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 need a beach vacation to celebrate my 25th anniversary… My husband and I went to the beach for our honeymoon, and we’re long overdue for a second honeymoon! Love your blog
We like Gulf Shores and would love to visit there again. Great giveaway!! Thanks Rhoda and Glenda!
We went to a wedding at the Beach Club last year and would love another opportunity so go back. So relaxing and beautiful!
No one warns you about this phase of life: a son going off to college, both sets of parents being sick and all your established routines being changed. It is different and challenging, but we are embracing it. I would so love to have some time away with my husband and boys to reconnect and relax.
What a blessing it would be to be able to go to the beach for a ‘much-needed break’! Thanks so much!
I could really use a getaway! My three kids keep me running all week to tennis, to theatre, to basketball, to voice lessons, to saxophone lesson, to Symphony, to dance team and on and on! I am a Gulf Coast girl from NOLA who loves Destin & Panama City. I have not been to Gulf Shores in over 20 years! Would love to check it out! Thanks.
Who doesn’t need a beach getaway? 😉 My husband & I love to escape to the beaches of AL & FL as often as we can. It is the most relaxing, fun and stress-free time! We love searching for seashells, watching the waves, and just digging our toes into the sand. It’s pure heaven for us!
We spend a lot of time here throughout the year on both business and pleasure and love the beach — this would be an ideal getaway!
It looks so wonderful. These Midwest winters are so harsh, a beach vacation sounds really good right about now. I’ve heard that part of Alabama is beautiful, so nice to see it in pictures!
Hi, would love to get away from it all with hubby from our normal routine.
The beach is my happy place! That white sand and beautiful water are calling my name!
WE need a weekend getaway in the worst way
Would be nice to have stress free moment away just to relax…..
I grew up near Gulf Shores, and I love it! I now live in a different state, but love to get back. I’d love to take my parents there again. My dad has been battling health problems since the holidays and would love a weekend beach getaway!
I’ve never been to Alabama and hear it’s gorgeous. Would love to see it and get out of the New England cold for a weekend. Thank you!!
Love your blog. The beach is my favorite vacation spot. Nothing relaxes me like beautiful water views.
Would love to visit Gulf Shores. I have a dear friend that lives in Fairhope and I have not seen her I quite some time (I live in California). This would be the perfect Spring break and opportunity to visit my friend! Thanks, Rhoda 🙂
My last vacation was on my birthday three and a half years ago. I am so ready to go to the beach!
I was so happy to see this post. My husband and I went to the Beach Club for our honeymoon 10 years ago. It is a magical place. We were there in December and felt like we had to whole place to ourselves. The Blue Angels were practicing one day and we had a private show from our balcony. Sure would love to go back.
I would love to take my family to this beautiful place for a getaway. We have never taken a family vacation together and this would be a great opportunity for my children and grandchildren and I to enjoy some relaxing family time together 🙂
