Sonny Side~Beach Front~Private Heated Pool
Sonny Side sits right on the Gulf of Mexico with nothing but big, open views of water and sky — exactly what a beach getaway should be. This home features a private, gulf-front pool where you can relax by the water and still feel like you're on the beach, even when you're not on the sand. More than just a beach house, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath home is set up for comfort and good times. You’ve got a roomy living area, modern furnishings, and an easy, breezy coastal vibe throughout. Two of the bedrooms open directly onto the gulf-side deck — step outside and soak in that salty air whenever you feel like it. Every bedroom has its own wall-mounted TV, and the living room features a big flat screen for movie nights or lazy afternoons. The home sits on the Gulf— more privacy, fewer people, and a beach that feels like it is all yours. These spots are hard to come by and they don’t stay available long. And of course, like all of our Alabama Stays Vacation Rentals, you'll have linens and towels ready to go, Wi-Fi, and a fully stocked kitchen (minus the groceries). We also include a starter set of paper goods and trash bags — just plan to bring a few extras for the rest of your stay. Sonny Side is everything a beach house should be: laid-back, comfortable, and right where you want to be. A security deposit and rental agreement are required with this property as well as a cleaning fee. The security deposit will be a pre-authorization placed on your credit card that you will provide when filling out the rental agreement.

We had a lovely stay at Sonny Side! The pool, Gulf views and direct access to the beach couldn’t be beat! The house was clean and had everything we needed for 7 people to stay comfortably. The host, Jennifer, was friendly and quick to respond to communication. She had excellent suggestions for grocery shopping and even a fishing charter trip. Highly recommend and would stay here again!

Sonny Side is a lovely home with a private heated pool and a beautiful view of both sunrises and sunsets over the Gulf (especially nearing the winter solstice). Jennifer as host was very helpful but not intrusive —just fabulous.

This house was perfect for our family. We love the location, layout of the house, covered deck, heated pool, and steps from the ocean. We really appreciated being able to bring our dog and the gate on the deck allowed us to enjoy time outside while keeping her safe. We loved watching our kids play in the sand while sitting in the tall deck chairs, our dog happily smelling the sea air next to us. Absolutely lovely. We hope to stay here again in the future!

Sonny Side Beach House was just a dream! From the panoramic views and private beach access to the heated pool and many seating options on the enormous deck. This private oasis did not disappoint. Bonus surprises were a couple of folding beach chairs, sand toys, floaties, boogie boards, and many provided beach towels so you don't have to bring those items in case you were wondering. We came with friends, but this would be very kid friendly. Absolutely loved it here! Would be thrilled to be able to come back to this rental in the future.
