Now for the fun stuff. I'm a Premier Host & have been a VRBO host since 2011. I love what I do! My mission is to offer a clean, upgraded & efficient escape for families to create everlasting memories because life’s too short & I'm here to make it a 5 star stay for you.
We hope you love your Gulf Shores stay so much that you'll consider staying at one of our other properties. Once you experience the Heroes Retreat brand, you'll know exactly what to expect at the other locations...my help along the way. I self-manage this location & the Mackinac Island one. The reviews speak for themselves. So no need to worry. This is the opposite of using one of those worldwide property management companies. Those large companies are communicating with you from a scripted call center in a different country. They’ve never even been to Gulf Shores! So leave the planning & attention to detail to me! All 3 locations are located in different states and available year round. Located on the Gulf of America, the Atlantic Ocean & the Great Lakes. But you’re on this page because you’d like to visit the gorgeous beaches of Gulf Shores. So let's get your Gulf Shores stay booked with us! Don’t forget to ask about our repeat guest incentives.
Heroes Retreat 3 is a direct GULF FRONT condo with wonderful unobstructed views of the Gulf of America. For those not used to this "gulf front" lingo, this is what an ocean view condo is on any of the other coast, but better! The water is an array of teals and the soft, white, quartz crystal sand that feels great on your feet. This type of sand isn’t found everywhere. If you have traveled from the Gulf of Alabama to the Gulf side of Florida then you know this is the most perfect sand.
Everything you need for a great vacation is close by from souvenirs, groceries & entertainment to great restaurants. You can just walk across the street to a great local restaurant, the grocery store, seafood market or the ice cream shop. Perfect for couples & families alike. Amenities include; a beach-side pool with hot tub, gazebo, wooden boardwalk to access the beach with an outdoor shower, bicycle racks, beach-side grills, restrooms located at the pool & a fully stocked kitchen. For those of you that are new to staying at a vacation rental, you might wonder what fully stocked means? It means you don't have to bring pots, pans, a griddle, utensils, dishes, kitchen gadgets, etc. It's all here for you & I pride myself on this. Anything to make your stay more efficient & your packing list a little shorter. We know how important coffee is to many of our guest, so there’s even a Keurig two-in-one that does drip coffee and K-cups, coffee grinder, frother, filters & a French press.
So what do you have to bring? Your Gulf front reservation includes a starter set of items. This means a Young Living non-toxic lemon hand soap at each sink, Young Living non-toxic all-purpose cleaner, 1 roll of toilet paper, 1 roll of paper towel, we supply 13 gallon & 4 gallon(grocery store size) trash bags, unscented dishwasher tabs, unscented laundry tabs and coffee filters. This gets you started upon check in. Some guest pack these items so they don’t have to go to the store to replenish them & take away from time on the beach. Some purchase more when they arrive. You'll need to bring your food, snacks, spices, seasonings, coffee, K-cups, bathing suits, beach towels, beach chairs, hat, sunscreen, beach toys, beach blanket, beach cover-up, flip-flops, phone chargers & a reusable water bottle. (There’s a Zero Water filtered pitcher in the condo)
We provide organic sheets for the beds. Bath towels, hand towels & wash cloths are provided per guest on the reservation. NO more than 6 guest. Linens & towels are not replenished daily like a hotel. A brand new washer & dryer are conveniently located right in our unit for you to use to wash them if needed. **You must request the sleeper sofa sheets if needed.**
As of 2025 upgrades:toilet, deep kitchen sink and new faucets, secure pool fencing & entry gates. This area is only accessible by key fob. The key fobs will be in the condo, on the counter, along with your parking pass upon check-in. There is a $40 fee charged if you lose a key fob. Another perk with staying with us, we pay your parking pass! If you're on an extended stay (7 days or more) & require a mid-stay clean, it can be requested. This fee is your responsibility. There are beach chairs & umbrellas for rent, as well as jet skis, parasailing, bikes, paddleboards & much more available in the area. A company sets up umbrellas & chairs right on the beach in front of our building. They can be rented by the day or the duration of your stay. They take care of it all. The other option is to bring your own beach chairs or purchase at various stores close by. Some guest just put the beach chairs back in the car when they are done on the beach for the day rather than bringing them up every night to the condo. This helps with less sand in the condo too! Items must be removed from the beach every night per city code.
