Beach Castle, East. 8BR 6BA. Sleeps 27. Large Pool! Great decks,, Beachfront. Value!
Beach Castle, East Unit
3660 Ponce de Leon Ct Gulf Shores, AL 36542
APRIL 2, 2024: NEW VRBO LISTING! First 3 get 20% off. This will automatically apply, no need to ask.
8BR 6BA located directly on the Gulf! This Beach Castle has everything. Sleeps 24 or 48 with both sides!
This listing is for the East unit of the Beach Castle. One side perfect for your group? Check out our Beach Castle East and Beach Castle West listings for the individual units, or go both both sides at Beach Castle East & West, with 16 BR and 12 BA, with connecting door!
Each side of the Beach Castle includes 8 bedrooms, including 3 Gulf front Master Bedrooms, one with separate shower and jetted tub, and 6, count 'em, 6 bathrooms. Each side of this wonderful home sleeps up to 24 people. There's also a sitting room, living room, dining room, and well-furnished kitchen.
Main Floor N Bedroom: King, en suite bath
3rd Floor N Bedroom: King, en suite bath
3rd Floor E Middle Bedroom: Twin over Full Bunk (uses N BR bath with separate entrance from hall)
3rd Floor W Middle Bedroom: Two Twin Bunks (uses SE BR Bath from separate entrance)
3rd Floor SE Bedroom: King, en suite bath (shared with bunk room)
3rd Floor SW Bedroom: King, en suite bath
4th Floor N Bedroom: Queen + Twin Bunk, en suite bath
4th Floor S Bedroom: King + Twin. Bunk, en suite bath
Main Floor Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa
3rd Floor Bonus Lounge: Queen Sleeper Sofa
PLEASE NOTE THE ABOVE BEDROOM DESCRIPTION IS CURRENTLY ACCURATE. We make changes! This description is up to date. The pictures are newer than the matterport/virtual tour but not as up to date as the above list. Both the photography and virtual tour are expected to be updated in April 2024 (now!) but you should rely on the description for now.
Other amenities include many televisions, dvd players, cable, internet, local and domestic long distance telephone service, stereo with CD player, central air, ceiling fans throughout, TWO refrigerators with ice makers, washer dryer, garbage disposal, 2 dishwashers, and covered and open decks. The Beach Castle also features outdoor showers, a picnic table, a huge sundeck, and even a full sized pool!
Located on Fort Morgan, Beach Castle is close to many restaurants, golf courses, and other things to do, feels away from it all (but is only a short drive to all the hubbub on Gulf Shores itself), and is often a more cost-efficient choice for those who seek something a little more laid back. Plus, as an added bonus, our Fort Morgan vacation homes are not currently subject to the same restrictions on setting up umbrellas and other amenities overnight as those in Gulf Shores itself.
TWO REFRIGERATORS
Two? Per side? Yes two. Because you won't want to stay somewhere without an extra fridge once you have had them.
POOL
Big. Private to the two sides of the duplex: no sharing with other places nearby. The pool is open all year. It's big! 30x15x3-5'! Rectangle. Lounge chairs are provided around the pool.
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 solid and ran > 100Mb 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!
PARKING
There is available onsite, offstreet, parking for at least 6 midsize vehicles (per side), more if you stack well. In duplex units, please be neighborly about this.
SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, GRILLS 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 both drip coffee makers and Keurigs as well.
PETS
We do consider well-behaved canine furry friends at many locations. This requires owner pre-approval, and is subject to a pet fee (currently $250 per pet). Approval in a duplex location, especially for peak weeks, generally is only available for guests renting both sides of the duplex. Please inquire.
No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!
