About this property
YOUR OWN HOME! Water Views! Pool & Private Beach!
HAVE YOUR OWN HOME! Tortuga Sunrise has everything for a great vacation! The cottage and area are very relaxing and amazing! Take a break from your routine and come enjoy the beach, ocean breeze and sunshine!! I have two other cottages Tortuga Sunset right across from Tortuga Sunrise and Tortuga Daybreak, a waterfront cottage with two balconies and beautiful water views of Little Lagoon too! If you are looking for different dates or want to vacation with friends, click on my profile picture to see my other two listings.
Truly the best of everything...steps from Little Lagoon and from the Gulf! Pristine outdoor pool overlooking Little Lagoon, fishing and a quick 3 minute walk over the dune to the ocean. Tortuga Sunrise has so many things to offer for a great vacation!! Little Lagoon is like glass, great for kayaks (fishing on the Lagoon) and paddle boards with an easy launch site. I provide contact information for local rentals for beach items, kayaks and paddle boards with free delivery and pick up to the cottage front door! The dock has a large area with benches and swings to enjoy sunsets with a cocktail. Fishing is great and the dock is just steps away ....reds, speckle trout are just a few of the fish in the area.
Our private beach access it is a quick 3 minute walk from the cottage. Once you walk over the dune the ocean is right there. It is an easy walk to the beach area where you can set up chairs to enjoy the beach.
The pool is also steps away and a nice break from the sand. It looks out onto Little Lagoon! The pool usually isn't crowded. There is a 2 foot platform with bubblers; a fun place for toddlers and grandkids to play. The cottage has a balcony with water views of Little Lagoon. There is afternoon shade on the balcony to enjoy a cocktail and a beautiful view. A nice break from being in the sun all day.
If you are looking for rest and relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of high-rise condos still within close distance to restaurants, shops and entertainment, this will be perfect vacation for you! There are great five star restaurants with outdoor dining and live music just down the street.
Once you book I send a Welcome email with helpful information about the cottage and the area. I provide information about the wonderful walking trails in the area, golf courses, restaurants, the many activities for kids. Please message me your email address when you book and I will forward it to you.
You just can't beat the lagoon on one side and the ocean on the other! Our cottage looks out directly onto Little Lagoon... beautiful views from every window. The lagoon water is typically just as blue as the Gulf, but calm and shallow, with much sea life! You can often spot hermit crabs, blue crabs, and sea skates, and catch redfish and speckled trout.
You can enjoy everything Tortuga Sunrise has to offer without loading and unloading in a hot car with our 2 covered parking spaces. No waiting for a trolley or elevator because you park right at the front door of the cottage. You have your own home for your vacation. Groceries are close by and can be delivered for convenience.
Tortuga Sunrise has high quality beds for a great night sleep just like home! It is decorated so you will feel at home while you are on vacation. It is built to Fortified Gold Standard, has granite countertops throughout, luxury floors, gorgeous tile in the bathrooms and kitchen; everything is custom in the home. Large 40 inch smart TVs in every bedroom room with a 55 inch smart TV in the living room so you can access your own Netflix and prime video. There is also a bath tub/shower in the master bath for kiddos who want to take a bath. The cottage is very very clean. You will have a great time!

We had a great stay at this property. It was nice and clean with plenty of room for our family of four. The location was great, just steps from the beach across the street, or the pool and lagoon right outside the door. The property owner was very communicative and helpful with whatever we needed. We would love to stay here again!
My family of three had a great time here. The location can’t be beat- the beach is just across the street. The area is pretty quiet which is nice. The cottage was clean and comfortable. My only recommendation would be to add a third chair to the deck. We loved our stay here- whenever we come back to the area, I will definitely book here again!
Loved our stay at the cottage very quiet an loved the covered pier! Kim Deeks was an excellent host! Kim responsed to every message in a timely manner an very helpful with anything we needed. Definitely will stay again . I’m
We liked the quiet location. The furniture was comfortable and there was plenty of room for groceries. You might want to state the name of the complex to make it easier to find. Great access to the beach across the street. The dock and swing on the dock was a pleasant surprise.

About the host
Hosted by Kim Deeks
I designed our cottages, there are three all together, so a family of 5 or 6 with big kids can vacation comfortably without having to rent two hotel rooms. I have decorated them with care as if I lived in them. I hope you enjoy them and have a great vacation!
Why they chose this property
We'd love to welcome you to our Tortuga Sunrise cottage on West Beach in Gulf Shores! If you are looking for rest and relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of high-rise condos still within close distance to restaurants, shops and entertainment, and want to enjoy staying in a new and very clean stand alone cottage with easy parking right underneath; then staying in our home will be the perfect vacation for you!
You just can't beat the lagoon on one side with the ocean on the other! From the cottage to the beach is an easy 1-2 minute walk. Our cottage is second from the water, so it looks out to beautiful views of the lagoon in almost everywhere you look. The lagoon water is typically just as clear as the Gulf, but calm and shallow, with much sea life! You can often spot hermit crabs, blue crabs, and sea skates, and catch redfish and speckled trout.
Many visitors locally rent canoes, kayaks, wind surfing and paddle boards to play in the smooth waters of the Little Lagoon! A nice break from the sand and beach!
Tortuga Sunset cottage has high quality beds for a great night sleep just like home! It is built to Fortified Gold Standard, has granite countertops throughout, luxury vinyl plank floors, gorgeous tile in the bathrooms and kitchen; everything is custom in the home. Large 40 inch TVs in both bedroom with and 50 inch TV in the living where you can access your own Netflix, use our blu-ray player as well as enjoy movies always available playing throughout the day.
What makes this property unique
Our neighborhood is quiet with only resident traffic on the road in front of our cottage. Our community is rented by families so the pool is family oriented - this is not a young adult vacation place. New beds for a great night sleep! No large crowds in high rise condos, quiet and peaceful and relaxing. Live entertainment is a quick shuttle to the Florabama!
