Gulf-front beach house for 17 with elevator & multiple decks!

Right on the sands of Gulf Shores, Life’s a Beach is the ideal setting for a sun-soaked getaway with family and friends. This spacious 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom beach house sits right on the sugar-white sands of the Gulf of Mexico in Gulf Shores, Alabama, offering incredible water views and direct beach access. Enjoy breathtaking Gulf views from the middle and top decks, plus a beachside deck designed for gaming and gathering. With space for up to 17 guests, this home is perfect for making lifelong memories. Near the heart of Gulf Shores, you're just a short drive from great restaurants, shopping, and attractions in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

This three-story retreat was built for relaxation, offering spectacular Gulf views. Whether you're soaking up the sun, unwinding with loved ones, or enjoying the soothing waves, this home is the perfect escape.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll love the welcoming layout. The ground floor features back patio access, a single-car garage, and an east garage converted into a hangout space. A two-person elevator adds convenience. Step outside to a covered patio with a pub table, dining table, and enclosed outdoor shower. The east garage includes a secondary fridge, game table, half bath, and cushioned seating. Fire up the BBQ grill for easy outdoor meals.

The middle level hosts four guest suites, each with an attached bath. Three of these rooms feature direct Gulf views and deck access.

The middle level also includes an elevator stop and a full-size washer and dryer for added convenience.

The top floor is where everyone will gather, featuring a massive open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with panoramic Gulf views. The gourmet kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, glassware, high-end appliances, and two large islands, each with four barstools. The dining table seats ten, with additional seating at the breakfast bar. Lounge on the plush leather sectional or dine out on the Gulf-facing deck, where Polywood lifeguard-style chairs provide the perfect spot to take in the coastal views.

This level also features the Master Suite, complete with a king bed, full day bed w/ twin trundle, TV, Gulf views, French door access to the top-level deck, and an ensuite bathroom. A second washer and dryer set is also on this level.

Gulf Shores isn’t just a beach destination, it’s a place to create unforgettable moments. Start your day with a peaceful walk along the shoreline as dolphins frolic in the surf. Spend the afternoon building sandcastles, floating in the warm Gulf waters, or trying paddleboarding. As the sun sets, gather on the deck with a charcuterie board and your favorite drinks while the sky transforms into a breathtaking blend of pink and orange hues.

For those eager to explore, you’re minutes from seafood restaurants, boutique shops, and attractions like the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, Waterville USA, and the Gulf State Park Pier. Whether you’re seeking adventure or a laid-back retreat, this beachfront home is the perfect backdrop for your getaway.

Our group of 14 enjoyed a week in this home and enjoyed every second. It was all we could've asked for and more. The location was great, almost felt like we had the beach to ourselves.

This house was everything we needed and more! We had 5 adults and 3 children and there was plenty of room for everyone. The location of the house is further down the strip which was great because it wasn't as populated and it seemed like we almost had the beach to ourselves. It was an awesome stay and we will most definitely stay there again!

Beach house was very clean, plenty of room for our family, quiet area with a private beach which was the best part.. didn’t have to worry with the kiddos we all could enjoy the water and sand without big crowds!! Of course the elevator helped with the kitchen and living room being on top floor but no complaints!! This was a great place to stay and plan on coming back next year!

Our group was comprised of 4 families with a mix of adults and kids. The house is as nice as advertised. The place is in great shape, along with the kitchen being well stocked with needed cooking supplies, etc. The beach was immediately accessible from the back porch. Because the stretch of beach the house is on is only compromised of houses and no condos, there were few people on the beach and we felt as though we had the entire water front to ourselves. The rental was perfect for our stay.

Working with Solux was a great experience. They were always prompt with notifications and any questions I had about the property. Check-in and check-out were amazingly easy. The property had an amazing view and had a spacious living, dining and kitchen. Worked great for our family of 10. We would difinitely use them again.

minor fix its needed to be done. Overall a great location, virtually no one on the beach other than birds and dolphins! If planning to cook, may want to bring measuring devices.

House is beautiful, clean, lots of bathrooms. Very nice property. Suggestions: due to price: have cable working in all bedrooms. And a walkway built to beach area. Walking up small hill in sand with umbrellas and chairs was challenging. Thank you for a great stay.

For us, the location was perfect for everything we wanted to enjoy. The house is gorgeous with a fantastic floor plan. We had a 2 year old with us and we spent a lot of time keeping her off the stairs...toddler life! My elderly parents were also with us and the elevator was the only reason they could come, worth every penny!! We are all talking about our next stay here and we just got home. The views are magnificent. The beach is not crowded in this area at all. Would highly recommend!!

Life’s A Beach is great for large groups. The elevator was a godsend. We had the beach to our selves. The first day there was an air conditioning problem and they had a service person there within two hour of notifying the manager on a Friday night.

Had a wonderful week just steps away from the ocean with plenty of beach space for privacy and games. The home is very well thought out and spacious. The upper level is open concept and perfect for everyone to gather. Has everything one needs in the kitchen and two beach-level refrigerators. Property manager was very timely and responsive. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to vacation for the week.

This pictures in the listing does not do this house justice. It is far more impressive in person! The elevator is a game changer especially with the kitchen and living room being on the third floor. The communication was great with Polly. Check in and check out was a breeze. I did have to call her on the phone one time to clarify something and she was awesome and a pleasure to talk to. If you're looking for a beach house to take a large family to then this is one you need to look at!

Words cannot express how spectacular this beach home really is. Pictures just don’t even do it justice. It is so very impressive. It met every expectation and more. From ceiling to floor windows overlooking the beach, to spacious outdoor living space, to a modern kitchen, this home offers everything you’ll ever want for your family’s beach experience. The house is so luxurious, impeccably clean, and beautifully decorated. It’s just absolutely gorgeous!! It was our pleasure to have the opportunity to stay here and we have finally found our annual vacation destination. It’s location is perfect. Close to shopping and restaurants but far enough away to offer an uncrowded, secluded beach. Stay here and create memories of a lifetime!!

It was amazing from start to finish. The house is amazing that even has an elevator which came in handy with loading and unloading since the house is three stories and the kitchen is on the top floor most of the bedrooms on the second floor. Only issue we had was with the A/C having a hard time keeping up on the top floor considering the heat at the end of August. It was about 80 degrees on the top floor during the heat of the day. We did not bother messaging because we expected it to be hot.

This house fit our needs well. We had four families with teenagers, and everyone enjoyed their stay. Some fished from the beach, some swam, the adults enjoyed the beach, and all of the teens had fun looking for crabs at night. We found the house to be in pretty much the condition it was listed as and reading the comments helped us know what to expect. The extra refrigerator was helpful for our large group, but there were a few things that should be looked after (not all lights working and railing on balcony). With that said, it was not enough to keep us from renting again in the future. The management team was super helpful and easy to work with. One of the best among my experiences with vacation rentals. Thanks for a relaxing week with my friends!
