About this property

Lagoon-view coastal retreat with shared pool, fishing pier, and easy beach access

Summary:

Sunwatch Cottages #8 - Tide Together



The Space:

It’s the best of both worlds at this lagoon-front coastal home where friends and family can gather away from the hubbub of beach crowds yet still be close enough to the ocean to enjoy everything this beach vacation offers. Guests will find deeded beach access to the Gulf of Mexico right across the street, and just outside the home’s front door, you’ll be just steps from the shared pool, fishing pier, a gazebo with a picnic area, and Little Lagoon.



The living and dining areas feature an open floor plan, so you'll have plenty of space to spend time with loved ones. The full-size kitchen is equipped with everything needed for whipping up culinary delights, and there’s comfortable seating throughout the living room for all to relax and share stories of the day’s activities, which no doubt will include swimming, fishing, sunbathing, boating, and more.



As the sun begins to set, the spacious deck facing the lagoon will be everyone's favorite spot to hang out before calling it a night. The heart of Gulf Shores is a few miles from the home and offers a plethora of restaurants, shopping, and entertainment options. Those wanting to get a head start on their rest will get to choose between two primary suites, one on the main level off the living area, as well as two additional bedrooms and a shared bathroom on the upper level with one featuring direct access to the upstairs private deck.

The property location is awesome! The community pool is right outside the door and is directly adjacent to the lagoon with a nice dock and area to fish and catch crab. It is a very short walk to West Beach. I loved it because it was less crowded near there. Lots of nice shelling areas there too. The house was well laid out with two master suites; one on the main floor, right off the main living area/kitchen and one upstairs. There were two additional bedrooms upstairs with a Jack and Jill bathroom. The house needs updating but overall is nice. The kitchen has a small table with 4 chairs and a breakfast bar that seats 4 people as well. The kitchen is lacking in supplies such as a cutting board, rubber spatula, storage containers, extra silverware. The sink did not drain properly and the garbage disposal did not work. The washer makes very loud noises when spinning. All easy fixes. The patio door and doors to access the balcony from bedrooms are very, very difficult to open and close. Things to bring if you stay: foil, plastic wrap, zip lock bags, TP, paper towels, dish soap, dish detergent, and storage containers for leftovers. We are a family of 8; mom & dad, three adult children and their spouses. The house was nice for everyone to have their own rooms and space, easy access to lagoon, and short walk to the beach. Overall, I would recommend this spot for families with children of all ages.
