The place was nice, clean and a good location. One block off the main road. We enjoyed the dock and fishing from right behind the house. With that being said, this is NOT a three bathroom home. The 1/2 bath located in the laundry room that is outside the home and down the stairs should not be advertised as a third bathroom. We booked this home because it was a three bed/three bath for each person to have their own bathroom and two had to share.

POS and cons

Definitely some good and not so great things. The location and space was really good for our family of 6 with children ranging 5-19. Owners responded promptly to questions. Short 5-10 min walk to public beach, manageable 20 minute walk to the Hangout. Peaceful lagoon out back. Several eating options within 5-20 minutes walk. The open living room/kitchen was nice Kitchen supplies somewhat old and the blender was from the 70’s-80’s and broken. Small dock and back porch was old and weathered.’The worst thing was quite a few mosquitos came out of the shower and were congregating by the back door.

Amazing vacation

Our stay was outstanding. We were hoping for some rest and relaxation but also some fun in the sun. This location was perfect for us. Spent a ton of time fishing off the dock and caught a fair share. Enough to keep us entertained. Also caught a few crabs. Being able to walk or ride bikes to the beach and local stores and restaurants was great too. Our teenage kids loved the freedom to get out and explore without us parents. Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and the rest of the surrounding areas had plenty to offer everyone in our party so no one got bored even though we all have different interests. I would highly recommend this house to anyone visiting the area. We will definitely check its availability on our next trip to the area.

Have no doubts, this is where you want to book your stay.

We have used Vrbo several times always with good results with the Garrett’s cottage and hospitality is second to none. The place is great and location can’t be beat. Far enough from the main attractions that the noise isn’t a bother at night, yet close enough that you are walking distance to anything you could want. Beach access is very close and their pier is amazing to set and relax in the evenings. Truly you do not need to look any farther this cottage is well priced well located and well-maintained my wife, two daughters (22,18) and my son (16) and I were not disappointed in anyway.

Family Fishing trip

Very nice neighborhood on little lagoon. Nice quiet place. Walking distance from beach,hangout and a coffee shop at the entrance of the neighborhood. Space between the houses was nice also. My son, nephew and their cousin caught several different species of fish of the private pier in the back yard. Nice place. Owner was very pleasant and responsive. 5 out of 5.

Great Place!

Great place for my family group of 4 adults and 2 teenagers. Even though this place isn't located on the beach, it is located close enough to it that you can walk there in about 5 minutes. It is located however with access to the Lagoon side. We fished off the pier in the back yard and were able to catch several spotted trout. Having the downstairs bathroom and outside shower was a plus, as we were able to clean off after being at the beach and not track sand into the home. The boat launch was awesome to have to launch jet skis from! We will definitely book here again!

Amazing Spring Break

Our experience was fantastic at the property. We were in Gulf Shores on one of the busiest weeks of the year and felt like we were in a secluded area. The neighbors are far enough away and the neighborhood is very quiet. Perfect location for fishing day and night for my teenage boys. They caught crabs and all types of fish. They swam in the lagoon as well. The space is perfect for a family. Each of us had our own sleeping area. The outdoor room/space is everyone's favorite. There was all the utensils and pans you could ask for. The charcoal BBQ was great to use each night. They built condos where there used to be beach access so it is a 7 minute walk to beach access which is just perfect. Easy walking distance to all parts of the strip. There are beach chairs and boogie boards to use while onsite (we brought our own). Great communication with the owner and a great value. We will be there next year!
