Back in October, I shared with you that I had been on a weekend trip to Gulf Shores, AL.  What I didn’t share was where I stayed and how pretty it all was.  We’ve been waiting til now, the cold January winter, to share this post and giveaway!  A reader of mine, Glenda, has a condo in Gulf Shores and she offered it to me for a weekend stay and a friend and I went back in October.  It happened to be stormy weather that weekend, so we didn’t see the sunshine like most of these pictures show, but it’s a gorgeous place in Gulf Shores, called The Beach Club.  That’s a link to the main page and Glenda has a page for her condo, the Gulf Shores Beach Getaway.
The Beach Club is an exclusive beachfront property in the Fort Morgan peninsula of Gulf Shores. Â It’s down a highway and very secluded and out of the way of the main traffic areas, so you are in for a retreat feel. It has everything you would want in a resort, from restaurants, to family and children’s activities, to beautiful beaches and sitting by the pool.
The Beach Club was voted in the Top 10 for Family vacation resorts by Family Vacation Critic.
This pretty water tower alerts you that you are at the Beach Club.
It’s definitely a relaxing place to visit and stay. Â We loved the condo and the feel of the place, if only the weather was better for us. In the summer, I can see this place as bustling and energizing.
The entry drive to The Beach Club is beautiful and you can see the 2 towers in the distance.
The boardwalk out back of the condos take you down to the beach.
Inside Glenda’s condo, it is beautifully appointed with coastal furnishings and a homey feel. Â It’s very spacious and cozy.
Looking from the kitchen to the living room, they have done a great job with updating the space and making it feel welcoming.
Beach condos are fun to stay in and offer so much more than a hotel does. Â I always prefer a condo when I’m going to the beach.
The master suite has a nice view of the pool and balcony.
The pool is right outside the spacious balcony.
I can imagine how busy and fun this pool would be in the summer months.
The clubhouse is gorgeous too. There’s a restaurant inside, but we didn’t get a chance to eat there during our stay.
The back of the property is beautiful and is right on the gorgeous white sand beach.
Looks inviting, doesn’t it?
Glenda sent me several beautiful photos during summer season, when the resort is at its peak.
Kids activities and lots of fun things going on.
Of course, the beach is the big draw.
I can never get enough of this beautiful white sand beach on the Gulf Coast.
Sunsets are amazing on the beach.
We are doing a giveaway today for one fortunate person to win $200 giveaway off their weekend stay, booked through Glenda.  If a beach vacation is in your future, you may want to check out The Beach Club in Gulf Shores, AL.  It’s a beautiful  spot on the map and very family friendly.

I suffer from SAD during the winter months. A warm sunny beach getaway would do wonders. Thanks for the giveaway!
I have a senior in high school and one in college -both graduating in May. This Mama needs a vacay!
Thank you for the give-away! We homeschool our children and would love to relax and get-away over Spring Break!
I am desperately needing some R&R!
I need a beach getaway trip to celebrate our anniversary.
My husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary last year. Well, we never actually celebrated. It was a crazy year. It would be so nice to get away to Gulf Shores for a weekend. We’ve never visited there before, but it sounds like a great place to recharge and reconnect.
What a gorgeous place! I could really use a beach getaway with my husband of 11 years. We have a little boy, and haven’t had a vacation alone since. It would be great to get away as a couple again.
Thanks for the chance to win!

I’ve never been to Alabama, and this looks like a perfect way to remedy that! Thanks for the opportunity! The condo is super cute!
I am looking forward to seeing the beach again. It’s been two years since I have been. Both of our boys graduated high school this spring and life has been crazy! My husband and I could use a getaway to the Gulf Shores!
I’ve been wanting to go to the beach with my husband for ages but we don’t seem to make the time to get away so I’d love to win!
Who couldn’t use a beach getaway? I’ve never been to Gulf Shores and would love to go sometime. We have a lake home in Virginia so we tend to always vacation there….a week at the beach would be such a nice change!
Going here is on my bucket list because I have heard it is a beautiful place. I would love to have a chance to win this. It would be a perfect vacation this summer!
We live in New England and would love to go to a beach that is warm!

Would love to give this vacation to my oldest son and his 3 kids – they have never been able to afford a family vacation.
I’m in desperate need of a getaway because my daughter and her family have been living with my husband and I for two months while they renovate their newly purchased home. I love them dearly, but would enjoy some quiet time.
We love this area of the coast! Beautiful complex!
I would use a beach vacation for my daughter to rest & relax; she is in her first year of teaching 1st grade & is working a lot of hours for her students and their families.
I am a teacher, and have 3 children that are quickly growing into adults. I am increasingly aware that our time together will be more rare. I would love to spend a vacation with the whole family together, before two of them move out.
I’ve heard that this is a beautiful beach and would love to go there! Thanks for showcasing it and for giving us all the opportunity for a beach trip there…….inspiring and informative blog!
