About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

4-bed Waterfront Home, Private Dock, Beach, Fish,Swim,Relax, Free Parking

Talk about location! You are a short walk to The Hangout, Coffee Shops, and the Beach. This home can sleep 12 guests. You can fish directly off the dock and catch redfish, trout, and other species. You can park 8-10 cars on the property at no additional cost. The home has water views from almost every room, even the outdoor shower has a view. You can launch a boat or kayaks from the shared boat ramp. This is a great budget friendly family home for all size groups! With fresh new updates, I am excited to host you!

POS and cons

Definitely some good and not so great things. The location and space was really good for our family of 6 with children ranging 5-19. Owners responded promptly to questions. Short 5-10 min walk to public beach, manageable 20 minute walk to the Hangout. Peaceful lagoon out back. Several eating options within 5-20 minutes walk. The open living room/kitchen was nice Kitchen supplies somewhat old and the blender was from the 70’s-80’s and broken. Small dock and back porch was old and weathered.’The worst thing was quite a few mosquitos came out of the shower and were congregating by the back door.

Amazing vacation

Our stay was outstanding. We were hoping for some rest and relaxation but also some fun in the sun. This location was perfect for us. Spent a ton of time fishing off the dock and caught a fair share. Enough to keep us entertained. Also caught a few crabs. Being able to walk or ride bikes to the beach and local stores and restaurants was great too. Our teenage kids loved the freedom to get out and explore without us parents. Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and the rest of the surrounding areas had plenty to offer everyone in our party so no one got bored even though we all have different interests. I would highly recommend this house to anyone visiting the area. We will definitely check its availability on our next trip to the area.

Have no doubts, this is where you want to book your stay.

We have used Vrbo several times always with good results with the Garrett’s cottage and hospitality is second to none. The place is great and location can’t be beat. Far enough from the main attractions that the noise isn’t a bother at night, yet close enough that you are walking distance to anything you could want. Beach access is very close and their pier is amazing to set and relax in the evenings. Truly you do not need to look any farther this cottage is well priced well located and well-maintained my wife, two daughters (22,18) and my son (16) and I were not disappointed in anyway.

Excellent hospitality and quick responses from owner! Very clean!!

Beautiful and roomy home for our family of 11. Easy walk to the beach and all the amenities needed for all ages of children. The owners were prompt in answering questions and the neighbors were kind and respectful. Quiet neighborhood. The house was immaculate and cute. Overall, our family had a wonderful beach experience. Thank yall!

Nice outside shower, dock, grill ( we did not use), seating area for four only & downstairs laundry.

We enjoyed our stay & everything was decorated with a beautiful beach theme. This home was nice for a small family but the kitchen needed a little more cookware if not dining out. Location was good but we chose to park in public parking due to small children when at the beach. Clean home & nice seating areas outside. Quiet & would suggest this home to others!
