I have the privilege of managing this condo for really super owners, Paula and Mike Bayack of Kansas. They are beach people trapped in Kansas. They tirelessly worked to have their condo nearly totally renovated after the hurricane in September 2020. It took over 7 months to restore everything but it is more beautiful than ever. Great owners and strong believers!

If you have read this far: I am Randy Moris and am an unashamed follower and believer on Jesus Christ. My Savior and Lord. When my wife Lisa and I were in some of the darkest times of our lives we began a humble business at the beach with condos. Through the thousands of guests, just like you, we were able to do something other than to worry 24/7 about difficult situations within our family. What a blessing it is to serve you and others. Thank you for looking at this condo and our other properties.

Above All Else
Consider Christ
He Is Still The Answer

Absolutely amazing property I can't recommend enough for your next Gulf Shores vacation! Picture perfect based on the photos provided, this condo unit was all that and more! From the one quarter mile walking distance to the beach (about 2 miles past the public beach access, which makes the beach access area much less crowded, even during Summer peak days) to the rear inlet access with a fully modernized dock area including water & electrical access for boating & fishing needs this property does not fail! We spent 5 days total at the condo and loved every day of it. The early morning and later evenings at the beach were simply amazing. The kids loved using the outside showers and pool after a few hours at the beach, which helped wash the sand and salt off. The outside grilling area (gazebo near the inlet docks) was surprisingly nice! Big heavy custom made cast iron grills, not some cheapo Char-King junk that gets worn out over time. We decided to grab steaks and chicken at the local grocery one evening and I spent an hour at the grill area. I honestly could've sat out there all day just taking in the sights of the inlet! To conclude, this was a phenomenal vacation and the memories and kids having a wonderful time is always worth it in itself, but Summer Beach House West helped form the experience and we are very thankful and grateful to have stayed there. 5/5 Stars! Highly recommend! Thank you from the Hosick Family!

Clean condo close to the beach

My wife and I stay in this vicinity once a year since 2018. This area of West Beach in Gulf Shores is just far enough away from the hustle and bustle but also just close enough. One of the cleanest properties we’ve ever stayed in. Super comfy beds! Great communication of the property manager.

First visit to Gulf Shores

This was a wonderful condo to stay in for our first trip to Gulf Shores! It had everything we needed for our family. The views were amazing and the private beach access was also a plus! We enjoyed the pool on days we didn't go to the beach! We will definitely stay here again!

Amazing vacation!

Condo was very clean and in a great location with short walk to beach access. We loved sitting on one of the three balconies each morning to drink coffee. Great views from all balconies. It was wonderful having a washer and dryer to use. Pool at condo was also very nice and clean. Property manager responded promptly when we had issues with WiFi the first day. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great Condo with plenty of room and seats for a family of 6

We came to stay for a week with our 4 girls ages 8-16. We had a great time. They all loved the condo and felt very comfortable and it had plenty of space for lounging in the evenings to relax and play games. My only suggestion would be to put a light kit on the fan in the living room to have the option for more light. It was quite dark in the evenings and the lamps didn’t give enough light to see as we did puzzles and games. Otherwise we loved it and they have already asked when we plan to come back again. We will definitely stay here again and have already recommended this exact unit to friends back home.

Wonderful Week!

The condo was fantastic! Very clean & so cute. Beds were super comfortable. Kitchen was very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The only drawback was the flight of steps (30 of them) to get to the front door! I got lots of exercise, LOL! Thanks for keeping a beautiful place to stay.

Gulf Shores never disappoints !

We spent first two weeks of February at this lovely property. It is everything they advertised and more ! We absolutely loved everything, except maybe the weather, but when that happens, the shopping does not disappoint ! The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. I am a clean fanatic, and it did not disappoint there either ! Randy assured me, it would be immaculate, and it was. Randy, as the reviews indicated, is an amazing host, he was so prompt and helpful of any questions we had. We love the beaches in this area, and the beach access for this property is really good. We enjoyed Rouse’s market for some great meat/seafood choices for the grill, as well as some good prepared food. The Beach House just down the road was also a close option for some good food and drinks outside. We usually bring our RV when visiting this area, and this was our first condo experience there, and we really enjoyed the change. My husband and I were there for two weeks, with our daughter, son-in-law and grandson flying down for a week visit. A great time was had by all. Three separate TV’s, three separate balconies was one of the reasons we chose this property over others. The kids were happy with the quality of wifi as well. We would not hesitate to return here. Thanks to all for sharing this property ! Bev and Dan Reid

Host profile image
We are beach lovers trapped in Kansas. Our dream of having our own condo in Gulf Shores came true after many years of vacationing in Gulf Shores. We are Paula and Mike Bayack. We have asked Randy Moris to help us with our condo and will be your contact beginning to end. We have rented from Randy and his properties many times. A relationship was established that made it possible for us to buy this condo and know it will be in good hands. We are Paula & Mike Bayack and thrilled to have you vacation at our condo.

Why they chose this property

This condo was the exact type of place we were searching for years. We love the quiet end of West Beach where we can enjoy the beautiful lagoon behind us and walk a few steps over to our beloved beach. This condo checked off all our boxes. Truly a God given peacefulness and calm here.

What makes this property unique

Access to both the ocean and Little Lagoon. We have 3 Balconies and all 3 view the ocean and lagoon here in Gulf Shores.
