This was a great place to stay for our family of four. The location was right by and beach and the inlet. The A/C was super strong, and the shower had great pressure. The kitchen was also stocked with great cookware. The only bad thing was that the beds had sharp hidden corners, and we hit our shins on them a lot, so watch out for that if you go!

Nice, quiet location. No loud neighbors to listen to through the night, and the water pressure is excellent! We liked the ground level laundry room because it provided a secure, locked place for us to store our bikes when we weren't using them. Cottage is walking distance from the beaches. Front porch swing is very relaxing, although the weather didn't cooperate with us and we weren't able to spend much time on it. Description says it will sleep 4, but with the one bath 4 people will be a little cramped. It was great for a couple, though.

Very cozy and quiet place for the two of us, yet still near amenities.Would have been nice to have more dishwasher tabs, dish soap or more plates, cups, etc so we didnt have to run dishwasher as much. If it was available mext year we would rent again....

Last Minute Score

Booked last minute as an overflow of a large group. Recommend for those who don’t mind stairs as located on 2nd floor (laundry room on the 1st). Bedrooms small but not of concern - perfect for us! Clean, quiet, conveniently located.with well stocked kitchen.

TV service was terrible!!

Talked with owners and was told i just didnt know to work a smart tv. Bring your own garbage bags and toitoilet.paper bc you only get 1 of each.

Cute Gulf Shores Cottage

Upon arriving, we were smitten by the cute little cottage and all of the decor. The felt in the bedrooms were comfortable, except that we kept stubbing our toe on the frame of the bed, which was pretty painful. I sleep with earplugs so I didn’t notice how loud the refrigerator was running, but it certainly kept my husband awake at times.. we were hoping that maybe there was more linens for changing our bed and for showering. More hangers or storage for clothing. The tub plug doesn’t work. Unfortunately, I was unable to take a nice hot bath on some of those chilling nights. The only drawback is a huge condo building right behind the home that shines its lights 24/7 making it hard to get the bedrooms dark at night. I would suggest providing some blackout curtains. We really enjoyed the golf Shores. The place is super cute. If all these things were corrected, it would actually be perfect.
