! 🙏]

We had a great time at On Golden Pond ! Beautiful property, with great views of the Sunset from multiple decks . Our group loved being on the Bay because several of our crew like to fish . There is a walkway just steps from the house where you can fish all you want . The walk to the beach was not an issue, my wife and I are 65 and it was not a big deal for us to walk. The house itself is absolutely gorgeous and had more than enough room for our group. Plenty of supplies in the kitchen for cooking and our grandkids absolutely loved the Bunkbed room. I would definitely book this house again !!! The owner was a pleasure to work with !!

We traveled to Gulf Shores for a softball tournament/vacation. We had multiple families and the max guests and this house was perfect! The location is amazing! The lagoon is beautiful and peaceful and very refreshing to for the soul! Our guys fished and fished and fished some more! The beach is a very short walk and you are there in minutes! This place is away from all of the hustle and bustle so it’s nice and quiet but a very close drive to all the stuff! The kids loved the pool! The kitchen is stocked with all the dishes you need. The owners even came by with a bag of amazing chocolates! The management company was super easy to deal with! A few things could be fixed/adjusted in the house but it is a home that is lived in by so many families so that doesn’t take away from me giving this 5 stars!! If I ever go back to Gulf Shores with a large group again, I would definitely stay in this home!!!
5.0 / 5.0
We had a really nice time. Water was closed most of the stay but beach was nice. Seemed to be fewer people and reminded me when it was less commercial. Our family have visited gulf shores/orange beach for the past decade or so and we have stayed at OGP5 twice now, and OGP3 once, we love the location and have already booked for Father's Day next year. It's hard to find a place big enough for the family , economically and safe so we thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great place to stay, close the beach and an added plus is having the lagoon in your backyard. Rick was as response as one can ask for ( not that there was many issues). Thank you Rick![You are quite welcome. So happy to hear you had a fantastic time at OGP5! DM me anytime if you need anything at all, or when ready to return. I, and also the BamaBeachHouses gang, are always here for you! Thanks again David!]

Great family home & location. Felt right at home.
5.0 / 5.0
We had 5 kids and 5 adults staying. Plenty of room for all of us with the ability to spread out. We were able to walk to the beach and only few minutes drive to restaurants when we weren't cooking at home. It was really quiet and the balconies looking over the lagoon was amazing!! We also noticed a water leak but I called and they had someone out there within a couple of hours.

I booked this house specifically for the fishing dock. My 74 year old mother loves to fish and she was able to fish all day and night if she wanted to! Easy walk to the community dock from the house! I enjoyed the easy walk to the beach as well. My party of 14 had plenty of space and had a wonderful time! Thanks for allowing me to rent your beautiful home!

Beautifully decorated with a fully stocked kitchen. Fully furnished kitchen with everything we needed. Location is perfect for a short walk to the beach and a private pier on the lagoon. Would definitely recommend!!
5.0 / 5.0
Perfect location. Service was wonderful. We enjoyed our stay. Loved the sunrises and sunset out on the balcony and at the dock. The house is beautiful. I had family visit from Missouri (who have never been to the beach) and the beach was just a few footsteps away!
5.0 / 5.0
Beautiful home in a wonderful location. We spent a week here with friends. The kids loved the private sandbox area:). The views were gorgeous. Easy access to the beach. The house was clean and furnished beautifully. You do need to pack bath towels and washcloths unless you want to wash the few provided every day. The combination of bunk beds, regular beds and pull-out couch worked well for our families.
5.0 / 5.0
Wonderful house and location! Plenty of space for a large group coming down to the beach. Scenic location by the water - quiet and peaceful, but a quick walk across the street gets you straight to the beach. Close to plenty of restaurants and activities. All the basic supplies are provided at the house - kitchen wares, including a coffee pot and keurig, plenty of towels, washer and dryer, dishwasher, etc. Loved all the communication from Bama Beach Houses. We felt fully prepared with all the information we needed for a wonderful stay. Would definitely book with them again.

Another great vacation with our family. It's a five minute walk to the beach or only a few steps to the Lagoon. Neighborhood pool was clean and well-maintained.

My family & I enjoyed our stay May 2023. The first day we had a couple of minor repairs that we requested. The maintenance folks were awesome! They were quick to respond and took care of everything. They were professional and friendly. We really enjoyed fishing and the house over looking the lagoon provided amazing sunsets and wild life to watch. There was lot's of space for our group of 9. Having all the separate balconies came in handy when we needed a little separation. ( lol) We cooked several meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. Some of the furnishings could stand to be updated as they are showing their age and some of the doors don't operate properly. The first floor bedroom neither door latches properly and the middle of that bed has a hump. I think possibly a bed frame issue? Other than that we all slept comfortably and thoroughly enjoyed your home! I highly recommend it!!

Everything was great! The guys had a great time and the kids as well. I really appreciate all you did to help us be able to stay, and stay as long as we did.
We are coming back next year. I have 5 grandsons ages 1 to 5 and we are bringing them as well. I will definately contact you as soon as we know the dates! Thanks again!

I'm sad to say that today is check out day. We so enjoyed our stay at On Golden Pond 5. I'd love to stay longer, but my work and family responsibilities take me away. Thank you again... I plan to be back!

Perfect home for large family. We very much enjoyed our stay. Everyone had their own space and the open floor plan was perfect to host our family of 6 for Christmas dinner. The kitchen has all the basic necessities (equipment and dish-wise) for meal preparation. Also a beautiful view.

Great house, kitchen has all the appliances you will need, and the location is great! We enjoyed the short walk to the beach and fishing off the shared pier.

The home was perfect for us for our winter stay in Gulf Shores. The location is perfect, and very peaceful, with great views overlooking the lagoon. We could not ask for a better place to spend a few quality months on the gulf. Booked for next year already!

5.0 / 5.0
We loved our stay in your home. The guy who came to look at things was very friendly. I told him the new bed could wait (as the memory foam would take time to fully open). He fixed the cabinets quickly (I was concerned one of our little ones would have the door fall on their feet). Your home had everything we needed (even had a few extra beds which never seems to happen for us). The dock is a place we loved as it was the only place with a little breeze during the terrible heat. The kids loved the pool and the ocean of course. I did forget to mention that we think the dishwasher may have an issue. It never seemed to go off (would run for a few hours) so we would cancel it after an hour as dishes were clean. But thanks again and will consider you all on our next trip to gulf shores!!!!

Both my wife and I said, this trip to Gulf Shores was the best yet! We couldn't picked a better beach house! The entire family enjoyed their time and we had plenty of room.
