Wake to the surf at this Gulf-front Sandpiper condo, tucked between Little Lagoon and the white sand of Gulf Shores. Sleeping 6 across a king room and a two-full room, it offers huge beachfront windows, a private balcony for sunrise coffee and sunsets, and a full kitchen plus in-unit washer/dryer. Enjoy private beach access, a shared pool with sun loungers, charcoal grills, rinse showers, and assigned parking. Walk to The Beach House Kitchen & Cocktails and Janino's Pizza.

We're local to the Gulf Shores area and available around the clock to make your stay at Sandpiper 16A effortless. Before arrival, we'll send your private entry details along with a quick arrival guide, where to park with your two complex passes, which side of the building to find the elevator and luggage carts (north side), and how to reach your private south-side front door. Once you're settled in with the sound of the Gulf outside your balcony, we like to give guests their space. But we're never more than a message away: for the fastest response, reach us right here through the platform's messaging and we'll jump on anything you need, from recommendations for a sunset dinner at The Beach House Kitchen & Cocktails to extra guidance on the pool gate or beach access. Whether it's day one or a late-night question, consider us your on-call concierge for a smooth, worry-free beach getaway.

Set on West Beach between Little Lagoon and the Gulf, Elaine's Oasis puts you on the quiet, sugar-white end of Gulf Shores-steps from the sand yet minutes from everything.

EAT: Walk to dinner. Janino's Pizza sits at 984 W Beach Blvd, and The Beach House Kitchen & Cocktails (1154 W Beach Blvd) offers easygoing indoor and outdoor dining a block off the main drag. A few blocks away, Bahama Bob's Beachside Café sits about 300 feet from the beach, and farther east the Gulf-front Sea N Suds serves fresh seafood with a view. For fun-packed family meals, LuLu's Gulf Shores-owned by Lucy Buffett-features Southern seafood and burgers plus an outdoor play area with a sand-filled beach, a ropes course, and live music. Save room for Matt's Homemade Alabama Ice Cream.

DO: The beach is your backyard, with private complex access and a public beach access next door. Little Lagoon Pass Park is right nearby, part of the Alabama Coastal Birding Trail with direct beach access. Gulf State Park greets you with miles of white sand plus 28 miles of paved and boardwalk trails and spots like a butterfly garden, playground, Nature Center, and Lake Shelby. For rainy days or restless kids, The Track features six go-kart tracks, blaster boats, a Skycoaster, mini golf, kids' rides, and an arcade; the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo is home to over 300 animals; and Waterville USA packs 20 acres of water slides, a lazy river, and a wave pool. Dolphin cruises and sandcastle classes round out the fun.

SHOP/VISIT: A short drive brings you to The Wharf at Orange Beach, where families enjoy the free nightly SPECTRA Sound and Light Show and The Wharf Express Train, plus a Ferris wheel and shopping.

Welcome to Sandpiper 16A! Here's how to settle in fast:

YOUR DOOR: Unit 16A has its own private keypad front door on the SOUTH side of the building, no key to fumble with. Your personal entry code and step-by-step instructions are sent privately shortly before arrival. One heads-up: the keypad relocks itself about a minute after you open it, so step inside and get settled. As you enter, the kitchen is on your right.

ELEVATOR & LUGGAGE: The building's elevators and complimentary luggage carts are on the NORTH side of the building, grab a cart there to haul beach gear and bags over in one trip.

PARKING: Pull into the complex's first-floor parking area. We leave TWO HOA parking passes for you on the kitchen counter, please display them in your vehicles for the duration of your stay (passes are required at Sandpiper).

ALL THE COMPLEX EXTRAS ARE YOURS: Private beach access, the shared pool with sun loungers, the charcoal grilling area, bike racks, and rinse showers to wash the sand off before you head up. The Gulf, the sand, and your private balcony are all steps away.

ONE LOCKED DOOR: The owner's hall closet is kept locked and is off-limits, everything you'll need for your stay is already out and stocked for you.

Anything you can't find, just message us, we're quick to respond and happy to help.
