GULF TOWER 2A is a 2BR/2BA condo just steps from the beach! Owner managed!

Welcome to the Heard's! Our condo is located at Gulf Tower, Unit 2A, 1051 W. Beach Blvd., Gulf Shores, AL. Owner managed for a personal experience! We want you to enjoy our wonderful home away from home!

This unit is literally steps from the beach! (see first picture) It's like sitting on the beach but no sand! Imagine sitting on the balcony, in the living room/dining area or the kitchen and you have such a GREAT view of the Gulf of Mexico with delightful dolphins to view on an almost a daily basis. And when you want to go to the beach it's steps away from the pool area!

Spacious Gulf Front condo, east corner, fully furnished, 3rd floor unit (1st Floor is a parking garage) with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. King sized bed in each bedroom, pull out sofa bed in good sized living room and day bed on the balcony comfortably sleeps 6. Freshly painted, nicely decorated and inviting with tile and laminate flooring, full kitchen and laundry room. The view is BEAUTIFUL!!

There are 3 SMART tv's , 3 DVD players with games, puzzles and books to enjoy! Free WIFI available!

Enjoy the Recreation room on the first floor with some older exercise equipment, games, puzzles, and books also with a beach front view. Oceanfront outdoor pool with entrance to the beautiful white sand beach. Convenience stores and restaurants nearby! Also Shopping!

The unique balcony includes choice to open doors to a beautiful unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico or if it's a bit too hot (or a bit too cold) you can close them and still enjoy a magnificent on the beach experience!

You are quoted a price including one parking pass at the rate of $40.00. During high rental season only one vehicle is allowed to park in the GT parking lot due to limited parking spaces available. The high rental season is determined as, March 1st through August 15th, Labor Day Weekend Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Shrimp Festival in October. I send you all the condo information approximately 30 days prior to your arrival. Any dates other than those listed above you can purchase additional passes directly from Owner.

Two new elevators and a new Range in 2024!

The unit isn't completely updated, but it is clean and affordable! AND did I mention the view??

We would LOVE to be your Hosts!

Kathi and Jim Heard

Our stay could not have been any better!! smooth and seamless check-in and check out making it very easy for a family with very young kids. Kathi made everything so accessible and convenient for us. A very clean condo where we didn’t need much at all. I would absolutely stay there again and would recommend others staying in the Gulf Shores area to stay there!

Enjoyed our stay, but...

The condo was perfect for our family of 4. Proximity to the beach was awesome and we were close enough to walk to some activities, but for those far enough away to drive to, parking was never an issue.Kathy was very responsive, and we were easily able to extend our stay by an extra day. She sent a thorough email to include instructions, including reminders about some of the things you might need to bring. However, I've never stayed at a property where we had a single roll of paper towels, a single roll of toilet paper per bathroom, and a single trash bag. For a family of 4 over a 5 day stay. I contacted the cleaner, thinking i was overlooking trash bags. Nope, one is all you get. All in all, we had a great week, but plan accordingly.

Perfect

When we walked into this condo and opened the sliding glass doors overlooking the Gulf all I could say was WOW!!! Seeing the sugar white sand, the beautiful blue of the water, the clear blue sky and warm sunshine……well, it took my breath away!!! It was exactly what I was hoping for when we began to plan for a Gulf Shores trip. While the condo is dated it didn’t matter…we were too busy checking out the area. We had a small issue with the tub drain but Kathi very quickly contacted a professional and it was fixed within 24 hours.The location was close to shopping and restaurants. We discovered Gulf State Park where we hiked the trails. We also rented bikes there and explored the 28 miles of trails in the park.We would most definitely come back to this area and specifically this condo!!!

Nice condo on beach

Communication between owner and myself was very good from the moment I booked the condo. The condo is in a convenient location right on the beach. I liked that the condo is on the end so there was not a lot of noise. I also enjoyed the patio doors that you could have open or closed.
