Coastal fun and beach adventures are just waiting to be had at this wonderful home away from home, so pack up the whole gang and indulge in that long-awaited family vacation to Gulf Shores! Boasting bright blue accents, fun nautical decor, and an open layout, there will be no delay in slipping into vacation mode. Step out to the private balcony and you will be able to soak up the salty air as you look out to the shared pool with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine in hand. If you need to cool off, take a dip in the refreshing water right below home base or access Little Lagoon just steps away. The fully equipped cook's kitchen will be the hub for cooking meals, mixing drinks, or family-favorite recipes as the group kicks back on the plush sofas for a movie, puzzle, or game night. Games on sight!

The bunk room is stocked with books and has a TV for movie time. Each end of the hallway features a full bath and a bedroom boasting a king bed.

Near the heart of Gulf Shores, you and your guests can be out on the sand or exploring the various shops and restaurants. Gulf Shores Public Beach can be the hub for everything from a day of tanning to the kiddos building sandcastles. Explore beautiful Little Lagoon via walking trails for fishing or boating. For a day of family fun away from the sand, don't hesitate to check out Waterville USA/Escape House or Gulf State Park!

West Side Winner

West Side Cottages was a nice little complex - #OO was perfect for our family of 7 plus doggies. Plenty of room and seating, kitchen very nice, and bedrooms were great for all of us! Loved the walking trail behind the complex - used it daily to walk the dogs. So nice to have a great place near the beach that allows our Fur Babies!! We’ll be back!!

June Stay at Westside Cottages #OO

Overall, we had a great stay at West Side Cottages. I was pleasantly surprised you couldn’t hear people in the pool from inside the home, the bay views were lovely, and the walk to beach was easy! The home itself was nicely decorated but could use a refresh of items used most often by renters (hangers, pillows, coffee maker).

Recent vacation

This property was beautiful and very modern beach home All of the rooms were very comfortable and very nice bathrooms. Also a very nice pool area…. the only improvement that I would comment on is the Wi-Fi was very slow … otherwise this property is highly recommended

Great Experience!

This was a great stay for our family. Clean, safe, easy to access. Only issue was the pool wasn’t clean and was closed for half a day. Also needed more towels available. Highly recommend!

The house was great.

The only problem was the dishwasher was broken and after reporting it, it was never fixed during our stay. It took alittle time to hand wash dishes for a family of 12

Perfect Property

This condo is excellent. Very clean and well appointed. Main floor is all kitchen and living space with a bathroom and laundry. Upstairs has all four bedrooms with plenty of sleeping space. The best part of the place is the balcony overlooking the pool area. We ate every meal outside and you can easily watch your group in the pool from the balcony. The location is perfect as well. Less than a five minute walk to the beach in either direction. A few sand toys, umbrellas, chairs, and a wagon are available for use at the condo as well which was so handy. Lastly, the West Side Cottages complex is far enough west on 182/Beach Blvd that you feel removed enough from the busier traffic and congestion in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach but it's all still easily accessible. When you factor in location, cleanliness, size, and pool/beach access, there aren't many options in Gulf Shores that can offer a better total package than this property.

Family vacation 2021

The house was everything we needed. I have NO complaints about the house. Stores and activities were NOT too far away. However, I think the POOL should be LARGER or there should be more than 1. Homes are a little to close. We had perfect neighbors. My grandson’s left his door ajar, our neighbor let us use his cables. I would stay here again and would recommend it. Thanks
