🥰 Summer 2026 Going fast! 😎 Pearl, East. Huge, beautiful! Heatable Pool. Elevator. Upgrades!

The Pearl, East
1037 West Beach Blvd

10BR 9.5BA. Big, beautiful, duplex vacation home. Pool. Elevator. Lots of everything! Accommodates 28, 56 in both sides!

2025-06-03. Yay! New Virtual Tours of both sides of Pearl, plus the two sides in one big tour! The tours are the latest greatest! HDR photo updates to follow. Nice place!

This listing is for the Pearl's EAST Unit.

We have the Pearl East, the Pearl West, or you can book them together as a 20BR as the Pearl East & West!

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!

Main Floor Bedroom: King with private en suite bath
3rd Floor N Bedroom: King with private en suite bath
3rd Floor N Middle Bedroom: Two Twin over Full Bunks with bath off hall
3rd Floor S Middle Bedroom: King with private en suite bath
3rd Floor S Bedroom: King with private en suite bath
4th Floor N Bedroom: King with private en suite bath
4th Floor N Middle Bedroom: Two Twin over Full Bunks w/ bath accessible from hallway (shared with Middle King)
4th Floor Middle Bedroom: King w/ bath accessible from hallway (shared with N Middle Bunks)
4th Floor S Middle Bedroom: King with private en suite bath
4th Floor S Bedroom: King with private en suite bath

Phew! That's a lot of beds... per side!

Huge living room big. A bonus living area on the top floor, with its own wet bar.

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'x35′ 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, there is also a 25 foot driveway that can fit more cars per side, AND over flow parking is available across the street.

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!

Pearl East was WONDERFUL!!!

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.
The primary living room had lots of seating and a great view

Our Paw Paw turned 99 and we celebrated as a family in this beautiful place! So close to the beach, the pool was amazing, spacious and comfortable bedrooms, excellent kitchen and kind and thoughtful owners. The management company was responsive and timely. What a beautiful time with family!

Wow! What a great place for our 'snowbird' stay!

Pearl was so wonderful for our Jan-Feb stay. The owners were great too! They worked with us to make it happen, and are so super responsive to anything we may need. Being right on the beach, and having the elevator... so nice! We are super spoiled now. Hope we can do this again... but we have been really happy with all of Rick and Susan's homes too. Thank you so much!

It was amazing. We had the best time. We felt like the communication was excellent and we had zero problems. Very professional. Everyone raved about the stay. Thanks for everything. [Really happy to hear you all had a wonderful time at Pearl.! Shared your comments with the gang on the ground... brighten folks' days. Thanks for that! Reach out directly if you have any suggestions, or if I can assist with getting another return on the books!]

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!
