About this property

Great Family Getaway With A PRIVATE Pool!

Everything you want in a special family getaway!

Relax on the remote beach, fish off the private pier, enjoy a sunset from the boathouse swings, kayak the lagoon, learn to paddle board, bike on the bike path, or laze by the new custom pool. All of these are at your fingertips with a West Beach vacation to Southern Palms Cottage. Located directly across from the gulf and right on the lagoon, this home will provide the space you need for the whole family. All living and bedrooms are located on one level and the open floor plan provides exceptional space for everyone to gather. We know you will love cooking in the fully stocked gourmet kitchen with HUGE island while watching the 65 inch TV in the living room! The front porch provides the perfect spot to sip coffee in the mornings while listening to the crashing waves of the Gulf of Mexico, while the back porch allows you to feel away from the hustle and bustle of the world while watching the sunset over the pier. The long driveway and 6 covered parking spots allows you to comfortably plan your vacation without having to worry about car restrictions.

We absolutely loved our stay here and would love to return. The pool was our favorite part and my kids couldn’t get enough of it. Easy walk to the beach even with toddlers and my 90 year old grandfather. Very private and relaxing location.

My group really enjoyed every aspect of this property from the internal amenities to the external. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with everything we could have needed and the entire house was clean and spacious. We loved the dock for fishing, the heated pool and paddle boards and bikes. The property owner was fantastic to work with! We would love to make this our “go to” property!

Our family have been going to Gulf Shores since 2013 and this house has now been marked our all time favorite! Spacious, beautiful, comfortable home with the convenience of a private pool, little lagoon AND ocean/beach just a few steps away. We will definitely be booking this one again! Thank you for allowing my family to relax and enjoy our family vacation.

Too much to say about this beach house! Plenty of room and super clean. Perfect area for relaxing at the pool. So much available to do just at the house. Canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and a quite beach right across the street. Fabulous house and perfect hosts!

Wonderful Vacation Home

We loved our stay at this property. The host was so easy to communicate with, the kids loved the large (lighted) heated pool, there were lots of pool/beach toys available for us, and lots of space for our large family. It was so nice being on both the lagoon and just across from our private beach on the ocean. We will definitely consider staying here again!

When I tell you that this vacation was perfect, I absolutely mean every single word of it!! We literally did not want to leave! The house was amazing, the location was spot on and it was as if we had our own private beach. The pier was such a plus and kept my teenage grandsons off their phones. I hate to wish my life away, but we cannot wait until next year. Oh, and Becky is the best!!! So responsive to everything that we needed. You will not be disappointed booking this little piece of paradise!

Fabulous Vacation

Everyone enjoyed the pool, especially the kids! A short walk to the beach, which this time of year we pretty much had to ourselves. The house was beautiful with plenty of room for our family of 9. One of the best vacations in the books, highly recommend.

Spring Break at the Bay

It was fabulous, plenty of space for the 9 of us. Huge island for food and prep, with plenty of bathrooms. Pretty much whatever you need they have it there for you. Pool was great for the kids especially when the weather wasn’t favorable for the beach. Close walk to the beach, great swings at the bay to take in the breeze and sunset, we would definitely return!!

About the host

Hosted by Southern Palms Cottage & Beachside

Host profile image
We have been vacationing on the Gulf Coast for 20+ years. We loved it so much that we decided to purchase a beach home so we could customize it to fulfill all of our wants and needs in a vacation home. Although we would love to spend every week down there, we don't have the vacation time to do so, so we decided to open our home up for all to enjoy. We have tried to think of everything to make your vacation enjoyable; kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, and a beach cart. Our hope is that you will love and cherish our home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because it was directly across the street from the beach and on the lagoon for flat water sports.

What makes this property unique

Our HUGE pool! We offer a full size (16x32) pool for your enjoyment. Plenty of room for the kids and adults.
