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.

My boss was diagnosed with aplastic anemia last year, had a bone marrow transplant in November and I have taken over his position. Stressful, to say the least. Thankfully he is doing really well and should return to work in March.
My husband and I have been dealing with some health issues since the 1st week of December. He is having a defibrillator and pacemaker placed February 11. We surely could use some time away after all of this. It’s a lovely place and so very kind of you to make this offer. The winner will be most fortunate!
Our life is – 2 small kids and a dog, both of us have a full time job, husband traveling to China for work (5 2week+ trips in 5 months!!!)…we need some stress reduction!!!! 😉
It looks beautiful
I need it because I’ve been taking care of my 91 year old grandmother and I so need a vacation!
My mom passed away on Dec. 27th after a long battle with Alzheimers.
The beach is my happy place!!! I could use some happy right now!!!
We took our kids to the Outer Banks for their first beach experience last summer and they loved it! It would be neat to let them play in calmer waters, though, without all the really strong riptides. Great giveaway!
There is NO better place to relax than the white sands beaches of the Gulf. AUGH! I can’t remember the last time I saw the beach… CALGON!! Take me AWAY!!!!!
We need a beach vacation because we haven’t taken one as a family in over 11 years! My kids are growing up fast and there aren’t many opportunities left!
My husband and I need a beach vacation because we have three rambunctious boys and our anniversary is in a few weeks. We need a break from everyday life to reconnect with each other.
A beach vacation getaway would be wonderful because our last trip to the beach in December was to mourn the passing of my sweet brother-in-law. It would be nice to go again and just breathe.
The white sand of the gulf coast beaches are my dream vacation- I’ve only managed
to go a few times in my life. These pictures beckon me…
I would love a beach vacation to meet up with my mom and sister who live in other states. I can just imagine us hanging out by the pool and taking walks along the beach reconnecting.
I would love a beach getaway, after -35 windchill living in MN, beach and sun oh so terrific. Plus my family as never been on a beach vacation. It would be wonderful!!
I love Gulf Shores & would love a little getaway with my husband!
Would love to take my family of 5 on Spring Break! Very cold here in Iowa!!!
Would love to be able to spend a week at this gorgeous place with our family for a much needed getaway from the hustle and bustle of school, kid activities, and work. Thank you for sharing such beautiful places with us! 🙂
seeing as we’re about to get 30 inches of snow in dc I’d say i definitely could use this
I recently underwent surgery for breast cancer and a trip to Gulf Shores would be wonderful therapy in my recovery. Have always wanted to visit the Gulf.
Mainly because there is 12 inches of snow at my house today and more to come in the next week. ?
