About this property

Pet Friendly | Private Balcony | Quiet Complex

Welcome to our coastal beach cottage. Be on the sugary white sand in under two minutes! The original "Sun Baby" is a recently updated, pet-friendly 2 bedroom, 1 bath free-standing cottage perfect for couples, small families, or a few friends. Feel at home in this cute, beach-themed cottage offering you the privacy of a single-family home with the amenities of a condo. Sit on your private deck with a peak-a-boo view of the gulf. Convenient to everything Gulf Shores. Gather your family and pets and come visit the laid back, friendly atmosphere of Gulf Shores. We have just about everything else you need.

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed
Bedroom 2: Twin over Full Bunk Bed
Living Room: Queen sleeper sofa

The master bedroom features a Queen bed with a brand new gel memory foam mattress, high-end pillows, linens, and TV. The second bedroom features a twin-over-full bunk bed with new gel memory foam mattresses and high end linens and pillows. Comforters are washed after every stay! The bathroom has been newly remodeled with a beautifully tiled walk-in shower and glass doors. We provide bath towels, beach towels, body wash, shampoo/conditioner, lotion, and hand soap. 1 roll of toilet paper is including with your stay.

The Living Room offers a queen sleeper sofa, a love seat, along with a large TV offering satellite and a DVD player.

The Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would need to cook a full meal or just a snack. Includes a stove, microwave, refrigerator, crock pot and coffee maker. Also has a stackable washer and dryer including dryer sheets and laundry detergent. Dish soap is including along with 1 roll of paper towels.

The deck is furnished with 2 chairs and a side table. For the little ones or your furry family, the deck offers a gate that is able to be shut so they can enjoy sitting on the deck with you. Giving you piece of mind so they don't escape down the stairs.

There is an association pool offering tables and lounge chairs, a picnic table, bike rack, and charcoal grill (towards the rear of the property). Also under the cottage are 2 private parking spots reserved just for your cottage. There is a closet under your unit with beach toys, beach chairs, and a umbrella.

As a local resident, I personally inspect and maintain the unit and continually upgrade to make your trip one of affordable luxury.

THIS UNIT IS ON STILTS. THERE IS NO ELEVATOR. Please make sure that you are able to climb a flight of stairs before booking.

Getaway
The owner was great with communication, the location and private beach access was a blessing. Come stay at Sun Baby and bring a small family. The beach had all the seashells to collect on the shoreline and sand that was white and soft as snow.

SunBaby #1 was cozy and great for the family and dog
Really enjoyed this adorable, cozy, clean beach cottage! Couldn't find the sheets for the pull out sofa at first, but it was my bad - the owner was super responsive and helpful. Was able to fit an XXL crate in the corner for our standard poodle, and it was a great environment for him and our family to play and interact. The bathroom was gorgeous with enough hot water and shower space. Liked the in-cottage stacked washer and dryer - the loads were small but it did the job. The view was nice, porch was excellent, stairs were a bit steep but very sturdy with a good railing. Great area to walk and potty the dog as long as your dog doesn't care about traffic. We walked over to a few stores to get sundries and ice cream/pizza. The beach was super close and a nice easy walk. No dogs on the public beach, but the Dog Pond was a quick drive and a fun few hours of doggie fun in the water with the kids. 2 parking spots come reserved with this property, which was nice. The (unheated) pool was enjoyable and clean, with a good sunbathing area, and even some kids deck chairs. Really enjoyed having our own space (no shared walls/ceilings/floor with other guests), and would highly recommend this property to others.

Perfect Cottage
Sun Baby Cottage checked all the boxes: comfortable, cool, steps from the beach, squeaky clean, updated, beach vibe decor! If cleanliness, comfortable mattresses & pillows and an A/C that works is important to you - this is the place! Location was quiet but super close to everything that counts, especially the beautiful beach! Absolutely recommend and we would book here again!

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!

Why they chose this property

Sun Baby is located in the quieter part of Gulf Shores. It's close to everything and has everything you need for a beach vacation.

What makes this property unique

Private deck with dog/child gate. This is a detached cottage so there is no one connected to you on all sides.
