The Space:

Ocean Reef 402 | Gulf Shores, Alabama



Come on in, settle down, and make yourself at home at Ocean Reef 402, a laid-back 2-bedroom, 1-bath Gulf Shores vacation condo tucked inside a low-rise beachside community along West Beach Boulevard.



Here, Gulf Shores is right outside your door.



Spend your mornings walking down to the sand, cool off in the community pool during the afternoon, and head out on foot for dinner, drinks, live music, shopping, or an evening at The Hangout. When you are ready to slow things down, come home to a comfortable coastal retreat with room for up to 8 guests.



Ocean Reef 402 is especially well suited for families, couples, small groups, festival weekends, beach getaways, and guests who want to spend less time in the car and more time enjoying Gulf Shores.



This is not a towering high-rise resort. Ocean Reef is a smaller, low-density condominium community, giving your stay a relaxed, classic Gulf Shores feel while keeping you close to many of the area's most popular attractions.

LIVING ROOM

After a long day on the beach, the living room gives everyone a comfortable place to gather.

The space includes a sleeper sofa, additional seating, a coffee table, television, and sliding-door access to the patio. Whether you are catching up over coffee in the morning, relaxing between beach trips, or winding down with a movie after dinner, the living area is designed to be an easy home base during your Gulf Shores stay.



The sleeper sofa also provides additional sleeping space for two guests.



DINING AREA

The dining area features a glass-top table with seating where your group can gather for breakfast before heading to the beach, enjoy an easy family dinner, play cards, or spread out the day's plans.

The open living and dining arrangement keeps everyone connected while still giving the condo distinct areas for eating, relaxing, and unwinding.

Prefer breakfast at home before heading to the Gulf?

Ocean Reef 402 includes a fully equipped kitchen so you can prepare everything from morning coffee and quick beach snacks to a full family meal.

PRIMARY BEDROOM

The primary bedroom offers a comfortable king-size bed and a quieter place to retreat at the end of the evening.

Step through to the private patio and enjoy Gulf Coast air along with an indirect southwest Gulf view.



The patio includes outdoor seating, making it a lovely spot for morning coffee or a few quiet minutes before heading out for the day.

Please note that Ocean Reef 402 is not a direct Gulf-front condo. The unit offers pool and surrounding-property views along with partial or indirect glimpses of the Gulf.

We would rather you know exactly what to expect before you arrive.



GUEST BEDROOM

The second bedroom is especially practical for children, siblings, or additional friends traveling together.

It includes:

Full-over-twin bunk bed

Separate twin bed

Mounted television

This room can accommodate up to four guests while keeping the sleeping area separate from the main living room.



BATHROOM

Ocean Reef 402 has one full bathroom shared by the condo.

The bathroom includes a tub/shower combination, vanity, toilet, and wall-mounted hair dryer.

For groups traveling with the full eight-person occupancy, please plan accordingly for the single-bathroom setup.



PRIVATE OUTDOOR SPACE

One of the pleasures of staying at the coast is being able to step outside and feel the Gulf air.

The primary bedroom provides access to a private patio with outdoor seating and an indirect Gulf view.

The living area also connects to outdoor space overlooking the Ocean Reef property and pool area.

These are partial and indirect Gulf views rather than unobstructed Gulf-front views, an important distinction for guests comparing Gulf Shores vacation rentals.



BEACH ACCESS

The beach is one of the biggest reasons to stay at Ocean Reef.

The condominium community sits on the Gulf/beach side of West Beach Boulevard, allowing you to walk through the property toward the beach rather than packing the car every time you want your toes in the sand.

Leave the cooler in the condo, grab what you need for the beach, and head down for a morning walk, afternoon swim, sunset, or a full day along the shoreline.

Ocean Reef enjoys approximately 200 feet of Gulf beach frontage, giving guests convenient access to the sand and water.



COMMUNITY POOL



Not every beach day has to be spent in the Gulf.



Guests also have access to the shared outdoor courtyard pool, where you can cool off between beach trips or relax poolside closer to the condo.

Pool seating is available around the community pool area.

Please remember that the pool is a shared condominium amenity and is not private to Unit 402.

Pool operations, maintenance closures, and rules are controlled by the condominium association.



GRILLING & PICNIC AREA



Ocean Reef also offers a shared outdoor area with charcoal grills and picnic tables.



It is a convenient option for casual lunches, burgers after the beach, or a relaxed Gulf Coast dinner without having to leave the property.



Grills and picnic areas are shared with other Ocean Reef owners and guests.



SHARED LAUNDRY

Laundry facilities at Ocean Reef are shared community laundry facilities rather than a private washer and dryer located inside Unit 402.

This is especially important for guests planning longer stays.



Guest Access:

Guests have private access to Ocean Reef 402 during their reservation along with access to eligible shared Ocean Reef amenities.



Your stay includes access to:



Entire 2-bedroom condo

Private living and dining areas

Full kitchen

Private outdoor patio areas

Shared outdoor swimming pool

Poolside seating

Shared charcoal grilling area

Picnic tables

Shared laundry facilities

Ocean Reef beach access

Covered assigned parking

Free WiFi

ACCESSIBILITY & STAIRS

There is no elevator at Ocean Reef.



Guests with mobility limitations, difficulty navigating stairs, large amounts of luggage, strollers, or other accessibility concerns should consider this carefully before booking.



Once inside, the condo itself is arranged on one interior level.
