Photos and Description of the Gulf Shores vacation house rental 8 BR/8 BA, directly across from the Gulf, sleeps 20-24

Gorgeous beach house with lots of luxury touches! Southern Secret is right across the street from the Gulf, with no house between us and the ocean so you have wonderful unobstructed views. No only is the house beautiful, with great Gulf views from all three stories, you'll also have a pool oasis just for the duplex. For each side on the first floor, you'll have a living room, dining room and kitchen plus a queen bedroom overlooking the pool and Little Lagoon beyond and a full bath. The kitchen has custom cabinets, granite counters and stainless steel appliances. The second floor has a king bedroom with a private bath and adjoining private Gulf-view balcony, a full laundry, another full bath and a bedroom with two twins. The third floor has a beautiful master bedroom with an adjoining private balcony and a luxury bath complete with separate shower, jacuzzi tub and large double vanity. The pool area comes complete with palm trees!

Rating
5 out of 5

Vacation house fit for royalty.

Nolash Kirksville, MO
Review Submitted: January 26, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
I stayed at Southern Secret July 5-11, 2008. It was a wonderful house to stay in and it was far enough down Gulf Shores Blvd. that we didn't have much traffic. There also wasn't a house in front of it so we had a full, beautiful view of the ocean on every story of the house. It is incredibly decorated and the private pool was an outstanding ammenity. It is also right across the street from the beach--a literal hop, skip, and jump away!!
It provides in-home privacy with large, beautifully furnished rooms and also provides enough space for semi-large gatherings in common areas. The pool deck was used more than anything--we even barbequed!
I highly recommend Southern Secret to any traveler and I hope to have the opportunity to stay there at least once more on a vacation.
Owner's Response: We are glad you enjoyed it and look forward to your next stay. Please contact us about repeat guest rates!
