Bunk Bed Beach Base | 2BR Family Retreat at The Cove

Welcome to The Cove B 206: a two-bedroom, two-bath Gulf Shores retreat built for families who want to actually enjoy their vacation. Close to the beach without the Gulf-front price tag.

Bedroom one has a comfortable queen bed for the adults. Bedroom two has two sets of bunk beds sleeping four kids so everyone has their own spot and nobody shares a pullout sofa. Six guests total, two full baths, and zero compromises.

The Gulf is a three-minute walk away. Close beach access means you walk, drop your towels, and you're in. The complex pool is right outside your door when the kids need a break from the waves. There's a lagoon-side fishing pier and a private boat launch both steps from the unit so if someone in your crew fishes or kayaks, they're already home.

The kitchen is fully stocked. Make breakfast before the beach. Grill out at the shared BBQ area at night. The open living space has comfortable seating, a flat screen smart TV, and WiFi for when the kids need to decompress and the adults need a glass of wine and some quiet.

You're walking distance to Pier 33 for groceries and supplies. The Hangout is 1.7 miles away. Waterville USA is less than two miles. Gulf State Park Pier -one of the best fishing piers on the Alabama coast is 1.2 miles. Smart lock check-in. Two assigned parking spaces. No elevator — this is a second-floor walkup, so it's easy for families and you can get those steps in after all the delish food at our amazing restaurants but not ideal for guests with mobility needs.

This is not a hotel room dressed up as a condo. This is a real beach home base for a family that wants space, function, and a location that earns its rate every single day.

THE THREE LISTING HIGHLIGHTS:
1 Bunk beds + queen — perfect family layout Two sets of bunk beds in bedroom two plus a queen in bedroom one. Six guests, two baths, no compromises.
2 Close beach AND lagoon access Walk to the Gulf or fish the lagoon. Private boat launch and fishing pier on site. You have both.
3 Self check-in — smooth from day one Smart lock entry. No front desk. No waiting. Your vacation starts when you arrive.
