Making Your Stay Comfortable

Whether visiting Gulf Shores & Orange Beach for a sporting event, spending the weekend golfing with friends, or vacationing for a week with the family, you’ll need a comfortable place to stay. Fortunately, Alabama’s Gulf Coast offers several accommodations settings, ranging from hotel rooms for weekend guests on a quick getaway to resort-style condominiums for longer stays.

One notable vacation rental company, and a sponsor of the Alabama Gulf Coast Sports Commission, is Brett/Robinson. With two hotels, several beach houses, and numerous condominium properties available to rent, Brett/Robinson has an option for anyone vacationing in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach. In addition to vacation rentals, the company offers money-saving deals and vacation packages, including free-night specials and golf packages.

Kaiser Realty, Inc., another Sports Commission sponsor, also specializes in vacation rentals, as well as real estate sales. The company aids temporary visitors in the renting of condos and beach homes in a variety of locations throughout the Alabama Gulf Coast. Kaiser Realty also assists in real estate sales for those who wish to stay permanently, and offers a property management program for property owners interested in renting out their beach homes and condos.

And shedding a little light on the whole experience is Baldwin EMC, another Alabama Gulf Coast Sports Commission sponsor and provider of electric services in and around Gulf Shores & Orange Beach. In addition to providing electricity to private residences and businesses in the area, Baldwin EMC also sells energy products such as CFL light bulbs and electric grills, provides energy-saving resources, and performs personalized energy audits.

Thanks to all three sponsors for their support and services!
