This is where Resting Beach Face really earns its name, and going inside is completely optional. The screened in patio is basically your vacation headquarters: TV, bar, lounge area, coffee maker and ceiling fan. Morning coffee? Yep. Afternoon cocktails? Obviously. Morning Cocktails? Perhaps. Afternoon coffee? Why not. Look, nobody is judging you here! Watching TV while pretending you're enjoying "nature"? We support that too! Out front, grab an Adirondack chair, light the fire pit, claim the hammock or fire up the BBQ. Feeling competitive? we've got cornhole, yard pong and grannie pants- because apparently, regular yard games weren't embarrassing enough. Too hot? Pick one of two resort style pools (one pool only 30 steps away from the bungalow). Certainly you didn't come all this way not to get sand between the toes! The beach is just 180 seconds away. Yes we timed it. Seriously we did. And honestly, "3 minutes" sounded way less fun. Grab the beach wagon, all the beach gear, cooler and go fly a kite! Finally, when you're ready to retreat from humanity, just know that you are staying on one of the most private lots in the Rookery 3. So, Grill something. Sip Something. Fly something. Play something. Float somewhere. Repeat as necessary.

Kick back, spread out and get comfortable. Plenty of room for the whole crew, a Smart TV for movie nights, and a stash of books, games and family favorites for when you’re ready to unplug—or the Alabama weather decides beach time is temporarily canceled. Loaded for lounging, laughing and doing absolutely nothing productive.

Your own little escape from the people you voluntarily brought on vacation. Stretch out in the king bed, catch up on your favorite show, or close the door and enjoy a little peace and quiet.

Need to pretend you’re working? You’ve got a dedicated workspace with a sit/stand desk, monitor, keyboard and printer ready to go. You’ll also find convenient phone-charging stations so nobody has to crawl behind the furniture hunting for an outlet.

And because apparently vacations require approximately 47 towels and blankets, we keep plenty of extra linens on hand too.

Sleep. Work. Recharge. Hide from your family. This room multitasks almost as well as you do.

Your private bathroom right off The Salty Suite—because sharing a bathroom with the whole vacation crew is where we draw the line.

Start the day without fighting for mirror space, and wash off the sunscreen, sand and whatever else followed you home from the beach. You’ll find fresh bath towels, hand towels and washcloths, plus plenty of extra linens so nobody has to start rationing towels halfway through the trip.

We’ve stocked the little things too, including toiletries and bathroom essentials for those inevitable “I swear I packed it” moments.

Plenty of storage and counter space gives you room to unpack your stuff instead of living out of a toiletry bag all week.

Shower. Get ready. Wash off the beach. Hide from your family for ten minutes. We don’t judge what happens behind a locked bathroom door on vacation.

Fully stocked, fully functional, and dangerously close to making you think you enjoy cooking on vacation.

The kitchen has stainless appliances, granite counters, dishwasher, dual coffee maker with frother, extra ice maker, air fryer, crockpot, roaster, indoor grill, cookware, dishes, utensils, and all the everyday basics you actually need.

There’s plenty of space to prep breakfast, throw together beach lunches, cook a full dinner, or just stand at the counter eating leftovers straight from the container like a civilized vacationer.

We’ve stocked the little things too, so you’re not buying an entire bottle of something because the recipe called for one teaspoon.

Cook if you want. Order takeout if you don’t. Either way, the kitchen is ready.

You can't expect to look at Beach house pictures and not see a beach picture! Only 6 blocks from the house. Walk. Drive. Rent a golf cart. Simple navigation- at the exit of the Rookery3, turn right, take your first left and walllllaaaa- Your there! Dog Friendly and way less crowed than any other beaches. SSSSSHHHHHHH!

This bedroom gives you a king-size bed, two nightstands, a dresser, and plenty of room to actually unpack instead of living out of a suitcase all week.

You’ll also find a phone-charging station so nobody has to unplug a lamp just to resurrect their battery.

Need an extra sleeping spot? There’s a twin rollaway tucked in the closet, ready when you need it and out of the way when you don’t.

Fresh linens are provided, along with extra bedding and plenty of spare linens for those inevitable “somebody stole all the blankets” moments.

It’s comfortable, roomy, and perfect for couples, grandparents, or whoever called dibs on the second king bed first.

Big bed. Extra bed. Plenty of storage. Zero sleeping-bag nonsense.

Your main bathroom, stocked for everything from getting ready for dinner to rinsing off an entire beach worth of sand.

Step into the shower with a rain-style showerhead that makes washing off the sunscreen, salt and sand feel a little less like a chore and a little more like vacation.

You’ll find fresh bath towels, hand towels, washcloths and plenty of extra linens, plus beach and pool towels ready for your Gulf and pool adventures. Please save the fluffy bath towels for indoors—we’ve already sacrificed the beach towels to the sand gods.

We also keep a stash of those “I KNOW I packed that…” essentials on hand for the little things that inevitably get left sitting on the bathroom counter at home.

Plenty of storage and counter space means you can unpack, spread out and actually get ready without living out of a toiletry bag.

Rain shower, fresh towels, beach towels, backup essentials and room to get yourself together. Basically, we’ve got you covered from sandy toes to date-night ready.

Built for kids, Adult kids, cousins, friends—or whoever claims the best bunk first, or the short straw.

This fun, flexible bedroom has two full-size bunks plus a twin trundle, giving everyone a comfortable place to crash after a full day of beach, pool and Gulf Shores adventures.

There’s a 55-inch Smart TV for movie nights and downtime, a dresser for extra storage, and even more clever storage built right into the bunk steps—because somehow the smallest guests always arrive with the most stuff.

A phone-charging station keeps everybody powered up, and we keep extra linens, blankets and bedding on hand so nobody has to start negotiating over covers at bedtime.

Big bunks, bonus trundle, extra linens, tons of storage and a giant TV. Basically, sleepover energy without having to clean your house afterward.

When the sun goes down, Resting Beach Face turns on the charm. The house glows, the evening cools off, and suddenly nobody’s in a hurry to go anywhere.

Take advantage of the firepit, adirondack chairs, hammock and barbecue pit, pour something cold, kick your feet up and settle in for one of those Gulf Shores nights that somehow lasts just long enough.

Come for the beach. Stay for the glow.

The Patio with Perks. Coffee in the morning, cocktails at night, and plenty of room to kick back in between. This screened-in patio has a coffee maker, bar with barstools, sofa, two comfy chairs, TV, ceiling fan, and string lights that make the whole space feel extra cozy after dark.

Start your morning with coffee at the bar, cool off under the fan after the beach, or settle in with a drink while the string lights come on and the frogs start their nightly concert.

Morning brew, evening pour, cool breeze, twinkle lights, and nature handling the soundtrack.

Everything you need to play bartender without leaving the house. This little cocktail station is stocked with the tools for mixing, shaking and blending your vacation drinks, including a blender, martini shaker, bar tools and drink-making essentials.

Make margaritas. Shake martinis. Blend something frozen. Pour something simple.

You bring the booze. We’ve got the bartender toys.

Yep, it’s really that close. One of Rookery III’s resort-style pools is only about 20 steps from Resting Beach Face, which means no loading up the car, no long trek, and no hearing “Are we there yet?” before you’ve even left the neighborhood.

Grab your towel, sunscreen and something cold, walk a few steps, and you’re poolside.

Perfect for morning swims, afternoon cool-downs, lazy float sessions, or sneaking in one more dip before dinner.

Close enough to be ridiculously convenient. Far enough that you still get to call it an outing.

A little farther stroll, a whole lot more pool. Pool Two has something for everybody with a zero-entry pool, kiddie pool, sun loungers, and a small clubhouse for when you need a break from the sun.

It’s perfect for families with little ones, easy in-and-out lounging, or spending the afternoon floating while somebody else handles snack duty.

One minute from the house, zero excuses not to use it.

Because you can't do a gulf shores Beach Stay without meeting a few of the locals.

Room for the whole crew. The dining table seats up to 10 guests with extension leaves stored right underneath, and extra chairs are tucked away in the bedrooms when you need them. There’s also a highchair for the littlest member of the group.

Perfect for big breakfasts, seafood dinners, game nights, takeout spreads, or sitting around long after dinner because nobody feels like moving yet.

Add the leaves, pull up the chairs, and make room for everybody.

One of the best parts of the Gulf Coast is never knowing who might show up. Sea turtles, shorebirds, seahorses and other coastal locals make this place pretty special. Admire them, give them space, and enjoy the kind of wildlife encounters you definitely don’t get in a hotel lobby.
