Stay beachfront and walk to the heart of Gulf Shores at Southern Sands 303, a spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, beach, and community pool.
**NEW ELEVATOR INSTALL Early November-Mid December 2026** No Elevator will be available during this install
Located on West Beach Boulevard just a few buildings from The Hangout and the center of Gulf Shores, Southern Sands offers one of the best combinations of beachfront access and walkability in town. Leave the car parked and walk to restaurants, ice cream, shopping, entertainment, and local favorites.
Southern Sands is a low-density beachfront complex with only 18 units, giving you easy beach access without the feel of a large high-rise resort.
Southern Sands 303 has received numerous interior improvements, including updates to both bathrooms in December 2025 and a refreshed living room featuring a solid wood plank accent wall and upgraded trim.
The condo features tile throughout the main living areas, comfortable carpet in the bedrooms, wood blinds, updated furnishings, granite kitchen countertops, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of room to relax after a day on the beach.
Step outside onto your private third-floor balcony and enjoy Gulf breezes and views overlooking the beach, Gulf of Mexico, and Southern Sands pool. A bar-height Polywood table, chairs, and Adirondack chair make this a great spot for morning coffee or an evening drink.
The kitchen is equipped for vacation meals and includes:
The living room includes a 50-inch Ultra HD Smart TV with DirecTV plus access to streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime using your own accounts.
The Queen sleeper sofa includes a gel-foam mattress for additional sleeping space.

Island Outfitters is directly across the street, with additional food and treats only about half a block away.

Alicia's review
Beautiful area and great location. I was traveling with four kiddos. I had a clear view of the pool from our balcony and the walk to the ocean was a quick few seconds. The pool was clean, the beach was beautiful. The condo was in good condition and wonderful for the price paid. A little outdated and furniture was pieced together and older but all in all was a wonderful stay. As a mom alone with four kids, we felt safe the whole time, everyone we ran into was more than friendly! Great high, highly recommended. Already planning to come back on a girls trip! - (Apr 2026)

Shavonne's review
This is a great place to stay! First impression was how clean the place was and how clean it smelled. The view of the ocean was great and there are several places to eat within walking distance. We loved Lauria's across the street. Be sure to check it out! We also liked that the facility is only 3 floors. There is shaded parking under the building available. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone & I already have! We would love to stay here again! Great place!! - (Jun 2025)

Perfect vacation
Condo was just as described. Comfortable beds, big enough condo for a family of five (3 boys 10-14yrs old). You can't get much closer to the beach too! Amazing view, clean and you can walk to gift shops, restaurant's and party stores. My only complaint has NOTHING to do with the condo or owners and hopefully won't happen on your trip, but every morning at 4:30am we were woke up by the revving of a garbage truck, its back up alarm and the loud sound of the neighboring buildings dumpster being pushed out of the building, dumped then pushed back into the building! So maybe bring some ear plugs or run a fan while you sleep. Again, I wouldn't let that stop me from renting again, just be prepared that's all. I'd 100% come back to this condo. - (Mar 2024 - VRBO)

Great condo
Location couldn't be better. Easy walk to beach. Elevators, carts and parking were great. The condo itself was nice, but was missing some basic kitchen items. Always bring everything you need and dont expect things like toilet paper, garbage bags, kitchen scissors, etc. Condo was nice enough, and no complaints. Just missing a little extra..
Hi Lance, many updates have taken place since you last stayed! We always provide start-up amenities like a roll of paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, and trash liners. We supply a things to remember to bring list with every reservation. Hope to see you back! - (Jul 2023 - VRBO)
