Description of the Gulf Shores vacation home rental
"My family had one of our best vacations here at the Gulf. The house was a perfect distance from the tourist traps. Speaking of traps, Kiva Dunes was a great golf course and only a mile down the road. We spent most of our time on the beach tanning, swimming, and fishing. I caught several mullet, one catfish, and two blue fish. We will be back!"
The house is located directly on the Gulf of Mexico beach in the small private area of Cabana Beach Estates. Cabana Beach Estates is located off the Fort Morgan Road (Hwy 180) approximately 12 miles west of Gulf Shores, Alabama. During walks on the beach, you will enjoy miles on natural, pristine beach and dunes on each side of the house.
The house has four bedrooms and two baths. It is laid out with two bedrooms and a bath on each side of a great room. Entire front of the great room is glass providing the best possible view of the Gulf and beach. Each of the front bedrooms has sliding glass doors leading onto a 12-foot wide deck which extends across the front of the house. The center portion of the deck is covered, an ideal place to watch the dolphins and the pelicans while you dine. Deck furniture is provided for your dining.
The spacious kitchen overlooking the beach features granite counter tops, glass top range, side-by-side refrigerator, top-of-the-line dishwasher and is fully equipped including large microwave oven, blender, toaster, coffee maker, large electric mixer, garbage disposal, and all the dishes, glasses, and Farberware cooking utensils you should need. The house is equipped with heating and air conditioning, a full size washer and dryer, a satellite color television , a DVD/VCR, Stereo, wireless DSL High Speed Internet, a telephone, five ceiling fans, and a charcoal grill outside.
We make every effort to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. You will find the house ideally suited for a relaxing vacation. A large percentage of the guests return annually.
You need to supply towels and paper products. Linens are available for your use. There is a queen size bed in each of the front bedrooms, two twin beds in each of the other bedrooms, and a queen size hide-a-bed in the great room. Occupancy is strictly limited to a MAXIMUM OF TEN (10) PEOPLE - INCLUDING CHILDREN.
ABSOLUTELY NO PETS ALLOWED.
In addition to swimming in the balmy waters of the Gulf, walking along the sugar white sand beach, sun bathing, shell collecting, building sand castles, chasing after ghost crabs, and surf fishing, the area has many other attractions:
Fort Morgan, an old Spanish fort and museum located 10 miles west of the house, was the scene of the last major naval battle of the Civil War. This is where the Union Admiral, Farragut, gave his famous order, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead," as he ran through the Confederate line.
For golfers there are four new championship-caliber golf courses: Kiva Dunes, Peninsula, The Woodlands, Cotton Creek Club, all within 20 miles - two within 5 miles.
For the kids there is a zoo, a go-cart track, and a water park.
For the fishermen there are deep sea fishing charter boats.
