The place was clean and very nice inside, had everything we needed for our stay. The host was quick to help with the door code issue we had (dead battery on lock) was solved in a timely manner and it is very close to the beach. Crossing the street to get to the beach was kind of tricky at certain times of the day but thats expected. I will say in our opinion the place was kind of small for our family, of 2 adults and 3 preteens. This was not a host or advertisement issue just our opinion for our family. This is a place we would consider staying at again because it was great.

Gulf Shores getaway

Sun Baby was a perfect place for our family vacation, and even better that our dogs were welcome. The house was very clean and well equipped and we loved that it was just a short walk across the street to the beach. We also liked that it’s a short drive to all the shops and restaurants in the center of town. We’d certainly consider returning if we visit Gulf Shores again.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa L

Host profile image
While on a road trip with my family in 2018, one of our stops was Gulf Shores. I fell in love with the area as soon as I put my toes in the sugary white sands and experienced the "squeak" as I walked to the water's edge. Within six months, our family decided to purchase a place for us and for 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. 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!

Why they chose this property

Sun Baby is located in the quieter part of Gulf Shores. It's close to the main highway, restaurants, shopping and entertainment and has almost everything you need for your beach vacation.

What makes this property unique

This is a detached, free-standing cottage and provides more privacy and quiet than a multi-unit building.
