Peggy's Paradise at Lagoon Tower #502 by Southern Vacation Rentals

A short distance from sailing, surfing, and more, this smoke-free condo lets you experience it all. Thanks to the convenient onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 6-minute walk to West Beach, or easily tackle the quick 2-minute drive to Gulf Shores Beach.

After you return, you can unwind at the beach (enjoy the direct beach access!), chill by the outdoor pool, or sip a drink on the balcony; you may also like the fitness center. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, air conditioning, and a desk. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as an ice maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
