Travel Nurse Housing in Gulf Shores, AL | Monthly Furnished Rentals
Baldwin County runs two hospital facilities that pull travel nurses year-round. South Baldwin Regional Medical Center in Foley handles emergency, med-surg, and telemetry for the southern end of the county. Thomas Hospital in Fairhope covers the Eastern Shore with broader specialty coverage under the Infirmary Health system.
Feel Good Stays provides furnished monthly rentals in Gulf Shores for nurses on assignment at either facility. We are a small, privately operated rental company not a corporate housing platform. You get a real home, a direct contact, and a lease that matches your contract dates.
What We Provide and How It Works
Every property we rent to travel nurses is fully furnished and move-in ready. Full kitchen with cookware and dishes, in-unit washer and dryer, dedicated off-street parking, and documented high-speed internet. Utilities are included in the monthly rate electric, water, WiFi, one flat number.
Leases run contract-length or month-to-month. Eight weeks, thirteen weeks, extended contracts the lease is written around your confirmed assignment dates. If your agency extends you, we extend the lease. We do not require 30-day notice cycles that conflict with how travel contracts actually work.
Baldwin County GSA per diem rates for housing are set at a level where our monthly pricing typically falls within your stipend ceiling. We provide a signed lease, monthly statements, and move-in documentation for your agency or tax professional.
Who Stays With Us
Our Gulf Shores properties are booked by three types of guests primarily.
Travel nurses on assignment at South Baldwin Regional or Thomas Hospital make up the core of our healthcare bookings. Most are on standard 13-week contracts, some extend, some come back for a second rotation. Nurses who want a functional home base not a hotel room and who want the Gulf Coast address as part of the deal.
Insurance-displaced residents through ALE arrangements book our properties when hurricane or storm damage makes their primary residence uninhabitable. We work directly with adjusters and have experience moving ALE guests in quickly when timing is urgent.
Snowbirds and longer-stay visitors from northern states fill our off-season availability from October through April, which keeps our properties occupied year-round and our operations stable.
Gulf Shores and the Surrounding Area
Gulf Shores sits at the southern tip of Baldwin County on AL-182, where the Intracoastal Waterway meets the Gulf of Mexico. The beach is not a selling point we need to oversell — you know what it is.
South Baldwin Regional in Foley is 10 to 12 minutes north on AL-59 from most Gulf Shores addresses. It is a direct shot with no real traffic outside of summer tourist weekends on the highway. The drive is straightforward on any shift schedule.
Thomas Hospital in Fairhope is a different situation — roughly 40 to 50 minutes depending on whether you use the Jubilee Parkway bridge or go around through Loxley. If your assignment is at Thomas, contact us before booking. We will tell you whether Gulf Shores makes sense for your commute or whether you should look at Eastern Shore housing instead.
Day-to-day in Gulf Shores: Publix and Walmart on AL-59 handle grocery runs. The Wharf in Orange Beach is 10 minutes east for restaurants and weekend options. Gulf State Park runs 6,000 acres of trails, beach, and lake access. Mobile is an hour north if you need a city day.
Off-season Gulf Shores — October through March — is quieter, cooler, and genuinely pleasant for nurses who want low-friction living between shifts. Summer is louder and books faster.
