OCEANFRONT Condo & Pool, WALKABLE Dining, BEST Location
Welcome to Castaways Condominiums—an updated, low-density 36-unit complex perfectly situated in the heart of Gulf Shores at 327 East Beach Blvd. Located directly on the beach, our third-floor condo offers incredible ocean views with the beach just a few steps beyond the pool.
We're only a quarter-mile from the main Gulf Shores intersection, meaning you’re within walking distance of restaurants, souvenir shops, and family-friendly favorites like *The Hangout*—known for its live music, outdoor dining, games, and entertainment. A short drive brings you to the zoo, amusement and water parks, OWA Theme Park, The Wharf, Gulf State Park, golf courses, deep sea fishing, movie theaters, and an outlet mall with over 100 stores.
Your private balcony will become your favorite spot—with a front-row seat to dolphins playing in the surf and sunsets over the Gulf. Whether sipping coffee or relaxing with a book, you’ll love the sound of the waves and the view of the pool below.
Inside, the open living area features a 55" Smart TV, DVD player, a sleeper sofa, and seating for gathering with family and friends. The fully equipped kitchen offers everything needed for home-cooked meals, along with a washer and dryer for added convenience.
The spacious master suite features two queen beds, an oceanfront window, 42" Smart TV, walk-in closet, private balcony access, and an updated bathroom. The second bedroom includes a king bed with a twin bunk above, a 32" Smart TV, and its own renovated bath. Each bedroom includes a private bathroom with a double vanity and generous storage.
Outside, enjoy the beachfront pool—partially shaded for comfort—plus sun loungers, shaded tables, and nearby charcoal grills. The beach offers rentals for chairs, umbrellas, kayaks, jet-skis, paddleboards, banana boats, and parasailing. The Alabama State Park is close by with a fishing pier and dining options, and across the street you'll find bike and scooter rentals.
For entertainment inside, each TV includes Netflix access. We’ve also stocked the unit with books, magazines, DVDs, and board games for your downtime.
BONUS: Parking is INCLUDED. We pay the $40 per pass (up to 2) to the condo association. We do not charge resort or administration fees.
