Welcome to Splendid Adventure, our FABULOUSLY cute beach cottage that we're happy to share with you.
It is a beautiful 2 bedroom, 1 bath stand alone cottage directly across the two lane road from the Gulf of Mexico on the West Beach of Gulf Shores. We've added new tile in the living room and kitchen and a brand new a/c system! There is easy, deeded, paved beach access with rinsing showers available directly across the two-lane, a beautifully landscaped pool area, common washers and dryers, grills in common areas and a great view from our deck of both the Gulf and the lagoon. Our cottage has two designated, covered parking spaces directly beneath it. We also have a rinsing shower there for your convenience.
Should the dates you need not be available we also have a two bedroom, 1 bath beachfront condo a half mile back toward the "T" in Gulf Village. The vrbo listing for this unit is 214152. Give it a look and see if we have the dates you need there.
Come on down and let the fresh sea breezes ease your mind as you unwind on the legendary sugar white beaches of Gulf Shores. There is as much or as little to do as you please here. And remember, once you cross that Intercoastal Waterway bridge, SMILE, you're on Island Time!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
David & Kathy searched Gulf Shores for years looking for just the right property that they couldn't live without. Gulf Shores was a given, it was home away from home. Cottage 5 at Sea & Sun was THE one. Home from the first moment.
Why the Owner Chose Sea and Sun
They chose this cottage because of its charm and proximity to the beautiful sands of the West Beach of Gulf Shores. It has a beautiful view of the water from it's deck, both direct Gulf view AND the lagoon. West Beach is the least developed area of Gulf Shores where the beaches are still accessible to the average visitor and the Little Lagoon Pass offers excellent fishing and playtime on it's sandbar.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
The easy access to the beach, the beautiful pool area, the restaurant, ice cream parlor and convenience store within walking distance make this a wonderful location!
