We've stayed at Zelan's cottage before and it was just as wonderful this time as the last. The cottage is immaculate, cutely and comfortably appointed, with all the kitchen supplies you need to eat well during your stay. We especially appreciated the small air fryer! This is definitely our top choice when we stay in the area for our fishing trips!

If you are looking for a quiet, away from the crowd, piece of heaven, this is it! This incredibly cute little cottage is the perfect couples or girl trip get-a-way. With all the windows, you almost feel like you are outdoors. But if you really want to be outdoors, the back desk is totally private, or you can walk just across the road, sit in the swing on the pier and enjoy your morning coffee or a beautiful sunset. The fishing off the pier was beyond expectations! Started using three poles, but ended with only using one. Unfortunately, I was not able to work three poles at the same time when fish were biting all of them at once.

Adorable cottage in a very quiet area! Had plenty of space for the two of us. The dock was a perfect place to sit on a porch swing with your morning coffee! Kitchen was well equipped and had a nice deck in the back. Grocery store was relatively close. Gulf State Park was about an 20 minute drive. Everything was great! Would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed everything and the house was the perfect size! The pier was so beautiful and we caught some fish! Only thing i would say is the bedroom needs a window unit or some kind of airflow but we'd for sure stay again!

Nice week in Bon Secour

We enjoyed our week at the cabin. Fishing off the dock and fresh seafood. Reasonably close to beaches and trails. The cabin was cozy and had most everything we needed.

Cute cottage in qaint area

Cute little cottage tucked away in a true southern fishing village. Small, but plenty of room for my husband and myself. Recently renovated, great back deck! Minutes away to enjoy the beaches at Gulf Shores without having to hassle with the crowds and traffic.

Great Find in Gulf Shores

This cottage was a great find for the price—rustic but very clean and comfortable. It felt like home, with a fully stocked kitchen and a spotless bathroom and bedroom. The house may be older, but the owner has thoughtfully included everything you need. Loved ending the night on the patio and walking to the dock each morning. Peaceful, cozy, and a perfect getaway spot.
