Gulf Shores Cottage | Snowbirds welcome! Dog friendly and fenced yard

2 Bedroom Cottage in Gulf Shores

This cozy nautical cottage is located on a large, secluded, wooded lot about halfway down the Ft Morgan peninsula. The shady moss covered oaks in the back yard give way to a lovely view of Mobile Bay . Relax on the large screened porch or take a short walk down to the Bay. In addition, the cottage is located only two miles from the Mobile Street access to the Gulf of Mexico where there is free parking and a boardwalk over the dunes to soft white sandy beaches that are perfect for swimming, fishing, walking or shelling. Neat, clean, attractively decorated. Fishermen will love having room to park their boat and the short distance to public launching. Charter fishing close by.
Golfer's Paradise: Who could ask for more than a beach house and top of the line golf courses! The Peninsula Golf Club is located just four miles East. It features 18 holes, a pro shop, and restaurant. If you want to change things up a bit try the 36 holes of Pure Palmer Golf at Craft Farms, Cotton Creek, and Cypress Bend just an 15 minute drive away. Want more? Play Kiva Dunes or the Golf Club of the Wharf; both are just five miles away.
Fishermen welcome: For avid fishermen who want to bring their boat to the beach but avoid the high cost of properties with piers and docks, this cottage is perfect. The large yard has room for parking a boat and a public launch is just minutes away. The Shell Banks Reef is just out in front of the property for great bay fishing. For those wanting to fish the Gulf of Mexico, a launch a little further down makes getting into the gulf a short and easy trip.
Don't have a boat? Charter fishing services are close by. What could be easier!
Enjoy the City's recreation and special events: The City of Gulf Shores has a fantastic recreation center with daily, weekly, or monthly rates. It features an indoor temperature controlled swimming pool, basketball courts, fitness room, indoor track, ping pong and pool tables, water aerobics, yoga and other fitness classes.

Summary: House is cute, easily accessible, quiet. Bedrooms were fine; as well as the bathroom. I was surprised the kitchen didn’t have a dishwasher. No a huge biggie.

Summary: We had a great stay at the Shady Shack! The fenced yard was perfect for our dog, and I loved the screen porch. It’s a short drive to dog friendly Fort Morgan Beach. The bed was super comfortable, the house was very clean, and is the most well equipped rental I have ever stayed in. It had everything we could have possibly needed! We played golf several times (very close), biked the state park, and took the ferry to Dauphin Island. It’s a bit of a drive to town, but not bad and we really enjoyed the quiet and privacy of the location. Martha is a great host!

Summary: Off the beaten path, thank goodness…but not far from beaches, shopping and local attractions! Perfect location and rental for people and their pets. It was very difficult to leave…

Summary: We enjoyed our stay. There was room for our large dog to run and play in the fenced yard. It was very clean and nicely decorated. Far enough from the road that traffic sounds were muted by the trees and with view of the water from the back. The small secluded “beach” at the back of the property made this a good choice for a winter getaway
