About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Sea Stars-Ocean Front Retreat, stunning views & right on the beach-Sleeps 14!

Sea Stars Beach Cottage is an elegant & homey oceanfront house with stunning views, large enough for your family getaways. Enjoy your own piece of the pristine, white sand beaches of Gulf Shores from the balconies. Relax with drinks and dinner by on the patio at our tiki bar and enjoy the sounds of the ocean waves from a hanging hammock. It has 6 bedrooms/4 baths and sleeping for 14. Located in popular W. Beach, we are close to all the action, but far enough away for relaxation!

The space
Sea Stars Beach Cottage is the place to be if you just want to relax, unwind and enjoy the sounds of the ocean and the beautiful white sands of the Gulf with friends and family. Sea Stars sits right on the beach with nothing between you and the ocean. Enjoy stunning views from one of our two decks, or enjoy grilling out on our patio while resting in one of our hanging hammock chairs or on our outdoor furniture. Serve up drinks or food at our unique Tiki Bar or play a game with the family. We have 2 king rooms, 2 queen rooms, 1 room with 2 twin beds, and a bunk room with 2 sets of bunk beds - 10 beds in all. Our house is located in the popular W. Beach area. While you'll have your own piece of beach to enjoy, you will also be located close to all of the area's fun things to do and best restaurants. So, choose Sea Stars if you want to have it all! Great for several families to visit the beach together.

Guest access
Entry is by keypad code, but we are always only a phone call away. Sea Stars is located in the popular West Beach area so guests will have no problem finding nearby stores, restaurants and things to do. We have two covered parking areas under the house, with parking for plenty more in our driveway.

Family Celebration

Property accommodated our four families comfortably, and kept the children occupied both indoors and outdoors. The location was off the main areas of the local city enough for traffic, but close enough for as needed supply runs. Will consider returning again in the future when the opportunity presents itself.
