In addition to the awesome lagoon front features, like the dock and small beach, access to the Gulf is via the 12th street public access which is a short direct walk up 12th (right next to our Seafoam home!).

LOCATION!
Lagoon front. This home has fabulous views over the lagoon. So nice. So tranquil. And those sunsets! Wow! Situated in a small neighborhood of mostly owner occupied homes, this great home shares a very cool lagoon front pool with the neighborhood and shares a lagoon fishing dock too!

POOL?
You bet. Guests of OGP5 have access to the community pool, right on the lagoon! Bonus, there is a small lagoon side beach right by the pool, along with a fishing dock! The pool is 24x14' big, and 3-5' deep!

BEACH ACCESS
OGP 5 has access to the small lagoon side beach by the community pool, and it is only a short walk of less than 1/4 mile to the beach the 13th street public beach (next to my Seafoam home!). These is a pedestrian cross walk to help you get across West Beach to that public beach too! PLUS there is a back trail from near our home to access all the fun and fishing at Calloway Bridge too!

PARKING
There is available onsite parking for 4-5 vehicles.

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 rock solid and ran > 250Mb 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!

SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, 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 drip coffee makers and most now have Keurigs as well.

PETS
We do consider well-behaved canine furry friends. This requires owner pre-approval, and is subject to a pet fee (currently $250 per pet). Please inquire. Subject to restrictions which often vary by season. Again, please inquire.

No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

Need something a little smaller (or to add another place nearby?). We also have On Golden Pond 3, a 2x3BR duplex one home over. A great value too!

Sand in my boots

Our stay was really great. The home was perfect, and in a great location. We went to the SIMB festival. That is what we got our kids this past Christmas. The whole festival was really awesome, and a great experience.

On Golden Pond 5

We had a great time. We were able to be with my wife's brothers and sister and their families and we had a great time and had plenty of room. I loved the kitchen and living area on the main floor. We were able to all be together, but not right on top of each other. We had a great trip.

Perfect home for large family

We very much enjoyed our stay. Everyone had their own space and the open floor plan was perfect to host our family of 6 for Christmas dinner. The kitchen has all the basic necessities (equipment and dish-wise) for meal preparation. Also a beautiful view.

Beautiful home in a wonderful location.

Beautiful home in a wonderful location. We spent a week here with friends. The kids loved the private sandbox area:). The views were gorgeous. Easy access to the beach. The house was clean and furnished beautifully. You do need to pack bath towels and washcloths unless you want to wash the few provided every day. The combination of bunk beds, regular beds and pull-out couch worked well for our families.

We will definitely be back!!!

We had 5 kids and 5 adults staying. Plenty of room for all of us with the ability to spread out. We were able to walk to the beach and only few minutes drive to restaurants when we weren't cooking at home. It was really quiet and the balconies looking over the lagoon was amazing!! We also noticed a water leak but I called and they had someone out there within a couple of hours. We will definitely be back!!!

Perfect vacation !!

We had a great time at On Golden Pond ! Beautiful property, with great views of the Sunset from multiple decks . Our group loved being on the Bay because several of our crew like to fish . There is a walkway just steps from the house where you can fish all you want . The walk to the beach was not an issue, my wife and I are 65 and it was not a big deal for us to walk. The house itself is absolutely gorgeous and had more than enough room for our group. Plenty of supplies in the kitchen for cooking and our grandkids absolutely loved the Bunkbed room. I would definitely book this house again !!! The owner was a pleasure to work with !!

Beautiful house on the lagoon

This is a fantastic place to stay in Gulf Shores if you have several people. Our family with adult children and grandson stayed here for several days. It worked out perfectly. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms. The view of the lagoon is lovely. The beach is only about 4 blocks. It is an easy walk, and there is a crosswalk to cross the busy street. It is also very close to a walking path that we also enjoyed. Our group liked to sit out on the deck and watch the birds and boats. The kitchen is well stocked. We hope to stay here again in the future.

On the bay

The property location was great for our family. Could definitely use some updates. When we turned on the ceiling fan in upstairs master dust dropped all over the bed could have been cleaner over all. Kitchen definitely needed a few more pots and pans. Could definitely use new stove/oven, other appliances were updated and very nice.

Wonderful, spacious home... super close to the beach

Wonderful, spacious home and super close to the beach. The pictures do not do justice for the size and spaciousness of this house. Plenty of room and seating for everyone. Both a regular coffee pot and a keurig machine are in the kitchen. A television is in every bedroom and the washer and dryer seemed newer and were larger than expected. The public beach access is a short walk across the street, but the bay view is extremely relaxing as well. Multiple balconies to enjoy the view. Plenty of parking, which is a plus at the beach! The rental company is extremely thorough in their communication before, during, and after your stay with all the details of the stay, check in and check out directions, suggestions of restaurants and things to do, etc. Would definitely stay here again!

Great stay!

House was big and comfortable views were exceptional. Very clean. Everything as described. Rick was awesome to work with. Only negative was the furniture was dated that being said I can tell they are slowly updating. Thank you Rick you made my stay so easy! [Thanks Karen! 😎 So happy you all had a wonderful time, and I am glad I could help with the stay dates too! I am all for 'easy' 😉 And yep we are constantly trying to change some furniture too, glad you noticed. Too costly to do all at once (and would make it a LOT harder for us to keep this really nice value oriented price point too... something else I am all for since I hate that a lot of things have priced folks out!). Happy to assist with a return, and if you have any suggestions, DM me anytime! Thanks again! 🙏]
