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!!!

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!]
