&nbsp; Plantation Palms #6205 Located at Gulf Shores Plantation Resort, this 1BR (+1 hall bunk bed) condo is steps to the beach and includes access to resort amenities including pools, hot tubs, and tennis courts. Dine alfresco and enjoy sunsets on a private balcony. INSIDE THE CONDO Enter the main building and take the elevator in the hallway up to your 2nd floor unit. Gleaming white-tiled floors feature throughout the condo, and high ceilings lend a sense of spaciousness. The primary bedroom features a queen bed, 32” TV, and access to a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The wicker headboard and side tables add a classic Gulf Shores vibe. Kids will love clambering into the twin-over-twin hallway bunk alcove, surrounded by cute porthole artwork and shiplap-style walls. This hallway sleeping area is directly opposite the bathroom and next to a stackable washer/dryer. Fresh and contemporary, the open living space has a chill coastal vibe. A full kitchen features granite countertops and new, all-white appliances that include an electric stove/oven, microwave, blender, and coffee maker -- everything necessary for whipping up food and drinks. There’s seating for four at the breakfast bar, and a glass-top dining table also seats four. In the sitting area, you can curl up on a queen-size sleeper sofa or armchair. Watch shows on the 42” TV, equipped with cable and a Blu-ray player. Your Gulf-facing balcony overlooks the resort’s landscaped grounds with a golden ribbon of beach just beyond. Seating areas and one of numerous tennis courts and pools sprawl before you. Enjoy meals at a four-seat patio table or soak up sunsets while perched at a small two-seat pub table. LOCATION A stay at the Gulf Shores Plantation community provides access to resort-style amenities, including several swimming pools—indoor and outdoor—a hot tub, a clubhouse with exercise facilities, and a sauna. You’re also just steps away from the beach when you’re ready to feel sand between your toes. Golf lovers will appreciate the world-class Kiva Dunes course next door, and history buffs are only a 15-minute drive to Fort Morgan, an important Civil War site near the marina with boat launch. Even closer is the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge with quiet coastal hikes. In the mood to dine out? You’ll find several restaurants on the peninsula, or you can head into town for grouper tacos at the Beach House or alligator bites at Bahama Bob’s. The great view from your private balcony will ensure you’re home in time for sunset. <b>THINGS TO KNOW</b> Some shared amenities may be subject to a small resort fee.
