6BR 7BA. Casa Playa, East Unit. Gulf Shores, Alabama. Nice duplex. 6BR per side! Pool!

UPGRADES! New paint, new stuff, so new pictures and virtual tour too!

Looking for an very nice, upscale home to house a large group of people but you'd like to save a few dollars in the deal? This wonderful duplex has 6 bedrooms and 7 baths on each side. Want more? How about great internet on a wifi mesh network? An EXTRA fridge for all those shrimp and beach beverages? Easy beach access and a great price point. What's not to love?

This listing is for ONE SIDE, with 6 bedrooms. For both sides, and 12 bedrooms, see our Casa Playa, East & West listing or just inquire. One side perfect for your group? Book our Casa Playa, East and Casa Playa, West listings for the individual units. Note, there IS a connecting door between the two sides in the living room areas. Like a connecting hotel room, it can be opened if guests rent both sides.

BEDDING
Main Floor N Bedroom: King
3rd Floor N Bedroom: King
3rd Floor Middle Bedroom: Queen
3rd Floor S Bedroom: King
4th Floor N Bedroom: 2 Queen + Twin Bunk
4th Floor S Bedroom: 2 Queen + Twin Bunk

Main Floor Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa
Main Floor Lounge Area: Queen Sleeper Sofa

ALL bedrooms have en suite bathrooms with combo shower/tubs. The 2nd Floor LR and Bonus QSS use a common bath separate from that level's bedroom.

BEACH ACCESS
Casa Playa is located on the north side of West Beach Boulevard, directly across the street from the beach and you can see the beach! You have beach access at the 12th (3 mins, < .1 mile!) and 13th street public beaches, PLUS a large pool private to just the guests of Casa Playa. We aren't talking about blocks to reach the beach, it's right across the street, .1 miles to the west!

POOL? You bet!
BIG outdoor pool (shared only between the two sides). 30x18x3-5' rectangular bit of bliss!
​​​​​​​
PARKING
There is available onsite parking for at least 6 cars per side. More if you park under then home and stack carefully. Just share nice with the neighbors!

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 solid and ran > 100Mb 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.

No smoking please. No pets.

SNOWBIRDS! Up to 2/3rds off for off-season stays of 28 days or longer.

Great place to stay when you have a large group.

Great place to stay when you have a large group. The pool was a nice addition. Very clean and well stocked. I recommend the Bama Beach House for your large group wanting to spend time at the beach.

I can't say enough about how great a time we had in your home. Very clean, comfortable for all of us. Seemed like it was just updated too. We very much enjoyed ourselves and hope to come back in the future. Highly recommend Casa Playa AND Bama Beach Houses. Thank you for having us!

Property was great! We had a great time! It would have helped to have a phone number to call or text to communicate with the host a little faster than emails. But the host was great and the property was exactly as advertised! Thank you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Family gathering for Thanksgiving!

There was plenty of room with room to spare for the 14 of us. The view was nice. The house was spotless. Our host Richard was friendly and answered our questions within a few hours. Looks just like the photos and matched the description. The beds and pillows were a bit hard for my liking. But the memories we made there at Thanksgiving were priceless!

Casa Playa was great!

Excellent place to stay! Everything was great and Host was super responsive and accommodating!! I'd stay with them again for sure! The beds in the home were a little rough, very hard, and pretty uncomfy. We ended up buying a mattress topper to help but it really wasn't enough. Overall, great place to stay though. [🥰 Thanks Liz! Super happy you all had a wonderful time and loved our home, and responsiveness too! Beds are definitely a personal preference. My wife likes soft beds and hard pillows, whereas I LOVE firm beds (and can't sleep on soft ones) but loath hard pillows. To be fair, I am far and away the more 'princess and the pea' of the two of us though! 😉 I can certainly see, though, how a firm one could be rough on your particular condition (congrats btw!). If you have any other suggestions, don't hesitate to reach out to me anytime, or for that return trip too! Really glad to hear you would love to come back and recommend my place AND the management co too. Thanks again and best wishes. 🙏]

Highly recommend!!!

Richard and his team were very responsive and accommodating to our last minute request to book. His place was clean and comfortable for our family. The linen was fresh, and there were several pots and pans in the kitchen available for cooking. The pool is intimate, and the location is central to Gulf Shore and Orange Beach. If you are traveling with elderly family members please note that there are several layers of stairs including getting inside of the house. This is expected of a house near the beach as they are built off of the ground to avoid flooding. We thoroughly enjoyed being able to walk 2 minutes to the beach. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much!

Nice home with lots of space

We travel with my brother and his wife. Sometimes my sister and her husband also join us for a week or so. The house was very roomy. We like to golf, play Pickleball and ride our ebikes. We saw a couple of great shows and enjoyed the relatively close proximity to everything we wanted to do. Check in was simple as well as check out. Great location

Mission accomplished!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Playa East. Previously we had stayed at Casa Playa West. We love the house, the floor plan & pool. We only had one issue, and it was taken care of immediately. Thank you for everything. Our mission of making memories with our grandchildren and children was accomplished!
