Surfside Serenity · Gulf Shores, Alabama

No road to cross. Just the dunes, then the Gulf.

Surfside Serenity is a beachfront house on the Fort Morgan end of Gulf Shores, where the houses thin out and the beach stays quiet. The dunes start at your door.

It's newly renovated and set up for two families: a king suite and a queen room for the adults, a bunk room for the kids, two living areas and a six-chair table for dinner.

The wraparound porch faces the water from every corner, the fire pit on the deck is for the evening, and the beach wagon is loaded with towels, a cooler and a boogie board.

“This house is truly special. The host was amazing, and the place is very well kept. I loved being able to step right onto the beach. There was also plenty of beach gear available for just us. The views were spectacular, and the top patio was perfect to watch the stars at night.”
