About this property

Lagoon House with something for Everyone. Good beach access or a private pool.

West Beach cottage on Little Lagoon. This nicely furnished home has a great open view of the Gulf of Mexico with just a short walk to enjoy the beautiful white sands through a maintained deeded access. Also enjoy fishing on the little lagoon from a private pier. And don't forget the treasured sunsets! The sunset view is breath taking! Just want to relax? No worries there! Sit by the outdoor private pool with a full wrap around deck. We also have 2 large decks, one gulf side and one lagoon side for sipping coffee in the mornings and a favorite beverage in the evenings.
This is a single-family home with 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. 1bath has a full walk-in shower, 1 has a tub/shower combo. We have a fully equipped kitchen The family area is open for lots of family laughter. Vinal wood plank floors throughout this home and 2 central air units make this home nice and cool in the heat of the summer. Sleeps 9 comfortably: BD 1-Queen, BD 2-Queen, BD 3-Queen and 1 Single, BD 4- 2 Singles. We also offer a washer and dryer for your convenience.
Parking for 5-6 vehicles under the cover of the house.
Outside you will find plenty of chairs for lounging and visiting. We have a charcoal grill area or the use of a gas grill for those family cook out nights. If a beach day is what you want, use the helpful beach wagon to transport chairs across the way. We try to keep several chairs to carry with you to the beach. Remember at the end of your beach stay leave footprints only. If fishing is your thing, try off the dock. May not catch Moby Dick but it can be entertaining when the local "Fred Bird" comes to watch.
We are a great location away from the commercial areas and heavy traffic, set for your comfort and relaxing vacation. Less crowded beach area, and your own pool.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Loved it, great location, something for everybody!

We absolutely loved our stay. This location was great for fishing in the lagoon, enjoying the pool, and the beach. It was away from the bussle of town, but close enough to run to the store. The kitchen had everything that I needed with dishes, pots and pans, and utensils. There were beach/pool items available to use... little touches around the house that showed that the owners provided the things that you forget that you need on trips. Would definitely stay again! Thank you!

They need to hire a new cleaning crew.

Owners were nice, whoever the cleaning staff people were sat outside in our driveway every day. We exchanged some nice words with each other. Get rid of those people and you might be able to enjoy your vacation. Have a great summer!

Wonderful Family Getaway

The house was just what we needed...enough room for everyone. Spent the mornings on the beach, the afternoons in the pool and the evenings on the dock! Julie and her husband were wonderful to communicate directly with. They helped us out several times with several issues. Thank you for a much needed family vacation!

Lovely for all ages

This home was great for those who wanted to simply stay in and relax, take on the pool, go fishing on the dock or spend time on the beach. It's the total package and far away from the typical crowds, yet only a 4 mile drive to the stores and restaurants.

Will stay again!

This house was perfect for us! We had 3 couples and several kids stay and there was plenty of room. The beds were comfy and clean. I would suggest bringing a throw blanket or two though. We loved the back deck over looking the pool and the lagoon! We could keep an eye on all the kids no matter where they ventured off to. We enjoyed the pool and the many floats provided. We fished off the dock and caught a variety of fish including the biggest speckled trout we have seen. The beach is a quick walk across the street and there was a beach cart provided. The house had everything we needed. Even things we thought we would need to bring were already at the house. We stayed the weekend a hurricane was coming in to LA and the homeowner made sure we were aware of it (we are locals but still appreciated the heads up). We will definitely stay at this house again!

Would book again!!!

We enjoyed staying here! It was a very short drive out from the chaos of Gulf Shores, which is exactly what we wanted! We liked the quietness of the area, the short walk across the road to the beach and we enjoyed a lot of our time in the pool as well. The house is roomy and we loved the open concept. Communication with Julie was excellent as well. We will book here again!

Perfect

The location was quiet, but close to the fun stuff. The house was set up was perfect for our three kids and a friend. All the items you would need were supplied, we just had to buy food and we were set for the week. Beach access was just across the street and the pool gave us a place to relax of an evening. Will definitely rent this house next time we visit Gulf Shores. Owners were very easy to communicate with. 5 stars for sure!

Perfect family vacation

This house was perfect for our family vacation! The kids loved the pool. The house layout was perfect for our two families (two couples with three kids between us). The kitchen, towels, etc, were well stocked and everything was very clean. Being in a more residential area meant that the beach was much less crowded than the areas with all the condos and public beach accesses. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone!

The best spot!

We had a great time at the beach celebrating our daughters birthdays! It rained all weekend and it was a little chilly, but that didn’t dampen the party! The kids still swam in the pool, walked to the beach and we went fishing in the lagoon and were visited by a heron. They had everything there! Towels, kitchen supplies, dishes, Tupperware, dish soap, hand soap. Everything! Thank you so very much for allowing us to spend some time in your home!

Excellent location with a short walk to the beach. The house was nice, clean and spacious. We enjoyed the pool, hanging outside on the patio, and the dock was nice at the lagoon. The homeowner was very responsive to our emails and text messages. Overall, it was a great experience and we would recommend it.

Great Trip!

This home had everything we needed for our families to stay and enjoy our vacation. House was perfectly laid out so that everyone had their privacy when needed but there was more than enough room in the main areas to comfortably gather! The kids enjoyed the pool/lagoon/beach and adults enjoyed hanging out on the porches! Excellent communication with the owners! Will definitely be staying here again!

Great friends trip!

We had a wonderful trip! While the beach was across the highway, we were able to see it from the front porch and it was never crowded. We had a slight hiccup with the front door access code not working at check in but I contacted Julie and she reset it for us and had no other issues. Our group brought two boats and the pier and dock worked out great. We had easy access to both boats from the dock. We also enjoyed the private pool and appreciate that there were locks on the gates so we didn’t need to worry about our young kids getting to the pool without us. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Julie Holloway

Host profile image
We bought this cottage as a place to enjoy our winters and share with the summer beach goers. We love the location on the lagoon where we have our own pier for fishing from or storing our small fishing boat. As the weather starts to warm we have the pool to relax around and enjoy those quick swims to cool off. Our early morning walks include a short walk over to the beach across the road on the deeded access. We like to enjoy our coffee on the front deck in the mornings and a soothing beverage on the back deck or out on the pier for the treasured sunsets. We are retired and loving the times we spend down in the area of Gulf Shores.

Why they chose this property

This property gave us a little of everything, views of the Gulf, easy access to the beach, a private pier for fishing and a pool for relaxing. We are away from the busy streets of the main drag. We enjoy the less stress of having to get to the beach early to get a spot to set our chairs. And we have now made great friendships with the year-round residents of this area.

What makes this property unique

The layout of our home lends to a good central gathering place, yet your own space to chill in. We the best of all right here. Good access to the beach without fighting a crowd of people to set up chairs or just to go fishing from the beach. We have ample spacious parking, two great porches to enjoy the views, a pool to relax in and a pier for fishing and watching the sunset. When we retire for the evening we have ample space for family time.
