About this property

May 25 - June 5 Open! Adorable cottage w/ Beach Access

Highlights

Welcome to Longview! This super cute beach cottage just received a total facelift! Check out the photos to see the transformation.

When your vacation plans don't allow for a full week or if your group will be on the smaller side, then Longview might be the perfect fit! This adorable cottage is located in desirable Surfside Shores. This quiet community offers access to the beautiful white sand, pet friendly beaches. And Longview offers the perfect alternative for those guests that choose to travel with their dog since most condos are not pet friendly.

You will fall in love with this storybook beach house. Beautifully renovated and tastefully decorated, it truly is everything you wish for in a beach vacation. You are close to the beach but the home sits on a large lot on a quiet street, so you'll have the best of both worlds.

The Space

The furnishings are calming and welcoming, inviting you take off your shoes and stay awhile. There are two bedrooms and two full baths. The first bedroom has a Queen bed and the second has one Full and one Twin. There is also a sleeper sofa in the comfy living room, bringing the sleep count to 7.

The updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a conveniently located washer and dryer. And it is equipped with all you'll need to prepare tasty meals at home should you choose to dine in.

* Renter must be at least 25 years of age. Guests under 25 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
* Snowbirds welcome! Inquire about special off-season pricing.

Surfside and Fort Morgan

Located a scenic 15 miles from Gulf Shores, you'll find everything you need close at hand. Dollar General and Sassy Bass Market are just a few miles away and have all the basics you might need. There are several restaurants nearby offering a variety of tasty dishes. Tacky Jack's, Sassy Bass (2 locations), Coast and brand-new Jesse's (opening soon) to name a few. Some venues even offer live, local entertainment.

Fort Morgan fishing pier is now open, and anglers will have access to convenient inshore fishing and the abundant species locally available.

Be sure and visit nearby Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge with over 7,000 acres of coastal habit. You'll be able to hike through the preserve and observe local flora and fauna. There are 4 trails, varying in size and terrain and you'll definitely want to make time to visit this natural oasis.

* Parking for up to 4 vehicles
* Parking for a boat

Longview is located at 6561 Driftwood Drive, Gulf Shores, Alabama 36542

Great place for travelers with dogs

Enjoyed our first visit to the Gulf Shores area. The dog-friendly beach and the fenced yard made the trip very convenient for our dogs. The property manager was very helpful and responsive in resolving several minor issues.

Thanks for a wonderful stay!!!

Property was in a great location away from the high traffic areas while still within walking distance of the beach. Only a short drive from gulf shores. Fort Morgan is a must see if your in the area and enjoy a little history lesson. Very friendly neighborhood.

Long weekend get-a-way

Cozy and cute beach cottage, great location with a short walk to the beach. Love the neighborhood. The fenced yard was a huge bonus for our dogs. Communications with property manager was easy! We had an unplanned extended stay and the property manager worked with us and it worked out great. Great rental overall and specially if you are traveling with dogs. Would recommend

Beautiful place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first ever trip down there and the house was secluded away from town like we wanted. We pulled a boat down to fish, plenty of room for it. Comfy beds and hot showers was great. We will be back for sure!

Longview Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Longview was a good fit for our vacation plan, which included two dogs. The house was clean and comfortable. It was stocked with everything we needed. Getting to the beach every day did require some coordination since only golf carts were allowed to park at the beach access point. It was a minor inconvenience. Folks planning to carry a lot to the beach might consider renting a golf cart for the stay. It was nice having a fenced area for the dogs.

Didn't want to leave

It was our family of 3 and our doggo staying the week and we absolutely loved it! The lication was super convient to both the gulf and the bay so we never had to travel too far to get to the water. The house was clean and everything easy enough to find. We would have stayed forever if we could have!

Family Reunion

Perfect cozy and had everything we needed. We couldn’t figure out how to use our TV and the property manager came over right away to help us! One thing to note is that while you can walk to the public access beach it is definitely preferable to get a golf cart as there is no public parking for cars. We had a golf cart and had an amazing time. Totally renovated and very nice!
