Perfectly situated in the heart of Gulf Shores, AL, this adorable beach house offers an excellent opportunity for a short-term rental investment or your very own coastal getaway! This home is within walking distance to the main public beach access where you will find open air pavilions, restrooms and showers, restaurants, and bars. This is the ideal place to hang out for the day. The main public beach is also where popular events such as the Hangout Music Festival and Shrimp Festival are held. This allows you or your guests to walk or bike to these events and not have to worry about parking, which is a huge plus! This year the owners replaced the HVAC and in 2023 the lower level of the home was completely remodeled. The downstairs space serves as a separate living suite complete with a full bathroom and kitchenette with a refrigerator and sink. It also showcases new tile flooring, new hardie board paneling, all new light fixtures, and new cabinets. The bathroom, accessed through a barn door, is equipped with a nicely designed custom tile shower and a new vanity. The interior and exterior doors of this space were also replaced. Additionally, in 2013, the home was renovated, and features were updated such as windows, interior and exterior doors, paneling, light fixtures, bathroom fixtures, cabinets, appliances, and tongue and groove ceilings were added. There are numerous spots at this property to appreciate the coastal sunsets and surroundings, whether it’s on the screened in porch, side porch, or under the house on the deck.
