🥳 2026 Going fast! 😎 The Pearl. 20BR. Beachfront. Heatable Pool! ELEVATORS!

The Pearl, East & West Units (Together)
1037 West Beach Blvd, Gulf Shores, Alabama

20BR 19BA. Yes 20 bedrooms! Big, beautiful, duplex vacation home. Pool. Elevator. Lots of everything! Accommodates 56 in both sides!

The Pearl is a really awesome beachfront duplex vacation home in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Is the Pearl on West Beach a big vacation home!? You know it! Is it fabulous? You bet! Should it be your next favorite place to stay in Gulf Shores? Absolutely! (If you act soon enough to get it... it goes away quickly every year!).

New Virtual Tours of both sides of Pearl, plus the two sides in one big tour! The tours are the latest greatest! HDR photo updates to follow. Nice place!

This listing is for Pearl's East & West sides together, as one great big 20BR 'house' but... better than a house since you get two of all the common spaces: two kitchens, living areas and so much more!

This combined listing gets you both sides of Pearl in one easy reservation — 20 BR and 19 BA total, joined by a hotel-style secure connecting door between the East and West sides. Only need one side? Check out Pearl East (10BR) or Pearl West (10BR) individually.

REVIEWS? Absolutely! This 5 star place has been on VRBO for a while as the separate sides (VRBO links at end of description). Lots of love. Check them out!

How big? 10 Bedrooms big PER SIDE. Sleeps 28 EACH SIDE!

That's big! In 8 kings and 4 sets of full-single combo bunk beds (a full bed underneath a single!). King beds. Big! And none of that sleeper sofa stuff to make it 28. Its 28 in beds, not pullouts. And, no, there are no sleeper sofas anywhere at The Pearl. Need to sleep more than 28? Take both sides of this huge duplex, and 56 people can stay comfortably, and in style! Or check into our other really big vacation houses, because we surely have the perfect size for you!

Main Floor Bedroom: King with private en suite bath
3rd Floor N Bedroom: King with private en suite bath
3rd Floor N Middle Bedroom: Two Twin over Full Bunks with bath off hall
3rd Floor S Middle Bedroom: King with private en suite bath
3rd Floor S Bedroom: King with private en suite bath
4th Floor N Bedroom: King with private en suite bath
4th Floor N Middle Bedroom: Two Twin over Full Bunks w/ bath accessible from hallway (shared with Middle King)
4th Floor Middle Bedroom: King w/ bath accessible from hallway (shared with N Middle Bunks)
4th Floor S Middle Bedroom: King with private en suite bath
4th Floor S Bedroom: King with private en suite bath

Phew! That's a lot of beds... per side!

Huge living room...big! A bonus living room/lounge area on the third floor, with its own wet bar.

TWO OR MORE OF MOST APPLIANCES PER SIDE!
TWO of the essentials on EACH side! BIG. With not one but two refrigerators. And, not one but two dishwashers too! Because when you are big: eat, drink, wash, repeat! It's better with two! Need ice? It's got icemakers, and not just on the two fridges! Clothes, swimsuits, towels? Of course it has a really big washer and dryer! In fact, one set per floor! Seriously.

ELEVATOR!
How about accessibility? Elevators! One per side. Hoofing it up three floors can be hard. Why not an elevator?! Yes, the Pearl on West Beach has one of those too! And bathroom tweaks too. The bath on the main level has a floor roll in capable shower, just in case!

POOL? You bet!
Of course! Huge pool for the sole use of the duplex. Big. Great place to lounge, or head under the home for a break from the heat, or on one of the many decks! All.. BIG! AND its heatable. Really big. In the vicinity of 14'x35′ big. Wow! Deck? Yup, covered and uncovered. We literally have you covered, when it comes to a deck! And its private to the two sides of our duplex, not shared with anyone else in the area! Heatable too! Added a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82-84' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a nightly surcharge that varies by season and is per night for length of stay (the 12 month range has been $65-85 depending on season) gas is expensive right now, this does not actually recoup the cost!). Simply request the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and any time up to at least a few days before check in so we can get it on before you arrive. See our FAQ about heatable pools too. The pool is beachside, in the sun, with an expansive deck area around it, PLUS a nice shaded and sheltered area to escape the heat, right under the home. Nice!

BEACHFRONT? Absolutely.
The Pearl on West Beach, is RIGHT on the beach. Nothing but sand between you, your guests, and the water (well, sand, and the pool!).

WIFI/INTERNET
YES! We have an awesome Eero mesh network to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home!? That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like? It is generally rock solid and ran > 250Mb down the last test--sufficient for several simultaneous video conference sessions for remote work and education. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests "troubleshooting" it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though, and likely better since its close in and new construction!

PARKING? Of course! All off street
You can park 8-10 full size vehicles in front of the Pearl.

SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, ETC ETC
As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a "starter supply" of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, GRILLS are not provided unless specifically listed, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have both a drip coffee maker and a Keurig as well.

Come Stay with us at the The Pearl on West Beach at 1037 West Beach Boulevard, Gulf Shores Alabama!

Amazing!!!

Pearl was a truly amazing place. We expected, based on reviews, that it would be fantastic, but the pictures and reviews don't do it justice. It has absolutely everything we could ask for, and more! Loved the little kitchenettes/wet bars on each floor, and having washers and dryers on each level too! Loved loved loved our stay! Hope to be able to come back again some day.

Labor Day Vacay

We rented both sides of the Pearl so we would have 20 bedrooms for our really big family gathering for Labor Day. It was PERFECT. Lots of room for everyone, and plenty of space to spread out too when needed. We LOVED the pool and beach too. Thank you all so much for sharing your home with us! You have a truly beautiful place in a beautiful location!

Awesome place!!!

We had a fantastic time at Pearl. We had plenty of room in the 20 bedrooms across the two sides. Having the elevators was a big help, and we loved having TWO huge living rooms and kitchen areas by taking both sides. The pool was the best. We WILL be back. Thank you so much for having us!

The house is in a great location with plenty of room for our group of 24 adults. Only complaints would be the carpet in the bedrooms are very stained. Carpets need to be removed and replaced with some other type of flooring. The refrigerators need to be replaced due to broken shelving.
