Many couples are too busy for the traditional week-long vacation and are taking shorter holidays. This presents a challenge when planning a visit to the sea: beach houses are rented only by the week, and condos are neither cozy nor special. We offer flexible arrival and departure dates with very few restrictions: Minimum Stay From March through Labor Day Weekend, as
a rule we have 3-night minimum. Sometimes the patterns of
bookings will permit shorter stays (for example, if a specific room is
available for a 2-night stay between other bookings). Feel free to ask
about visiting for less than 3 nights, but please understand that from March through Labor Day Weekend,
shorter stays are available only in certain circumstances. During the part of the year when we do have a minimum stay
requirement (see above), you may arrive and depart on whatever days you wish with only one exception. As a rule,
we do not permit arrivals or departures on Saturdays.
This is because Saturday arrivals and departures break
up the weekend, and
often leave us with an empty room on popular weekend nights.
While large hotels can accomodate this kind of scheduling,
the fact that we are
a small B&B means that we must try to keep weekends intact. As
with our 3-Night Minimum policy, special circumstances sometimes permit us
to accomodate exceptions. So, if you require Saturday arrival or departure, feel free to ask, but please
understand that Saturday arrivals and departures are available only when we face special scheduling circumstances. Arrival and Departure Times
Typical Plans Many of our guests arrange to take Friday off and leave work a bit early on Thursday. Arrange to arrive in Gulf Shores after 4pm (plenty of time for a swim, a surf walk, and sunset). Spend Thurday evening, all of Friday, all of Saturday, and as much of Sunday morning as you'd like (check-out is 11am). Take off only 1 day from work and enjoy 3 days and 3 nights at the most unique place you'll find. The Short Week Plan Our beach on the Fort Morgan peninsula is never crowded, but it's especially quiet during the week. If you like solitude, this plan is for you. Arrive in Gulf Shores after 4pm Sunday. Spend Sunday evening, all of Monday, all of Tuesday, all of Wednesday, and as much of Thursday morning as you'd like (check-out is 11am). Then, make it through just one day at work and you've got another weekend off. Take only 4 days off from work and get eight days off in a nine day period. The Full Week Plan If you do have a whole week to spend, then lucky you! Stay for a full week and get the 7th night free. For less than the cost of renting an ordinary house, you get the luxury you prefer and all the food and drink we provide. The Week-and-a-Half Plan Sometimes a week at the beach just isn't enough. By taking a 5-day work week off, plus one additional day, you can turn just six vacation days into ten nights of seaside relaxation. And because you'll be staying for a week or more, your rate includes one free night. Flexible Plans These four plans (above) are only examples. If you desire different arrival and/or departure days, we are happy to accommodate your needs. The only restrictions are our 3-night minimum and the restriction on Saturday arrivals and departures. (Sometimes, special circumstances permit us to waive these restrictions. Feel free to ask, but please understand that these are our normal policies, and that we can waive them only when we face special circumstances in our bookings.)
