Best for two families
The Salty Coconut
Sleeps 144 BR4.5 BA
Four bedrooms, each with its own bath, a golf cart, and a dining table built for the big meal.
Thanksgiving · Christmas · New Year’s
Thanksgiving with the doors open to a Gulf breeze. A New Year’s on a quiet peninsula. Two homes that sleep 14 — and two cozy cottages for smaller crews — all managed by the people who own them.
Holidays, by the numbers
Monthly averages for Gulf Shores & Orange Beach, per Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Tourism.
The Salty Coconut gives every bedroom its own bath; A Beta Life has three king suites plus a bunk room for the cousins. Each sleeps 14.
Full kitchens and a dining table for the whole crew — cook the big meal together instead of squeezing into someone’s living room.
Mild afternoons and a quiet beach down the road. The after-dinner walk becomes the tradition everyone remembers.
The Salty Coconut, A Beta Life and Mahalo welcome pets — and unlike Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, Fort Morgan lets leashed dogs on the sand.
The two big homes come with a golf cart — load up the kids and roll down to the sand.
Trade the countdown crowds for a quiet peninsula. Staying into January? See our snowbird and long stays.
