Plantation Palms #6205
Located at Gulf Shores Plantation Resort, this 1BR (+1 hall bunk bed) condo is steps to the beach and includes access to resort amenities including pools, hot tubs, and tennis courts. Dine alfresco and enjoy sunsets on a private balcony.
INSIDE THE CONDO
Enter the main building and take the elevator in the hallway up to your 2nd floor unit.
Gleaming white-tiled floors feature throughout the condo, and high ceilings lend a sense of spaciousness.
The primary bedroom features a queen bed, 32” TV, and access to a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The wicker headboard and side tables add a classic Gulf Shores vibe.
Kids will love clambering into the twin-over-twin hallway bunk alcove, surrounded by cute porthole artwork and shiplap-style walls.
This hallway sleeping area is directly opposite the bathroom and next to a stackable washer/dryer.
Fresh and contemporary, the open living space has a chill coastal vibe.
A full kitchen features granite countertops and new, all-white appliances that include an electric stove/oven, microwave, blender, and coffee maker -- everything necessary for whipping up food and drinks.
There’s seating for four at the breakfast bar, and a glass-top dining table also seats four.
In the sitting area, you can curl up on a queen-size sleeper sofa or armchair. Watch shows on the 42” TV, equipped with cable and a Blu-ray player.
Your Gulf-facing balcony overlooks the resort’s landscaped grounds with a golden ribbon of beach just beyond. Seating areas and one of numerous tennis courts and pools sprawl before you.
Enjoy meals at a four-seat patio table or soak up sunsets while perched at a small two-seat pub table.
LOCATION
A stay at the Gulf Shores Plantation community provides access to resort-style amenities, including several swimming pools—indoor and outdoor—a hot tub, a clubhouse with exercise facilities, and a sauna. You’re also just steps away from the beach when you’re ready to feel sand between your toes.
Golf lovers will appreciate the world-class Kiva Dunes course next door, and history buffs are only a 15-minute drive to Fort Morgan, an important Civil War site near the marina with boat launch. Even closer is the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge with quiet coastal hikes.
In the mood to dine out? You’ll find several restaurants on the peninsula, or you can head into town for grouper tacos at the Beach House or alligator bites at Bahama Bob’s.
The great view from your private balcony will ensure you’re home in time for sunset.

About the area
Gulf Shores, Alabama, is a charming coastal city that offers a harmonious mix of natural splendor, outdoor pursuits, and cultural experiences. Its beaches, with their light tan sand that's as soft and clean as any you'll find, provide an idyllic backdrop for sunbathing, swimming, and beachcombing. The crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico are excellent for boating, fishing, and water sports like jet skiing and parasailing.
The city is also home to several nature reserves and wildlife habitats. The Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge serves as a sanctuary for various bird species and sea turtles. Here you can hike along picturesque trails that meander through dunes, wetlands, and maritime forests. Gulf State Park not only offers opportunities for camping, picnicking, biking on its extensive trail system but also houses a nature center focused on coastal ecology and wildlife.
For those intrigued by history and culture, Fort Morgan Historic Site provides insight into the region's military history with its well-preserved Civil War-era fort. While not directly in Gulf Shores but in the neighboring city of Orange Beach lies The Wharf - a popular shopping destination with an array of boutiques and restaurants. It also hosts regular concerts at its amphitheater.
Seafood aficionados will find themselves in paradise in Gulf Shores. The city's eateries serve up fresh catches from the Gulf daily - shrimp, oysters, crab - prepared in traditional Southern styles or innovative culinary creations.
For family fun beyond the beachfront activities there's Waterville USA/Escape House which offers both water park thrills as well as amusement park rides.
In summary, Gulf Shores beautifully marries tranquil natural beauty with a plethora of recreational activities making it an attractive destination for families seeking beachside relaxation or outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore unique ecosystems while basking in warm southern hospitality.
