Find Your Perfect Stay

From spacious beach houses to waterfront condos and cozy cottages, you’ll discover an array of magnificent places to stay on our shores. When you stay in an owner-managed accommodation, you book directly with the owner. This allows you to form a one-on-one connection with the owner, who can answer any questions you may have about the rental. These properties are also ideal for short stays as they typically don’t have a required length of stay like many other property types. All the listings on our site are owned and operated by licensed rental owners.

Owner-Managed Properties FAQs

Are there any pet-friendly lodging accommodations?

There are many places in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach that offer pet-friendly accommodations. Visit our pet-friendly vacations page to learn more.

Do owner-managed vacation rentals have age restrictions for booking?

Yes. Owner-managed properties follow the standard 25-and-older rule for the booking guest.

Does the person who booked need to check in personally?

Yes. The guest who meets the minimum age requirement must be present at check-in and stay throughout the visit. ID is usually verified upon arrival. If you're unsure, reach out to the owner for details on their specific policy.

Can a parent or adult guardian book and stay with underage guests?

Many owner-managed rentals will allow it, as long as the adult is 25+ and stays on-site. 

How old do you have to be to book a hotel?

The minimum age to book a hotel in Alabama is 18. However, each has its own policy, and many have a check-in age minimum of 21. We suggest checking with your desired hotel for specific information on age requirements.

Where can I find lodging deals?

Our team puts together up-to-date special offers & deals for your stay in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach. 

How can I get a room with a view?

Plenty of the lodging options here offer beach front properties, and many come with a view of the water. We suggest checking the “Gulf View” box under amenities when searching. This will not guarantee you will receive a room with a beach view, but it will show you all of the properties that offer rooms with Gulf views.

Where are the best areas to stay in Gulf Shores with children?

Choose your Gulf Shores condo based on your itinerary and make sure to research the surrounding area before deciding on your condo rental. It's hard to go wrong as Gulf Shores is very pedestrian friendly, with walkable access to the beach, shopping, dining options and more.

What condos are on the beach? What hotels are on the beach?

Alabama’s beaches offer an array of beachfront lodging options. Browse our accommodation listings to learn more about waterfront condos and hotels in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.
