Gulf Shores is a lovely city on the Gulf Coast of Alabama. It is home to Gulf State Park, a beautiful place where you can engage in many outdoor activities. You can go for a swim in the beach, take scenic walks, golf, and admire stunning views at a pier. You can even go zip-lining over the dunes. However, it must be heartbreaking to have to leave your pets behind when you go for a vacation so why not just bring them along when you visit Gulf Shores? In the past, most hotels in Gulf Shores do not allow pets on their premises, but you will be pleased to know that there are now many pet-friendly accommodations everywhere. Read on to find out the top pet-friendly Airbnbs in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and pet-friendly rules and regulations.
