Really big, really nice, beachfront homes and duplexes that can house your entire team in one location, in comfort, and style! Why stay in a hotel when the whole volleyball team can stay in a nice beachfront home?
Gulf Shores, Alabama was chosen for the inaugural NCAA Beach Volleyball Tournament, and your college is in the mix! You need housing for the volleyball tournament, right? Why not stay in one of our beachfront vacation rental homes? They are large enough to house everyone in comfort, and, when split across the team, they cost the same or less than many area hotels (and are much nicer!).
