12. Pastel paradise minutes from the beach (from 145 USD)

Front view
Source: Airbnb

There are many Gulf Shores vacation rentals available, but this one is the perfect pastel paradise. Outside this apartment, hues of sky blue and cherry red greet you on the front porch – in the forms of comfortable wooden chairs surrounding a mini table. Enveloped by warm autumnal tones, this Gulf Shores beach house rental is scattered with unique hand-painted decors such as color-blocked coffee tables and folded carnations, amongst canvas paintings that depict the dream beach home. If you’re tired from the flight, sprawl out on the sofa-sleeper in the living room, and catch some of the local shows on TV while settling in. The fully equipped kitchen has plenty of space to store your snacks and ingredients, and you can easily whip up a tasty meal for the family to enjoy at the dining table. Even the place mats, wall ornaments, napkins, and utensil holders are colorful, adding vibrancy to the otherwise gleaming white room. After getting some rest, it’s time to head out to the beach just 2 minutes away! No more worries about forgetting to bring your sunscreen, because you can always head back to get it. If you’re bored of suntanning, try the lagoon fishing behind the complex. Who knows, you could have your freshly caught delights for dinner at the outdoor poolside grill tonight!

A hideaway tucked away from civilization, sitting under three oak trees and hazel bushes, you might liken this property to grandma’s house that Little Red Riding Hood went to visit. With handmade nature-themed decors lining the porch, you can’t miss this quaint little gem on the way to the beach. The warm hosts, Leeanne and Lloyd, always leave some personal touches around the house. Upon arrival, you will find a welcome card and a note scribbled on the chalkboard in the living room. There’s also a basket full of snacks that are freshly prepared for each stay, so you can munch comfortably from the swings in the indoor back porch. Feel free to bring your family members along, because this roomy cottage can house up to 13 people at once, spread between 4 bedrooms. Located just 15 minutes away from the beach, there are plenty of water activities to do around the area. When the summer days get too hot, try kayaking on the Bon Secour River. Alternatively, visit the David L. Community Center, which has an indoor heated swimming pool, ideal for the colder months.
