VACATION RENTALS
IN GULF SHORES AL
Gulf Shores, Alabama is a top vacation destination for families, friends, and couples. Surrounded by white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and plenty of recreation, there is a little something in this area for everyone to enjoy. If you’re planning a getaway to Alabama’s beautiful coastline, one of the most important decisions you’ll have to make is where you’re going to stay. Harris Vacations has a number of luxurious vacation rentals in Gulf Shores to accommodate your every need, as well as your budget.
Taste of the South, Taste of the Sea
The South has a long culinary tradition that sets it apart from the rest of the country—come here once and you’ll always have a hankering for our comfort foods! Combine that with the bounty of the Gulf, and you’ll discover a culinary culture that can’t be found anywhere else in the world.
Head down Gulf Shores Parkway towards the beach and you’ll see seafood restaurants all around you. Try the seafood southern-style with places like Shrimp Basket Gulf Shores and Mikee’s Seafood. Or try out DeSoto’s Seafood Kitchen or The Steamer Baked Oyster Bar. Whatever your choice, you’re going to experience the best seafood the Gulf can give you!
Gulf Shores: Aquatic Activities All Around!
If you’re more hands-on when it comes to your food, why not catch it yourself, and cook it in the fully stocked kitchen of your own vacation rental in Gulf Shores, AL? Select a spot on the dock and cast away. Or go for some deeper dwellers by chartering a fishing boat with crews like Alabama Fun Fishing Charters and Lost Key Charters.
Of course, the sea offers so much more to do than fish! Whether on the water, below the water, or above the water, there’s tons of ways to have fun. Rent a kayak at Cosson Watersports or Gulf Shores Paddlesports Rentals for a leisurely, self-guided cruise; or grab one of their larger or faster vehicles for the thrill of high-speed salty spray! Take a surf board and take the waves head-on. Get some scuba gear at Down Under Dive Shop and go boldly beneath the waves, or talk to the people at Pleasure Island Parasailing to rise above them!
Natural Marvels
We also have some beautiful hiking in Gulf Shores, with a surprising variety of landscapes. Gulf State Park boasts miles of gorgeous beaches. The Hugh S. Banyon Backcountry Trails let you witness yourself the phenomenal blending of land, water, and plant observable only in freshwater marshes.
And if you’ve never been to the South before, you might be amazed at the sheer variety of birds that live here. So many birds make their winter homes here, you may catch glimpses of species you’ve never heard of! If avians amaze you, make sure to try out the birding trails!
Your Seaside Paradise Dream
And as backdrop to all of this excitement is your lovely Gulf Shores rental, sitting stately near the beach where you can still smell the spray and hear the lull of the waves. People dream of living near the ocean; why not make that dream come true for you?
