Notes from the host
Paws & Relax
Paws & Relax is a beautiful, very well kept beach house 20-25min from all of the action in Gulf Shores but MILES away from the huge crowds!! The five star reviews don't lie! Feel at "home" in our three year old 3 bedroom/3 bath home with dual king master suites, a bunk room and sleeper sofa to sleep up to 10 (maximum of 8 adults) on all memory foam mattresses. Wake up with a cup of coffee on the large, covered front porch with views of the gulf and bay. Fix breakfast in the kitchen stocked with all of your cooking and baking needs. Walk down (a mere 150yds) to the white sand beach at the end of our quiet, dead end street and relax. (Beach cart, beach towels and 6 chairs included.) Come back "home" after your day in the surf and sun and rinse off in the outdoor enclosed shower with hot and cold running water. Then get ready to grill up dinner on the top of the line charcoal grill and eat on the two picnic tables in the shade under the house. Relax at the end of the day with a glass of wine on the large, covered front porch while you enjoy the beautiful sunset, listen to the waves and count the stars then curl up in the livingroom and enjoy a movie on the 75" 4K Roku Smart TV. Family and dog friendly! Front porch is gated to help corral kids/dogs. Non refundable pet fee of $100/dog (limit 2 dogs unless otherwise approved in writing). If you are looking to escape the larger crowds in Gulf Shores this is the place for you. Also join the group Alabama Beach Lovers on FB for fun things to do during your stay!
