Families | 2Min Walk to Beach | BeachGear | 2Pools- Best Location on West Beach!

You’re Googling “Gulf Shores with kids” at midnight, aren’t you?

Deep breath. I’ve got you.

You walk in, set your bags down, and the beach gear is already in the closet. The kitchen has what you need for that 6:42 AM breakfast request. The pool is right outside. The beach is a 2-minute walk across West Beach Blvd at the 6th Street intersection.

You don’t need to unpack everything to start relaxing.

———

LOCATION

About a 2-minute walk to beach access (we’ve timed it)
Restaurants, coffee, and ice cream within walking distance
Grocery and convenience stores a short drive away
Quiet complex in a tourist area—guests keep mentioning how peaceful it is

If someone forgets a toy, needs the bathroom, or hits meltdown mode—you’re back inside in minutes. No loading up the car. No repacking.

———

WHAT GUESTS KEEP SAYING

“Precisely as described, and the host was incredibly helpful” — Kionna
“Everything was exactly like the pictures” — Rachel
“Check-in process was super easy” — Carrianne
“Felt safe even with 4 kids” — Lacey
“Quiet and peaceful—not something I was expecting” — Anna
“Had everything we needed—even an extra toothbrush” — Heather

WHAT MAKES STAYING HERE EASIER

You’re probably wondering:

Is it actually close to the beach?
Yes. About a 2-minute walk. We’ve timed it.

Do I need to pack beach gear?
Nope. Wagon, 4 chairs, toys and boards are already here.

What about early breakfasts and late-night snacks?
Full kitchen. Go for it.

Will the host actually respond?
Yes. I answer quickly—usually within an hour, often faster.

What if I forget something?
You’d be surprised what’s already here. One guest found the extra toothbrush her kid needed. Starter supplies cover the basics—shampoo, dish soap, K-Cups, paper towels, garbage bags, and laundry packs.
(These cover the first day or two. Grab extras for longer stays.)

I set this place up for families who want less logistics and more actual vacation.

Ceiling fan

Second Bedroom

This property was wonderful. I would stay here again. Alicia was great, answered questions promptly. The price was way under what we would have paid The HOA SUCKED. Charged 200 dollars a day for a 7 lb puppy. Yes that’s 1400 dollars for the stay. Paid 700 told them if they wanted additional 700 sue me. True Karen’s

Wonderful location and beautiful condo!

We absolutely loved our stay at Lani Kai! The condo had everything we needed and Alicia (our host) was so perfect to work with! The location was amazing….right across the street from the beach. Alicia provided beach chairs and a beach buggy to use….it was everything we needed. We will definitely stay there again!! Thank you Alicia!

A hidden Gem

Alicia made this a five star vacation for us. The kitchen was fully equiped, we had lots of towels and blankets and she was very quick to resolve any issues. The living room remote was not functioning and the next day they brought in a new tv and remote. Could not ask for better. We will be back.

Excellent and beautiful

We were very pleases with all communications with Alicia and the promptness of return phone calls, texts etc. The property and all the accommodations were great - lacking for nothing! Beautiful area with lots to do. The weather could have been better but we had family and friends in the area and we made do. All the pictures we saw on line were exactly what the property looked like. Alicia was very helpful during our stay...made us feel like family! We had a chance to actually meet cleaning staff who were also very friendly and easy to talk to. Will definetly go back!!!!!

Just Precious!

Our stay was outstanding! This condo is just precious and is exactly as listed. We had everything we needed. I loved the little coffee bar and the fact that I found an oscillating fan in the master bedroom closet. I can’t sleep without the white noise. The beds are very comfy, and I slept peacefully through the night. I would definitely rent this condo again. As an added bonus, Alicia, our host, was amazing and made sure to check in on us.

We stayed during a baseball tournament and appreciated the easy access, the washer/dryer, and the ability to stay for our preferred time (4 days — not a whole week). Alicia was incredibly responsive when we had questions. Thank you!

Best spot in Gulf shores

This was our second time staying in this unit but first with Alicia hosting. She surpassed our expectations and were truly a joy to work with. Everything we could’ve needed was taken care of and was very prompt in their replies. The condo location can’t be beat (this is our third time at Lana Kai). You’re a short walk from the beach, directly on the lagoon and right next to 6th street which allows you to beat the traffic of the main road. The condo is stocked with everything you need for the beach and has so many different kitchen appliances for you to choose from that makes cooking a breeze. We loved our time here and will be returning soon.
