About this apartment rental

Welcome to Summer House West, located in West Beach, Gulf Shores! The complex is nestled between Little Lagoon and The Gulf of Mexico.

This 2 BR / 2.5 BA condo is the best of both worlds! We sit directly on Little Lagoon and across the street (100 yards) from the Gulf of Mexico. It's like two vacations in one! Walk across the street for the waves and surf of the white sand beaches or spend the day fishing, boating, lounging on Little Lagoon. As a guest mentioned, the walk to the beach is shorter than some high rise condos directly on the beach! Condo comfortably houses 6 guests.

Beaches - Pool - Lagoon - Fishing pier with cleaning station- Gazebo - BBQ - Boat Slip

This condo is a townhouse (1,300 square feet) with the bedrooms (2) on the second floor, both with full bathrooms and their own balconies (master balcony overlooks the lagoon, 2nd bedroom balcony has view of the Gulf of Mexico). Condo has 3 private balconies in all.

The main floor has the kitchen, pantry, half-bath, laundry, dining room that seats 6, and living room with two sofas, 42 inch smart TV, and balcony that overlooks Little Lagoon! The kitchen is fully stocked with all of the appliances, cookware and dishes you will need to prepare meals during your vacation. There are also charcoal grills for your use.

The complex has a swimming pool, private beach access (100 yards from condo, across a non busy street), a fishing pier, and a fish cleaning station, gazebo with grilling area, charcoal grills and picnic tables. There is free covered parking for two cars, as well as additional guest spaces.

Guests have access to owner's closet in carport to use (beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys, floats, beach cart) and store personal gear (beach, fishing, or other).

Summer House West is a small, quaint complex with a total of 32 units. It has 3 buildings and our unit is in the back building directly on Little Lagoon!

*Please note as this is a small complex, there is no elevator, only stairs. Our condo entrance is on the second floor.

Located in the West Beach area of Gulf Shores, Summer House West is 3.5 miles from the heart of Gulf Shores--The Hangout and the "T" and a 15-minute drive to the Orange Beach area.

Gorgeous Little Lagoon Pass is just a 0.5 mile away!

We are close enough for convenience, but far enough for getting away from it all!

Snowbirds welcome (Dec, Jan, Feb)!

Free wifi provided.

Please let us know if you have questions or how we can help you plan your trip to Gulf Shores!

This was a wonderful place for my family and I to spend our summer beach trip! It was our second year returning to Summer House West, and it didn't disappoint. The place had plenty of space, plenty of amenities, easy access to the beach, beautiful sunrises and beautiful sunsets over the lagoon. The owners were very helpful and responsive. They were very quick to help us with some additional needs with my extended family. Thank you for a great experience! I hope our family is able to return next year.

Property was as stated in listing, very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed and property owner was very accessible and checked in on us several times to make sure everything was going smoothly. Location is in a mostly beach house area so traffic volume was low and flowed smoothly near the condo but was still just a few minutes from, food, shopping, attractions, and Gulf State Park.The property like the majority of other places in the area are on stilts and do require access to the room by stairs, just something to keep in mind if you have difficulty with stairs.The lagoon behind the property was very nice, we enjoyed bird watching, fishing, wading, and watching the sun rise and set from our balcony. There are 3 private balconies total in the unit. Each bedroom has a balcony and there is also one off the living room downstairs. The beach access is just across the street and easy to get to. This stretch of beach wasn’t overly crowded but was busy enough without everyone being right on top of each other.Overall a wonderful stay and we look forward to visiting again.
