Beachfront vacation rentals in Gulf Highlands

We had a wonderful stay! The home was very clean, spacious, and even better than the pictures. The front porch quickly became our favorite spot! This was the perfect place to enjoy the peaceful beach atmosphere. The location is very ideal for us, offering a private beach experience that made our stay feel truly special. Ashleigh was a fantastic host—very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout our trip. We would absolutely love to book again in the future. Highly recommended!

Loved this place! Each of the 3 bedrooms had their own full bathroom which was wonderful! Plenty of bath towels. Kitchen was the best-stocked kitchen of any AirBNB we’ve ever rented: tons of pots and pans, plates, silverware and anything else we needed was right there in the kitchen. Our favorite part of our stay was the condos being right on the beach. I don’t believe there is a public access to this huge section of beach and it showed… we walked miles up and down the coast and maybe went past a dozen couples/families. We drove down to a public beach to see it and what a difference—packed down there! We toured Fort Gaines (highly recommended) and went to the cute little aquarium on the island. We were lucky to see a dolphin swimming in the gulf off the boardwalks behind the aquarium. Loved our stay and hope to come back someday. It was the perfect quiet retreat! Anna was very responsive when we had a couple of questions during our stay. Definitely recommend her as a host.

Enjoy our visit, the house was comfortable, clean and felt like home.

This home was absolutely beautiful! The pool was perfect for the kids, tons of room for the 3 families to spread out and not feel crowded. There were tons of extras in the home and I’ve never stayed in a place where the kitchen had everything needed down to spices and Tupperware!! We truly enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful place to stay right on the beach! The beach wasn’t crowded at all. The house was very clean! The pool was great and Johnny was super nice and very helpful! We forgot an item and they are shipping it to us! We will definitely come back!

The property is absolutely amazing. This is our third year staying there. Right in the heart of things very walkable to many different places and a beautiful beach. Michael is very responsive and everything is well organized. Highly recommend this property.

This place was spotless and had everything you could think of! Just when I thought we were running low on towels I would open a cabinet and find more! The kitchen has all you need to cook your own meals. The complimentary k-cups and tea were a nice touch for my caffeine-addicted husband, my children really enjoyed the pool right out the front door, and my favorite part was the front porch swing with a little view of the ocean. There was so much to do within a short drive. We enjoyed a dolphin cruise, putt-putt, go-carts, Fort Morgan, early morning beach walks and a few restaurants. I highly recommend this rental property, great location and great hosts!

Nicholas was such a great host! Everything was as described. The beach house is easy to get to and we had no problem walking across the street for time at the beach. We enjoyed the pool and just relaxing in the front porch swings. I love that we were able to control the ac and that it did not have a preset temp. The bathrooms were nice and clean and the kitchen is well stocked. Nicholas communicated throughout our stay and is very friendly. We will definitely stay here again.

Our family had the most amazing time at the Beach Shack! Beautiful beachfront views! We sat on the porch every evening watching the sunset and waves. Many memories made playing in the water all day. The house was clean and had absolutely everything you could need! So happy they shared their home with us for the week! We will be back! Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved staying here. Host was extremely responsive. We had a tiny little hiccup with a small cleaning issue but was quickly resolved.

We had a fantastic stay at this property during our Spring Break trip! The home was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with all the amenities we needed. The host was responsive and provided clear instructions, making check-in and check-out a breeze. The location was convenient, close to local attractions and dining options. We especially appreciated the cozy living area where our family could relax after a day of exploring. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

The perfect getaway vacation place for you and your fur babies. The house was perfect for our needs. The only thing that was lacking was kitchen amenities. Then again, she didn’t list that it was a fully stocked kitchen either. You will have the dishes and cookware but amenities such as cooking oil and spices aren’t available. Looks like what other guests had purchased and left. Not a deal breaker for me because she had coffee filters!!! There’s also a Keurig there that isn’t listed in the post so if you like to use pods you’re in luck. All in all a great place in an ideal location!! We would definitely stay there again!!!! Thanks Ashley!!

Phil’s place was great and as described! He even made a Sunday afternoon trip to drop off a new Keurig coffee maker when the original broke earlier that morning. We’re already planning to stay here again for the next family trip to Dauphin Island.

My family enjoyed our stay. The location is literally steps from the beach. EXTREMELY clean. Normally we find random pet fur, hair from previous guests, or smells from pets, but this location didn’t have any of that. Everything was super clean upon arrival. As a family with littles, I appreciated the baby gates and connecting rooms on the main level. Plenty of space for our family of 5. Hosts were responsive and provided great insight prior to our visit. I would definitely recommend this listing for your next beach adventure. I’m sure we’ll be back!

The house is so cozy and only steps away from the beach! It’s had two great porches with views of the ocean. There are all the amenities of home. I forgot to bring my fan (I travel with it because I like the noise) and they had several available for use. There are two great swings under the house along with an outdoor shower. Paul was very quick to communicate and a very helpful host. I will definitely be back!

The home was comfortable and had everything we needed. It was so peaceful on the back deck with the pelicans, seagulls, squirrels and big beautiful blue heron visiting everyday. Loved watching the boats pass. It was close to the main strip, but far enough away that our stay was quiet and relaxing. Would stay here again

The place is beautiful and spacious! Loved the tall ceilings! 4 full baths and bedrooms accommodated our group of 6 extremely well. My only complaint is that the construction next door was disruptive in the morning. They started around 7am. This is only temporary of course and will be a beautiful addition to the massive Phoenix conglomeration in the area. The beaches right in front of the condos were raked immediately after the storms so we didn’t have to deal with the washed up seaweed. That was a huge plus! Overall this place is a win and I would gladly visit again. Thank you for providing beautiful accommodations and for being so quickly responsive to messages.

It's easy to feel right at home here! We were a group of 6 and the house was perfect for all of us to sleep comfortably but still have our space. We were staying in Pensacola to visit my niece and this location was perfect so she can come back and forth from base to spend time with us. We loved how relaxing the space was, we really didn't have to leave. We mostly stayed in and enjoyed the MANY! amenities provided. The kitchen was well stocked too so cooking was easy. And nearby is a great Thai food restaurant (Thai Curry House) if you don't feel like cooking. We spent a lot of time out on the water in the kayaks, enjoyed the amazing massage chairs, and spent the evenings watching the gorgeous sunsets in the hot tub or on the pier. Being here makes you truly appreciate nature. The neighborhood is so quiet and safe. Dennis was such a gracious host and even let us extend our stay. He was also an excellent communicator, we felt very taken care of.

AJ and Jenise were wonderful to work with ... super responsive and helpful! The townhome was lovely and spacious with lots of conveniences. Great idea to label the light switches and the cabinets in the kitchen! We loved sitting on the screened in porch each morning enjoying a leisurely cup of coffee from the fully stocked coffee bar (also a nice touch!) We also were able to take advantage of the BEAUTIFUL private beach (with sugar white sand!) at Lost Key ... a super nice option! We loaded up the wagon (also provided by AJ & Jenise) and just walked on over. We had a wonderful time visiting our son, and this spot was a perfect place to gather. Thank you for being such fantastic hosts!

We spent 1-2hrs on the beach before we even entered the house! This location was perfect!! Close to NAS, 35 min from gulf shores beach for more great food options. The kids couldn’t wait to get in the water (and sand) everyday!

What an amazing place! Clean and well-stocked with all those basics you leave "till you get to the beach"--coffee, creamer, extra toilet paper and paper towels, detergent. Beds and linens were like a five star hotel--great welcome packages with basic grooming essentials. Stocked full of games, cards, flashlights for night sightings, tvs in every room, wii console with games. Simply an amazing home for my mixed age family! Located in such a convenient location and super quiet all around. Beach chairs and extra beach towels made our daily plans for the beach so simple. We'll try to rent this again and again. Thanks especially for the open communication and encouragement to reach out with any issues. Absolutely PERFECT!

Everything was great, matched the listing completely. The private beach was amazing and the beach chairs/toys were perfect for our family. Great location away from the busier tourist area but close enough to get to quickly. Great hosts with clear information and quick responses. Would definitely book again!

We all enjoyed our time at their beautiful home. The home is located in a peaceful neighborhood on a quiet shore, a short drive to many attractions. The house is in great condition and had everything we needed. The morning sunrises were spectacular! If we make our way down to the gulf coast again Daniel and Christy's home will be our first choice.

Absolutely beautiful home! Comfort and charm combine to create an atmosphere that is both relaxing and pleasant. We felt right at home in every room. There was nothing we needed that was not there. Our host checked in on us several times just to make sure all was well. We would not hesitate to stay again.
