Escape to your own little slice of coastal paradise! Nestled beneath beautiful moss-draped oaks along Shell Banks Bayou, this charming, beautifully restored 1940s cottage blends Southern coastal charm with modern comforts and peaceful seclusion. Located just one mile from the white-sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico and approximately eight miles down Fort Morgan Road, it's the perfect getaway for families, friends, and their four-legged family members.

That's right – we're pet-friendly! With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and comfortable accommodations for up to eight guests, there's room for everyone to relax and make lasting memories. One of the property's most special features is your own private 50-foot waterfront lot on Mobile Bay, located just across the quiet lane. Complete with a pier and deck, it's the perfect place to fish, enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, or simply sit back and take in the coastal breeze.

Just a mile away, you'll find beach access at Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, with free parking and plenty of room to enjoy a beautiful day on the Gulf. Outdoor enthusiasts will also love the local Fort Morgan walking and biking trail, offering a wonderful way to explore the area's natural beauty. And don't forget your pup! Nearby dog-friendly beach information is provided in the cottage. Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully updated kitchen, refreshed bathrooms, new flooring, comfortable furnishings, and ceiling fans throughout. The convenient ground-level layout makes getting around easy for guests of all ages.

Outside, the fenced backyard provides a great space for children and pets to play, while the screened-in porch and its cozy swinging bed invite you to enjoy morning coffee, afternoon naps, or relaxing evenings after a day in the sun. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate being just minutes from Kiva Dunes and The Peninsula, while shopping, dining, and entertainment in downtown Gulf Shores are approximately eight miles away. If you're looking for a place to escape the crowds without being far from everything, you've found it!

This peaceful lane is home to friendly, full-time residents and offers the laid-back atmosphere that makes coastal Alabama so special. Spend your days at the beach, fishing from your private pier, exploring Fort Morgan by bike, golfing, or simply relaxing under the beautiful oak trees with your favorite four-legged companion by your side.
