About this property

Great Beach Access + FREE Golf & Activities Private Pool Elevator 'Tuxedo Flats'

Welcome to Tuxedo Flats. As the name implies, you are about to immerse in a ‘formally informal’ vacation experience. The property is comprised of two 5-bedroom, 5.5-baths, 2250 square foot flats (one over the other) that rents as one 10-bedroom home. The beach is just across the street and the back yard is resplendent with cool, relaxing water and recreational features. Plus you'll have FREE Golf and Activities every day of your stay to make it even better (value of up to $800/day).

For Summer, Tuxedo Flats rents Sunday to Sunday, the rest of the year, you pick your dates.

On arrival, you will find impeccably-crafted matching homes on each floor. Decorated in what is typically described as “coastal chic" they are spacious and minimalist in concept leaving plenty of room for an ample gathering of family and friends. Luxurious 10- foot ceilings, custom moldings, high-end fixtures and electronic packages complete the setting.

Each customized island kitchen is appointed with Wood-Mode cabinetry, GE Profile appliances, granite countertops, and an elegantly carved travertine backsplash to delight both foodies and non-cooks alike. Fully equipped, with every imaginable utensil and counter-top appliance, all you need add are the groceries.

The bright Great Rooms form the main social area with a high-definition TV and DVD player. A wet bar with stand-alone ice maker and wine refrigerator awaits you in preparation for that perfect vacation libation.

Each bedroom is equipped with its own bathroom, television, and DVD player. Each level has three “master suites” with king-sized beds and private balcony access. And there is a fully handicapped equipped - specifically designed bedroom for special-needs guests or senior citizens. Each level also has a room for kids to call their own during their stay. An elevator connects all levels together with the ground floor for ease of use.

Practical appointments abound including large-capacity washers and dryers, and a wireless Internet service which enables you to stay connected to friends and family. You will also find that the garage accessible large elevator will help jump-start your holiday quickly and effortlessly.

Connecting large front and back decks enhance the beach views and lagoon features - perfect for a quiet read or afternoon cocktails. Headed to the beach? Grab a Tuxedo Flat beach cart provided for your use, and trundle 100 feet across the street and public beach access and discover the white sands and glistening emerald waters of the Gulf. Complete the day’s activity in the landscaped pool area with lounge chairs, the refreshing pool, grilling and relaxing siestas under our covered gazebo or in the hammock. Enjoy a shaded ping-pong table or swing in the hammock chairs in our secluded outdoor breezeway. And when the outdoor temperature turns a little brisk, turn it back with our HEATED pool! The smaller pool closest to the house can be heated for $50/day.

Located just two miles west of Highway 59 on West Beach Boulevard, temptations abound with wonderful places, from great beachfront dives like West Beach Grill (walking distance along with S&S Seafood), Bahama Bobs, Sea and Suds and The Hangout (great bands all the time) to local restaurants such as DeSoto's, The Shrimp Basket and more. A couple blocks further you will discover a half a dozen dining locations that are perfect for lunch or dinner. There’s a delightful waterpark with all kinds of rides and slides for, yup, kids of all ages. A little further there are go-kart tracks (try the Woody!), amusements, and several miniature golf courses that are the perfect way to spend a few hours off the beach.

Sorry! NO COLLEGE GROUPS. We welcome teams, church groups, faculty-sponsered groups. Please note we are unable to rent to unchaperoned college groups or groups under the age of 25. Maximum of 20 adults.

Amazing Vacation

We had 21 of us in the house. The set up was perfect! Loved that each bedroom had a bathroom. Loved how close to the beach it was. Plenty of parking. Our only issue was we paid extra for the pool to be heated and we had to call daily for the first half of our trip because the pool heat was not working. Also we ended up bringing our own garbage down to the curb because no one did it for us as stated in our instructions.

Perfect size for our family!

This place fit our family better than any place we’ve had before. 20 of us do this every Thanksgiving and everyone thought this place was best. Loved each rooom having own bath. Also kitchen was hands down most furnished we’ve ever had. Separate ice machines on each floor was a great touch! Would definitely stay here in future! Highly recommend!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was my first opportunity to stay at Tuxedo Flats as it was a large house to take care of my family and with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The location was perfect with close proximity to the beach access and close to town. I do have a couple of issues with the property, two of the TV’s did not work and the floors were in desperate need of a deep cleaning as they would leave the bottoms of your feet dirty. Lastly the pool was not heated which was unfortunate given the cool nights. Exterior could use some freshening up.

Another wonderful family vacation!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second year to rent this beautiful home for our annual family beach trip!! The location is wonderful, 2 miles off of the T, so traffic is minimal. The gulf and lagoon views are gorgeous! And, with 2 pools, a ping pong table and the large shaded area under the house to relax and unwind in a rocker or enjoy a meal at the picnic table... there is never a dull moment, nor do we hear the "I'm bored" complaints from the kids!!We love this house so much that we have booked it again for our Labor Day beach vacation next year!! We usually don't even book a home for a second trip, much less a third!! We are already excited about 2025!!

Family Vacation Tuxedo Flats

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall our stay was very nice. We had 12 family members. Plenty of room to spread out and great areas to gather as a group. It is conveniently located just across the street from a beach access which was wonderful. Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals were very professional and responsive. We did have issues with the elevator and they came right away two times. The first gentleman arrived and he didn’t report anything to us. Had he taken the time to explain there was a part missing/broken and you did have to MANUALLY close the door on the bottom level, the second guy would not have had to come back out. Updating the signs at the elevator would have been very helpful. All types of warnings about not opening/closing the elevator doors. So, upon arrival we hauled all of our 7 days luggage, groceries, etc up the steps which was a huge undertaking. The landscaping at the garage doors needs to be cut back. We had a huge van and it scraped our vehicle every time we went in and out. The landscaping around the pools could also use some cleaning up as things are overgrown and scary looking. The house furnishings are showing age and the floors and kitchen tables were filthy...the grandkids feet stayed black. The layout of the house itself was exceptional. Highly recommend ACME Oyster House, Surfside Pizza and Bahama Bob’s.

Love this for our large extended family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was impeccable. Yes it’s across the road from the beach, but it still has a beautiful view of the beach/ocean. You can hear the waves from the balconies every morning/day/night. The two pools and pool area were high quality and perfect for all the kids when we were done at the beach. The bedrooms all had huge beds and great space. So many bathrooms. Loved the two kitchens and ice makers and all the kitchen things. We were able to spread out but also gather together when wanted. The couches are huge and nice. Everything was great. There’s also a large storage room at the bottom with everything from sidewalk chalk, to wagon, to chairs, to boogie boards and everything in between. The families loved all of the outdoor seating available and picnic tables and ping pong table to play. We used the charcoal grill a couple nights too which was nice. Someone left some charcoal and we in turn left some for the next group. We typically stay together for vacation (9 adults and 11 children ages 1-10) and this has been our favorite house yet.

Annual Golf trip with friends

Tuxedo Flats was fantastic! We had a party of 6 couples and all had big beds and our own bathrooms and there were rooms to spare! The water quality was great. The property was easy to check in to. It had an elevator to help take bags and groceries up to BOTH full kitchens. It had large living areas on both floors with ample seating for everyone. The pools were lovely and beach access was right across the street! They even had a closet full of beach chairs and floaties. The management company was responsive and the one small issue we had was handled promptly. All in all we had a great time at this property!

Remarkable

Most of my family members were skeptical of a beach getaway. Most beach trips have been somewhat disheveled. Rarely has a beach city experience overwhelming surprised my family. Everyone enjoyed the privacy of having their own bathroom and the 1/2 bathroom on each level. Every staff member were more than willing to assist and showed true southern hospitality. Thanks GSV rentals. We will definitely visit again.

Wonderful family memories made in a beautiful home!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family takes an annual Labor Day beach vacation, and, we never stay in the same place twice. We have already reserved this beautiful house for next year!! The location is as perfect as you can get without paying the outrageous rate for a beachfront. The beach access is literally across the street! We had a couple of very small issues (toilets filling slowly, or not flushing), and those were resolved immediately! I loved that they had sent me a text while we were in route so we had a quick, easy way of getting in touch with them. The wine cooler on the 2nd floor didn't cool well (not a big deal for us as we were just going to keep extra water and sodas chilled in it, and you do have 2 full sized refrigerators in the house), but the service guy got a measurement for it while he was there changing out the toilet flapper valve, so it will be replaced soon. The huge covered area under the house was great for family gathering in a shaded, breezy spot while the kids swam in the pools. It was so nice that we actually spent most of our stay in the pool area, and only went over to the beach a few times. Overall, the location, cleanliness, space, decor, pools were perfect for us!!

Perfect for Family Beach Week

Tuxedo flats was everything we needed and more for our family beach week. We had more than enough space for LOTS of people. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the pools and all the beach and pool toys were a major bonus. We had a couple minor issues come up and the property manager was prompt and very responsive. The location, just across the street from beach access, can’t be beat. Many in our group did not want to leave. We’d easily recommend Tuxedo Flats to others and will certainly not include it on our list for next summer.

Beach access is one house east and across the street. We enjoyed both the beach and pools. The property description is accurate. The few issues we had were addressed immediately. Suggest eating at Zeke’s Restaurant at Zeke’s Landing and Marina. If you’re a fisherman they will cook your catch! Would recommend this property.
