In a blink of an eye another school year has come to an end, and perhaps a bit sooner than you were prepared for, it is time to start planning your summer vacation. Like most travelers you are probably imagining idyllic beach vacation, frolicking in the surf, building sandcastles at shore’s edge, and sipping tropical beverages as the sun sets over the sea, but you may be concerned about the cost. Beach life has gotten to be quite expensive just about everywhere, except on the hidden gem known as the Alabama Gulf Coast, and we at Poole & Associates want to introduce you to the charms of our summer rentals in the Gulf Shores area, with this guide providing a sneak peek into your dream beach vacation experience come true!

Gulf Shores of Alabama Vacation Rentals
This part of the Gulf Coast is known for three towns, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Fort Morgan, and it should be of no surprise that we offer escapes in all three towns. We want to start this tour of summer comfort with an examination of our Gulf Shores rentals, exploring their comforts, their amenities, and the best parts of the towns they are located in, giving you a complete picture of what you can expect from each. All offer white sand beaches, delicious seafood restaurants, and many different ways to play and explore and all will be one of your favorite parts of your vacation but the differences will perhaps be what encourages you to come back at least two more times, simply to explore what each town offers!
Gulf Shores Escapes
Gulf Shores is known for its Gulf Coast Zoo and for our Poole & Associates escapes that provide comfort and luxury to all who reside within. Our properties in Gulf Shores are a blend of condos, villas, and standalone private homes with most offering stunning views of the Gulf and easy beach access. Filled with light, even the spaces that don’t sit directly on the beach will be close enough that you may still be able to hear the roar of the surf and will definitely feel the sea breezes kissing your cheeks. Beachy décor will make you feel welcomed and as you step inside for the first time, open concept floor plans reveal all the comforts at a glance. Living rooms are meant to be lived in, and in most spaces, a wall of windows created from sliding glass doors, will tempt you to forget this tour of comfort, step outside, and let the relaxation begin as the waves crash against the sand below your perch on the balcony. We invite you to sit out here as long as you like, the tour of our fully equipped kitchens, the dining rooms where you will eat meals and play board games, and the most comfortable bedrooms in the state will be waiting until you are ready to come back in.
Orange Beach Retreats
Orange Beach is known for its lifestyle center (as opposed to shopping center) but it is our Poole & Associates retreats that are located in Orange Beach that we are most proud of and that will give you a vacation experience you will be obsessed over. Just as in Gulf Shores you will have your choice of condos, villas, and standalone homes, and the rentals that you call home for your Alabama vacation will be filled with luxury amenities and all the serenity that a beach vacation should provide. Private homes may offer private pools, introducing you to the wonderful sensation of a nighttime swim, and views of the sea will ensure that you will always be close to your favorite part of a Gulf getaway. Covered porches may be lined with chairs offering a beautiful spot to sit, sip, and savor the peace and quiet of another perfect day on the beach, perhaps while you are sipping sweet tea, a Southern favorite. Spacious and spa-like baths will offer updated fixtures and in many, deep tubs will help our guests slide easily into sleep as they soak, sip chardonnay, and read a chapter or two of the book they have carried across the miles.
Fort Morgan Sanctuaries
Fort Morgan Beach is a smaller town, named for the historic Fort Morgan built in 1834, but we live the history for that structure, providing more condos, villas, and homes for your vacationing enjoyment. Located in resort style communities, even the smallest condos will offer a long list amenities that will help fill every minute of your summer stay with fun and entertainment. We will talk about community amenities a little further down the page, but for now, let’s explore the interior spaces of your Fort Morgan sanctuaries. Filled with the light of the Alabama sun, your summer adventures will be of the relaxed and laid back kind. Movies watched on state of the art televisions, accompanied by fresh popped popcorn and refreshing beverages, will give you a relaxing way to end every day. Maybe you will set up a puzzle building station on one end of the dining table, working together over the course of your vacation to complete it before you have to return home. And although family vacations are something you look forward to every day in real life, retreating to our Fort Morgan bedrooms at the end of every day will provide the peace you need to shore up for the next day of vacation adventures with family.
Community Amenities Enhance Your Vacation Experience
Now that you have a feeling of what to expect while inside your vacation escapes on the Alabama Gulf Coast, the community amenities of our condos and villas are waiting to be explored. Our condos are located in resort communities that offer more for your entertainment fun, including community pools, picnic areas, even boat slips and docks offering more ways to play while at home. Some communities will offer grilling areas and the opportunity to rent a beach chair and umbrella on the white sands just outside your escape, and others may provide hot tubs, sports courts, fitness rooms, and saunas. And although an elevator isn’t exactly a fancy amenity, they are definitely appreciated when carrying luggage in or out of the condo. Pools may be heated, extending your summer fun a little later into the fall, and some communities may even offer indoor pools, letting you swim during the coldest months of the year. (Not that it gets that cold in this part of Alabama!)
Peaceful and Serene
We know how lucky we are that we get to call this part of Alabama our home, and we want to make sure that our Poole & Associates guests get to enjoy a vacation experience that make them feel that for this week out of their lives they too are lucky residents of the Alabama Gulf Coast. Reflecting the peaceful qualities of the seas that surround us, the serenity of our spaces will permeate your soul, making you forget that you ever had any troubles.
