You'll find running, walking and biking lanes right along West Beach Blvd, with top restaurants, The Hangout, Gulf State Park and more just minutes away.

*** GUEST ACCESS ***
Laguna Sands is a small, friendly community of 8 townhomes (each one side of a duplex) surrounding a central shared pool, hot tub and kiddie pool, shared with the other 7 townhomes.

*** GOOD TO KNOW ***
• This is a shared duplex: you'll share the front porch with your neighbor, the upstairs balcony is divided by a privacy wall, and the ground-level grilling area (two grills + seating) is shared.
• The home has multiple staircases. The stairs create the wonderful lagoon and gulf views but may be challenging for guests with mobility limitations. One bedroom is on the main level with the kitchen and dining area; the other bedrooms are upstairs.

Spring Break Bliss

All our teens and adults had a wonderful time staying on the Lagoon. The dock was amazing and we got to see two beautiful sunsets. We were in the pool everyday! The house was well stocked with everything we needed. We grilled out,enjoyed ping-pong, went to the beach and use the cart and chairs. Loved our stay!!! Hope to be back.

Property was adequate...with the exception of the bed bug infestation. While I'm confident that the hosts will have this rectified quickly, it did require that our trip be cut short at this property and needed to find alternative accomodations. The hosts did offer another property; however, not at the size we needed.

The location is great. Walk to beach or drive. Ample parking for $15 at 13th St public beach and a few free spots across from 12th St public beach. The bedrooms are huge and they definitely thought of everything. Very well equipped. Beach towels are upstairs above washer and the wagon in the storage room came in handy.

Our entire experience at this property was exceptional. The home is spacious and well-maintained. There were plenty of comfortable sleeping arrangements to meet our needs as a big family. The home contains all the little things you’d need to throw together a meal or take a quick jaunt to the beach. The multiple outdoor spaces give flexibility for group gathering or some quiet time with a book or cup of coffee. The pool is a perfect size and located just steps from the home. The pier out to the lagoon is huge and allows plenty of room for fishing, docking or just taking in the landscape. The beach is so convenient to walk to or ride a bike to. As advertised, the home is very pet-friendly. They have leashes and bowls available and the space itself just feels welcoming for dogs (and busy kids, too). This was our first trip to Gulf Shores. I was initially dismayed by how busy and touristy it felt driving in. How, this home is in a perfect location; you can readily enjoy the amenities of a touristy destination (stores, restaurants, putt-putt…), but you still feel like you are tucked away from that busy-ness in a quiet oasis. The hosts are prompt, thoughtful and helpful communicators. I was happy that our first VRBO rental was via hosts who were thorough and accommodating. We were very, very happy with our experience. I would recommend this specific property to anyone heading to the Gulf Shores.

Coffee bar starts the day or ends the day just right.

Our accommodations was decorated very nice and contained many helpful amenities. The coffee bar was a wonderful start to a day with an encouraging sit on the deck or at the covered dock. The living space and bedrooms were comfortable and the number of bathrooms made it helpful to handle 7 adults and 3 small children at once, especially having a full size bath tub. after long days adventures at the waters. All the beds slept well. The only draw back was a cat-like smell in two of the upstairs closets. We used a strong peppermint and eucalyptus soap, hanging in the closet, in an attempt to defuse the smell and simply avoided use of the one next to laundry area bedroom #4. Perhaps a vinegar treatment may eliminate this odor for future guests to more fully enjoy thier visit. Thank you to owners for providing a nice stay and making recommendation on plaves

Great House, Great Location, Needs a Little Cleaning

We enjoyed every moment of our stay. Here are our pros: The home is beautiful and spacious, fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms and plenty of paltes, utensils, pots, and pans. The hosts are very attentive. There is ample parking. The AC was wonderfully cool. The washer and dryer work well. There were plenty of towels, ample dishwashing liquid and dishwasher tabs, and washing machine pods. The pool is a beautiful area with numerous families coming together for fun. The walk to the dock is amazing, and the view is breathtaking! Here are our cons: The entire home could've used a little more cleaning. The floors had rugs all over the house that were a trip hazard and could use a good cleaning well. The floors in the entire house needed a good sweeping, vacuuming, and dusting. There was hair and sand everywhere. The sheets were clean but it seems someone had washed them with color towels that stained them. I spoke to the Homeowners about the good and the bad. She told me she would speak to the housekeepers! Overall the house is amazing and I would definitely rent it again.

Plenty of Beds and Bathrooms for our Family of 12 in a quiet neighborhood. The Kids enjoyed the private Pool and Hot Tub. A 10 minute walk to the Beach was quick and easy. Tara, the owner, was awesome with communication about Check-In, Check-Out, local Restaurants and Shopping. We decided to stay an extra night and Tara made the process very simple.

When it’s Perfect with imperfections

To make this topic make sense I’ll explain. The home was exactly what you see on the website. Beautiful home. The fishing pier was just a little walk down along with the boat dock. The pool wasn’t sanitary. Now that’s not the homeowners fault that guest doesn’t shower and remove whatever is in their skin. Now… I only gave 4 stars ⭐️ for cleanliness because the floor wasn’t clean in the kitchen area, the tub in the master suite on the first floor, dining room, & 1/2 bath which is in the dining room reeked with a urine aroma.. Now that’s an easy fix. You don’t expect others to be as clean as you would be. We still cleaned and disinfected the unit without calling the owners it’s vacation time for us. I’m telling you all of this so you’ll be kind in your scoring. Don’t sweat the small things. Just do what need to be done to suit your lifestyle. However, I did notify the owner concerning the a/c it was hotter than…….. you can fill in the blank… She was very sympathetic and reassured me that it would be fixed. I’m not certain if this was why maintenance was working in the home prior to check in or not. I would definitely stay again. Go enjoy yourselves life is very short. Make everlasting memories and remember these homeowners don’t have to be kind hearted and allow you nor I to rent their homes to vacation with our Family and friends. Make the best out things. Peace, love & happiness.
