Great beach house!
We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed the house. It was the perfect location, away from the noise but close enough to everything. My only complaint would be more paper towels and toilet paper ( we had to buy more to last the week) and to provide shampoo, conditioner and body soap. Otherwise, we really enjoyed everything and hope to come back again!

Perfect Fall Getaway
This home was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It was nice having access to the laundry room! We enjoyed the pier access and fenced area for the dogs. The host was readily available to provide directions when we turned down the wrong street :) Would definitely recommend.

Relaxing
A relaxing place that was clean and comfortable! The bed was super comfortable too! The view and pier was really nice! The fenced in yard was big enough for our dog. The location was quiet. We took our 22’ bay boat and we were able to park it and move it around but it was a very tight fit. The tree limbs that hung down over the long driveway clipped the top of our t-top so I wouldn’t recommend taking a boat with a t-top or over 22’. We managed and did not get into anyone else’s property but it was very hard to do. Martha is always an excellent host! Thank you Martha!

Host profile image
New owners bought this cottage with an eye to stay here while they renovate a nearby older cottage. Until then they want to share it with others who want to get away for some quiet time near the water.

Why they chose this property

There is not a more beautiful spot on the bay - the view, the old oaks with Spanish moss hanging from their limbs, the gentle lap of the water, the spacious yard, the quiet setting and peaceful surroundings simply evoke a sense of peace. The large yard and distance from the busy highway also made this home a perfect spot for families with children and dogs (limit 1 please!).

What makes this property unique

This property offers guests a different view of Gulf Shores. Quiet and secluded under old oaks this home is far away from the vacation rental crowd. Guests experience what it is like to live along the bay on the island's Ft Morgan peninsula. Surrounding homes are full time residents who love the quiet enjoyment of the location. Perfect for smaller non-party groups looking for a peaceful spot.
Sunsets are unparalleled at the water's edge For those who want to play in the Gulf waters the beach at the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge is almost across the street. A two minute drive will take you to its pristine shore where you can swim, fish, walk, shell and bask in the rays. Located about nine miles from town it is a quick trip to the center of the action, shops, restaurants, and attractions if you can tear yourself away from the front porch.
