The Hangout is approximately half a mile away!

*****

Nice place. Gulfsands was very attentive and responsive to some minor appliance issues. We had to use a store bought umbrella with his deck table and chairs. Higher bar deck chairs would have been nice given it was hard to see the beach over the rail. The parking pass was $40 for each vehicle not $30 as described. It was very walkable to everything and we enjoyed our stay. - (May 2026)

Lydia's review

We had a wonderful 4-night stay at OR 802 in Gulf Shores! The best part was the unbeatable location - right on the beach, just steps from the sand and surf. We slept great every night thanks to the comfortable beds and the condo's peaceful atmosphere. The space was clean, cool, and fully stocked with everything we needed to cook and enjoy family meals together. It truly felt like a home away from home. We highly recommend this condo and would absolutely stay here again! - (Jul 2025)

Justin's review

I couldn't have asked for more. Great house great location a perfect vacation. I would highly recommend using Jim as a host and this location. My family and I had an amazing experience and as I mentioned earlier couldn't have asked for anything other than the five star treatment we received. I am very thankful and look forward to future visits. - (Apr 2025)


*****

Excellent stay!

Very impressed with the level of communication and responsiveness with an issue that came up very soon after arrival. Totally knocked it out of the park! The view of and proximity to the beach is worth every penny. We are making plans to return soon! - (Jan 2024 - VRBO)


*****

Perfect stay on the beach!

he house was very nice and spacious. It's right on the beach which provides great views and convenient access. Our kids loved the 3rd floor bedroom! - (Aug 2020 - VRBO)

Great stay

Beautiful, spacious and everything we needed. Perfect placement on a beautiful beach. We were right next to two large condo's but the beach wasn't over crowded at all. Thanks to the Kelly's for a great place and for sharing it! - (Aug 2020 - VRBO)

Almost perfect

The property is great. Check in process is cumbersome. We enjoyed another property where a code was sent via text and we could use that code to open door. That way no extra stops to pick up or drop off keys, and as soon as housekeeping was done, we got the text. No extra time wasted. We e-mailed asking about kitchen pots/pans etc and were told "Standard" pots and pans- but this place was STOCKED OUT. That would be a great selling point. The only additions we would really like to have seen were beach towels provided (6-8 beach towels take up a lot of space when packing the car) and hair dryer. Again, just things we had in other condos which were super helpful. - (Jul 2020 - VRBO)

Family escape

First time staying directly on the beach. It was fantastic and so convenient. - (Jun 2020 - VRBO)


*****

Awesome townhouse right on the beach!

We loved the area right in front of the townhouse that seemed like our own little beach area for the kids to play. As we walked down to the water, there were less people than other areas also, though it is fairly close to more crowded areas. The layout of the townhouse was great for our family (one bedroom on the top floor), with everyone able to have their private area. For the most part it was clean, but not as clean as I would like. The bottom floor is awesome, but the rest of it really needs the floors replaced (currently old carpet). - (May 2020 - VRBO)


*****

Family getaway

We took 5 kids/2 adults and plenty of room. Plus being right on the beach is fantastic! - (May 2020 - VRBO)


*****

Very nice rental

This place was excellent. The place was clean, well stocked and close to the beach. When we wanted to go to the beach we were there in about 10 seconds. The kitchen was brand new and very nice. - (Feb 2020 - VRBO)


*****

Great place.

It was a little dated, but clean and handy. WE ran out of toilet paper, with none extra in the cabinets, but other than that it was great. - (Jun 2017 - Flipkey)


*****

A Week in Paradise! -

We had a wonderful week with our toes in the sand! We love Ocean Reef!!! (Be aware there are LOTS of steps at Ocean Reef, esp. in the front townhouses. My mother had some trouble with steps to the beach, parking lot and bedrooms/bathroom.) - (Oct 2016)
