About this property
🥳 Early Bird Sale. First 2! Wits End, West. 6BR. Pool. Awesome 2nd floor beach walkover!
Wits End, West Unit. 1433 West Beach Blvd. Gulf Shores, AL 36542
6BR 6BA. Beachfront. Pool. Multiple master suites. Big balconies. Big views. Big beach! Accommodates up to 25, 50 in both sides!
This listing is for the West side unit of Wits End.
One side perfect for your group? Then this West side of Wits End (6BR) may be just what you need! Or, check out Wits End's East side unit (6BR) — same great layout, same bedding, sleeps the same number, and same great amenities, so if one isn't available, grab the other--you can't go wrong! Or.... Go BIG and snag Wits End's East & West sides together in one listing. That's 12 BR, with hotel-style secure connecting door!
Check out the awesome beach walkover we put in. Walk out the main level living room, onto the deck, and over the walkover!
Don't forget, peak season is in swing and during peak season, we book Saturday to Saturday. So, if you're looking and don't see any availability, check to see if your stay duration falls under those parameters as that usually is the problem :) But, as always, feel free to reach out as we are always happy to help!
Relaxation awaits you at this fabulous beachside duplex. Each side of this beach home has 6 bedrooms and 6 baths, including 2 master suites.

TWO REFRIGERATORS Two? Per side? Yes two. Because you won't want to stay somewhere without an extra fridge once you have had them.
HEATABLE POOL Private to the two sides of the duplex: no sharing with other places nearby. The pool is open all year. It's a big rectangle, 22x16x3-5' Rectangle. Lounge chairs are provided around the pool. Added a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps, and the same temp Disney uses for its pools!) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a nightly surcharge (varies by season and with gas market price, has been $60-85 per night, just inquire, and must be for length of stay (this is based on market pricing for propane gas, and can change at any time, both up and down, until added to a reservation). Fee subject to change due to incredibly high gas rates right now. Simply request the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and at least a week before check in so we can get it on before you arrive.
Heatable pools in beach homes and duplexes are VERY RARE along the gulf. If a place doesn't mention it, it does NOT have one! Grab one with one while they last!
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 > 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!
PARKING There is available onsite, offstreet, parking for at least 6 midsize vehicles (per side), more if you stack well. In duplex units, please be neighborly about this.
SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, GRILLS 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 both drip coffee makers and Keurigs as well.
PETS We do consider well-behaved canine furry friends at many locations. This requires owner pre-approval, and is subject to a pet fee (currently $250 per pet). Approval in a duplex location, especially for peak weeks, generally is only available for guests renting both sides of the duplex. Please inquire.
No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

Perfect family vacay!
Perfect family vacation right on the beach with lots of room and it's own pool.
The whole house is perfect. There was ample room for everyone and the beds were very comfortable. The house has plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets. The air conditioner has a setting on each floor making it comfortable for everyone. We loved our time here! The owners are very responsive to any and all questions.
We enjoyed our stay here. Great location. House was very clean and all the basics provided. The walkway to the beach was very nice and made everything so much easier!

Wits was wonderful!
Richard's home was wonderful! It was very spacious even with our large family all staying together, and it was so nice to be able to walk right out onto the beach. We had a lovely visit and hope to return!

Very relaxing vacation!
Bama Beach Houses delivered everything a vacationer would want. Wits End West comes fully furnished with anything and everything you could need. This along with being steps away from pretty much your own private beach, made this a very relaxing vacation. The folks at Bama Beach Houses keep you informed every step of the way even down to great places to eat and visit.

Wits End West side unit
It was an amazing several days. Could have stayed a couple longer :) ! Our entire family had a wonderful time and your home is beautiful. Everything was really perfect!
This was our first time visiting Gulf Shores! We absolutely loved this trip. There were 23 of us in this house. It was very comfortable, very clean and the location was great! Our favorite part about the house was the 2nd floor boardwalk out to the sand. So nice!

Really enjoyed our vacation!
We really enjoyed our vacation - weather was great and the house was very accommodating. We stayed at Wits End about ten years ago and the added walk-over to the beach is amazing. The pool is still "cold" (but we enjoyed the privacy of our own space). We actually rented both sides (related parties).

Staff made this trip SO easy!
Bama Beach Houses was very easy to work with. Everything was handled in a professional and timely manner. Check in was a breeze and the beach house, Wits End, was just the right fit for our group of 12 adults. I would definitely recommend using them for your next beach vacation. And the cheese cake was good too 👍

Great time! No complaints or problems!
We had a great time in your home and didn't encounter any major issues. The weather wasn't perfect but we were with family and great friends and away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Being around the surf and sand is always nice! All in all we had a very enjoyable time and had no big complaints or problems.

Finally! And so nice!
We had to move our stay a couple times. Thank you SO much for being understanding about that! We finally made the trip, and to Wits End, and it was awesome! We all had such a great time. And the beach, walkover, pool, and rooms were so so nice! THANK YOU!

We love Wits End... every year!
Paradise!!! We love the view of the Gulf. From my livingroom chair I could see the dolphins swim by ... a large pod of them! The sugar sand beach is great for walks and kite flying with such easy access on the board walkway. The cupboards are very well stocked with dishes and utensils. Two fridges are nice for having enough space for many people's food and beverages. There is a pair of morning Doves that greet us every year! This is definitely PARADISE!!!

Another amazing time at Wits End West
We had another amazing time at Wits End West. The 2nd floor balcony facing the gulf is our home away from home during the cold winter months. As always, everything was clean and the full kitchen allowed for nights in when we weren't eating out at the fantastic, close options like LuLu's and Doc's. The private, heated pool is also a great option if the weather doesn't cooperate. We had great weather the whole time so spent most of it on the beach. 😎 If you're thinking about taking time away in paradise, pull the trigger and book this now! Until next year, Gulf Shores and THANK YOU, Bama Beach Houses!

Beautiful Balcony overlooking beach, waves, sunrises, and sunsets!
Sad that tomorrow is our last day. This place is amazing and we will most definitely be back next year! The heated pool is kept at a perfect temperature plus it's covered so the fun doesn't stop with the rain. Rooms are spacious with very comfortable beds and thermostats on each floor. Stayed in the gulf-side 2nd floor room which has a nice, tall bathroom to vent steam easily from hot showers. The highlight was the beautiful balcony overlooking the beach, waves, sunrises, and sunsets. We also appreciated the multiple fridges to fit all the food and full kitchen for cooking. Perfect getaway from the Minnesota cold. Can't wait to come back!

Family vacation for 10. We ranged in age from 6 to 70 from 2 states. Beautiful beach. Often saw dolphins. Lots of shells. Great house. Two refrigerators were very handy. Appreciated the wooden walkway over the dunes with the shower for removing sand. Enjoyed the nice size swimming pool under the house. We recommend having it heated even in July.
Highly recommend S & S Seafood Market which is close to house. There were some days that we did not want to leave the house. Placed our order in the afternoon. When pickup time arrived, a couple of us would pick up the food bring it back to house to enjoy. Much easier than going to the restaurants with the crowds. This vacation was one of our favorites.

We loved the home!
We loved the home! From comparing from past rentals we've done (this is our 10th year traveling to AL) we noticed how clean the home was, we could walk barefoot and not be grossed out haha. Also, how solid the house is was also noticed. We didn't hear much between the floors when people would go to bed, but maybe the neighbors from time to time. We had 10 kids total that ranged from 6 month to 19 years old and lots of personalities. With that being said sound and volumes were never an issue with comfort levels for the families that stayed with us no matter the time of day. Some are early risers and some night owls. We all felt we had the freedom to relax how we wanted without being a bother. Your house was very comfortable and we all had a memorable stay. Thank you for the opportunity to rent for another amazing vacation in our happy place! You guys were amazing to rent from.

Great place and great beach access!
This house was very nice and the location perfect. Dual refrigerators was a huge plus. The living room gathering space was a little small for our large family. We cooked a lot and with our large family and people going in and out, the living room struggled to stay as cool as we like. Overall, great place and great beach access!
[Thank you so much Bill! Glad you had a wonderful time in my home. Appreciate that you all loved the home and location was perfect. Bummed to lose a star for the LR not being big (or cool) enough (assuming that was it) for your crew and their hubbub! I appreciate that, and my family has a few other places, with bigger living spaces, for next time, so just DM me or bama beach houses and I'll help you find your next perfect place! And if you have any other suggestions/things to improve, from the home, messaging, service, whatever, please don't hesitate: I am a constant tweaker! 😉]
