The Pearl is a really awesome beachfront duplex vacation home in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Is the Pearl on West Beach a big vacation home!? You know it! Is it fabulous? You bet! Should it be your next favorite place to stay in Gulf Shores? Absolutely! (If you act soon enough to get it... it goes away quickly every year!).
How big? 10 Bedrooms big PER SIDE. Sleeps 28 EACH SIDE!
That's big! In 8 kings and 4 sets of full-single combo bunk beds (a full bed underneath a single!). King beds. Big! And none of that sleeper sofa stuff to make it 28. Its 28 in beds, not pullouts. And, no, there are no sleeper sofas anywhere at The Pearl. Need to sleep more than 28? Take both sides of this huge duplex, and 56 people can stay comfortably, and in style! Or check into our other really big vacation houses, because we surely have the perfect size for you!

TWO OR MORE OF MOST APPLIANCES PER SIDE! TWO of the essentials on EACH side! BIG. With not one but two refrigerators. And, not one but two dishwashers too! Because when you are big: eat, drink, wash, repeat! It's better with two! Need ice? It's got icemakers, and not just on the two fridges! Clothes, swimsuits, towels? Of course it has a really big washer and dryer! In fact, one set per floor! Seriously.
ELEVATOR! How about accessibility? Elevators! One per side. Hoofing it up three floors can be hard. Why not an elevator?! Yes, the Pearl on West Beach has one of those too! And bathroom tweaks too. The bath on the main level has a floor roll in capable shower, just in case!
POOL? You bet! Of course! Huge pool for the sole use of the duplex. Big. Great place to lounge, or head under the home for a break from the heat, or on one of the many decks! All.. BIG! AND its heatable. Really big. In the vicinity of 14'x35β² big. Wow! Deck? Yup, covered and uncovered. We literally have you covered, when it comes to a deck! And its private to the two sides of our duplex, not shared with anyone else in the area! Heatable too! Added a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82-84' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a nightly surcharge that varies by season and is per night for length of stay (the 12 month range has been $65-85 depending on season) gas is expensive right now, this does not actually recoup the cost!). Simply request the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and any time up to at least a few days before check in so we can get it on before you arrive. See our FAQ about heatable pools too. The pool is beachside, in the sun, with an expansive deck area around it, PLUS a nice shaded and sheltered area to escape the heat, right under the home. Nice!
BEACHFRONT? Absolutely. The Pearl on West Beach, is RIGHT on the beach. Nothing but sand between you, your guests, and the water (well, sand, and the pool!). Parking is no problem either. 3 cars fit under the house on each side.
WIFI/INTERNET YES! We have an awesome Eero mesh network to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home!? That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like? It is generally rock solid and ran > 250Mb down the last test--sufficient for several simultaneous video conference sessions for remote work and education. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests "troubleshooting" it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though, and likely better since its close in and new construction!
SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, ETC ETC As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a "starter supply" of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, grills are not provided, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have drip coffee makers and most now have Keurigs as well.
Come Stay with us at the The Pearl on West Beach at 1037 West Beach Boulevard, Gulf Shores Alabama!

We would absolutely stay at the Pearl East again! It was the perfect house for our family reunion. Plenty of parking for all cars. Directly on the beach with a great pool. Private walkway to the beach. Plenty of seating in the kitchen and dining areas. Rooms were good - spacious enough, linens were a bit thin. AC definitely worked. Overall it was worth the cost!
This was a wonderful place to stay for our extended family. With 18 adults and 3 children then was more than enough room and the facilities were outstanding! Beds were comfortable, the house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked! We would definitely stay again!
Such an incredible home! Steps to the beach and so much room to spread out so we could both enjoy our family trip with adult children and grandkids. The home was beautiful and we would absolutely return.
We were there between May 30 and June 7, 2025. It was such a wonderful place. We had 27 people in our group and there was plenty of room for sleeping, eating, being together and breaking up into smaller groups. We had a couple issues while we were there and the response to correct them was immediate. The pool was lovely, and the beach access was so convenient. We would highly recommend this property.

Perfect for our group
The house was perfect for our group. When we arrived, it was clean and cool - much appreciated!! Thanks for the rental! We loved it.
My husband, myself and our family; along with my sister, my brother-in-law and their family enjoyed our stay! A total of 18 adults and 5 children. The house had plenty of room for the family to spread out and enjoy themselves!
The pool was amazing and had lots of room for our huge crew!
There was 22 of us that enjoyed this property. We could not have asked for a nicer, cleaner or better managed house. Location was perfect. We were all very pleased.

Pearl was wonderful!
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. We were in the East side of the Pearl and it was perfect for us. We loved everything about the place. It was clean and it great shape. It was big enough for our whole group. The pool and beach were great too. Overall we had a fantastic trip and hope to return in the future, and maybe take both sides next time!

We love this house!
We have stayed in The Pearl twice and have thoroughly enjoyed this gorgeous property! We took at least 20 family members each time and everyone had beautiful and comfortable bedrooms with their own bathrooms! There is plenty of spaciousness in the living room/dining room/kitchen open area. Two long tables with chairs and benches provide plenty of seating for meal time. We love this house and will definitely be returning!

We loved your home!!
Well.. we loved your home!! We definitely had enough space and everyone was comfortable. The others in the group were pleased as well. The washing machines on each floor made it easy to handle all the laundry. Our neighbors.. they were quiet and we rarely had to share space them. We did have a cook off completion with them.. which we lost. They cooked large amounts of bbq, chili, bacon wrapped potatoes!! We cooked pastalaya. It's chicken, sausage, pork with noodles. The pool was slightly green at first then really green! I called and the pool co handled it immediately. The kids still swam in the green water, so no worries!!! Thanks so much!
