Beach Axis, West Unit
1203 West Beach Blvd, Gulf Shores, Alabama
Beach Axis, West Side: 5BR 5BA Beachfront Beauty. Pool. Perfect location. Close to everything, especially the beach! Right across from Waves Grocery. Location. Location. Location!
NEW VIRTUAL TOUR. Check it out. Awesome! https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=XtaeeQETLiG
This listing is for the West side unit of Beach Axis. One side perfect for your group? Then this West side of Beach Axis (5BR) may be just what you need!
Or, check out Beach Axis's East side unit (5BR) — same great layout, same bedding, sleeps the same number, and same great amenities, so if one isn't available, grab the other--you can't go wrong! Or.... Go BIG and snag Beach Axis's East & West sides together in one listing. That's 10 BR!
This is one of my guests' favorite places. Lots of repeat visitors each year! Great price for a recently completed redone beachfront duplex. RIGHT ON THE BEACH. Beach Axis is completely furnished and professionally decorated. It has a fully equipped kitchen including a dishwasher and microwave.
Beach Axis' deck is as close to the gulf as you can get in the area. Folks LOVE LOVE LOVE its gulf front decks! Most nearby units have their pool behind the homes, putting the pool between you and the beach. Not Beach Axis. Beach Axis' pool is streetside. Sit on the deck, enjoy the sunset, while most neighbors are behind you! How nice is that! The pool is private to the two sides of the duplex—not shared with any other home.
Don't forget, peak season is in swing and during peak season, we book Saturday to Saturday. So, if you're looking and don't see any availability, check to see if your stay duration falls under those parameters as that usually is the problem :) But, as always, feel free to reach out as we are always happy to help!
One side perfect for your group, then book my Beach Axis East and Beach Axis West listings for the individual units. Take one or both, you'll have a great stay either way! For both sides, check out the combined Beach Axis East & West listing!

POOL
Big. Streetside. Private to the two sides of the duplex: no sharing with other places nearby. The pool is open all year. It's a big oval, 30x15x3-6'. Lounge chairs are provided around the pool.
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 solid and ran > 100Mb 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!
PARKING
There is available onsite, offstreet, parking for 4-6 cars if you use space under the home and stack well. In duplex units, please be neighborly about this.
SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, GRILLS 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 both drip coffee makers and Keurigs as well.
PETS
We do consider well-behaved canine furry friends at many locations. This requires owner pre-approval, and is subject to a pet fee (currently $250 per pet). Approval in a duplex location, especially for peak weeks, generally is only available for guests renting both sides of the duplex. Please inquire.
No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!
That's it! We think you'll have a great stay in our home. Reach out and let us know how we can help!
SNOWBIRDS! Up to 2/3rds off for off-season stays of 28 days or longer. Inquire.
No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp (highly recommend steamed cajun from the shop across the street!), bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

Everything was great! We had a wonderful time

We had another very enjoyable stay with Bama Beach Houses!!! So good to see the refurbishment completed each year. This past stay, our refrigerator was not freezing. We had a new one delivered and set up within a few hours. Now that is service!! That's why we keep renting from Bama Beach Houses!!!
[🎉 Thank you Rita! LOVE hearing that you notice the upgrades and refurbs each year. Bummed about the fridge, but glad we could get you set up super fast with a replacement too. Things will always happen, that's unavoidable, but how things are handled... we try to be fast and effective! So nice that you notice. Love having great guests like you, and thank you so much for staying with us year over year... and for the wonderful review too! 🙏 🥰😎🏖️]

This is our 3rd stay at the Beach Axis (1 time was on the east side and 2 on west side). The house and beds are perfect set up for our 3 generation family gathering at the beach. The location is perfect and the house has all the amenities we need. Thank you for a wonderful week full of memories.

Great house for families. This property is great for families with children. Plenty of room, good-size kitchen, and plenty of bathrooms. I like having rooms on separate levels so that napping children can have some quiet time while others are downstairs.
