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!

we are going to oc maryland in july cant wait love the beach
We love the beach but never seem to find the time to go. I love the pictures of the area. Absolutely beautiful!
Oh how I would love to pack my bags and head there now for a much needed vacation. Hopefully someday it will happen!
We live 20 minutes from the beach and still love staying by the water on vacation. This sounds like an awesome deal!
Wow! It looks beautiful there. I am amazed that the prices are so reasonable for such a nice place!
Not a bad price either and I love that it isn’t overcrowded
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.
I love early fall if we’re talking NC beaches. September is just glorious here!
Beautiful beach and great prices! I’ll have to check it out!
This is so timely. A friend was JUST telling me how gorgeous the beaches of Alabama are since I have never been. By the looks of those photos, she was right!
Wow – it sounds like an amazing place! I would love to go and visit some day. Thanks so much for sharing!
I wish I could pack up and head there right now. That beach looks amazing and the prices are great.
I’m packing right now! Want to meet me there in five?? I wish =P Sounds wonderful!
My son just asked me the other day if we could go to the beach. I can’t wait to take him! This looks beautiful!
those are great rates! we were at the beach this past weekend, not the best weather but a great time nonetheless 🙂
Awesome photos. With the weather here in the Midwest, I wish I were on a beach!
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!!
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.
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!
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 🙂
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!
i would never picture the beaches of alabama looking like this. i have to go to the beach there.
Wow these are great deals, wish I could take my family for a getaway! Will bookmark this, if not now, really interested! Think great for food allergy families like ours.
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.
Wow those pictures look beautiful! And what great deals! We love going to the beach over my bunny’s spring break!
This place looks GORGEOUS!! How fun for a getaway!
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.
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!
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
Looks awesome! Can’t wait to hear more about it!
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!
love the photos beautiful love the beach
This looks like an AMAZING place to stay! I’m with ya, we are from Chicago and we are heading to Sanibel Island this June – and I can’t WAIT!
looks like a beautiful place
I’m a fellow St. Louisan, but am originally from Mobile, AL, and Gulf Shores was pretty much our local beach – this looks like a great place to stay!
Any time is a good time for the beach when you live in Florida! I am SO excited you all are taking the girls and Hayden to the beach! I know it’s going to be such a fun trip!
We love to go to the beach at the end of Sept. The weather is always nice and the water is still warm.
This is awesome location to go vacation. i so wish i could be there. Great pictures and very nice article.
Looks great! I would love to go there
Love walking on the beach first thing in the AM looking for shells that have washed in.
looks like a great vacation
