A wonderful house is located directly on the waterfront of Little Lagoon with easy access to the community dock, beach, and pool. Carefree days for up to 21, and a great deal too! Your family or friends will love it here.... BEDDING: Main Floor Bedroom: King + QSS 3rd Floor NE Master Bedroom: King 3rd Floor NW Bedroom: 2 Fulls 3rd Floor SE Bedroom: 1 Twin over Full Bunk 3rd Floor SW Bedroom: 2 Twin over Full Bunks Main Floor Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa 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! OGP3 https://www.vrbo.com/2614353 6BR (2x3BR) OGP3A https://vrbo.com/1608269 3BR OGP3B https://vrbo.com/2650573 3BR

Beautiful home in a wonderful location. We spent a week here with friends. The kids loved the private sandbox area:). The views were gorgeous. Easy access to the beach. The house was clean and furnished beautifully. You do need to pack bath towels and washcloths unless you want to wash the few provided every day. The combination of bunk beds, regular beds and pull-out couch worked well for our families.

Beautifully decorated with a fully stocked kitchen. Fully furnished kitchen with everything we needed. Location is perfect for a short walk to the beach and a private pier on the lagoon. Would definitely recommend!!

Great home! Exactly as shown in the photos! Very nice location on the water and nice walkable neighborhood. Easy access to the beach. Very clear communication with Richard. We were 14 people here for a family gathering between Christmas and New Year's.

My family & I enjoyed our stay May 2023. The first day we had a couple of minor repairs that we requested. The maintenance folks were awesome! They were quick to respond and took care of everything. They were professional and friendly. We really enjoyed fishing and the house over looking the lagoon provided amazing sunsets and wild life to watch. There was lot's of space for our group of 9. Having all the separate balconies came in handy when we needed a little separation. ( lol) We cooked several meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. Some of the furnishings could stand to be updated as they are showing their age and some of the doors don't operate properly. The first floor bedroom neither door latches properly and the middle of that bed has a hump. I think possibly a bed frame issue? Other than that we all slept comfortably and thoroughly enjoyed your home! I highly recommend it!!

Outstanding home in great location!

Perfect home for large family. We very much enjoyed our stay. Everyone had their own space and the open floor plan was perfect to host our family of 6 for Christmas dinner. The kitchen has all the basic necessities (equipment and dish-wise) for meal preparation. Also a beautiful view.
5.0
Perfect location. Service was wonderful. We enjoyed our stay. Loved the sunrises and sunset out on the balcony and at the dock. The house is beautiful. I had family visit from Missouri (who have never been to the beach) and the beach was just a few footsteps away!

Such wonderful home and located just a quick walk from the beach. The house had everything as advertised.....two coffee pots: regular coffee pot and a Keurig, a TV in every bedroom, a newer washer and dryer, lots of space for everyone, great views from multiple balconies and plenty of parking. The rental company is extremely thorough in their communication before, during, and after your stay with all the details of the stay, check in and check out directions, suggestions of restaurants and things to do, etc. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!

The home was setup exactly as described and was in a great location. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend this home and hope to be back again soon.

This was a spacious nice house with a good location in beautiful Gulf Shores.

We had 5 kids and 5 adults staying. Plenty of room for all of us with the ability to spread out. We were able to walk to the beach and only few minutes drive to restaurants when we weren't cooking at home. It was really quiet and the balconies looking over the lagoon was amazing!! We also noticed a water leak but I called and they had someone out there within a couple of hours. We will definitely be back!!!

We loved our stay in your home. The guy who came to look at things was very friendly. I told him the new bed could wait (as the memory foam would take time to fully open). He fixed the cabinets quickly (I was concerned one of our little ones would have the door fall on their feet). Your home had everything we needed (even had a few extra beds which never seems to happen for us). The dock is a place we loved as it was the only place with a little breeze during the terrible heat. The kids loved the pool and the ocean of course. I did forget to mention that we think the dishwasher may have an issue. It never seemed to go off (would run for a few hours) so we would cancel it after an hour as dishes were clean. But thanks again and will consider you all on our next trip to gulf shores!!!!

Wonderful house and location! Plenty of space for a large group coming down to the beach. Scenic location by the water - quiet and peaceful, but a quick walk across the street gets you straight to the beach. Close to plenty of restaurants and activities. All the basic supplies are provided at the house - kitchen wares, including a coffee pot and keurig, plenty of towels, washer and dryer, dishwasher, etc. Loved all the communication from Bama Beach Houses. We felt fully prepared with all the information we needed for a wonderful stay. Would definitely book with them again.

This property was perfect for our big family. The walk to the beach was short and easy. The pool and lagoon access were just a few steps out the back door. My family and I really enjoyed our time here.
5.0
A beautiful home with plenty of space. Close to many activities, but plenty of privacy. Wonderful view and just a short walk to the beach. Step out of the back door and fish from the semi-private dock or swim in the pool. We will definitely go here again for our beach vacations.

The property location was great for our family. Could definitely use some updates. When we turned on the ceiling fan in upstairs master dust dropped all over the bed could have been cleaner over all. Kitchen definitely needed a few more pots and pans. Could definitely use new stove/oven, other appliances were updated and very nice.

We were able to enjoy the dock in the back for fishing and hanging out as well as very short walk to the beach. Recommend it

This home is absolutely perfect for a large family, interested in kayaking, fishing or just enjoying the sunset over the lagoon. Just a short 5-10 mins walk to the ocean. Pool was clean and although a shared pool we found it never to be busy. The house lay out was perfect. Tons of setting on the main level. The house was clean and the bedrooms were comfortable. Thank you for a fantastic trip.

We had a great stay here! We had two families with young kids. We considered many properties and agreed that this was definitely the best option-access to the pool, lagoon, a great house with lots of space, and walking distance to the beach. It took about 15 minutes to walk from the house to a spot on the beach with young kids. We had a great time and already booked a return trip. Thanks!
