Sea Urchins, Unit 1 5 BR. Beachview. The Beach, so close, for less! Pool.
About this house rental
Located in West Beach, this attractive house for $558 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Sea Urchins, South Unit 1300 West Beach Blvd, Gulf Shores, AL 36542 2023-06. New virtual tour! You'll love Sea Urchin! 2022-10. Major updates. Crowd pleasers. Everyone loves the new Sea Urchins! :-) Snowbird/long term rental pricing available. 5BR 5BA. Gulf view. Private pool (per side). Across W Beach from the beach. Nice place...for less! Accommodates 21, or 42 with both sides! This listing is for ONE side of this 2x5 bedroom duplex. Sea Urchins has a sweet private pool for each side, and the gulf is directly across the road. There s nothing standing between you and the water except West Beach Blvd, and then you come back home for your own private dip in the pool! AND, you get to the beach, crossing the road, at a CROSSWALK right at the corner of our property. Easy... Sea Urchins is across from the 12th street public beach access so there is no home across from our house and no need to wander through private property to reach a beach access point! It's just about perfect for folks who want to save a bit but be just about "right on the beach"! Each side of the duplex is a 5 bedroom and 5 bath unit. 2nd Floor, BR 1: King + Twin Bunk, en suite bathroom (note, this bedroom's bath also serves as a common bath for the living room, through a separate entrance) 2nd Floor Living Room QSS 3rd Floor, South BR 2: King, en suite bathroom 3rd Floor, Middle BR 3: Queen + Twin Bunk, bath directly across hall 3rd Floor, Middle BR 4: Bunk Room, sleeping up to 7! Twin over Full Bunk (1+2) + Full over Full Bunk (2+2), second bath directly across hall 3rd Floor, North BR 5: King, en suite bath Please note that although the 3rd floor middle bedrooms do not have en suite baths, they CAN be completely treated as private to the bedrooms across from them. That is, eac h bedroom can have its own "private" bath since its a one to one, bedroom to bath mix! 3500 square feet of living space, is professionally decorated, makes extensive use of tile and crown molding, and includes granite kitchen countertops and much more. Each unit has a master suite. For both sides, see our Sea Urchins North & South listing. One side perfect for your group? Check out our Sea Urchins North or Sea Urchins South listings for the individual units. Electronics abound in these homes: televisions, cable, excellent mesh wifi internet, smart TVs populate these stylish, yet comfortable, units. EACH unit has TWO wet bars and TWO refrigerators. If you haven't stayed in a vacation home with these extras, you'll find out what you've been missing and never want to stay somewhere without them! From kid's drinks to adult beverages to lots of leftover shrimp, having the extra space is a must for the well-seasoned travelers. Because of high demand during the summer season, the units are available for full week stays only: in the end, though, don't you really deserve a whole week of rest, relaxation, and fun! 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 solid and ran > 100Mb 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. No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

It is awesome! We rented Sea Urchin North 5yrs ago & when we decided on Gulf Shires we knew either of the Sea Urchins would be a great fit for our family & it didn't disappoint!

We had such a very nice time at Sea Urchin. Everything was clean. We had lots of space to spread out. Being able to see the Gulf from the living room and decks was a nice bonus! Having a private pool just to us on our side was also a nice difference and was great with the pandemic going on.

Would love to stay in Sea Urchin again. It was wonderful.

We had the best time on our family vacation. This house was the perfect fit for the 20 of us. It was the perfect location from the beach and even from other activities in Gulf Shores.
The only downside of this house was it had lots of ants. I don't know if this is a normal thing for the specific area or if the property isn't like deep cleaned regularly. They mostly lived around the rugs and on the first level. We made sure to have all the food cleaned up to limit the number of ants coming out.

We had an amazing time at Rick's home. The house was perfecr foe our family and lots of extra beds. The pool was amazing and we spent everyday there after the beach. Access to the beach was right across the street and took only a minute to get to the white sands. My only feedback was having more towels a available. But we had a great time at the house and made lots of memories. We would definitely return!

This house was fantastic! We had 17 people staying ranging from 5 years old to 68. We all had plenty of space and the house was very clean. We didn't cook much but from what I could tell there were plenty of utensils, pots and pans, plates, cups, etc. The distance to the ocean is very doable and the pool area is wonderful! We would love to stay in this house again in the future.

5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a giant living/gathering area (both inside and out), a short crosswalk to the beach and a private full-sized pool = a week full of giggles, laughter and family fun!

All the family enjoyed it from 2 year old to 58 year old.. we had full house. Plenty of room, well kept, great access to beach. Pool was great, two fridges was great. Plenty of parking space. Over all a 10.... We plan to go again...
Could use a safety gate for stairs leading to pool. One gate on side balcony to divide the two houses...

Wonderful week on the beach with family. We had 15 in our group & never felt cramped. The decks & pool were great. Our grandkids loved plating in the pool & access to the beach is excellent

Amazing stay! House was super clean and more than accommodating for our group of 6 adults and 10 kids. We had an issue with one of the bathroom drains which was addressed right away. Awesome having beach access right across the street. Private pool was such a great amenity. Company had someone clean the pool and take care of the trash. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommended!!

Appreciated the cleanliness of the property and proximity to the beach. Photos do not do the home justice. Hope to stay here again in the near future. 10/10!

This rental has a great location right across from the walkway to the beach! Rooms were large and fit ten with room to spare. Refrigerators were dirty on the outside and tiles were cracked, and one couch really needed to be replaced, but overall it is a great place for the cost! Locals did tell us that it is known in the neighborhood as the party house (probably due to the cost) but as a family we enjoyed it a ton and will be back for sure!!! Thank you!

Great house! Lots of space to spread out. Loved the downstairs area for hanging out at night. Kids loved the pool. Perfect distance to the beach without paying on the beach price-the boardwalk was right across the street. Plenty of parking, as we had four families, so four vehicles.

This property is perfect for several families wanting to vacation together. Property is directly across the street from the beach. Has amazing beach views. Everything you need was in the kitchen. Enough room in the den for all to sit around and hang out. Pool was very nice as well.

We’ve never had a stay with more helpful management and owners. We went down while the owners were moving heaven and earth to make their units available after the hurricane. Everyone communicated with us throughout and even provided additional nights when we were under mandatory evacuation for the second hurricane. Owners are genuinely good people who are gracious to open up their properties and provide families the opportunities to make memories. The properties are phenomenal for beach access and amenities. Pools are great. Really cannot say enough good things or recommend more strongly.
