Great place to stay close to everything

Very nice place with lots of room. Our family of eight really enjoyed the area and just a short walk across the road to the beach. Fall break in Gulf Shores was very nice. Would stay here again. Check it out!

Family Vacation

We loved this beach cottage house, very clean and plenty of room for my family of 9. The beach was just a short walk away and my grand babies loved the pool. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again. Derek was a great host and messaged me on our first day allowing us to check in couple hours early and even checked on us through our stay!

Amazing getaway! You won’t regret it!

We had an awesome time with the best accommodations! Everything was perfect, including the communication! There was more than enough room for our crew of 11, plenty of supplies, games, toys, & towels. We really loved having a grill & the hose to rinse everything & everyone, two things we usually don’t get when we rent a condo. The views were beautiful & the walk was not bad at all. Highly recommended!

Best Yet!

We have been to Gulf Shores probably 10 times over the last 20 years, and rarely stay in the same place twice. We all agreed this is the best place we've rented in Gulf Shores. Good location, nicely decorated, clean, plenty of towels, plenty of shampoo, conditioner and soap. Well stocked kitchen. Easy communication with the owner throughout the entire process. Easy to get in with a simple lockbox to open when we arrived. Since the cottage wasn't rented the day before we arrived, the owner let us know we could get into the cottage sooner than the stated checkin time. An easy walk to the beach. Lots of open space to the south and east of the condo because of its proximity to Gulf State Park. Overall, five stars from us!
