Island Shores is one of Gulf Shores' most popular and affordable vacation rentals, offering a stunning direct Gulf-front view of the Gulf of Mexico from its 6th-floor location. You'll be greeted by beautiful white sandy beaches and convenient access to shopping, dining, movies, and various activities. The complex features a spacious swimming pool with ample lounge and patio seating, as well as an elevator and luggage/valet carts for easy loading and unloading. Sea 'n Suds, a well-known oyster bar and seafood restaurant, is just a block away, and you'll also find numerous other restaurants, shopping malls, and recreational activities within walking distance.

This updated two-bedroom, two-bath condo provides a full kitchen, washer/dryer, convertible bed for additional guests, and free Wi-Fi. The master bedroom is equipped with a brand new king-size bed, a private bath, and a new flat-screen TV and DVD player. The second bedroom, located off the living room, can now accommodate three guests with a new bunk bed unit featuring a double lower bunk and a twin upper bunk. This setup is ideal for families with three children. The living room features new furniture and a flat-screen TV with a DVD player, providing a comfortable space to relax with a movie, a book, or a nap. The beachfront balcony includes a patio table and chairs, making it the perfect spot to enjoy the Gulf view.

Island Shores is ideally located near grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, shopping outlets, and recreational options. The Tanger Outlet Mall, which boasts over 120 brand name stores, is a great place for retail therapy on rainy afternoons. The Wharf offers dolphin cruises, an amphitheater for concerts, additional shopping, and a movie theater. Nearby Orange Beach features Perdido Pass, a dedicated area for fishermen. You'll also find marinas, glass-bottom boats, chartered deep-sea fishing excursions, golf courses, the Alabama Birding Trail, amusement parks, and water theme parks just a short drive away.

Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family retreat, or a break from your everyday routine, Island Shores offers a fantastic vacation choice. The owners strive to make your stay comfortable, stress-free, and memorable, looking forward to building long-standing relationships with their guests.
