Welcome to When Pigs Fly – Your Gulf Shores Vacation Getaway!
Enjoy the luxury of a private pool and short walk to the beautiful Gulf Shores beaches at our beach duplex. Located just two rows from the Gulf, our duplex offers stunning views and is perfect for a relaxing vacation. The pool is exclusive to the duplex and can be heated from October through May for $60 per day. The fenced pool area includes gates on each deck, making it safe for pets, and we welcome up to 2 dogs for an additional pet fee of $348.
When Pigs Fly is a stacked duplex, with one floor situated above the other. Both floors feature the same layout, with the upstairs unit offering an added bonus – a Rooftop Crow's Nest with panoramic views of the beach and Little Lagoon. The duplex is available as a whole rental, except for January and February. With a total of 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms (3 bedrooms and 2 baths per unit), it comfortably accommodates 12-16 guests (maximum 12 adults).
Each unit includes:
Spacious living area with French doors leading to a wide, beach-view covered porch
Fully equipped kitchen
Large king primary bedroom with TV, private bath, and French doors to a beach-view porch
2 queen bedrooms
Queen sleeper sofa (upstairs) and 2 twin air mattresses available (downstairs upon request)
Full-size laundry room
Smaller porch with views of the lagoon
Free Wi-Fi
The upper unit features a jetted tub in the primary bathroom, an under-counter ice maker in the kitchen island, and stairs leading to the Rooftop Crow's Nest. Both units have covered porches perfect for enjoying the views, Gulf breezes, and the sound of the surf.
Outdoor Amenities:
Private pool with poolside table, chairs, and lounge chairs
Charcoal grill and shaded picnic table under the house
Access to beach chairs, beach carts, and pool toys for your convenience
Located in the quiet West Beach area of Gulf Shores, our duplex is just 2.3 miles west of Hwy 59. This part of West Beach is free from condos and crowds, with only four rows of houses between the Gulf and Little Lagoon. You’ll be close to restaurants, shopping, including a major outlet center, local attractions, and just a block away from a great fishing spot.
This property is not available for rental to groups under the age of 25 or for bachelor or bachelorette parties. For the Hangout Music Festival, a $1000 refundable damage/cleaning deposit is required to ensure the property is maintained as expected.

Aside from these smaller issues, I would still recommend 'When Pigs Fly'. Great location, more than satisfactory amenities, and a decent value overall.

Just about perfect
Great stay at When Pigs Fly
PERFECT GIRLS TRIP GETAWAY
A few improvements we think would have made the house even better:
-more beach chairs (only 3 at house)
-foam pool floats instead of inflatable kind
-simple pantry items (cooking oil, flour/sugar, spices)
Overall though we were all VERY pleased with the home and can't wait to plan our next girls trip back!
Perfect spot for our extended family getaway!
2015 family vacation in the sun
Highly recommend for group getaway
Fabulous Family Vacation!
Staying at WHEN PIGS FLY on the Gulf
A couple issues came up with some leaks but were taken care of very quickly.
Although it was Spring Break we found the kids to extremely polite. Is it that wonderful Southern Culture?
Great home for multiple families!
Beautiful home with great location, view, and pool
Perfect Family House
Great Home Away From Home!!
Very nice stay

FAQs
Leave Only Footprints: the clean beach ordinance requires that everything be removed by sunset each evening. Beach patrol will remove any items left on the beach, and you will not be able to retrieve them. If you are in a beachfront home you may leave items at the base of your dune walkover.
We accept reservations up to 51 weeks before arrival. We do maintain a waiting list for summer weeks and holidays and can contact you if, before that time, we hear your requested beach home will be available.Â
