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.

I have wanted to visit that area for some time. It would be a good spot to meet up with my daughter and relax.
I could use the recharge I always get from a vacation at the beach. Nature replenishes, and this is a beautiful place.
The Gulf Coast is one of my very favorite places. My husband and i have an anniversary coming up and a beach getaway would be just the right thing for us!!!
We just got approval to adopt our foster son. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate him “officially” becoming a Raynor than a week on the beach together.
A beach vacation would be a great end to my back surgery recovery!
Our 18th anniversary is coming up and we are definitely going somewhere!! The best husband In the world is officially cancer free after a year of radiation/chemo, our youngest (identical twin boys) are turning 18, we have 5 great kiddos & 5 grandkids between us though! Being from KY, we have never been further down than TN, so of course WE never set eyes on the Gulf of Mexico, have not had a vacation in many years due to husband being a workaholic before during and after the cancer, he deserves a vacation! And the hubby and I have NEVER been on vacation alone NEVER not once since our honeymoon, yeah no kidding!!!! We never win anything so fingers crossed 🙂
With one kid in college, and another in private high school we haven’t had money for a family vacation for the last six years. Our boys are growing up quickly, and the time to make memories with them is almost over. We would love a beach vacation!
Love Gulf Shores! Would love to take some girlfriends on a getaway! We all need it!!
It’s cold here in Kansas….I need to get away to a nice warm location!!
My husband and I could use this trip to de-stress from our move across country, packing up ama selling our house, looking for a new one and starting a new job. A nice, relaxing vacation world certainty do the trick. Thank you for offering this giveaway! ??
I would so love to feast my eyes on white sand instead of white snow! My husband and I would love to get away and relax and enjoy!
The Beach is my HAPPY PLACE! I love to relax and read and relax with my family there. There is nothing better!
I absolutely LOVE the beach, it’s my favorite place to be any day!!!!!!
I can never get enough of the beach. It would be great to take a beach trip in the winter to get away from the cold weather!!
So need a beach vacation. It has been a very long time.
I need the break!!!
I need to get away. Too much going on right now.
My in-laws are celebrating 35 years of wedded bliss this year! They are such a great example of a God-serving marriage and have blessed my husband & I in ways they’ll never understand. This year, we are surprising them with a trip to the beach to celebrate and as a small thank you. We’d love to visit Gulf Shores!
We have been super busy with school and work and a beach getaway would be the perfect way to take break and relax. What a beautiful condo! Kathy
I love the beach and haven’t been in years, but nothing more relaxing than laying on the beach with a good book! Susan 🙂
