A covered staircase leads you to the two level-spacious open floor plan in Gulf Shores, AL. The location is ideal with it being in Laguna Key, a quiet, gated community. The community has the best of both worlds with the lagoon on the north side and the Beach on the south side. Explore the lagoon while kayaking. Enjoy the community resort style pool, tennis court, and fishing pier only steps away. Soak up the tranquility that the peaceful, Bon Secour Wildlife preserve offers right next door. This brand new, beautifully furnished beach home boasts two King sweets, a queen suite, and three queen beds in the kids room. Each bedroom has its own private full bath. Gather around for a scrumptious meal in the fully equipped kitchen. Don't forget about the outdoor grill, 2 laundry rooms, many flat screen TV's, and beach supplies to use on your trip. You can enjoy your morning coffee on one of the many outdoor balconies while overlooking the peaceful lagoon. This house is not childproof, but children are more than welcome to stay and will need supervised at all times. This is a great place to make lasting memories for families and friends!

During the day there are endless attractions nearby including: 22 miles of white sandy beaches, canoeing, a fishing pier, shopping, go-karts, golfing, kayaking, the zoo, Gulf Shores State Park, charter boats, and a waterpark. Don't forget to take a evening cruise and catch some dolphins playing in their natural habitat. Check out some music in the evenings at many local restaurants, bars, or the unforgettable FLORA-BAMA performance by Jack.

If you are ready for some fun in the sun, we have the perfect place for you.

LOOK AT ME!! HIDDEN GEM!
Family vacation with kids and grandkids

We just love staying here with our family of 11. Kids love the swings. Lots of beach toys that they enjoyed on the beach. We love that there is an ice maker, 2 washers and dryers and everything you need to fix meals. The house is the perfect size so no one felt they were on top of each other. Owner are very kind and quick to respond if you need anything. We will definitely keep coming here to stay.

Relaxing

Another wonderful and relaxing trip to Gulf Shores. We have been coming to Gulf Shores for 37 years. Since Callista was built, we haven't stayed any place else. This place has everything you could possible need. The place is beautiful and the perfect place for a couple trip or family trip. The pool is very close to the house and the beach is a short walk. The ice maker, washers and dryers, beach chairs, wagon, coolers, and beach towels are all provided. Packing is minimal because of all the things provided. This place is a gem. Absolutely love the virandas with swings and rockers. Can't wait for June when we will be back with the family.

Beautiful

The home is beautiful and comfortable. The app made the whole process super easy. The short walk to the beach is super easy and the beach is very quiet.

Great Stay!

Beautiful home in quiet, gated community. Perfect setup for our group of 4 couples. Easy access to restaurants and other attractions but far enough away to not feel crowded. More beach and water toys than anyone could use in our 3 day stay.
Steph was fantastic throughout the rental process. She was quick to answer any question, always responding within hours if not minutes.
Would definitely do it again.

Wonderful place!!

My 3rd time staying here this year. I can't say enough good things about this place and the owners. A quiet gated community, stocked kitchen. Beach cart, beach toys, beach towels all provided. 4 kayaks and life jackets, 2 washers and dryers, coolers, large seperate ice maker to fill coolers are all provided. The 4 verandas are so relaxing with swings and rockers. Can't wait for our next stay here!

Family Vacation

We stayed at the Calista while on our week long vacation in Gulf Shores. The Calista had everything to accommodate the whole family and was in the perfect location being walking distance to the beach! The owners truly built this house knowing that it would bring so much joy to those staying for their vacation and were so helpful with anything we needed. Will definitely be going back! Been there 2 times already in one year…I would say that means a lot about the place!

Callista is my home away from home!

This house is absolutely awesome! We have stayed in Gulf Shores for many years and this house has everything! My favorite parts of the house are the kitchen with a big ice maker, a washer and dryer on each level and the privacy that the community offers. I feel like my kids are safe and the community pool is so convenient. The private beach is just a short walk. We love it!

Family of 11 vacay

My 4th time staying at Callista. This time we brought our kids and their families. 6 adults and 5 young kids. So much space. We didn't feel crowded at all. Everyone loved the porches and swings. The kids loved that they had their own bedroon with a bathroom and TV! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to fix meals for our crew. Having 2 washers and dryers was amazing with 11 people. The ice machine was awesome for filling our coolers. Not having to bring beach carts and chairs was very nice. Lots of beach toys were there for the kids. The owners respond immediately if you have questions or issues. We definitely want to make this an annual family vacay. My husband and I will be back down soon!

Home away from Home

We enjoyed our stay so much. Callista is a beautiful home that truly made us feel like we were home away from home for the week. It is warm and cozy and provided all our needs. Easy access to the beach and pool , the neighborhood is beautiful and peaceful, the garage is full of beach goodies and when we weren’t in the water we were enjoying the kitchen and family time in the l living room. We loved all the big windows and Our girls spent so much time swinging on the patio. We look forward to staying here again.

Perfect family vacation rental!

We stayed at Callista this past week with our family and had the best time! The house was very clean on arrival and the kitchen was well stocked for preparing meals. We thought the location was perfect. Just a short walk to the private beach and having access to the community pool was nice. We liked being a little further away from the busy main strip. We’d love to come back and stay at Callista again next year!
