The beach. What is better than family fun, toes in the sand and the gorgeous ocean staring back at you? Our family loves to travel and we first brought my son to the beach back in 2010 when we visited Gulf Shores, Alabama. We’ve been to a few different beaches but we keep on coming back to Gulf Shores for so many reasons. We live in the Midwest so it’s not that far of a drive for us. It’s family-friendly, which is so important to us. The beaches and the water are absolutely gorgeous and there’s so much to do, too!
We are so excited to be heading back to Gulf Shores this summer – this time we will be introducing our twin girls to the beach! Since we are traveling as a bigger family of five now, we look for places that have amenities that you would find at home.
The perfect place to stay if you’re headed to Gulf Shores? Gulf Shores Plantation!
We visited Gulf Shores Plantation back in 2010 and had an absolute blast. Gulf Shores Plantation is located on Fort Morgan Peninsula and features thousands of feet of uncrowded beach.
At the fully-furnished condos at Gulf Shores Plantation, you’ll find all the comforts of home. For fun, there’s 6 outdoor pools, 1 indoor pool, tennis, basketball and shuffleboard courts and of course, the beach!

You know my oldest, 4.5 has been asking to go to the beach and Gulf Shores is a manageable drive from Houston, maybe we need to look into this over the summer! Thanks for sharing.
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
I love early fall if we’re talking NC beaches. September is just glorious here!
JenJenn says
Beautiful beach and great prices! I’ll have to check it out!

Virginia @thatbaldchick says
Awesome photos. With the weather here in the Midwest, I wish I were on a beach!
Sarah@SweetLilYou says
We live in RI, so we spend time on the beach in the summer, but I prefer the beaches on the Gulf! The water is so much warmer and the sand so much softer, and cleaner haha I “grew up” spending weeks in the winter at my grandparents vacation house on the FL Gulf coast. This resort looks amazing!!
Tesa @ 2 Wired 2 Tired says
What a beautiful place! My mom grew up going to Gulf Shores for family vacations and my husband and I were lucky enough to travel there about 10 years ago. We’ve always wanted to return with our kids and this would be the perfect excuse to do so.
Andrea@MommyPR says
My husband and I have talked about taking the kids there and looking at those great prices we are going to definitely have to take them this year!
Katie G says
What perfect timing – I also live in the midwest and have been looking for somewhere to head for a quick weekend away! It looks absolutely delightful 🙂
MommaDJane says
We love to travel and are always looking for new quick trips to take. In August we head out on our fourth Disney cruise. Beaches are where we head most of the time. I’ll add this area to my places to visit list!
saminder gumer says

Hali @daytodayMOMents says

What a fabulous place to vacation! My favorite time to go to the beach is EVERY DAY! We live quite close to the beach in South Florida, and I just love watching the sun rise over the ocean with my family.
Bekah Kuczenski says
Wow those pictures look beautiful! And what great deals! We love going to the beach over my bunny’s spring break!
Christi says
This place looks GORGEOUS!! How fun for a getaway!
Andrea Kruse says
What a gorgeous beach! Some day I would love the chance to take my family to a white sand beach. Here in OR it is more rocky and cold.
Becca - Our Crazy Boys says
Awh! I went to Air Force training there and have fond memories of that beach! My husband and I keep talking about bringing the boys there, I’d love to use this company!
Olivia Rubin says
He was so little there! It’s funny because I grew up right near the water and have always lived within 20 minutes tops of the beach. I am so used to it that I hardly go anymore. I take it for granted. I used to love within a five minute walk…that was great. Those prices are pretty good considering its location
Kerri @SavvyMomNYC says
Looks awesome! Can’t wait to hear more about it!
cori says
I LOVE THE BEACH! That sand looks amazing! We don’t get many beach days here in Seattle, but anytime we do you’ll find me sunbathing!
