Take Time to Discover the Best of Gulf Shores
While a weekend away may not feel like much, when it’s spent in Gulf Shores, it has the power to rejuvenate a traveler’s perspective and inspire their senses too! This beautiful destination is popular for its beaches with good reason. The soft and meticulously maintained shorelines are great for exploring, sunbathing, and strolling alike. If you happen to be heading to Gulf Shores with little ones in tow, there’s an option to include some time with Sand Castle University into your stay! This company offers visitors the option to book a sandcastle-building lesson with an expert that’s sure to be a highlight activity of your visit. The instructor brings everything needed to create amazing sand creations whether that’s a turtle, castle, or dolphin design—the options are simply endless!
Taking time out of the weekend lineup to visit the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo is another great activity to include on your itinerary. Since opening in 1989, the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo has continued to capture the minds and imaginations of wildlife enthusiasts from across the map. The zoo hosts over 200 species of animals on-site and is located no more than 6 miles from the shoreline. Offering up 25 acres of land to discover, zoo guests will love browsing exhibits that feature everything from lions and lemurs to peacocks, monkeys, and kangaroos just to name a few.
If your weekend trip to Gulf Shores would be elevated by savory selections, making your way to the Gulf Shores Seafood Market at least once during your visit promises to please. This open market hosts an impressive collection of locally caught fresh fare to purchase that can be used to create a seafood cookout with family and friends during your visit. The market is found at 921 Gulf Shores Parkway and carries selections that range from lobster and shrimp to oysters too. It’s been an iconic stop in the area for more than 60 years and is well worth visiting on your weekend away.
Testimonials
Jeff louis
Poole has been the best management company by far. They are prompt when dealing with any issues. They understand that our rental house is also our home and they take care of it just as we would. What makes them the best is they care about their renters as well as the property owners. Not many companies are as hands on as they are. Jason and Jeff have been great to work with and I would definitely recommend them for property management.

Poole & Associates were in contact with us prior to our arrival, during our stay to make sure we had all we needed and afterwards. The unit had been updated since last year. We have stayed in this unit for many years. The unit is well stocked and has a beautiful view. The property is well maintained as well. I highly recommend Poole & Associates.
