Cute, Clean. I loved that Waves and a Coffeehouse was so close. Public beach access is located across the street. The only thing I didn’t love is that it was noisy. There is an apartment above and I could hear everything from them walking around, to using the toilet. At the end of my stay, there were dogs that barked and pranced from one end to the apartment to the other.

Glad you enjoyed your stay, I'm sorry the tenants above you were noisy. Unfortunately each unit is individually owned and I can't control the unit about this one.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa L

Host profile image
While road tripping with my family in 2018, one of our stops was in Gulf Shores. I fell in love as soon as I put my toes in the sugary white sands and heard my feet squeak when i walked. Within 6 months, our family decided to purchase a place for us and guests to enjoy. When I purchased my condo, I wanted to provide a clean, cozy home that welcomes pets as well. As your host, my goal is to provide a place you will want to come back to and visit year after year, not a cheap rental. I hope you come and stay with us and enjoy our little cottage as much as our family and our french bulldogs do. We look forward to accommodating you on your next beach vacation. Don't forget your furry friend!
