Tiny Turtle is very well decorated.It is very comfortable and well supplied for the needs of the guest.

Easy access to the center of town and the beach Property is well kept and pet friendly so our four-legged children can visit, too. Nice clean pool. The unit has a queen-size bed, a fold- down couch, very nice appliances in the kitchen, washer and dryer in the bathroom which is very nice.

One of the Best Stays We’ve Ever Had! This hotel truly had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The kitchen was fully equipped — toaster, kettle, dishes, utensils, bowls — absolutely everything! We brought a lot with us, but honestly, we didn’t need to — they had it all. We loved that there were games and activities available, which was perfect for rainy days. Another huge plus was the washer and dryer — traveling with a small child means laundry is inevitable, and this was incredibly helpful. The bed was very comfortable, and the space was generous and well laid out. We honestly enjoyed everything about our stay. The only small downside was that the pool wasn’t heated — if it were, this place would easily be a perfect 10/10 for us!

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!
