You’re just 1 block from a sugar-white stretch of sand at this beautifully updated 3BR/2.5BA Gulf Shores house, affectionately known as “Anchor Up”. Gather on two private decks; one with Little Lagoon views and amazing sunsets, the other with Gulf views and constant sea breezes. Or enjoy the shade in an entertaining space beneath the house, complete with a picnic table, gas grill, and a spacious yard for the kids to play. Additional highlights include a stylish kitchen with stainless steel appliances as well as a large open living and dining area. The house is also just a short walk to the nearest coastal eatery, grocery store, shops, and downtown Gulf Shores.
