The Gulf Shores Plantation Gulf Shores Public Beach West 13th street public beach access serving: My friends and I are arriving in Gulf Shores the last week of Sept. and need to rent chairs and umbrellas since we are all flying down (we are renting a house thru Meyer RE. )
They gave us the name of Ike's but I was wondering if anyone knew of any other places to rent chairs and umbrellas so I could compare prices. I don't know if they are the only company, but I always rent from Ike's and have never been disappointed. They are always very accomadating. And to me that's worth it. As a matter of fact, I tip whom ever my "cabanna boy" is for the day, at the end of each day. Unless they tell me up front that I will have the same one the whole time, then I tip him on the last day. IT would be cheaper. To buy chairs and umbrellas at wal-mart in gulf shores, You can just throw them away , chair rental runs $25.00 a day plus tip and they take them down early, leaving you with no chairs. I just think it's worth it. If you want partial shade, or full shade, or even full sun..."cabanna boy" he repositions your umbrella as many time as you want. AND he knows how to do it so the umbrella doesn't blow away and kill some body. I guess it all depends on if you want to spend money on a service, or to Do the umbrellas your self, I can do the umbrellas my self...
So I would rather spend money on other things...I called Ike's and found out that 2 chairs/1 umbrella for 6 days is $100. Gulf Coast Beach Rental is about the same - $96 so roughly $50 per person before tip. Not sure of the quality of the chairs and umbrellas at Wal-mart or if they'll fit in our rental car but will check it out. FYI On the Beach rentals, Something to consider The service will NOT put the chairs and umbrella where YOU want. They line them up next to each other in rows and NOT close to the water, So if you want to be aways from everyone else for a while or sit W/ your feet in the water, (which I prefer) you are out of luck. We are skipping GS this year and going to FT Walton, our condo comes W/ beach service, But I still will take my own. Also since you are renting a house you may not have an Cabanna Boy there to move them around for you ,And you may have to wait every morning for them to be delivered if this is the case they will also be picked up BEFORE dark, so you may not have them after dinner.
Unless they let you have them for the week.Then set up is up to you. Call Meyer and see if there are any already @ the house they may be there for you to use. That was what I was trying to say, They take the chairs down by about 5 or so.... And there is so much more beach to enjoy after that.. And we buy the chairs that fit into bags, and wal-mart sells 7 1/2 foot umbrellas that work perfect for two or more... You can even buy a cheap beach tent that works for all, But be warned , don't set it up as tall as it can go, or the wind will take it away.... We just returned last night and we stayed at Martinique and Ike's was at the beach providing their beach rental services....It was $100 for Sunday-Friday for 2 chairs and umbrella....the attendant was amazingly helpful and always asking us if she could adjust the umbrella for us to provide shade for our 3 little ones.....We stayed at the Beach Club last year and Ike's was there also...same price and service......
One destination mentioned in this post Worth it huh lezelsafi? Beach houses ae different than the condo's, The cabana boy stays at the condo, But not at the beach house, so you don't get the same kind of service at a house..
