About this property
Newly updated, screened porches, 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.
There are two screened porches with rockers, swings, and tables for outdoor dining. The back patio also has a table and chairs plus a charcoal and propane grill. While there is not easy access to the water, the home is only about a mile from the white sand 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.

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

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!
