UPDATE: As of June 2025 parking will be required. We allow for two passes at a cost of $55 per pass payable directly to the host. Of a third pass is required please reach out. Passes will then be ordered and will be waiting in the cottage upon arrival.

This beautiful beach house is a gulf beach hideaway, nestled between the pines and natural shrubs of the Secor National Refuge, yet less than minutes away from the beautiful Alabama gulf coast. This is the perfect getaway for your family vacation.

This beach cottage is a stand alone unit nestled at the back of the Secor National Refuge amongst the pines and beautiful natural shrubs. We are short walk deck walk to the barbecue area, tennis courts and pool located in our beautiful community!

I have set up bird feeders right outside the front porch so you can relax and enjoy nature. I have stocked the cottage with lots of bird books, in hopes you will take a time to read and reconnect with you. I know vacation can even be a bit hectic trying to fit every activity in, but please don't forget to relax and take a little "you" time to reconnect with nature.

I have themed each room in hopes the decor will bring on excitement of your surroundings and incite joy and adventure while reminding you to relax and rejuvenate on your refreshing time away from home! We have the "Peachy, beachy" room in cool peach/orange to remind you you are about to be beach bound. We have the "Nautical" room reminding you that you are in the middle of the lovely Bon Secore National Refuge, a known bird route chocked full of life and animal adventure. A bunny rabbit may hop across the trail in front of you. You may spot that bullfrog in the marsh or that alligator in the pond! Then there is the master "Zen" room in hues of blue and green for you relation! I have taken every opportunity to insure this vacation is etched in your heart and memory forever! From the walk on my boardwalk to the the entrance of my cottage and the quaint front porch, to the nestling pines that surround the cottage, you are guaranteed amazing vacation.

The beach is minutes from the cottage. Once outside our community, an immediate left has you a short few blocks to the warm balmy gulf breeze and sugar sands that make Gulf Shores/Fort Morgan so sought after for the perfect beach vacation!

The property was nice and clean as expected. However, the sleeping arrangements were not as advertised.The twin bed was a couch and the futon’s were chairs with footstools. Not appropriate for four grown men.
