Photos and Description of the Gulf Shores vacation house rental
Duplex with 3 bd/3.5 baths per half, sleeps 12-16, elevator, private pool

Enjoy privacy and great views of the Gulf of Mexico & Little Lagoon at our beach house only 200 yards from the beach. This is closer than most 'gulf front' resorts.

The house is divided into two three-bedroom/three bath halves, one stacked over the other, with an interior connecting stairway and an elevator. Great for togetherness or shut the doors and each feels like its own house.

Each floor has a spacious living area with wide open Gulf views and a large covered porch with a table and chairs to enjoy outdoor dining or relaxing. The beautifully equipped kitchen is open to the living area and features

custom cabinets, granite counters and stainless appliances.

The master bedroom has a king-sized bed, adjoining lagoon-view private porch, and master bath with separate jacuzzi tub, shower and double vanities. The second bedroom features a queen bed and private bath. The third has a pair of twins, a lagoon-view balcony and a private bath. Each has a television.

Family Fun at Southern Surprise

Review Submitted: August 2, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our week at Southern Surprise. The house is ideal for large families as both floors are fully equipped with plenty of living space. We were very happy to have bathrooms attached to each bedroom. The kitchen was fully stocked and all the appliances were stainless steel (and the ice maker was a great surprise!)

The pool in the back is what set this house apart from many that we looked at in Gulf Shores. It was large enough for our family water volleyball games and our kids played and splashed all day long. The house is just a short walk to the beach and close to several great restaurants.

Finally, we very much appreciated the owners helpfulness throughout the week. Prior to reaching Gulf Shores, they provided us with helpful directions to lessen the impact of weekend traffic. Once we reached our house, they asked for any feedback that would make our stay better.

Everyone in our family would recommend this house to others and we are all hopeful that we will be visiting Southern Surprise and Gulf Shores in the future.

Review Submitted: July 21, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
Our third year at Southern Surprise was the best. Our family, ranging in age from 8 months to 69 years, had a ball. The furnishings are lovely, the rooms spacious and the kitchens are wonderful for cooking for a large group. We love the balconies and the views from both sides and felt very comfortable in our "home away from home". The pool is a perfect size for a large group, and the "surf was up" while we were there - which was the icing on the cake for all of us.

We recommend Southern Surprise to all.

Family Reunion

Review Submitted: May 31, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2011
Our family rented Southern Surprise upstairs and downstairs for a family vacation. My brother and sister both joined us with their families. We had a wonderful week. The house was absolutely beautiful and immaculately clean when we arrived. Having the pool was terrific. We were able to spend some time at the beach and when the younger kids got tired, we came back to the house. The little ones could nap while the older kids played in the pool. There are plenty of porches to sit in the shade and enjoy the views. We loved having breakfast on the porches. There was plenty of room for everyone to visit and enjoy one anothers company. We did have a problem with the neighbors at first. There was very loud music and partying late into the night. I called the managers the next day and they took care of it. The rest of our stay was peaceful. We enjoyed our visit so much. I hope we will be able to return next year.

Great week at the beach!!

Review Submitted: June 18, 2010 Date of Stay: June 2010
We really enojyed The Southern Surprse. We take this trip every year and with this being our first stay in the house we were especially pleased with the house and surrounding area...The only negative was the yard was uncut when we got here and the grass was about knee high around the house...but on Thursday of our week they yard men came and cut it and made it so much better...The beds were great on the upper floor. One of our guests complained about the 2nd floor queen bed having a hole in the mattress and made it uncommfortable, but not something terrible!!. The pool made our trip, not only was it the largest pool we've ever had it was great since the beaches were closed due to the Oil spill of 2010!!! We loved having so many lounge chairs, but would have loved a table by the pool as well...The beach toys, chairs, and beach carts made going to the beach so much easier...
Having 4 familes with a total of 14 we had pleanty of room. the bathrooms were amazing and a real plus with so many...The elevator was a huge plus for bring in luggage and groceries..and since I'm recovering from back surgery it was great not to have to climb the stairs!!! We also love the inside connecter for the duplex, it made it so easy with the small kids!! I was ver impressed with the quality of the linens and the quality of the decorations in the home!!! Overall this was the best house we have used in our 5 years of beaching...we diffently look forward to staying here again!!!

Owner's Response: All the excitement in the Gulf temporarily pulled our lawn maintenance schedule off while our town was busy with preparedness activities but we are back in the swing of things and think you'll be pleased when you return. This is the first we are hearing about the queen bed--we want to know about things like this so we can fix them immediately! Thanks for letting us know.
