Awesome new deck! Summertide. Sprawling Beachfront 8BR single story! Pool!

Summertide
2809 West Beach Blvd

8BR 5BA. Beachfront. Pool. Sprawling single level layout. Accommodates up to 26.

24-05-23 AWESOME NEW DECK just completed. Ready for Summer 2025! Speaking of.... ONE week opened up. Grab it fast!

Summer Tide is a sprawling gulf front home with 8 bedrooms and 5 baths, sleeping up to 26 people. It is located approximately 5.2 miles west of Hwy. 59 on West Beach Blvd., in Gulf Shores. A uniquely designed one level home, Summer Tide features a south and a north wing, each with a fully equipped kitchen and an open deck that wraps around the east side of the property. The layout for this home allows added privacy and is perfect for multiple families, or a family wanting some separation between adults and children.

The South wing of Summer Tide has four bedrooms, including 3 bedrooms with a king bed in each, one room with two double/single bunk beds, and a bunk room with two single bunks. There are three full baths in this wing: two private and one Hollywood bathroom (shared by the rooms with the queen bed and two twins). The master suite in this South wing is gulf front with picture windows and a tub–soak away your worries and enjoy the view.

The North wing of Summer Tide also features picture windows on the East side of the property offering views from the living area and kitchen. There are three bedrooms, each with a king bed, and two full baths (one private and one shared).

Please note the bunk room in the middle of the home has doors to both the north and south wings, and the east side of that room can act as a hallway when renting both wings (the "whole house"). Also, the wings can ONLY be rented separately in winter for long term "snow bird" type stays, and when this is done, they are completely self-contained.

Both living areas offer good great gulf views and each includes a queen sleeper sofa for a bit of extra sack space. A ground floor entry features a foyer and sleeping area with two bunk beds that would be great for four children. The covered parking for Summer Tide is ample.

Big pool! 27x19x3-5', Rectangle. Pool lounge furniture provided. Added a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a per night surcharge for length of stay (gas is expensive right now, this does not actually recoup the cost!). Fee subject to change due to incredibly high gas rates right now. Any online quote will show the optional fee and its current pricing. You may also add it after booking by simply requesting the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and at least a few days before check in so we can get it on before you arrive. See our FAQ about heatable pools too.

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

Perfect ! Our adult children said it was the best vacation ever. It allowed our 8 grandchildren, 3 boys from Va. and 5 girls from Texas to become better acquainted. The beach is beautiful, quiet and natural and fishing was wonderful. Quite an accommodating home and location.
Beautiful natural dunes.
Children made teter toter from driftwood.
Beautiful sunset, clean beach, soft breezes..
Sand is amazingly cool and squeaky.  So clean

We had a great stay. There was plenty of room for our families. We loved being a little further down from the main beach and we enjoyed the pool and the porch a lot. We had the best vacation!

Amazing!

First off, let me just say that overall it was amazing! You *cannot* beat the location. We basically had the beach to ourselves and wow -that was just perfect! The pool was wonderful as well. We really loved it. We would love to come back!!! Already checking the calendar for next summer 😊😊😊 Thank you!

The Best Beach House!

Summertide was fabulous. It still felt secluded, and the private pool and 1 story nature of the main living space was exactly what we had hoped it would be! We wish we could go back to it next year, but our family is ever growing and we aren't certain if it'll work. We all agreed that Summertide is the best beach house we've experienced.

The house was wonderful, we had no problems with anything. This is actually the third year in a row that we have booked one of your homes and every time we have had a wonderful experience! We noticed the updates and everything was great! Thank you again for allowing us to have this family experience.

Summertide

We have rented this home twice for our family vacation and have thoroughly enjoyed it both years. The home is decorated nicely, well cleaned, and stocked with everything you would need. The two kitchens and living areas are super convenient when cooking for a lot of people or just wanting to escape for a bit. We love the privacy of the beach and having our very own pool to hang out by at night. This home offers everything you need for a wonderful, relaxing vacation!!

Summertide Fall Vacation

We had a lovely time at Summertide. The house was perfect for our group which included different family member as well as friends and all of our kids. It was really nice to have two separate kitchens and living rooms for people to cook and relax in. The deck was perfect for catching the sunrise every morning and for relaxing and visiting during the day; plus it was just a hop and skip to the beach. Everyone really enjoyed it.

Summertide Rocked!

We split our stay between here and Sea Monster. Sea Monster was wonderful, and really conveniently located. We'd stay there again BUT Summertide was the bomb! It's further out, and we couldn't walk across the street to get ice cream, food, and beverages like at Sea Monster but Summertide felt like we had the beach to ourselves, and the heated pool really helped for spring break time! We loved them both, and I hope to be able to come back to one soon. Thanks again!

Perfect beach house

I don't think we could have found a better place to stay in Gulf Shores. The one story layout was convenient but also spacious. The two separate kitchens and living areas worked especially well for our group. The location just a little way from downtown was so private. We pretty much had the gorgeous beach to ourselves. Although we spent a lot of time on the beach, we used the pool everyday too. It was clean and a very nice temperature. Both the management company and owner were also very responsive to questions and checking to make sure everything was OK. Check in and checkout were a breeze and so convenient when we had groups arriving at different times. If we plan a gulf Shores trip in the future, we would definitely try to stay here again.

"Our house"

We had a wonderful time at Summertide. The "green house on the beach" has become "our house", according to the grandchildren. Ha! Our son caught fish for a change. Several whities that were keepers, a shark, a few catfish and a remora. We are booked for next year. Our family, led by our artist granddaughter, made a thank you picture for you while we were there. I would like to mail it to you if you will send me a mailing address. Thank you again for a great vacation at Summertide.

Family Vacation 2025

The Summertide house was great for our family vacation! There was plenty of room for the 14 of us – 8 adults and 6 children. The house was just like it appeared in the advertisement. The bedrooms and the living areas were nicely furnished and the place was very clean. Everyone in our family loves to swim so we really enjoyed the beach and the large swimming pool. The location was great – away from the crowds but close enough to easily to get to shops and restaurants. Everyone agreed that this was our best family vacation ever. Would love to come back.
