About this property

Perfect Gulf Front Beach House *Beach Club Amenities*The Best of Both Worlds!

Enjoy the beautiful, unobstructed view from the large beachfront deck, or walk directly to beach and the fabulous Gulf waters. Watch for the dolphins when the Gulf is calm, and enjoy riding the waves with your boogie board when the surf is up!

Almost Heaven is a lovely direct Gulf front home with tile floors throughout and ceiling fans in all rooms. The furnishings are tasteful and comfortable.

The kitchen is fully equipped, including a full sized refrigerator, range, dishwasher, microwave, and small appliances including a crock pot, hot plate, hand mixer, blender, coffee maker, and more.

The living room has vaulted ceilings and a wonderful view of the beach and gulf from the sofa, chairs and two matching recliners. It also has satellite TV and additional televisions in three of the four bedrooms.

The fourth bedroom (two twin beds) has a smart tv for Netflix and other streaming services.
All four bedrooms have large built-in chests of drawers and spacious closets.


Two bedrooms have King beds, one bedroom has a Queen bed, and the fourth has two twin-sized beds. We also have a Fisher-Price 3-n-1 travel portable crib and highchair. A queen sized sleeper sofa is available in the living area.

Linens and normal cleaning are included in the rental fee.

Parking is located under the home.

Amenities: We are members of The Beach Club, and as our guests you can enjoy all of the privileges that The Beach Club has to offer (administrative fee from The Beach Club applies/$49 per day of use covers the group).You can enjoy swimming in any of the Five outdoor pools, and sunbathing areas at The Club. There are also Five Jacuzzis, two steam rooms, two saunas, indoor pool, exercise room, an European health spa with fees, game room, and gated playground.

The Beach Club offers fine dining at the Beach Club Restaurant which includes a lovely outdoor balcony overlooking the pool and Gulf of Mexico.

More casual dining is offered at the Village Market where you can also purchase groceries and gourmet sundries. If you prefer to snack by the pool, there is a tiki bar offering frozen summer drinks and an outdoor grill. In addition, there is a soda fountain and delicious ice cream parlor at the Village Mercantile. You are a few miles from Jessie’s on the Bay, three Sassy Bass restsurants, and Tacky Jacks2.

There are activities offered for all age groups. The area is abundant with fabulous golf courses: Kiva Dunes, The Peninsula, and Craft Farms, just to name a few. There are also tennis courts at the Beach Club. During the summer months, there are planned activities for the young ones, such as visits to the zoo, face painting, pizza parties, and contests of all kinds on the beach! In addition, there are planned winter activities for the snow birds!

While the house is lovely and very comfortable, the most impressive feature of Almost Heaven on the Beach is the front yard: white sand and the Gulf of Mexico.

The house itself is so relaxing. The view is incredible. Almost Heaven is designed to bring families together. It is close enough to 'town' to enjoy going out to dinner or souvineer shopping, but in a private neighborhood where you will enjoy your space and privacy. Enjoy getting to know each other again. That is what family vacations are for.

Had a great time!

This house was perfect for our family! We loved being right on the beach, very quiet neighborhood and most of the time we were the only ones on the beach! (Went in April) The house could use some upgrades but over all it was perfect for us!

Almost Heaven

This house was perfect for our family vacation. The house was well loved which made things less stressful because we weren't worried about the smallest thing. The owners were fantastic. There was an issue with the tv and they were on it immediately. We will absolutely be booking with them for any future stays in Gulf Shores. with the tv and they were right on fixing it

Great family vacation beach house.

The lived-in but clean beach house was great for our family vacation with little kids. The house was clean, nicely furnished, and well loved so we never had to worry about the kids scratching the coffee table or the like. We only had to focus on spending good family time and the wonderful location in a peaceful location, not a resort area. The home is ON THE BEACH, so it wasnt anything for our 6 year old to run back from the beach and grab a beach toy by himself. All in, this place worked PERFECT for what we were going for.

Great stay

Second.time staying at Almost Heaven. We had 7 people and there was plenty of space for all of us. The location is perfect and the house has new appliances and all of the kitchen items you could need. Only recommendation would be some additional cover on the back deck...will definitely stay at Almost Heaven again in the future.

Mfantastic beach getaway

Excellent beachfront location with direct access to the beach. Home was perfect for a beach vacation, and the beach infront of the house had so few people it felt like it was private. Communication with the host was excellent. “Almost Heaven” is definitely top of the list for next summer.

Only way to go

This place was amazing. Stayed with our 84 year old grandmother and was so close to beach she could get to it. We had our 1 year old twins and 4 year old son and could get back up to the house in a flash for any and all. We were also there with my in laws. So in all....8 people and didn't feel crowded at all. Kitchen was completely furnished and that allowed us to cook in every night. Washer and dryer worked great for all our clothes. Lastly, the hosts are by far some of the best I have ever had. Worked with us and gave so many suggestions. If you are staying in this area....you need to stay here.

Beach Gem

This beach house was exactly what my family needs each year. With over a decade of staying in crowded Gulf Shores, this house was a perfect fit. We needed a beach front view, 4 bedrooms, and nothing too crowded on the beach. This place checked all the boxes! Quiet neighborhood and not too far to drive if wanting to get to the reqular stops for food and shopping in Gulf Shores. We would highly recommend.

Spring Break at Cabana Beach

We enjoyed our Spring Break at Cabana Beach. The beach house had plenty of space for a family of six. Fantastic view and great beach right off the deck. The weather was good but not great during the week we stayed so it was nice to have the option for Beach Club access. Very nice indoor/outdoor pools and fitness facilities. Overall, would definitely recommend the beach house.

If I could give 10 stars I would. Missy was quick to answer questions, give us ideas for entertainment and supply our needs if needed. Most of all CALMED our fears of the hurricane! The house was well stocked and cleaned extremely well! We are very picky about that. Wish we could of stayed another 2 weeks. We will be back. Maybe no jellies next time lol

Great stay & Perfect location!

Great location!! We took advantage of the guest pass to the Beach Club--the kids loved the pool and ordering lunch from the Tiki Bar. The house layout was perfect for our two families with children. We spent a lot of time on the back deck enjoying the view. The house was clean but it could definitely use a deep cleaning throughout. Despite having a lot of rain we had a great time and cannot wait to visit again!

Perfect!!!

This was our fourth time staying at Almost Heaven, and as always, everything was awesome! It's truly the perfect little beach house for a family and/or friends vacation. It was our friend's first time there and they fell in love with it too and we're already planning the next trip. Also, the owner, Missy, is a sweetheart and let us know that she was just a quick text away should we need anything during our stay. 5 stars all the way!!

“Heaven on Earth”

We take a family vacation with our son and daughter with their families every 2 years it’s a very special time since we are not all together but 2-3 times a year. This house was everything we dreamed it would be, Walk way directly to the beach, beautiful view from the back deck that Gram and PawPaw could watch the crew do their nighttime crab hunting. The house was very clean and well stocked. We took advantage of the Beach Club as well for a sand free break at the pool, played games and had dinner from the food trucks out front. We were just a short drive to all the activities Gulf Shores has to offer. I feel like Missy and I became friends she responds to any contact within minutes. the check in process was very easy, and the check out requirements were amazing. If you want the best of the best Fort Morgan has to offer book this home you will not be disappointed . The Poole family will be back!!!!

Perfect family vacation.

This property is everything and more that is stated on the site. My family has been renting in this area for 30+ years but being directly on the beach was a game changer for us. The home is well stocked with comfortable beds with clean linens, kitchen supplies, beach chairs and toys, glider and chairs on the deck looking directly at the beach, and direct beach access. The boardwalk to the beach allowed us to load a wagon with all our supplies for the day. Missy made checking in very easy and was a dream to work with by answering texts messages and email promptly. We’ve wasted years in condos dealing with elevators, pool access gates that won’t open and rude tenants. Those days are over for us. We will definitely be back to this beautiful place.

About the host

Hosted by John & Missy Tyler

Host profile image
I married my high school sweetheart in 1986 in my hometown, Decatur, Alabama.Taught elementary school in Trussville for 5 years before becoming a stay at home mom to our sons. When the kids were tiny we lived in Ohio for a year, New Zealand for 2+ years, then Poland and San Francisco. When it was time to settle down again, we chose the beautiful Gulf Coast as our home in 2002. We love showing off our chosen hometown, so feel free to ask us anything!

Why they chose this property

We prayed over our vacation home search intensely. When we walked into Almost Heaven (then named No Worry Inn), we knew it was the one. We felt an incredible peace when we walked in the door. 100% of our guests have been perfect, really! Often housekeeping calls and says they basically cleaned a clean house. We consider this house on loan from the Lord, a talent entrusted to us for a time.

What makes this property unique

Directly on the Gulf of Mexico, 75 feet of white sand. A boardwalk is ideal for brides. All of the living on one level makes it easier on young and mature alike. The ceramic tile floor throughout is ideal for those with allergies, or those who just like the cleanliness of tile. Almost Heaven's floorplan of two bedrooms and a bathroom on the east side and the west side is comfortable for two families vacationing together. The great room with cathedral ceilings and a bank of windows facing the Gulf brings families together. For an administrative fee, you can use our Beach Club membership for pools, hot tubs, tennis, and more.
