Aunt Pattie's Cottage is a small slice of Heaven!! It sits within a stone's throw of the water right on the beach. The cottage is beautiful. We lived on the large screen porch and the deck. Just a magical place to go. You will definitely not be disappointed. We would love to go back.

The house was clean and spotless when we arrived. The host was very helpful and communicative the day of our arrival. The location of this place was perfect! Private and literally steps away from the water. It was beautiful and peaceful and I would highly recommend this place to everyone! We will definitely try to book here again in the future.

We wanted a place away from all the tourists and this cottage was the perfect place. It was close enough to get anywhere we needed but without the traffic and noise. We absolutely loved the porch overlooking the beach, listening to the waves, and enjoying the stars. We will be back!
Gorgeous sunset!
Beautiful home!
Perfect sunrise!

This cottage had everything we needed for our stay and was exactly as described. It was super clean. The bed linens and towels were luxurious, which is important to me. The welcome basket left by the host was a nice touch. The house manager was readily available to answer our questions upon arrival. We loved the cottage and look forward to returning.

Exceptional accommodations that made this stay feel like a home away from home! Think Nantucket vibes but on the Alabama gulf coast- AMAZING! From the history of the cottage, location (unobstructed beachfront views), pet-friendly, and well-appointed, clean atmosphere- this was by far the best place we have stayed! Perfect for our family of 4 and one small chiweenie! The host was very responsive and easy to work with! Highly recommend and we will definitely be back in the future!

Gorgeous views. Perfect location. Screened in back porch and deck was the most amazing part of the cottage. Check in was a breeze. The host was so kind and helpful. My most favorite beach vacation to date.

The house is very nice with all the amenities you need. we spent most of our time on the back porch, which is screened in and very comfortably furnished. The location is very unique. It is inside the nature preserve, and they’re only a few houses nearby. There are not many people around, which was nice. The house is right on the beach, and only about 50 feet from the water, which is very convenient. Our dogs enjoyed walking on the beach and playing in the water. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Location is great, aware from the main touristy areas. There is a public beach access nearby, so there are still folks around, but this house is right on the beach. Communication was good with the owner, and access was quick and easy. If you truly want a place to un-plug and relax away from the hustle and bustle, this is it.

Everything about Pattie’s Cottage and the host was perfect! Gantt was so great with work with. We chose the cottage specifically for the location right on the beach and it did not disappoint. The screened in porch was a bonus we didn't know we needed. The sunrises and sunsets are better than any picture you can imagine. The beach, while accessible to the public, felt private because there were few people other than ourselves. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate our anniversary and will definitely make another trip in the future. We would 100% recommend Pattie’s Cottage to anyone looking for a place to truly relax and reset. Thank you Gantt, for allowing us to share your special place.

Perfect Getaway

My family had another amazing stay at Aunt Pattie’s Cottage. From the ease of check-in to the beautiful property and location, there is nothing I can suggest for improvement. My family and I adore the beach house, beach, hosts and all the wonderful touches. It is a wonderful getaway for all ages. Our entire family looks forward to Aunt Pattie’s each summer we’re able to go!

Perfect relaxing getaway!

I came and stayed with my two dogs for a solo getaway long weekend. It was perfect! Very peaceful secluded area surrounded by a beautiful nature preserve. The cottage is perfect and well-decorated. The screened in porch is perfect for all times of day. Looking forward to my next stay!

Beautiful and comfortable beach cottage situated right on the beach with stunning views onto the gulf - I could have sat on the porch forever listening to the waves wash up onto the beach - so tranquil and peaceful :-)

35th Wedding Anniversary

Celebrated our 35th Wedding Anniversary at this cottage which was amazing. To find a near private cottage right on the beach with these amenities is truly rare and exceptional. We’ll be back for sure!
