About this property
Private Pier - Lantana Cottage
“Lantana Cottage” is a quiet and secluded home away from home. The screened in porch allows one to relax and watch the bay. Guests have been known to see dolphins, herons, pelicans and sea gulls. Some favorites activities include fishing, crabbing, and throwing the cast net off the private pier. Or, cuddle up next to the fireplace with your pets. The lot across the street is part of this rental, so you never have to worry about parking. Less than 20 min to Gulf Shores beaches and 40 min to Fairhope.
This cozy 2 bedroom, 1 bath retreat offers the perfect balance of comfort and coastal fun. The primary bedroom features a queen bed, while the second bedroom is furnished with two full beds—ideal for families or small groups. An additional half bath is located in the detached garage.

Our 2nd time staying at the cottage and we loved it just like the first time!I do wish the sea wall(little sandy area) was cleaned up & rebuilt a bit, but other than that we had a great time in a great, homey little place
We loved our stay at Lantana Cottage! The house was clean and well furnished! The dock fishing was our favorite, as well as the sunrise and sunsets! We caught sail cats, stingrays, croakers, reds, and even a small shark!
Property wasn’t the best or worst we’ve stayed at, pretty middle of the road. It was a good place to be away from the busy-ness of Gulf Shores and the pier was nice to watch the water from. We were disappointed that the only eating utensils were 3 plastic forks, one had a broken tong.
Everything was in great shape. The cottage and location themselves were perfect for us.Enjoyed fishing off the pier and waking up to sounds of the incoming tide.Quiet with an out in the country feel. Hope to visit again.
Lovely views and peaceful!We had a very peaceful get away from the busyness of life. Cool breezes, beautiful views, very quiet and comfortable. We sure hope to come again. Rachel was great to work with.
Although property was dated, it was very clean and everything was perfect for our stay. Pier was great and so was fishing. Screened patio was a plus for us. Will stay again.
We absolutely loved it. Everything about this place was incredible. Saw all kinds of wildlife daily. Very clean, amazing views, lots of room, the back porch was 10/10. Honestly there is nothing we would change about this place and hope to stay again.
So peaceful, clean, comfortable cottage. Views were amazing! Great friend getaway and I am sure families would love it. The screened in porch was so nice! Rachel our host was available as needed, though we did not need a thing. Walking the dog was great, nice quiet road and we met awesome neighbors as well. We will be back!
Second time to book Lantana Cottage. Very comfortable, relaxing and laid back but still close to activities. Enjoyed watching shrimp boats from screened porch and fishing from the pier. Cottage is well equipped.
I gave Lantana Cottage a 5 star rating because it is exactly as seen in the pictures and better. Easy to check in, beautiful views and a very beachy feeling with all the beautiful decoration through out the house. My wife and I would not hesitate to stay at Lantana Cottage again.
We went there to just to relax for a few days after some cancer treatment. It rained every day :-) but we were able just to take it easy be back this was our second trip.
This was our third time staying at Lantana Cottage, and it feels like coming home. The bay is so beautiful, and the property is very peaceful. The air conditioner went out on our second day there, but Rachel was so attentive and got us taken care of by the next morning. Very responsive! We will definitely return!
We loved loved this little cottage! Great lot and views! Back screened porch is much larger than pic shows, plenty seating on porch. Note: There IS a second working half bath in detached garage with washer n dryer not mentioned in listing.
We all absolutely loved the cottage and hope to come back again! We had crab traps out the entire week and had a good boil our last night with over 20 crabs & my husband grilled several red fish he caught in the surrounding area. We brought all of our kayaks and enjoyed the paddle time & going over to the little beachy area of the bayou for the kids & for some solitude. The house is nice & tidy & just what we needed!
The house was wonderful. Everything was exactly as described. House was perfectly clean. Views were amazing. Close enough to everything to visit and eat supper but secluded enough to be peaceful. Fishing was good. Caught many different species just none big enough to eat. Dolphins swam by the pier every day we were there. Host was helpful with any questions. Would definitely stay here again!!
This is the 3rd time we have stayed at Lantana. I absolutely love it. Nice bathroom remodel was done this time. Plan on returning next year. Love all the fish activity that you can spot in the bay. Wish there were rails around the edge of the deck but that probably has more to do with our age.were railso
We loved our stay! It was such a relaxing home. My boys enjoyed fishing off the dock. They caught a sea trout, several catfish, mullet, and even a small shark! Enjoyed watching the crab pots through the week and had some to eat our last night. The home was well stocked with everything we could need. Couldn’t ask for a better place!
