About this property

Private Beach Escape w/Kayak & Lagoon Access

This home does not skimp on CUTENESS. From the moment you walk through the pink door and into our thoughtfully remodeled bungalow, we want you to feel at home.

Both master bedrooms have queen beds, plus a trundle bed in the off chance you end up having a kid that just can’t bear to be without you one night.

The home also has a bunk room with four beds (see photos). This room is perfect for families with young children!

If you want to "work from home," we've got you covered there too with our high-speed internet. Or completely disconnect by having a coffee or cocktail on our covered back porch or front deck.

You'll also find a spacious living area with an open floor plan and kitchen table for four people. The open kitchen has five additional chairs situated beneath the large island for additional seating.

Sure, eating at Gulf Shores' best restaurants is fun. But sometimes we all need a nice home-cooked meal, right? That's why our kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials you'll need to cook you and your family a nice dinner.

And then where to eat? You’ve got options… Enjoy sunset views from the covered back porch, decked out with an outdoor table and six chairs. Dine under the bungalow at a second outdoor spot set up for six people with two wooden tables and a view of the lagoon. Or you can stay inside and chow down at the kitchen table and island with seating for up to nine.

While we don't offer cable, each tv is equipped with Roku for watching all your guilty pleasures. So feel free to bring your own login and log in to any service you're subscribed to. We also provide free YouTube TV with 100+ channels to make sure you’re covered. There are also Blu-ray/DVD players in two of the rooms if you happen to bring movies with you.

There's even a second enclosed shower outside with hot water great for getting all that sand out of every nook and cranny from your day at the beach.

We also provide a pack 'n play and booster seat for anyone traveling with a kiddo.

So, what are you waiting for? Book your stay now and experience some unforgettable family vacation memories.

Perfect little house

Wonderful remodeled old school beach house—perfect size for the five of us and perfect location. Great hosts, very proud of their property and very responsive. Short walk to the beach and nice location right on the lagoon. Caught several nice trout while out on the kayak. Fridge/freezer downstairs in the closet was a nice convenience for loading cooler for the beach, as was the enclosed shower downstairs. Look forward to staying in the future!

Lovely vacation

I took my daughter and six grands to the beach. The house was perfect. Six Littles shared the bunk room and giggled every night when the lights were out. Short walk to the beach where they searched for shells and treasures, rode waves, and laughed some more. Short drive to Pensacola to watch the Blue Angels practice and to Fort Morgan to explore. Other than that we never left the house. It has everything you need to create wonderful memories! ❤️

Little Lady was a Winner

Little Lady was just as advertised…precious little house on the lagoon, with the most beautiful sunsets! We booked this house last minute and the communication was wonderful. The house has been updated with modern decor and appliances, and was quite comfortable for our crew of seven. The house was clean and well maintained. The kitchen was stocked with cookware, but do bring your own spices, foil, and other consumables. The outdoor shower was the best!! We enjoyed kayaking on the lagoon, sitting on the back porch for meals, lounging in the front deck to see stars, playing corn hole under the house, and of course, time at the beach. We definitely recommend The Little Lady to anyone looking for a cute, little house in a perfect location!

Awesome Location!

This property was just what we were looking for -- cute beach house, short walk to the ocean, and no crowds!! Loved the decorating, fans, and atmosphere of the house and it had everything we needed -- well, except for oven mitts (I couldn't find any so we had to use towels which worked just fine!). The walk to the beach was very easy and hardly any traffic on the road you have to cross. It was a much shorter and easier walk than some oceanfront properties we have stayed at. Just re-read some of the reviews and I did see someone else mentioned the prickly growth around the areas leading into the house. We did have to watch going through there with flip-flops on our way to and from the beach. But otherwise, a wonderful property and I would highly recommend it!

Location great, listing misleading

This property is nice overall. The reason for the lower number of stars is because the listing is a bit misleading. I'm going to list what's right with it, then what can be improved: What's right: - location is great; quiet, away from crowds, on the lagoon across the street from the beach- beach gear, chairs, toys are all great- shower in the house and outdoors are niceWhat is misleading: - Photos taken appear to be in .5, making it look larger than it is. It's probably 800 sq ft. - "Master bedroom" is a small bedroom. There is no attached bath to any room. - .5 bath is a toilet and a sink that was a closet they converted after the fact, next to the full bathroom. There is one full bathroom.- NO SUPPLIES AT ALL. We arrived after a late flight. There was no soap in the entire house. We couldn't wash our hands. - Plan as if you are camping and bring everything.There is no soap(!), no salt/pepper, no food supplies, no bags, no TP, nothing. You get 1 trash bag,1 roll tp and a couple of towels. They have plates, cookwear and untensils. After an email a guy dropped off a tiny travel set of 1 shampoo, 1 conditioner...for 4 people?!- No warm blankets.- No central air; 4 wall units in rooms.- Reviews are questionable.- No communication before check-in. I emailed twice. Later communication was better, not great.- It is between two houses. It seems this property is handled by a mgmt co, not the owners and they can improve for this price point. Has potential to improve.

Cozy, Excellent, Perfect Location

If you’re looking for a quieter section of Gulf Shores with quick access to the beach and a fun space to hangout with friends then this is a great location. There are plenty of things to keep you occupied and my group had no issue fitting 10 into this house.

Cuteness and location in one place

This was a "bucket list" trip for my mom, to be at the beach. Location was perfect with the Lagoon in the back and the beach just across the street. The peninsula is quiet and the beach was PRIVATE! Didn't see other people on the beach until the last day. Weatherproof picnic table on the deck overlooking the lagoon was great for morning coffee. Owner was quick to respond before and during our booking. There were a couple of small maintenance things, but nothing major. Do plan to bring the necessities of garbage bags, foil, paper towels, etc. There's plenty of pots/pans, plates, bowls, glasses and silverware for everyone. Check in and out was a breeze, and it was very clean. Furniture was comfortable and cozy. Bar chairs were a fave!

Private and relaxing getaway

For nature lovers such as us, our trip was sprinkled with little magical moments. We really enjoyed the lagoon at dawn and dusk. Fish strikes were abundant, and we even almost landed a few! We pretty much had the beach to ourselves, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Spot is just right for two couples. We had plenty of space and options to stretch out. The amenities were spot-on. Communication with the owner was outstanding! Very friendly and lightning-fast responses.

Enjoyed Our Stay!

We really enjoyed our first trip to Gulf Shores. Everyone told us to be aware of the Spring Breakers, but we never had a crowded day on the beach. In fact, many days we had the beach to ourselves! The location was perfect. Slightly out of town, but not too far. The lagoon was beautiful and the ocean was extremely close, about a 1 minute walk. We enjoyed having chairs and beach toys available without the hassle of renting them. The house was nice with comfortable beds and couch. If we visit Gulf Shores again, we would stay here again.

Great Family Trip!

We loved our stay at The Little Lady. We enjoyed the kayak and paddle boarding to use in the lagoon. It was a hit with my kids. The walk to the beach was very easy and the beach was beautiful. The house has everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed sitting out back on the deck and drinking our morning coffee. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything you would need. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Awesome beach vacation!

What a great stay in Gulf Shores! This house was perfect for our family. On the lagoon, 60 second walk to the beach, very quiet and just a few minute drive to town. We literally had the beach to ourselves. The house was very clean, very well stocked and just an overall comfortable place to stay. The owners take pride in their home and it shows. We’ll be back for sure!
