Beachfront! Near Town! Views! Heated Pool! 5Bd/3Bth #7

You will absolutely love staying at Blue Parrot #7, which is right on the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Blue Parrot #7 appeared on the TV show "Island Life" (Season 4 Episode 9). This beautiful spacious gulf front 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home sleeps 14 and is complete with everything you need to have a perfect beach vacation. The shared beach front swimming pool with comfortable lounge chairs is perfect for relaxing and playing (pool heater gas charge is $60/day extra). The two beautiful large decks provide uninterrupted breathtaking Gulf views of the sparkling waters and serene sugar white sand. The first level of the home offers a spacious and fully equipped kitchen. The lovely dining table seats eight and a cozy breakfast bar seats four. The large and open living area provides spectacular Gulf front views. (From the pool view, the unit is the right side of the duplex.)

As of January 2025, all furniture in the home is new except for the kitchen table. Also, all bathrooms have gone through full or partial renovations (new countertops, mirrors, faucets and light fixtures). [The exterior was painted from yellow to light turquoise. The video still needs to be updated.]

Inquire for monthly rates in January and February only.

The main level of the home features 2 bedrooms, a full bath, a kitchen, a dining area and a living room. The first bedroom on the main level has a king size bed and full size bath. The second bedroom on the main level is just off of the kitchen area and has two twin bunk beds. The second level of the home features 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king size bed, a private bath and a private Gulf front deck. The middle bedroom has a queen size bed and the north bedroom has a king size bed and they share a full size bathroom between these two rooms. The layout and design of Blue Parrot #7 are perfect for comfort, privacy and entertaining. Located in the heart of Gulf Shores, only 1.8 miles from Highway 59, Blue Parrot #7 is a perfect beach house with all of the comforts and luxuries of home.

For technology lovers, the home has internet download speeds up to 1 GB and all 6 televisions are HD Smart TVs each with YouTube TV provided and access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc.

The unit comes with bed linens (pillow cases, sheets and blankets) and bathroom linens (bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths, and bath mats). Beach towels are not provided. One roll of toilet paper is provided per bathroom. Wash cloths, dish towels, a roll of paper towels, a packet of dish washing detergent and a small bottle of dish washing liquid are provided for the kitchen.

The unit also has a very large ground level storage room we call the "toy room" (see picture). It is stocked with beach chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, beach toys and pool toys for use by guests. This gives you more space in your vehicle during travel since you do not have to bring these items with you. You can also use this room to store your own things so you don't have to carry them inside the living space.

For those with air sensitivities, all the duct work in the attic was recently replaced and the 1st floor duct work was recently cleaned.

A gas grill is provided and the natural gas is provided as well.

We also own the Blue Parrot #8, the other side of this duplex.

The AC does not have a min/max block so you can cool the unit to your desired temperature.

We look forward to hearing from you so we can help you have the greatest beach vacation ever!

Family vacation

The house is really cute, well appointed and very functional. We had 10 people for our stay. We did have an issue with the locks in the house. The management team worked it out. My only concern was sharing the deck and pool with the other side of the house. We were there a week and had 3 different groups staying on the other side.

Absolutely perfect home! We can't say enough good things about this property. Easy check-in. The location is perfect and the views are amazing! The kitchen is stocked with everything a large group would need! We ate in most nites. Used the outdoor grill several times, natural gas, and so easy to use. And the toy closet....WOW! Leave your stuff at home cause this toy closet has your beach needs covered. The layout of the home is great. Plenty of seating for everyone! And sound proof! Lol. When we closed our bedroom doors, total silence and we had teenagers who stayed up late! The beach was a stone's through away from the property. So easy to access throughout the day. And the pool! Stunning! Our group enjoyed it everyday and every nite. It was definitely a great family vacation! Thank you Alex for an amazing stay! Your property made our dream vacation come true!

This place was perfect for our family. We like to vacation every two years, and this place is our new stay!! Alex made check-in & check-out easy. The house had everything we needed. It was a perfect location, just on the beach. Having a pool was also great for the little kids. The “beach closet” had everything and more!! It was great not having to bring beach chairs, beach umbrellas, sand toys, and floats. 10/10

Awesome house....but very dirty

We were an extended family group of 11 people (ages ranging from 7 to 66). The house provided the space and layout that we needed. It was extremely convenient to the beach....right out the backdoor! The pool is smaller than it looks in the pictures, but it's still a nice size. My issue with this property was its LACK of cleanliness! My family had to take our first day of vacation and clean it. Kitchen countertops still had crumbs from the previous renters, bathrooms had urine and hair on the floors and toilets, dining chair was covered in food, toenail clippings on the living room floor, handrail to upstairs was gray with sticky dirt, sand in bunk beds, mascara marks on bed pillows, and the list goes on. We purchased a tablecloth to cover the dining table because it was so filthy. After WE cleaned, we asked the adjoining duplex about their unit and they had the same complaints....I'm assuming the same cleaning crew.

Wonderful location and great property

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. The layout was wonderful for our large group. Bedrooms are spaced out well to allow privacy and separation from each other. Kid friendly environment. Very well equipped with everything we needed throughout the house and included beach towels and a storage room with all kinds of beach supplies. The owner was easy to contact and easily corrected our one problem with the TV. We would return here again.
