Quiet Cottage at The Rookery - Steps to Pool & Short Walk to Beach

The Rookery 1601 - Quiet Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Escape to our 3BR, 2BA (sleeps 7) cottage in The Rookery, a quiet Gulf Shores community on the edge of the Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge. Take in a sunset over Mobile Bay, walk a couple blocks to the beach or enjoy an onsite hot tub, pool, and tennis courts. Drive 20 minutes to downtown for eateries and entertainment.

INSIDE THE COTTAGE

Park right outside your door with space for several vehicles and step up to the screened porch with bench seating.

The front door enters to the open concept living, dining, and kitchen areas. Light wooden floors are topped with a tan throw rug for a sandy feel in the living area, which offers sofa and recliner seating for 6.

Heading back toward the kitchen, the dining table separates the living and cooking areas. Seat 6 around the wooden table for board game nights or family feasts.

The kitchen has a clean, all-white decor and all the appliances and accessories you’ll need, including a fridge, stove/oven combo and microwave, and a dishwasher.

Off the living area is the king-size master bedroom with a 40' smart TV and en-suite bath to enjoy a little extra privacy. Settle in with plenty of closet and dresser space to unpack and stay a while. Bring your favorite bubble bath to utilize the tub/shower combo for added relaxation.

Just before the entrance to the guest bathroom is the laundry facility. Washer and dryer are ready for your used beach towels and bathing suits.

The next door off the dining area is the full guest bathroom with tub/shower combo and single vanity. It has a connecting door that also leads into the queen-size 2nd bedroom. This bedroom features a closet stocked with board games for the kids and is located just off the dining area.

The kids’ bedroom is across the hall, opposite the kitchen. Here, a twin-over-full bunk offers sleeping for 3. For cartoons in the morning, check out the 32” smart Roku TV and DVD player.

Please note: There is an air mattress available.

OUR LOCATION

You’re a quick stroll from the resort pool, hot tub, and tennis courts. Beach access is a quick walk of a couple blocks, and downtown’s shops and restaurants are 20 minutes away.

Or find delectable eats even closer to home. Sassy Bass Amazin’ Grill is less than a mile away and has options for kids and a great cocktail menu, as if their fresh oysters and catch of the day dishes aren’t enough to wow you. If you don’t want to let the water out of your sight, check out Tacky Jack’s on Fort Morgan for seafood with waterfront views, 5 minutes from home.

Ready to get outdoors? Take a hike and learn about wildlife at the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge just 7 minutes away. Rent a kayak or plan a deep sea fishing trip in the gulf. The world is your oyster!

On your way back toward the airport, why not plan for a stop at Waterville USA? Twenty minutes from your front door, waterslides and lazy rivers are waiting for you.

Great Service-Nice Cottage
Well, it started off a little rough when we could not get connected to the local stations (World Series), but we figured it out. Next, we did not have any bath soap, shampoo or conditioner. Texted VACASA. VACASA acted immediately to resolve all of our issues. With the hiccups taken care of; we truly enjoyed our 3 nights at the cottage. Furniture was really nice, kitchen had everything we needed. Air and heat worked great; parking was right out front; and only 2 steps up to bring all of our luggage into the cottage. We would highly recommend this cottage in the Rookery.

Quiet Cottage
First of all, we did not know this was a duplex until the second night when someone checked into the other unit, who were quite noisy. This was not in description. Also, when we were arriving back to the cottage after dark- the outside lights did not work. I reported this- but was never fixed- may have just needed bulbs , but no-one ever came to check. Overall the cottage was clean, there were a couple items left in shower from previous renter- like a shampoo bottle and what looked like an armband that had been cut off was over top of shower rod. I did find cobweb behind table in living area when went to plug in phone. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and were comfortable.
