About this property

Osprey Guest Cottage Perdido Beach: no crowds traffic condominiums or elevators!

Osprey Cottage
If you want to escape the crowds, condominium congestion, horrible traffic and delays, elevator waits,noise and lack of privacy, you will surely prefer and enjoy a memorable stay in our one bedroom, one bath beachfront cottage. Our modern waterfront guest cottage in the mouth of Soldiers Creek is a perfect couple's retreat with magnificent views of the mouth of Soldiers Creek and Perdido Bay. This wonderful getaway provides great swimming with a sandy bottom and a beautiful pier with safe dockage available for small or larger boats up to 30 feet in length. Weekly or monthly availability at a 10% discount. Our nightly rate is $130 per night. The rate drops to $120 per night October 1st-March 1st. Minimum stay is 4 nights. We have a $20 per night charge for boat moorage due upon arrival.
Osprey Cottage is secluded in Perdido Beach, Alabama, but only 20 minutes from all Gulf Beaches, national seashores, horrible traffic and the crowds and 15 minutes to outlet shopping, water and theme parks. This property is available year round. Our shared family pier is great for fishing, crabbing , watching dolphins, osprey, herons and an occasional bald eagle play and feed. It is a true nature lovers paradise. We have two paddle boards for exploring and fishing. Nothing surpasses watching beautiful sunsets with a glass of wine. Wonderful relaxation awaits you on your next vacation! While you will prefer being outside at Perdido Beach, internet driven NEW Samsung 40” Smart TV and Wifi are available for work and rainy days. It is the perfect, quiet and romantic get away!

The cottage was incredibly clean and cozy, already equipped with every amenity we could’ve asked for. We loved the view from the porch and pier! Walter was very friendly, accommodating, and provided clear check-in instructions. We will be back!

Perfect vacation in a perfect cabin in the bay! The communication with the owner was fantastic. He even left us a little celebration gift. The neighborhood is nice and quiet with great views. We enjoyed fishing and catching crabs. We will return in the future.

Perfect little hideaway.

This place is just far enough out of the way to be quiet and private, but only 30 minutes from plenty to do and see. We enjoyed coffee on the pier each morning. A perfect start to our day.

Quiet Hideaway

The perfect place to enjoy a quiet and peaceful stay! The cottage was just perfect for the two of us. We enjoyed the quaint atmosphere of this location. Having the dock was perfect for early morning and evening fishing. "Fred" the blue heron was such fun! The sunrises and sunsets were stunning. Walter was a fabulous host, making sure all our needs were met!

If you are looking for a quiet spot tucked away, this is it. Walter was very helpful even though he was out of the country. Skip the busy beach and relax here.

Another great vacation in Perdido Beach !

This is our 7th stay in the Osprey Cottage! Obviously we really like it here. Peaceful and very quiet except for boats and wildlife at this time of year. We have become friendly with some of the locals and the owner and have gotten to know the area! This is one of our “happy places “!! Perfect place for a couple regardless of age.

We were looking for a quiet and relaxing environment after spending time at the beach. Everything was just as described on VRBO sight as well as all the previous reviews. Walter was great. Gave you plenty of privacy but was extremely responsive if you had questions, etc.

My wife and I stayed at the Osprey Nest for our 32nd wedding anniversary. The place is beautiful! Perched right off the main deck is a perfect view of the Osprey nest and family. This can be viewed from the awesome boat house they have as well! We took our watercraft to go exploring the bay and dolphin watch and were not disappointed. Every day we saw dolphin and not just one at a time but groups of them. It was truly spectacular!The cabin was very comfortable and clean. Great location, both from land and sea. About 30min to Foley and 40-45 to Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. By sea we were on the Orange Beach side within 15min, Wolf Bay and the Wharf area about 20min, and Perdido Key in 30in {30-35 mph or so, no stopping).Our host was hospitable, accommodating, and very helpful.The overall property and grounds were wonderful. Very quiet and away from all of the hustle and bustle but still an easy commute to get to all the activity.No complaints here. We will definitely stay again!!!Thanks for the hospitality!!!

Leave the crowds behind

Property was exactly as described and was just beautiful. The home was so well stocked we could have not even brought anything but our clothing! The dolphin watching was a high point. They are right there at the pier. Pensacola, Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, Johnson Beach all about 30 mins from this quiet oasis. Worth it! Avoid the crowds and be welcomed by Walter and his family. You won’t be disappointed.

Doesn't get much better than the Osprey Guest Cottage!

The views were spectacular. The wildlife was amazing. We made friends with a Great Blue Heron who came to visit and nap by us on the dock every day. Of course he just wanted my shrimp and cut bait. We saw dolphins daily. Caught some fish on the dock. The cabin was decorated well and very comfortable with all the amenities one could ask for, including really good wifi speeds. The place was so peaceful and quiet that it fit the bill 100% for someone who wants privacy, nature and a relaxing time. Walter was a great host and makes sure his guests are pleased and comfortable with their stay. The bed was nice and firm, similar to expensive 5 star resort mattresses. That was a plus as I've had two neck surgeries in the past. My past injury did not bother me once! The wife and I will be coming back for sure! We were sad to leave.

Osprey Guest Cottage is Amazing!

This is our second stay at Osprey. Walter is the best host, ever! He makes sure everything you need is available to you. His property is just secluded enough to enjoy nature and the bay while still being close enough to all that the Gulf Shores area has to offer. The cabin is amazing. I wish the wife and I could stay forever! The only thing I was missing was a boat. Perhaps I'll bring mine the next time? We stayed a full week and felt time flew by way too fast. Comfortable bedding, couch, etc. Fishing gear available to you. Lighting on the dock if you want to night fish. I almost don't want to tell people about the place so it's always available when I can get away! LOL. Thanks again, Walter, for an excellent stay.

My wife and I were looking for a peaceful, secluded get away and we found it with this property. The host couldn't have been more friendly. We enjoyed watching the sun rise and the dolphins while having our morning coffee on the pier. We fished late into the night with the lighted pier and and gazed at the stars. We hope to do it again soon.
