This is the cutest little beach house. It was perfect for just my husband & me plus our 2 little pups. The dogs loved hanging out under the house in the fenced in yard. Hubby & I loved the restaurants, stores & beach which are all in walking distance. We will be staying here again!

Great location!
Private and great access to beach and restaurants. Furniture in living room has had use. Great fenced yard for our pup. There are sand burrs and the stairs a few slivers. Left a note for a few minor repairs. Would be nice to know trash day and have more trash bags. All said, would rent again.
The checkin process was smooth and easy! The property was everything we needed it to be and more! It was in a great location! Close to beach and shops!

Great beach cottage
Gulf 4 Shore is a great cottage and was perfect for our stay. Everything we needed was provided including a beach wagon, chairs and a beach umbrella. We loved the convenient location - everything we wanted to do was in walking distance. And our dog loved the fenced in yard!
We hope to return again soon.

Home away from home…
You know your time was wonderful when you hate to leave. I absolutely hate to leave. Already counting the days until we are in Gulf 4 Shore again❣️
Great Gulf Shores location just off 59 and the beach. Nice house with large, fenced backyard for the fur baby and fun options nearby. Missed having a dishwasher.

⸻We had an amazing stay at this beach house in Gulf Shores! The home was spotless and clearly well taken care of, which made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. The large privacy fence was a huge bonus—it gave us peace of mind with both the kids and our dogs, and made the backyard feel like our own private retreat.One of our favorite features was the space under the house—it’s set up perfectly for BBQs, relaxing, and playing games. It added so much to our experience and gave us a great hangout spot after a day at the beach.Speaking of the beach, it’s just a short walk away, which made it super convenient. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful, ideal for a relaxing getaway. We’d absolutely come back again. Highly recommend

Great Gulf Shores Beach Location!
The house was perfect and just as advertised and perfect for a family or 1-2 couples to enjoy their time at the beach. The beach is just across the street so no need to fight (or pay!) for hard to find parking. The beach cart made it easy to roll everything down to the water for a relaxing time at the beach.
Several restaurants are within a few minutes walk or hop in the car and anything you care to eat is less than 5-10 minutes away. We hope to be back!

We loved the property and having the fenced in yard for our dog. The house could benefit from a dishwasher and put the microwave on the counter, it was in a bad location. Also, could have benefited from dishcloths n dish detergent since there was no dishwasher. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Yard grown up, house swayed when someone walked across the floor, roaches in bathroom, rug in living room dirty from animals, furniture dirty, mattress in front bedroom make you feel like falling out of bed because lumpy would not recommend this house

I hope that you will consider staying with us again so that we can have another chance to provide you with a superior experience.
The house is super cute and very conveniently located to everything, with options for pet friendly places this was overall the best we’ve stayed at. Our only complaint was they should invest in new rugs or get rid of them all together they reeked of dog pee and had what looked like fresh pee on it. we had to roll them up and set the aside.
Besides that 10/10 would stay again our kids and dog loved it with the fenced in yard!
