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.

It’s so cold here now. We need some sun and R&R!,p
What a lovely resort!! The breathtaking beauty of the turquoise sea and the white sand under your feet is the ultimate place to relax and enjoy Gods creation ? . Have heard sooo much about Gulf Shores and would love to have an opportunity to see it for myself.
We have 6 kids with a wide variety of ages. Our littlest boy has never seen the ocean. I would love to take our whole family there.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the chance to visit a new destination (even if it is just through your beautiful photos!)
Who wouldn’t want to be at the beach this time of year!!! Beautiful resort
After no vacation last summer because of job loss and my husband having a heart attack last Saturday ( He’s fine thank God). I really would love a break from the craziness of life.
A beach getaway is always the best! Thanks!!
Who doesn’t need a beach vacation after the holidays;-P I have never heard of this resort. It looks beautiful.Thanks for the opportunity.
I could use a getaway!
My mom lives with us and is requiring more of my time. A beach break would be lovely !!
I would SO LOVE to win this weekend getaway giveaway, because my husband and I haven’t had a vacation since 2012. We’ve both had several medical issues that ate up any extra money that might have been put toward a vacation. Thanks for the opportunity!
Since being retired, my husband and I have totally gotten into a rut. This resort sounds just like what the doctor ordered to get a fresh start on our golden years. The resort is beautiful and I can smell the ocean air from here. This would make the perfect getaway!!
I would love to have a beach getaway with my husband, and we love that whole area! Thank you for the giveaway!
Ahhhhh! Is what these pictures make me want to say. I would love to surprise my family with this get away. Soon our son and will be graduating from college and we could spend some time together before he starts his own life.
This is just what I need to get away from this cold weather in Atlanta. It might be cold at the beach but it’s always beautiful.

This is beautiful . To get away from the cold and treat my husband with a retirement surprise. Thanks for the giveaway.
My family stayed in Gulf Shores many years ago and it was the prettiest beach we have ever seen. I would love to take my girls back for a mini-family reunion after my youngest graduates from college in May!
What a lovely place! It’s terribly cold here today (7 degrees!!), so a beach getaway sounds fantastic!
I don’t need a beach getaway but, my daughter and future son-in-law will. they are getting married in May and as of today don’t have a honeymoon planned. So If I were to win I would give the gift to them.
The Beach Club looks looks like a great place for a get away! This would be perfect for an all girls weekend with family. Thanks for doing this!
I absolutely love Gulf Shores and it’s beautiful white sand beaches. My husband and I both have BIG birthdays coming up this year and a celebration on the beach would be absolutely the perfect way to go!
