About this property

Enjoy serenity and sunsets on Mobile Bay. Dog friendly/fenced yard.

Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac along Mobile Bay, Meme's is the perfect retreat for discerning guests who want to enjoy the beauty of sunrises and sunsets on the water. This waterfront home has two large bedrooms and two newly renovated baths, a well appointed kitchen and plenty of comfy spaces from which you can enjoy the water and the wildlife. Guests often report seeing dolphins playing in the water in front of the covered dock. Pelicans, seagulls, osprey, eagles, and herons abound. This home is also dog friendly and has a fully fenced back yard.

Relax on one of the two screened porches where you'll find rockers, swings, and tables for outdoor dining. Or hangout on the back patio while cooking up a feast on the charcoal grill. While there is not easy access to the water, fishing is good from the seawall and dock plus the home is only about a mile from the white sand Gulf beaches of the Bon Secour National Wildlife Preserve.

The trip to the center of Gulf Shores takes less than 10 minutes. There you will find grocery stores, restaurants and other attractions. Several good restaurants can also be found a few miles West at Jesse's on the Bay or at the Beach Club. Or pickup some local seafood from nearby shops and prepare your own feast in the fully stocked kitchen.

Spend your days exploring the nearby attractions, such as the stunning Ft Morgan beaches, historic Fort Morgan, the Bon Secour National Wildlife Preserve, and the lush Gulf State Park, all within a short drive. When you return catch up on your favorite shows on the smart TV. For a bit of entertainment, dive into the selection of games, books, and DVDs available or sign in to your favorite streaming service.

When it's time to retire for the night, you'll find comfortable accommodations with a king sized bed in the primary bedroom, two twins in the second bedroom and a sleeper sofa. With two new full baths, air conditioning, two screened porches with water views you will have all the essential amenities you need.

About the host

Hosted by Martha Howard, Gulf Coast Keyholders and Exit Realty, Gulf Shores

Host profile image
My daughter and I have owned this cottage together since 2010. I am a long time resident of Gulf Shores and live close by. After teaching in public high school for 30 years I retired and later became a licensed Realtor. I list and sell property in the area and manage several vacation rentals for myself and others. My daughter who grew up here is a military pilot who does not get to visit too often but does love to spend what time she can at her grandmother's former home.

Why they chose this property

This was my mother's home. She always wanted to live on the water and at age 78 designed and built this cottage where she spent the last 5 years of her life. She loved the quiet surroundings and the tiny lane of friendly neighbors. But most of all, she loved the oaks laden with moss and the constantly changing view of from her front porch.

What makes this property unique

This property is unique in its location. While it is out of the way of the crowds it is still close to everything. The quiet lane is very private, great for guests looking for a relaxing vacation. In contrast to the beachfront condos this place will feel like home!
