Private Beach Escape w/Kayak & Lagoon Access

This home does not skimp on CUTENESS. From the moment you walk through the pink door and into our thoughtfully remodeled bungalow, we want you to feel at home.

Both master bedrooms have queen beds, plus a trundle bed in the off chance you end up having a kid that just can’t bear to be without you one night.

The home also has a bunk room with four beds (see photos). This room is perfect for families with young children!

If you want to "work from home," we've got you covered there too with our high-speed internet. Or completely disconnect by having a coffee or cocktail on our covered back porch or front deck.

You'll also find a spacious living area with an open floor plan and kitchen table for four people. The open kitchen has five additional chairs situated beneath the large island for additional seating.

Sure, eating at Gulf Shores' best restaurants is fun. But sometimes we all need a nice home-cooked meal, right? That's why our kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials you'll need to cook you and your family a nice dinner.

And then where to eat? You’ve got options… Enjoy sunset views from the covered back porch, decked out with an outdoor table and six chairs. Dine under the bungalow at a second outdoor spot set up for six people with two wooden tables and a view of the lagoon. Or you can stay inside and chow down at the kitchen table and island with seating for up to nine.

While we don't offer cable, each tv is equipped with Roku for watching all your guilty pleasures. So feel free to bring your own login and log in to any service you're subscribed to. We also provide free YouTube TV with 100+ channels to make sure you’re covered. There are also Blu-ray/DVD players in two of the rooms if you happen to bring movies with you.

There's even a second enclosed shower outside with hot water great for getting all that sand out of every nook and cranny from your day at the beach.

We also provide a pack 'n play and booster seat for anyone traveling with a kiddo.

So, what are you waiting for? Book your stay now and experience some unforgettable family vacation memories.

Location great, listing misleading

This property is nice overall. The reason for the lower number of stars is because the listing is a bit misleading. I'm going to list what's right with it, then what can be improved: What's right: - location is great; quiet, away from crowds, on the lagoon across the street from the beach- beach gear, chairs, toys are all great- shower in the house and outdoors are niceWhat is misleading: - Photos taken appear to be in .5, making it look larger than it is. It's probably 800 sq ft. - "Master bedroom" is a small bedroom. There is no attached bath to any room. - .5 bath is a toilet and a sink that was a closet they converted after the fact, next to the full bathroom. There is one full bathroom.- NO SUPPLIES AT ALL. We arrived after a late flight. There was no soap in the entire house. We couldn't wash our hands. - Plan as if you are camping and bring everything.There is no soap(!), no salt/pepper, no food supplies, no bags, no TP, nothing. You get 1 trash bag,1 roll tp and a couple of towels. They have plates, cookwear and untensils. After an email a guy dropped off a tiny travel set of 1 shampoo, 1 conditioner...for 4 people?!- No warm blankets.- No central air; 4 wall units in rooms.- Reviews are questionable.- No communication before check-in. I emailed twice. Later communication was better, not great.- It is between two houses. It seems this property is handled by a mgmt co, not the owners and they can improve for this price point. Has potential to improve.

The house is very child friendly with games and activities to keep the kids occupied. The beach across the street made it very convenient for our family. The beach itself was clean and very private. Restaurants and stores are just a short drive away.

Cuteness and location in one place

This was a "bucket list" trip for my mom, to be at the beach. Location was perfect with the Lagoon in the back and the beach just across the street. The peninsula is quiet and the beach was PRIVATE! Didn't see other people on the beach until the last day. Weatherproof picnic table on the deck overlooking the lagoon was great for morning coffee. Owner was quick to respond before and during our booking. There were a couple of small maintenance things, but nothing major. Do plan to bring the necessities of garbage bags, foil, paper towels, etc. There's plenty of pots/pans, plates, bowls, glasses and silverware for everyone. Check in and out was a breeze, and it was very clean. Furniture was comfortable and cozy. Bar chairs were a fave!

Private and relaxing getaway

For nature lovers such as us, our trip was sprinkled with little magical moments. We really enjoyed the lagoon at dawn and dusk. Fish strikes were abundant, and we even almost landed a few! We pretty much had the beach to ourselves, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Spot is just right for two couples. We had plenty of space and options to stretch out. The amenities were spot-on. Communication with the owner was outstanding! Very friendly and lightning-fast responses.

A special little lady

We have been visiting gulf shores/orange beach for 12+ years. Little Lady was our first experience having extremely easy access to both the beach and lagoon with both areas being very private. The property was well equipped,clean,comfortable and a 15/20 min drive to restaurants,grocery store etc. Im already sharing the link w fam and friends who have little ones or just want a quaint place to enjoy beautiful sunsets and some quiet time

Great home for a small family!

Overall, great experience! They had all of the basic necessities—other than scissors. The house was very clean and the view was absolutely beautiful! The walk to the beach was very short which was very nice with kids. The lagoon was a nice although it wasn’t clear. We fished in it quite a bit and thoroughly enjoyed that! We had our whole family in the house one night for dinner—7 adults and 4 kids—and we didn’t feel cramped for space! WEAR SHOES! Something that comes along with staying at the beach is the little prickly things that hang out in the brush. Side note: we came towards the end of September and the biting flies were unbearable. We couldn’t really hang out on the beach much—even with bug spray but maybe they aren’t usually bad? Not sure if it was because the north wind was blowing very strong or the fact that we were in the lagoon. We normally stay in Orange Beach and haven’t had a problem with flies in the past. Overall great experience other than flies which isn’t the hosts fault.

Just Lovely

We went with two little ones, grandparents, and siblings–so it was a full house. But it was amazing how the house could flex to make it all work. The location was ideal for us as it was away from all the craziness of the strip and the public beaches. All of the amenities were incredibly thoughtful. It felt like they had truly thought through just about everything we could have needed (including SO many super helpful hooks and shelves for multi-person storage). Be sure to bring coffee filters, ziploc bags, and extra toilet paper/paper towels if you use them. The kitchen was really well-stocked with necessities. The only thing you might miss are pot holders (there is one silicone one that is REALLY hard to use) and some pans for roasting if that's something you do a lot of. There are two small pans for that kind of thing–which wasn't enough for our larger crew. Oh, and the first aid kit really only had bandaids. You'll want to bring your own kit to be fully stocked. The lagoon and ocean options were clutch. Obviously the ocean is fascinating and beautiful. We were there at some point everyday. The lagoon was a surprise for us. Our kids absolutely loved the calmer/shallower waters and the grown ups had a ton of fun on the paddleboard and boats. Cleanliness was a little bit of an issue (some of the linens were not clean when we arrived, the floor was pretty sandy and we had to sweep upon arrival, and the bathrooms looked like they had been cleaned quickly), but the property managers were quick to get ahold of and the problem was resolved within 24 hours. We would 100% stay here again. Every year. It was just lovely.

Perfect for a quiet, more private stay

If you’re looking for a more private getaway this would work for you. It’s away from the hustle and bustle and the beach isn’t crowded. The house fit us well with 4 adults, one teen, and 2 kids. Anymore adults it wouldn’t have worked. It was a bit smaller than we expected. Beds were comfortable though. Relaxing on the front porch or the back deck was nice. There’s not a lot traffic down the road so you can hear the ocean but you can’t really see it. Sunsets off the back deck are beautiful. The bay out back was great for the little kids to just get their feet wet and play in the sand. The kayak and paddle board worked out well for us and the bay is pretty shallow so it’s easy to practice if you’ve never done it before. There was an abundance of sand toys for the kids, life jackets, beach chairs and umbrella. Overall it was clean and tidy. There were plenty towels for the bathrooms. The second shower outside wasn’t terrible but there were weeds growing into it. Be careful walking barefoot, there were some thorns around the property. The washer and dryer were very clean but with the humidity, we had to leave the door open to get our clothes and towels to dry. We had a lovely, quiet stay.

Cute little property with easy beach/bay access.

This property was nicely sized and had very easy access to the beach (path literally across the street) and the bay in your backyard. Nice amenities, full kitchen, etc. Great and prompt communication with property manager. My only complaint would be the mattresses -- not awful but certainly not the best night of sleep I've had. Definitely a nice little beach getaway.

Awesome Location!

This property was just what we were looking for -- cute beach house, short walk to the ocean, and no crowds!! Loved the decorating, fans, and atmosphere of the house and it had everything we needed -- well, except for oven mitts (I couldn't find any so we had to use towels which worked just fine!). The walk to the beach was very easy and hardly any traffic on the road you have to cross. It was a much shorter and easier walk than some oceanfront properties we have stayed at. Just re-read some of the reviews and I did see someone else mentioned the prickly growth around the areas leading into the house. We did have to watch going through there with flip-flops on our way to and from the beach. But otherwise, a wonderful property and I would highly recommend it!

Nice, clean and cozy! Seconds to beach!

Our family enjoyed our first visit to Gulf Shores for spring break 2022! The Little Lady was perfect for our family of 6! We have kids 12 months to 7 years old. The bunk room was perfect for our older kids! The house was so clean when we arrived! We had enough space for the adults to have a room and our baby had his own room. It was a little chilly this week for spring break! But we loved the option of the bay right behind the house (if the beach was too windy or if we needed to keep an eye on the napping baby)! The water in the bay was mild and shallow and the kids really loved their time there! The beach was just a short walk across the street (end of driveway) to a private beach walkway! Since the houses are so spread out the beach felt very private with just a few people or families at a time (very spread out)! The house was well stocked with everything you need for cooking all meals- do make sure to buy regular coffee filters, salt and pepper, extra dish and laundry detergent! One of the best things was all the beach toys we got to enjoy! So glad we didn’t have to pack our own. We also LOVED getting out on the kayak on the bay! They have all size life jackets to use. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks for a great and relaxing beach week at your beautiful house! We recommend The Shrimp Basket and Picnic Beach restaurants!
