Now for the fun stuff. I'm a Premier Host & have been a VRBO host since 2011. I love what I do! My mission is to offer a clean, upgraded & efficient escape for families to create everlasting memories because life’s too short & I'm here to make it a 5 star stay for you.

We hope you love your Gulf Shores stay so much that you'll consider staying at one of our other properties. Once you experience the Heroes Retreat brand, you'll know exactly what to expect at the other locations...my help along the way. I self-manage this location & the Mackinac Island one. The reviews speak for themselves. So no need to worry. This is the opposite of using one of those worldwide property management companies. Those large companies are communicating with you from a scripted call center in a different country. They’ve never even been to Gulf Shores! So leave the planning & attention to detail to me! All 3 locations are available year round. Located on the Gulf of America, the Atlantic Ocean & the Great Lakes. But you’re on this page because you’d like to visit the gorgeous beaches of Gulf Shores. So let's get your Gulf Shores stay booked with us! Don’t forget to ask about our repeat guest incentives.

Heroes Retreat 3 is a direct GULF FRONT condo with wonderful unobstructed views of the Gulf of America. For those not used to this "gulf front" lingo, this is what an ocean view condo is on any of the other coast, but better! The water is an array of teals and the soft, white, quartz crystal sand that feels great on your feet. This type of sand isn’t found everywhere. If you have traveled from the Gulf of Alabama to the Gulf side of Florida then you know this is the most perfect sand.

Everything you need for a great vacation is close by from souvenirs, groceries & entertainment to great restaurants. You can just walk across the street to a great local restaurant, the grocery store, seafood market or the ice cream shop. Perfect for couples & families alike. Amenities include; a beach-side pool with hot tub, gazebo, wooden boardwalk to access the beach with an outdoor shower, bicycle racks, beach-side grills, restrooms located at the pool & a fully stocked kitchen. For those of you that are new to staying at a vacation rental, you might wonder what fully stocked means? It means you don't have to bring pots, pans, a griddle, utensils, dishes, kitchen gadgets, etc. It's all here for you & I pride myself on this. Anything to make your stay more efficient & your packing list a little shorter. We know how important coffee is to many of our guest, so there’s even a Keurig two-in-one that does drip coffee and K-cups, coffee grinder, frother, filters & a French press.

So what do you have to bring? Your Gulf front reservation includes a starter set of items. This means a Young Living non-toxic lemon scented hand soap at each sink, 1 roll of toilet paper, one 13 gallon & one 4 gallon(grocery store size) trash bag/ trash can & 1 roll of paper towel. This gets you started upon check in. Some guest pack these items so they don’t have to go to the store to replenish them & take away from time on the beach. Some purchase more when they arrive.
You'll need to bring your food, snacks, spices, seasonings, coffee, K-cups, bathing suits, beach towels, laundry soap, dish soap, beach chairs, hat, sunscreen, beach toys, beach blanket, beach cover-up, flip-flops, phone chargers & a reusable water bottle. (There’s a Zero Water filtered pitcher in the condo)

Organic sheets for the beds, bath towels, hand towel & wash cloths are provided per guest on the reservation. NO more than 6 guest. Linens & towels are not replenished daily like a hotel. A brand new washer & dryer are conveniently located right in our unit for you to use to wash them if needed. **You must request the sleeper sofa sheets if needed.**

Just upgraded! Brand new, secure pool fencing & entry gates. This area is only accessible by key fob. The key fobs will be in the condo, on the counter, along with your parking pass upon check-in. There is a $40 fee charged if you lose a key fob. Another perk with staying with us, we pay your parking pass! If you're on an extended stay (7 days or more) & require a mid-stay clean, it can be requested. This fee is your responsibility.
There are beach chairs & umbrellas for rent, as well as jet skis, parasailing, bikes, paddleboards & much more available in the area. A company sets up umbrellas & chairs right on the beach in front of our building. They can be rented by the day or the duration of your stay. They take care of it all. The other option is to bring your own beach chairs or purchase at various stores close by. Some guest just put the beach chairs back in the car when they are done on the beach for the day rather than bringing them up every night to the condo. This helps with less sand in the condo too! Items must be removed from the beach every night per city code.

Why stay with us?
-Location, location, location
-Direct Gulf Front view & direct beach access.
-Parking fee included! Same great cleaner each week, makes it a 5 star stay.
-KING SIZED bed with a water view of Little Lagoon and when you don’t want the sun shining in, there’s sliding shutters that blackout the windows.
-Unobstructed view. WYSIWYG! Just you, the sound & salty air smells of the gorgeous Gulf of America.
-Upgraded kitchen, which means more cabinets than most units in our building. This means more space to bring food & pantry items.
-Cleaned with Young Living non-toxic/fragrance free cleaning products. No plug-ins, no candles, no toxic air fresheners & no scented garbage bags are used in this unit. Curious as to why and need more info? Curious why you always have headaches around any of those scented items, just ask me. I can talk about clean living all day long.
-Two air purifiers to keep the air clean & circulating. This is a great backup plan for some white noise if you need that to sleep.
-Keyless entry to front door of condo is convenient. No need to pick up a key.
-Elevators upgraded winter of 2022.
-Washer/Dryer right in the unit and free to use for small loads.

-I’m here to help pre-booking all the way through your stay & to help you book a repeat stay because you’ll love the view.
-Use of Zero Water filtered pitcher for the cleanest drinking water.
-The built in bunks have a pocket door that can separate them from the living room. This helps out for naps, early risers, night owls and little ones.
-Kitchen table seats 4. Counter area seats 3
-Polywood balcony furniture is a major upgrade. This is premium outdoor seating. No flimsy plastic chairs here. The pieces are safe & sturdy. Only the best for my guest. Please see photos for reference. High top table & seating for 4. Two of the seats can even be used as foot stools. There’s even a lounger to get your daily dose of Vitamin Sea. The view is like being on a cruise without the motion sickness. A perfect spot to dine al fresco. We even have dinnerware & drink ware that can be taken out on the balcony.
-Dolphin viewing right from the balcony. Bring your binoculars!
-We are available year-round. Snowbirds welcome.
-Just an elevator ride down, take a few steps and you’ll have your toes in the sand.

-Various DVD's for kids & adults, holiday themed ones too, under the tv.
-Tile flooring throughout entire condo.

Sunshine, Sand, Relaxation, and excellent communication

We absolutely loved everything about this location. The unit was the perfect size for my family, beautiful view of the ocean, fully stocked with kitchen items, and even a large array of games to play. There is a delicious restaurant and grocery store within walking distance. This host is very thorough with communication and will help with anything you can dream of. She has a binder in the unit with brochures, menus for nearby restaurants, and general activities, which was much appreciated. We will definitely be visiting again!

Wonderful honeymoon

First off, the room was great. It had everything we needed: a fantastic view of the sand and water from the balcony, hooks for beach towels, Brita for cold water, a comfortable bed, and great decorations all over. The condo itself was fabulous as it was a short walk to the sand and water, a quick elevator in the building, beach gear to bring to the pool, and easy access to great restaurants. Reading previous guest book entries was cool, and it helped us find JHS bookstore in Foley. Would highly recommend the room, the condo and the entire area! Thanks for making our honeymoon a memorable experience!

Lovely condo

This condo had all we needed for a great beach vacation. We do a mix of cooking and eating out and the kitchen had everything we needed. The furniture was a nice departure from “beachy white” and the mattress I would rate as firm. Our favorite part of the condo was the balcony. We enjoyed our meals out there, watched for dolphins swimming by, and found it to be a pleasant place to read on a rainy day. Jen was wonderful to work with and kept the rental process simple and provided restaurant and activity suggestions.

A little piece of heaven

Wow! We had a fabulous time! Squeeky, white sand, clear water, beautiful view, and a convenient, quiet location. Jen was very thorough and thoughtful with information, tips, and an easy check in process. We had fresh fish every night at local restaurants(our favorite was Bahama Bobs). We even went on a shrimping tour where we saw dolphins, crabs, and fish with Captain Skip on Sailaway Charters. We had a perfect family vacation! Thank you, Jen, for everything!

Cute Condo with Amazing View of the Gulf

First of all, the host was the absolute best! She answered my questions promptly and also sent lists of restaurants, attractions and a packing list so you'd be sure to have what you'd need for your stay. The condo was so comfy and the balcony and outdoor furniture was a real treat. We spent a lot of time on the balcony! I would book this property again!

Perfect vacation spot!

The view is amazing. I loved having coffee and meals on the balcony while watching the waves. The beach is large with super soft sand. The pool is clean and refreshing. Jen is an amazing host who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The kids really enjoyed the bunk beds, and the master bed was more comfortable than what we have at home. She has put a lot of thought and effort into making sure people have anything they could possibly want during their stay. In the kitchen, there is even a griddle, K cup maker, french press, milk frother, and brita pitcher. The information she shared on local areas was very helpful, up to and including a local shell guide in which the kids really enjoyed looking up what they found on the beach. This condo did not disappoint!

A break from Hangout Fest

My fiancé and I loved this place because we were able to walk along the beach to get to and from Hangout Fest, but it was also far enough out that it was very calm and quiet at night after the festivities were over. Waves Grocery store is only a 5’ish minute walk away, which was a huge plus for us.

Look at this Gulf Front view, you can't beat it.

What makes this property unique

Although it's a one bedroom the property sleeps 6!!! How?!? Well, there's a set of built-in bunks with twin sized mattresses and a ladder. In the living room there is a queen sized sleeper. Have another group of family or friends joining you? We can refer to another host we know that also owns in the building.
