Summer

Summer is the warmest time of year in Gulf Shores. Visitors to our vacation home rentals during June, July, and August can expect temperatures to range from 70 to 90 degrees. This is the perfect season to enjoy outdoor activities like swimming, paddle boarding, hiking, and more! Summer is the wettest season here. Luckily, you’ll typically experience quick afternoon showers that bring cooler evenings. 

Fall 

Many people choose to visit our Gulf Shores vacation condo rentals in the fall to experience slightly cooler conditions. During September, October, and November, temperatures can range from 50 to 90 degrees! Often, September still feels like summer, while November can feel like winter in the mornings and evenings. You won’t have to worry about rain too much, but we’d still recommend bringing a light jacket if you want to head outside when it’s a bit cooler. 

Winter

In many areas, winter means snow. Not when you’re staying in our Gulf Shores rentals on the beach! During the months of December, January, and February, you can expect temperatures to stay between 45 and 70 degrees. While you’ll definitely need to pack some long pants and a jacket, you can leave the umbrella at home, since this season is typically quite dry. Plan to visit some of the indoor activities of the area, like the impressive shops, restaurants, and museums! 

Spring

Last but not least is spring, when the city comes to life and offers plenty to do for guests in our Gulf Shores beach rentals. March, April, and May tend to see a wide range of temperatures, ranging from 45 to 85 degrees. In March, things start to slowly warm up, but by the time May comes around, it’s already starting to feel like summer. Spring also tends to bring many fun festivals and celebrations to the area, offering something new to do every day!
