Cottage vacation rentals in Gulf Shores

My kids and I had an amazing time! The home was absolutely beautiful and very clean. We had exactly what we needed for our stay plus some! You can tell that there is plenty of thought into ensuring you have what you need when there! I really appreciate everything! When I had a question the response time was so fast within ten minutes for sure! Kevin and Darlene were absolutely amazing! They were at the house within ten minutes to show me how to work the stunning fire pit in the backyard! I have zero complaints. Thank you so much for having us we will absolutely be coming right back to your little home away from our home!

New favorite go-to. The perfect location if you love to be walkable to the beach and The dock was literally the best hit for my teenage boy to fish at. You have it all pool, dock, and beach. All right at your door steps. Also, your the perfect location of being 5-20 mins from all food/activities. This was the perfect place to stay! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing beach getaway. The location was ideal, just steps from the beach, and the host was incredibly welcoming and responsive. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend. Susan, was the BEST host- From quick response, answering all the questions, and just making sure her home was perfect for hosting.

The pictures are beautiful on the listing, but it’s actually better in real life. Just beautiful, the debt goes all the way around the house. You could always find shade and cool breezes everywhere. We didn’t have to leave the house for the sunrise and that was really beautiful. The canal was so fun to have right there. We weren’t sure how much we were gonna be using the canal but we used it a lot! The beds were great. And I love how they have nice toilet paper, it seems like a little thing, but we love good toilet paper. 🤣 We will be back.

We had the BEST stay at Lucia Bleu! The cottage was so beautiful and looked just like the photos. The views were incredible with easy access to Fairhope’s pier, walking paths, & charming downtown, which is full of great food, shopping, and exploring. We were able to catch the most breathtaking sunsets right from our backyard! Katy was responsive and readily available if need be. We will definitely be back!

Host was very friendly and reached out when requested in a timely manner. Home was super clean and had everything we needed for our four day stay. Ample parking and very safe neighborhood. Would most definitely stay again.

Great host, great place to stay, welcoming!

Beautiful condo. Teresa was very responsive and helpful. We had some confusion at check in and she was immediately available and calling to get it worked out. Very clean condo! We enjoyed the walking path and the view of the bay. The walking path is directly behind the condo and leads to the beach- it’s about a quarter mile walk to the beach. We enjoyed watching the birds from the deck! The pool was nice, always busy! Overall the condo is beautiful just as pictured and described. Would definitely stay again.

Our stay was wonderful! We appreciated the beach toys and the tennis and pickleball equipment. With the pool and tennis court right behind the condo and the beach literally a few minutes drive away, there were easy options to keep busy. The kids quickly learned to listen for the music every afternoon from the ice cream truck. They also liked to check to see if the little gators were sunning themselves by the ponds. Ft. Morgan was just down the road so we were able to fit in a little history too. We did some cooking and baking, taking advantage of the fact that the condo's kitchen was well-equipped. The neighborhood is quiet and it's not a far drive to get into town for mini golf and restaurants and souvenir shopping and the zoo which is a nice size for younger kiddos. A return trip is in our future plans!

Southern hospitality at its finest! DeeDee was a sweetheart and always very reaponsive to ensure our stay was top notch and if anything was needed, she made sure we had it. Beautiful property in a quiet neighborhood. The pool was perfect. Everything you could pissibly need was at your fingertips on the property, just like home. Super comfy beds and couch. Ample outdoor seating for everyone and perfect backyard lighting for nights in the back yard grilling and swimming. Absolutely zero complaints about the property, host, neighborhood or anything. We will definitely return to the Pelicans Perch! 🤙

Amazing host, amazing stay. Our family of four and dog had everything we needed. House was beautiful and clean, easy access to beach, neighborhood was great. Awesome to have beach equipment on hand. Host was proactive with clear communication, super easy check-in and out. 5 stars.

Great host. Very reaponsive. Place was great, right accross from pool and a short walk to beach access, beachgouse kitchen, a market and ice cream shop. Market opens early and stays open realtively late. block and a half approximately from a walking path on Lagoon dr. Would reccomend to friends/family. On the west end kinda quiter than further down which was nice.

We had a blast and this location was perfect. Great waterfront location with a great restaurant on property. The house was very clean and perfect. Absolutely no issues and will be booking this house for our trip next year

This was a perfect house to stay with our family. The house included all beach equipment needed for staying hours on the beach. The house included fun activities for the kids that kept them entertained for hours each night. Beth was quick to respond with any questions we had prior to our visit. If you are looking for a family get away I would definitely stay here!

This was our second stay at Q cottage and just as great as the first time! It was easy to get inside which was beautiful and clean. Q cottage sits between the ocean and the pool/pier which allows for quick access to both. We appreciated the fishing gear and beach chairs left by previous guests.

Everything was excellent!!! We loved this place and definitely we gonna come back.

Very clean and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. A few restaurants and convenience store close by.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cottage, everything that is posted is accurate to include images. We have been coming to Pensacola Florida for years and usually stayed at the hotels so this was the first experience we had using Airbnb and due to Ella’s hospitality we will continue to use Airbnb when we travel. Ella was very responsive when I had questions. As new empty nesters our 2 dogs are like our children and it was amazing to bring them with us to share this experience. This couldn’t have happened without the opportunity Ella provided us to bring our pets. All in all this was an amazing experience, I would highly recommend the Mermaid Cottage and Ella if you are looking for the opportunity to enjoy Pensacola Beach.

We had an amazing time. The cottage was so clean and Barbara was awesome! Perfect little oasis, we will be back if we ever need a place to stay in Alabama again!

Quiet and very relaxing. Dolphins out frolicking everyday and sunsets were beautiful! House has everything you need. Bring insect repellents as they could be quite brutal at times at least while we were there. We will be back.

We've been staying in the immediate area for years and have always had our eye on the Sunrise Cottage, we were lucky that it was available this year. Great location for first timers since it's near everything to see/do in the area. For people like us it was easy to just hang out at the cottage and regenerate. It's close to everything but in an "island of tranquility" away from the mega-tourist areas. We will stay again.

We had seven adults in our party and there was plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. Amenities were great! Enjoyed the pickleball court being within walking distance. Lisa was always immediately responsive to any questions we had. We will be back again! Thank you!

The location was perfect with great view of the bay and an area to walk right out and put in your kayak. Little Dolphin Island was visible from the shore. We enjoyed kayaking over to the little island. We also enjoyed walks in the bird sanctuary’s, concerts and of course beach. The house had nice accommodations for our stay. The deck and patio below are both nice. We enjoyed playing pool on the pool table. It was also enjoyable to watch the squirrels and birds from the deck

We loved the access to the beach and the Naval Air Museum. Good food in the area especially the Shrimp Basket on Gulf Beach off of Hwy 292 going toward Alabama, excellent fired shrimp. This location is easy to find and really quiet and well maintained.

Wonderful host. Always responded very fast. Absolutely gorgeous view and so peaceful. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and would 100% book again
