CHANGE YOUR CURRENT SITUATION — PRIVATE WEST BEACH HOUSE WITH BEACH, POOL, LAGOON & PRIVATE PIER
Why choose between the beach, pool, fishing, and the water when you can have it all?
Welcome to Current Situation, a spacious, multilevel private vacation home in the sought-after West Beach area of Gulf Shores, Alabama. This unique family-friendly beach house gives you easy access to the Gulf of Mexico, a private beach, community pool, lagoon, private fishing pier, and incredible panoramic water views—all in one vacation.
Whether you’re planning a family beach vacation, a group getaway, a fishing trip, or simply want to relax and enjoy everything Gulf Shores has to offer, this home gives you the space, privacy, and location to make it happen.
PRIVATE BEACH • PRIVATE HOME • PRIVATE PARKING
This is a true single-family vacation home—not a condo. You have the entire home, private driveway, and private parking area with no shared living space at the property.
The home is located along West Beach Boulevard, just steps from beach access via the boardwalk. The beach in front of this small community is limited-access, meaning you won’t experience the crowds found at many public Gulf Shores beaches—even during the busy summer season.
You can enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the water, spend the afternoon on the beach, cool off in the pool, fish from the private pier, and return home to your own spacious retreat.
FOUR WAYS TO ENJOY THE WATER
BEACH: Just steps from the home with convenient boardwalk access.
POOL: Enjoy the private pool shared only by the small six-home complex.
LAGOON & PRIVATE PIER: The private pier is perfect for fishing, swimming, relaxing, or enjoying the lagoon. A kayak is provided for your family’s water adventures.
PANORAMIC VIEWS: Multiple decks and the incredible third-floor lookout bedroom provide breathtaking views of the Gulf and lagoon.
SPACIOUS 4-BEDROOM BEACH HOUSE
This large 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom multilevel home comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests and can accommodate up to 10 guests when children are included.

An elevator is available from the ground level to help make access easier for guests with mobility needs or anyone who simply doesn’t want to carry luggage and beach gear up the stairs.
CLOSE TO EVERYTHING GULF SHORES HAS TO OFFER
While the home feels peaceful and secluded, you’re still close to the action.
The Hangout and the heart of Gulf Shores are approximately 3 miles away, putting you close to restaurants, shopping, entertainment, nightlife, family attractions, and everything that makes Gulf Shores one of Alabama ’s favorite beach destinations.
Enjoy the best of both worlds: a quieter private beach retreat when you want to relax and easy access to the attractions when you’re ready to explore.

The kitchen was well-supplied. Very clean. Washer, dryer, elevator were all in good order. The owner was very pleasant and responsive. The location was great. Relaxing decks. Comfortable beds. Loved the outdoor shower. We had a great time. As anything close to the ocean does, the exterior of the house is beginning to show some wear. Salt air beats everything up...it's part of the ambiance.
We really enjoyed our stay at Bre’s place. Easy beach access, quiet, and Bre was a wonderful host. If in the area again, I would definitely stay at the west beach house.
The house was just perfect for a group of ladles to relax and enjoy the beach! The elevator was a plus for bringing in luggage! I can definitely recommend rhe house, location, etc. Bre was quick to respond!
This house was perfect for our family of seven adults. The walk to the beach is very short and the view from the upper deck is priceless. The description in the listing is accurate; everything you possibly need is there waiting for you.
Current Situation was perfect for our needs. Bre was responsive and despite a hiccup with the oven, the place was really nice. Easy check in and check out. The house is right across the street and up a boardwalk onto the beach.
We had a fabulous time in this house and the location was absolutely perfection! Communication with Bre was great and she was extremely responsive! I highly recommend for families looking for something at a reasonable price with great proximity to the beach! Thanks so much!

Family Vacation
This home definitely needs some TLC. Also needs a really good deep clean. But over all we enjoyed our stay. The location of the house to the beach is great. And there was plenty of room for us all.
My husband, daughter and her husband and 2 grandsons, one with his fiancé were in the house and there was plenty of room for us all. My husband uses a wheelchair and the elevator made our stay very easy with him. The beach access was great, just cross the road and you were there. Thank you Bre for allowing us to stay in your home. It made our Thanksgiving a special time.
We had a very nice stay. House is well appointed. Kitchen has all the need items. Deck on top level needs some attention, some rotting wood. Numerous lights out throughout the home, especially on the outside. Bre was very communicative. Our dog had a blast as did we.
This place was perfect for our group of 8 adults. The first floor has a living room, kitchen/dining area, bedroom with a queen bed, and a full bathroom. The 2nd floor has a bedroom with a king size bed, a bedroom with 2 full beds, and 2 full bathrooms. The 3rd floor is a bedroom with a queen size bed and a balcony looking out.
We enjoyed the location and space of this house. Pet friendly, in which we loved. Kitchen well equipped, plenty of towels and washcloths in bathrooms. Only negatives were loose boards on the main deck, doors sometimes hard to open and housekeeping could definitely improve. Windows dirty, hard to see through. Bathrooms need cleaned better and updated. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here.
Everything was great, the cleaning crew could do a lot better job. Lot of broken things that could use some attention. But overall my experience was good and the place was very nice. Thanks for letting us stay at your home.
This was a semi last minute booking due to a problem at another place. It was clean. It was comfortable with 10 people for an evening. Beds were comfortable. Communication with owners was excellent. We had to add another night because of flight issues and it was resolved quickly. One of the better places I’ve stayed through VRBO😁
This was the perfect location for our group of 9 to stay. Not only do You have a beautiful view of the ocean just across the street, but you can also enjoy the private fishing pier on the other side. There is a great place to store your beach and fishing equipment at the bottom of the stairs. And a plus was the additional beach chairs/toys that are provided. We have stayed in this area before, but we will definitely stay in this house again. Plenty of room for each family and a gorgeous view from the top floor bedroom.
Beach, pool and fishing dock were great! House was fine but needed some extra cleaning. Problem with one of the TVs that was not resolved but all in all we had a great time together at this home. Some of the pics were old and showed outdoor seating that was no longer there. Exterior is rough and could use some work. The pool was never crowed and we really enjoyed that too!
Great response from local house contacts. They were delightful and were immediately attentive to our needs, as was the house owner. Very close to beautiful clean beach with shells and lovely white sand. Bay on the other side of the development with a nice small pool and great dock.
About 3-4 miles from “downtown”.
Very nice dog park near a lovely pool and workout center. Met nice people and dogs there.
Check out Hazels Nook for wonderful local eatery. Good food, good service, good menus and breakfast and lunch bar. Fresh by order omelet bar.
We will go again.
Lovely time in Gulf Shores! House was great and the elevator really made bringing in luggage and groceries a breeze. Grandmother is in a wheelchair and she was able to go to each floor with ease. Wish the weather was warmer to enjoy the beach more but we got some great family time in around the pretty fireplace! Good times! Only negative is the 1st floor queen bed is uncomfortable and hard. House was lovely! Would love to come back in warmer months to enjoy the cute pool and dock! Good times! Thank you!

Concerns
There wasn’t any outside shower as advertised. There was something black in one of the glasses that looked like it could have been dried cigarette ashes.
Location was good, the biggest issue was the mold or musty smell was very strong throughout the house, also we couldn’t use the elevator

Great location - house repairs/cleanliness improvements needed
We loved the location of this house. Access to the beach was very convenient and the beach wasn't crowded at all here. Pool and dock were very nice as well. I would have expected the house to be in a better state of repair and cleanliness for the price. The house definitely needed some love - maintenance needed to decking, bathrooms, kitchen, beds - and the cleanliness wasn't to the standards I expected so I had to mop/clean after arriving. However, with regard to the cleanliness, I didn't see a note from the housekeeper until the end of our stay to call if cleanliness did not meet expectations. While I wouldn't expect to have to call for another cleaning, at least the offer was there had I seen it earlier.

Good beach access
Bathroom access was outside the bedroom for three of the four bedrooms, which was less than optimal. Hurricane shield outside second floor bedroom would not fully retract and banged loudly against the windows when the wind was high. Elevator came in handy at checkout, but did not know how to get to the first floor elevator room when we got there so couldn’t use it at check in. It was hidden in the toy closet outside. Would have appreciated better instructions for finding the ground floor elevator room. Nice to have two refrigerators. Need more than one deck chair and a safety gate on second floor deck. Also would’ve appreciated info on where the beach access boardwalk was located. It was very close to the cottage, but we had to find it(like the elevator). Pleasant stay overall.
The house has all the amenities. The elevator sold us because of bad backs and knees. I couldn’t tell you if the floors had been mopped before our visit, but our feet were filthy walking around the house. The garden tub looked as though it had never had bleach run through it to clean out the jets, but that didn’t matter because the knobs both fell off in our hands. The beds were awful. Uncomfortable and loose slats. The cheapest mattresses on the market. The downstairs tub had no faucet! The hole had been taped over where it had been. You could only shower in it.
It’s a good thing we could laugh about it all, because it was less than ideal and less than what we expected.
