Feel at home in this cute, beach-themed cottage offering you the privacy of a single-family home with the amenities of a condo. Sit on your private deck with a peak-a-boo view of the gulf. Convenient to everything Gulf Shores. Gather your family and pets and come visit the laid back, friendly atmosphere of Gulf Shores. We have just about everything else you need.

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed
Bedroom 2: Twin over Full Bunk Bed

The master bedroom features a Queen bed with a brand new gel memory foam mattress, high-end pillows, linens, and TV. The second bedroom features a twin-over-full bunk bed with new gel memory foam mattresses and high end linens and pillows. Comforters are washed after every stay! The bathroom has been newly remodeled with a beautifully tiled walk-in shower and glass doors. We provide bath towels, beach towels, body wash, shampoo/conditioner, lotion, and hand soap. 1 roll of toilet paper is including with your stay.

The Living Room offers a queen sleeper sofa, a love seat, along with a large TV offering satellite and a DVD player.

The deck is furnished with 2 chairs and a side table. For the little ones or your furry family, the deck offers a gate that is able to be shut so they can enjoy sitting on the deck with you. Giving you piece of mind so they don't escape down the stairs.

There is an association pool offering tables and lounge chairs, a picnic table, bike rack, and charcoal grill (towards the rear of the property). Also under the cottage are 2 private parking spots reserved just for your cottage. There is a closet under your unit with beach toys, beach chairs, and a umbrella.

Getaway

The owner was great with communication, the location and private beach access was a blessing. Come stay at Sun Baby and bring a small family. The beach had all the seashells to collect on the shoreline and sand that was white and soft as snow.

SunBaby #1 was cozy and great for the family and dog

Really enjoyed this adorable, cozy, clean beach cottage! Couldn't find the sheets for the pull out sofa at first, but it was my bad - the owner was super responsive and helpful. Was able to fit an XXL crate in the corner for our standard poodle, and it was a great environment for him and our family to play and interact. The bathroom was gorgeous with enough hot water and shower space. Liked the in-cottage stacked washer and dryer - the loads were small but it did the job. The view was nice, porch was excellent, stairs were a bit steep but very sturdy with a good railing. Great area to walk and potty the dog as long as your dog doesn't care about traffic. We walked over to a few stores to get sundries and ice cream/pizza. The beach was super close and a nice easy walk. No dogs on the public beach, but the Dog Pond was a quick drive and a fun few hours of doggie fun in the water with the kids. 2 parking spots come reserved with this property, which was nice. The (unheated) pool was enjoyable and clean, with a good sunbathing area, and even some kids deck chairs. Really enjoyed having our own space (no shared walls/ceilings/floor with other guests), and would highly recommend this property to others.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa L

While road tripping with my family in 2018, one of our stops was in Gulf Shores. I fell in love as soon as I put my toes in the sugary white sands and heard my feet squeak when i walked. Within 6 months, our family decided to purchase a place for us and guests to enjoy. When I purchased my condo, I wanted to provide a clean, cozy home that welcomes pets as well. As your host, my goal is to provide a place you will want to come back to and visit year after year, not a cheap rental. I hope you come and stay with us and enjoy our little cottage as much as our family and our French bulldogs do. We look forward to accommodating you on your next beach vacation. Don't forget your furry friend!
