There are two schools of thought on Valentine’s Day, with one side believing that it is just a holiday created to sell greeting cards and the other wholeheartedly believing it is the perfect time to show your love to that special person. It doesn’t matter what side of the fence you fall on, however; this middle of February holiday is the perfect time to explore all the white sand beaches of Gulf Shores (and surrounding towns) can bring you. Your Valentine’s Day journey will be one that is remembered forever when you choose one of our Poole & Associates holiday hideaways, filled with comfort, style, and many, many ways to relax and fall in love. This guide will help you find the one you will want to make your own. Here’s what to expect with our Valentine’s Day Rentals on Gulf Shores.

Keeping It Cozy
Although we offer all sizes of homes and condos here in Alabama, you will probably want your romantic escape to be a cozy one, perhaps looking at our 1- and 2-bedroom retreats. Offering all the same amenities and comforts as our larger properties, just on a smaller footprint, couples can explore all the amenities while sticking close to each other, or they can enjoy their own space, perhaps stepping out onto patios that look out over the turquoise waters of the gulf, breathing in salty air and savoring the solitude and serenity. Of course, watching the sunset from the same balcony is an activity designed for two, so if it is getting close to the magic hour, be sure to go back inside, grab your valentine by the hand, and encourage more moments of togetherness as the sun turns the sky to fire before falling into the clear waters of the sea. And although our 1-bedroom retreats are the coziest of all, having the spare bedroom to use as an office in case work can’t be ignored during your romantic escape to Gulf Shores.
Designed for Romance
The individual spaces of our cozy condos will offer romantic appeal in a variety of ways. Living rooms with plush sofas encourage guests to sink into their depths, cuddling close together as state of the art televisions play a selection of rom coms. Your winter visit can get a little chilly, and there is no more romantic way to stay warm than with a roaring fire and some of our romantic love nests will offer a fireplace in the living room. In our oceanfront properties, the most romantic of all the properties, you can see the Gulf of Mexico without having to go out on that balcony we mentioned earlier, but that doesn’t mean you should stay inside your entire visit. The salt air, the sound of the sea, and the beauty of blue skies and golden sun will make those outdoor spaces your favorite.
Food Is the Language of Love
You will want to explore the culinary landscape of Gulf Shores, taking the time to dine at fine restaurants and to let someone else cook, serve, and prepare your meals, but the fully equipped kitchens offer newlyweds or new couples of any relationship type, get to know each other better. What does she love, what does he hate, and how well do you work together as a team? Are you going to be the sous chef to his head chef or will you both work together on equal terms? And as you putter around these cheerful spaces, creating meals that will become memories you cherish, and years from now will become a part of your family history.
Meals for Two
Once you have prepared your romantic meal a deux, devouring it in the dining room located just steps away is obviously the next step in this dance of love, but don’t stop there. Candlelit dinners, fine wine, and a good meal are just the beginning of all the ways you can enjoy this room. Sharing coffee in the mornings as the world comes awake around you, playing cards on a rainy night, and because the tables are large, using one end as a puzzle building station, dumping the pieces out of the box and working together to complete it before trip’s end. Romance isn’t always candles and fancy meals, it can be these quiet moments spent in play and conversation that can make the largest impact in your relationship.
The Luxury of Community Amenities
Not only will you not have to sacrifice any creature comforts by choosing a 1- or 2-bedroom condo, you will gain access to all the community amenities, and everyone knows that the couple who plays together stays together. Soak together in the community hot tub, feeling the cool winter air kissing your nose and cheeks as the rest of your body is warm and toasty under the bubbling water’s surface. There are community pools and some may even be heated, but it is still a little too chilly for pool time in the winter months, so we recommend a return visit in the summer if you would like to splash around the pool or in the salty waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Some communities may offer sports courts, including tennis and/or basketball, others may provide a fitness center where you two can spot each other while lifting weights. And when the night air gets too chilly but you aren’t quite ready to end the evening, some communities offer fire pits for added warmth and romance.
