While Gulf Shores will probably be safe, occasionally oil resurfaces. In my opinion you'd be better going to Clearwater or the East Coast of Florida to be safe.
Gulf Shores for a week in July would be fun. Don't worry about oil spill. BP continues to clean up anything that surfaces. The food is outstanding in GS and Orange Beach. Go to VRBO.Com and look up rentals in the area. You should find plenty to keep you busy.
