The place was beautiful and location was excellent! We would stay here again when back in the area! We had an issue with the internet when we first arrived but resolved quickly. Luckily we don't very often use the dishwasher as the layout was such that you couldn't open the dishwasher door all the way.

The hosts were so friendly and made sure that we had everything we needed during our stay. They responded quickly and answered any questions we had. We can’t wait to book this place again!

Our stay at Tannin 2BR Cottage was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, everything felt effortless and welcoming. The cottage itself is cozy, spotless, and stocked with everything we needed—full kitchen, comfy beds. The pool was pristine and never crowded, and the private beach access just 100 steps away was a dream. Being dog-friendly was a huge plus.

We had an amazing stay! 10/10 recommend! The home is beautiful and smelled amazing! Very short walk to the beach, easy access. There was a container ouside with a wagon, umbrella, chairs and more! It made our first time to Alabama very memorable and made going to the beach a breeze. 10/10 would stay again!

Weekend Getaway

Great property for a quick weekend getaway before school started back. Perfect size for our family of 5. Location was great with quick and easy access to the beach basically right across the street. Don’t worry about the traffic because there is a light and crossing to get you across with no worries. The pool is a few easy steps also from the front door and the kids loved this. We would stay here again!

Great Beach Stay

We had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend at our house in the Village of Tannin. The neighborhood is beautiful, peaceful, and full of charm—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The home was clean, stocked, and a short walk or bike ride to the State Park and private beach access. We loved the community pool and the proximity to great dining and activities in Orange Beach. Highly recommend this spot for families or anyone looking to unwind by the coast. We’ll definitely be back!

Property is as-shown and as described. Plenty of room for our family of four, stocked kitchen (excluding pantry staples), pool directly out the front door, located across the street from the beach, couple of places within walking distance, close to restaurants, etc. We would stay again! I do wish a little more was provided in terms of basics (e.g., more than one roll of TP per bathroom, more than one trashcan liner) but we were expecting that as that detail is included in the property description and picked up those items at the grocery store down the street. Thanks for having us!

Our Stay

The house was great...communication was great...the only thing that i thought was not great....was the description of 100 steps to private access...it gave me the impression that we would be on the same side as the beach. Other than that...EVERYTHING WAS GREAT!!!!
