We loved the ocean view from every bedroom, living room and loft! The host had a basket of snacks and treats waiting for us! There were beach chairs and toys for us to borrow as well as corn hole boards for our family championship! We hope to go back soon.
This was the greatest place my family has ever stayed. We travel the entire US. Our amazing host gave us all imperative infomation on a timely manner. As we explored the beautiful house there was a note with a varity of snacks. As we opened the fridge there was a bottle of wine.. this was such a great experience for my kids and
We stayed a week here for a destination wedding for our daughter the house was great the beach was beautiful definitely would stay again. The size was perfect for my family.
House was very comfortable. The few things we didn't understand about the property, Lisa was very quick to respond with answers. Every bedroom has a view and is very well equipped for your beach stay! We will book this property again!
We had a great time at this property. Beach access is great and all the amenities of town are right there too. There were beach chairs, toys, grill, etc so you don’t have to pack everything to go to the beach for a few days.
We enjoyed our stay and loved that the house was right on the beach. Our adult children and grandchildren had a wonderful time hanging out and catching up. We saw dolphins from the decks every morning. We had a wonderful time.
The house is very nice, plenty of room for all of us. The beach area right outside the house is very private, which was so nice. The owner was quick to respond when we had an issue with the A/C and was even able to send someone out on Sunday to check it for us.
We had 6 kiddos all 6 and under with us, it was one of the most relaxing vacation for us four adults! Easy access to beach and plenty of space to hang out inside on the cooler, rainy days. A fabulous place to stay!
Our family had a nice time at Gulf Shores. It’s easy to enjoy being right on the beach. The house we stayed at had a great layout with all rooms facing the ocean as well as two master bedrooms - a big plus. There was also plenty of beach chairs available so we did not have to rent them and the deck had some newer furniture that was not shown in the booking photos.That said our review rating is a little lower because we did notice some maintenance opportunities that would make this an even better experience. Top Few:1. The dining and family rooms have furniture with upholstery that is worn or losing support. 2. Rusty furniture on the deck could be removed, since there is newer furniture already available.3. Prune items from the kitchen/beach closet to include choiceful items that are in great condition. The beach closet was so full we could not access much of what was in there and some items were rusty/broken. Suggest addition of drinking glasses, though there are many mugs available.4. The water hose to wash off sand was leaking and the system was duct taped to a pole. 5. One of the windows looking out at the ocean was dirty or damaged - which was noticeable anytime you look at the ocean.6. The owner has a video camera on the deck - a pro or con for some.
Quick birthday trip with friends. Fantastic house! Spacious with a great view and owners thought of everything for a comfortable trip. Very welcoming and in a great location away from the crowded beaches. Would definitely stay again.
This house is in a perfect location not too far from town but away from the crowds. We had a full house of family with our 2 year old grandson. It was perfect for us!
Looks just like the pictures with a couple of thoughtful surprises in the kitchen when we arrived. Loved the location; hardly anyone on the beach during peak season.
This is a beautiful home located right on the beach. The home was very clean, everything was ready for our arrival. This was the most relaxing beach vacation I have ever been on. I couldn't have asked for a better location; we basically had the beach to ourselves. We will definitely be going back!
Great location, and really nice house. The house is far enough away from the crowds, but not Fort Morgan far away. We ate in most nights, but a short drive (4-5 miles) gets you to a lot of good restaurants. All in all, a relaxing week.
This is such a beautiful house. We had a wonderful time with the whole family. The upstairs bonus living room was great for playing games away from the downstairs room. The walk to the beach was very quick. Lovely home, we will definitely stay here again. The owner is wonderful too

About the host
Hosted by Lisa Ray
I am Phyllis Campbell the owner of By The Sea. My husband and I are from North Alabama and have had a beach get away for 30 plus years. We started on the Florida Coast then inched our way to the Alabama Gulf Coast with the purchase of our first property in Alabama in the eighties.
We love the privacy and convenience of west beach and fell in love with this home which we affectionately named “By The Sea”. We used the home for many years as our family's second home, also for family reunions as well as both our daughter's weddings.
Our daughter, Lisa Ray, lives locally and manages the rentals on our beach home.
Why they chose this property
By The Sea is located right on the Gulf of Mexico with beautiful white sandy beaches. Gulf Shores is a small town with a big beach and is very family friendly.

What makes this property unique
Our home offers the ideal location for small weddings, family reunions or just a relaxing vacation. The west beach area of Gulf Shores offers a large beach with the privacy and seclusion unlike the more heavily populated areas still just minutes away from everything.
