On Golden Pond 3B
1506 Sandpiper Lane #3B, Gulf Shores

At 3 Bedrooms and sleeping 10, one side of On Golden Pond 3 is the smallest, and most cost-efficient, of my places. Yet its cute, comfy, and a perfect place to spend your vacay! This listing is for the B unit of On Golden Pond #3.

OGP3A: Nice 3BR for less than a hotel! Community Pool. Dock. Quiet. Relax... for less! Can also be rented as a very affordable 6BR 6BA in the middle of Gulf Shores West Beach.

If you need a really nice smaller home, on a budget, OGP3 is perfect! Most seasons, it is less than the cost of a single hotel room per night, yet located in the middle of West Beach, lagoon side (nice shared dock and pool!), and only a short walk (1/4 mile) to the beach (you walk right next to my Seafoam home!).

3BR 3BA. OGP3 is lagoon side, however, it is not lagoon front (like my OGP5 home is). Easy access to the community dock, beach, and pool all right on the lagoon. Nice! And a nice price!

Looking for something a little smaller than most of my properties? Just as nice though! And at a great price!? OGP3 may be the perfect place for you!

On Golden Pond #3, aka OGP3, is a beautiful vacation home with easy access to the community dock, beach, and pool all right on the lagoon. OGP3 is on a private cul de sac shared by mostly owner occupied homes. OGP3 is not lagoon front though you can see the lagoon from the front deck for your little peak at the water in the evenings. OGP3 is the north side of a duplex (no shared living spaces) and we know the owners of the other side if you are interested in both, we are happy to reach out. If you want lagoon front, and a little bigger, check out my On Golden Pond #5 home!

This vacation home also features covered parking and access to the dock, pool, and beach. This unit is a tremendous value.

Each side of this lagoon side 3 bedroom, 3 bath duplex home has the following bedding:

BEDDING:
Main Floor Bedroom: King
3rd Floor E Bedroom: Twin over Full Bunk
3rd Floor W Bedroom: King

Main Floor Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa
3rd Floor Lounge Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa

NICE COMMUNITY POOL, FISHING DOCK, AND BEACH
The pool is on the lagoon. Great views of lagoon, pier, dock, while relaxing poolside. The pool is a 24x14x3-5' Community Pool. There's even a small lagoon, sand, beach right by the pool!

Fishing too from the nice community fishing pier and dock.

GULF BEACH ACCESS
Public beach access is a 3 minute walk on a quiet road, then across west beach (as a crosswalk), right next to my Seafoam home! There is ALSO a lagoon front beach by our community pool. MORE? Yes. You can take the new pedestrian walkway from the road outside our home to the Calloway Bridge (and the public beach there too!). Nice walk along the lagoon!

PARKING
There is available onsite parking for at least 4 cars. In fact, you could park more cars than you should be driving for a 10 person place! Inquire if you have special vehicle needs.

WIFI/INTERNET
YES! We have an awesome Eero mesh network to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home!? That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like? It is generally solid and ran > 250Mb down the last test--sufficient for several simultaneous video conference sessions for remote work and education. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests "troubleshooting" it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though, and likely better since its close in and new construction!

SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, ETC ETC
As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a "starter supply" of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, grills are not provided, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have drip coffee makers and most now have Keurigs as well.

PETS
We do consider well-behaved canine furry friends. This requires owner pre-approval, and is subject to a pet fee (currently $250 per pet). Please inquire.

No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

That's it! We think you'll have a great stay in our home. Reach out and let us know how we can help!

SNOWBIRDS! Up to 2/3rds off for off-season stays of 28 days or longer.
