Tell us a little (or a lot) about your home and the people who live there: Gulf Shores has never been known for its diversity amongst its visitors and locals. Our B & B offers a safe space for everyone, especially minorities groups to come and vacation.
The beach retreat is named after my son, Nicholas. Nicholas is such a water baby and has a shared love with me for the beach. The beach retreat was created as a safe space for people of all ages and backgrounds to come and enjoy.
Our ocean front beach retreat, located in the Fort Morgan area of Gulf Shores, Alabama. It is an oceanfront condo, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Find yourself enjoying our zen garden on the balcony with unobstructed views of the gulf, or surrounded by pink flamingo wallpaper and a neon selfie wall. This two bedroom gram-worthy gem is tucked away on the quiet end of the beach. Check out our Instagram.
Inspired by our travels and decor that we admire around the world, My Beach Retreat by Nick is your eclectic jungalow retreat out in Gulf Shores. Our newly renovated kitchen is a home cook’s dream, but if you did not come on vacation to cook, the Sassy Bass Grill can serve up breakfast, lunch and dinner. We are currently listed on Airbnb, VRBO, Tripadvisor, Peerspace, Dwell, and Alabama Vacation Home Rentals.

What is your favorite room and why? The balcony. I’ve created a zen area with a swing and gulf views. It’s so peaceful and a great place to recharge.

Any advice for creating a home you love? Yes. Don’t skimp on luxury bedding, mattresses, and linens. Make your home feel so comfortable that you never want to leave.
