The story below rings true. It sounds exactly like what you can expect in a Gulf Shores vacation. Plenty of warm sunshine and relaxation. The kind of vacation you learn to love. The kind of vacation that doesn't wear you out, but rather rejuvenates you.
It's rare the Gulf Shores vacationer who doesn't come away wanting to return as soon as possible. It's rare the Gulf Shores vacationer who doesn't come back again and again. This easy-going, relax and get your life on the right track atmosphere is why the Gulf Coast has become one of the most popular vacation destinations today.
Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
Having enjoyed a wonderful spring break a few years back at Gulf Shores, Ala., we longed to return.
When I received an e-mail about a couple that was looking to rent out their condo in Gulf Shores, our destination was assured.
...
We arrived at the third-floor condo - easy up, easy down. The Gulf of Mexico was just out back. The view from the balcony was magnificent.
Each day, my wife and kids swam in the Gulf while I read, went for a jog, toiled away on my laptop, and watched World Cup soccer games...
In the evenings, we tossed the Frisbee, played Kadima (two paddles and a ball) and played volleyball.
We shopped, ate at some nice places, watched TV, hunted around town for wireless Internet access and walked on the beach at night.
On the way back to Marion, we all agreed that this was one of our most relaxing vacations ever.
