You'll love the PRIVATE Pool & Short Distance to the Beach at our Gulf Shores Vacation Rental beach duplex. Renovated in Spring 2021. We are lucky to have our own pool, just for our duplex, looking south toward the Gulf. We are only 2 rows of houses from the Gulf, about 200 yards back from the beach. You'll find public beach access at each end of the block.

Plus you'll have FREE Golf and Activities every day of your stay to make it even better (value of up to $700/day). **Not available for Jan/Feb long-term rentals.

Great private pool that you can heat the pool for $50/nt plus tax.

When Pigs Fly is a stacked duplex, one floor over the other with the same basic floor plan except that the upstairs has stairs to the Rooftop Crow's Nest with Panoramic Views of the Beach & Little Lagoon. Each half has 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths and sleeps 6-8.

You'll also find a sleeper sofa on this level. There are Covered Porches on each floor for Enjoying the Wonderful Views, Gulf Breezes and Sound of the Surf.

Comfy stay!
When Pigs Fly is a fantastic property! It's so roomy and comfortable, well kept and clean. Half of our party is already looking in to renting it again. It's a great, quiet location, close enough to beach access and shopping, but far enough away that you aren't directly in the hustle and bustle of it all.

Is this heaven….no it’s Gulf Shores!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, everything was perfect a bit pricey but very nice. Might need to update the furniture sooner than later but nice. Have to watch parking meters and speed limits are very tight!

Host profile image
Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals is a small family-owned business specializing in large beach houses. We own When Pigs Fly and several other homes here. We also manage other family-friendly vacation homes, primarily in the West Beach area of Gulf Shores. These are all homes that we are in weekly so you are either renting from the owner, or one step away from the owner.

We appreciate you considering a stay with us.

Why they chose this property

In 2004 we discovered that OMG, Alabama had a beach--and it was a really beautiful beach. We fell in love with the sugar white beaches and family-friendly atmosphere. We liked that Gulf Shores was easier to reach than any other beach we knew of along the Gulf Coast (no 2 lane roads to get here but it is still not huge and built up!)

From the beach road we spotted the house & its big grassy pool area & porches and loved it, but couldn't really imagine that it was a possibility for us. We came up with a plan that calls for another 20 years of hard work, a lot of cooperation from Mother Nature, and the idea that other families like ours will continue to love Gulf Shores and want to come visit.

We love the West Beach area of Gulf Shores. It is low-key and very residential but you are just a couple of miles from restaurants, within 3 miles of Waterville and the Zoo, within 4 miles of several grocery stores.

What makes this property unique

Pool, pool, pool plus a nice BIG yard. Love the quiet location about 600' back from the beach, but also like have refreshing water right in the backyard. And maybe this is sacrilege, but it is really nice having a grass yard instead of sand! Our children were 3 & 5 when we bought the house and could manage the distance to the beach.

We try to have the things we like at the house for your stay, like a grill, beach cart, books, games, etc. Lots of houses don't have those sorts of things but we hope they add a little something extra to your stay.
