About this property

Tranquil Cozy One Bedroom Waterfront House

Heavily wooded area directly on the water—secluded but with amenities within easy reach. Pensacola and Gulf Shores, with their famous sugar sand beaches, are a 35-minute drive away. Enjoy great water views. A new amusement park is a 20-minute drive away. The cottage is behind the main house, about 100 feet from the water.

Don't forget the famous world-class fishing right in front of the house.
Check out this popular YouTuber fishing an artificial reef, right in front of the house: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7EQtgQsT5s

Have a drink in the shade of ancient live oaks right next to the seawall. Shallow, warm water safe for children. Nice, quiet atmosphere.

Keywords:

House is forward; cottage to the back but to one side, allowing clear view and access to water.
House listing is 342412.

Quiet getaway

We enjoyed a quiet time again at the cozy cottage. Cheryl was very attentive to our needs since it was very cold and ended up getting snow!! Not what we expected on our trip to the gulf, but it was a trip we will not soon forget!

Great place right on the bay!

Property was clean and looked exactly like the pictures. Cheryl was very friendly and made check in and out easy. She even gave us some tips about good places to eat that were close by We had everything we needed and it was located in a nice quiet neighborhood with a great view of the bay. I would definitely stay here again.

Really enjoyed this lil getaway

The out side doesn’t do the inside justice. Rooms stayed very cold, no issue here, everything worked properly. The view out the back door was beautiful in the mornings.

Escape From the Business

This is a little home with all you need, nestled in a quiet neighborhood, waiting to help you relax. The water is in your backyard with the pelicans perched on their posts and the loons dipping under the waters catching their meals. If you need a get-away this is your place!

Enjoyable

Friendly cottage in a quiet, green neighborhood. We didn't use the nearby beach, which looked nice but not suitable for swimming with kids, and went to Pensacola / Orange Beach instead.

Must stay!

Far enough away from the business but close enough to the shopping and beaches to make this the best place to stay. The sunrise is a must see. Cheryl is the sweetest person I think I have ever met. This is a place that I would recommend to everyone and plan on going back to.

Quiet and safe

Not "on the water". You have to walk between the property that is actually on the water and an empty lot. The neighborhood was quiet and definitely felt safe. There was no washing machine and dryer as advertised.

Alabama Gulf

The property was clean, well cared for and had been updated. We enjoyed the birds in the morning and it was a nice area. It took about 30 minutes to get to Gulf Shores. Our property was on the waterfront but no beach access.

This is our second year to the area, first time at the cottage. We enjoyed the peaceful location and friendly people. We played golf, walked the beaches at gulf shores and fished. Had a great time and will be back. PS could use nobs on the cabinets and storage in the bathroom. Like the new bathroom. Cheryl is great

After settling in, we noticed the tv wasn't working. Cheryl resolved the issue immediately. We enjoyed our stay. Try the roadkill cafe for lunch and Pirates cove for a bushwhacker!
