Gulf Shores Surf & Racquet Club is a beachfront condominium resort complex at 1905 West Beach Boulevard in Gulf Shores, Alabama, on the Gulf of Mexico. The property sits directly on the Alabama Gulf Coast shoreline, offering guests immediate beach access from the complex grounds along with a self-contained roster of recreational amenities well-suited to extended family vacations or leisure getaways along Alabama's celebrated white-sand beaches.
The complex consists of individually owned condominium units available for vacation rental in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom configurations. The condominium ownership structure means individual units vary in furnishing style and level of interior finish, though all units include kitchen or kitchenette facilities, living areas, and either balcony or patio access to the outdoors. These kitchen facilities make the property particularly practical for families or groups planning to prepare some meals during multi-night stays, significantly reducing overall vacation costs compared to full-service resort stays.
Shared amenities include a beachfront pool, an additional interior pool, tennis courts, BBQ grilling areas, and coin-operated laundry facilities for guests on longer visits. The complex's position on West Beach Boulevard places it within easy driving distance of Gulf Shores dining, shopping, and entertainment options, including Gulf State Park's beach access points, Waterville USA waterpark, and the town's retail corridor on Gulf Shores Parkway.
The complex attracts a loyal return visitor base among Alabama families and Southeast regional travelers who value the combination of beachfront access, kitchen self-sufficiency, and competitive nightly rates. Rates for available units range from $120 to $300 per night depending on unit size, season, and individual owner pricing. Peak summer season from Memorial Day through Labor Day commands the highest rates and earliest booking. Availability and direct booking contacts vary by unit owner; multiple third-party vacation rental platforms commonly list available units at the complex.

- Book summer weeks as early as January or February; peak-season availability is very limited at popular beachfront complexes
- Bring or rent beach chairs and umbrellas separately, as the complex does not typically provide them at the shoreline
- Gulf State Park, immediately east along the coast, offers excellent hiking, bird watching, and fishing pier access as a complement to beach time
