Sun Kissed East is located in the family friendly neighborhood of Surfside. You'll have easy access to world class restaurants and great shopping if you choose to make the scenic 15-minute drive to town. But you'll find tasty options close by should you choose to stay close to home.

You'll want to spend as much time as possible on the new, expansive 10'x30' deck. The owners have also invested in desirable poly-wood deck furniture, so you'll have ample, comfortable seating. Be sure and catch the sunset each evening. One is more spectacular than the last! If you've never stayed in a beachfront property, you'll appreciate the convenience of being able to return to the house in just seconds. And no packing up the car to drive to the beach!

It has an open floor plan with a comfortable living area where you get that million-dollar beach view! You'll find counter stools for dining and a full kitchen for preparing simple meals.

The master bedroom features a king bed w/ private 1/2 bath where you can wake up to that beautiful Gulf view. The second bedroom has a full bed and a twin over twin bunk and the home has 1 full hall bath and 1 half bath in the King room.

It just doesn't get any better! Great views and just steps to the surf. Need more room? Sun Kissed West, right next door is also a rental option.

Be sure and visit nearby Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge with over 7,000 acres of coastal habit. You'll be able to hike through the preserve and observe local flora and fauna. There are 4 trails, varying in size and terrain and you'll definitely want to make time to visit this natural oasis.

We loved this location so much our first time, we came for a second stay. We had beautiful weather, we were directly on the private beach, and it is a quiet neighborhood. Ideal for a quiet getaway with our family. The kitchen was a little small for our growing family, but we knew this going in. We brought most of our things to cook most meals, but could have used simple things like cooking spray or aluminum foil which we forgot, and a few more sets of cutlery. There were spices available and plenty of utensils to cook with. The hosts are very helpful and extremely responsive, with restaurant recommendations and anything else you may need. Recommend this property!

The nicest thing about this house, it’s literally 8 wooden steps until your feet touch the sand. Inside was nice could use a few updates. Starting with the Master bedroom mattress and brighter bathroom lighting. We enjoyed our stay. We will return!ThanQ J

We love this property because it is right on the beach. It has been updated and looked much better than last time we stayed.it would be nice if the sliding doors had screens so you could leave the doors open. Also it needs a deep ckean. But we love it and will definitely go back.

Incredible relaxing vacay!

We have been to Gulf Shores/Fort Morgan several times with our kids. This was the first time as empty nesters and it was perfect. The size was great and the proximity to the beach was even better. 30 steps tops!! Fort Morgan offers more privacy and less crowds. If you’re looking for a small quaint relaxing spot, this is it!

Easy, chill fall break

We spent a week here with our four young kids and absolutely loved it. It is a very quiet location in a secluded community. It’s about 20 minutes from the excitement of downtown Gulf Shores, but an easy drive for when we wanted to get out for good food or souvenir shopping. The house itself is nicely updated, has all the essentials and just enough space for sleeping, eating, or watching a movie. Our favorite part is you literally cannot get closer to the beach!

Cleanliness ??

The return vent under the eating table is very very nasty!! If this was cleaned it may help with the ac. Also under the couches and beds are also very nasty. You should purchase a swifter sweeper that would help getting under those places. The reason I noticed under the beds and couches is my dogs ball rolled under there so I got down to find it and was surprised by the nastiness.

Rental met our basic needs

Overall the place was suitable. It definitely had a musty odor to it and could use a few hygiene updates (new shower curtain liner - pink mold present, fridge/freezer smelled of fish - more arm and hammer boxes or changed more often). The mattresses were on the firmer side but plenty of beds and pillows provided. An umbrella for the patio would be my only suggestion but maybe its not feasible. The chairs on the patio were nice and comfortable. The chairs down below were broken and cracked but we were thankful for them to have some shade.
