Charming Oceanfront Cottage

Everything about Pattie’s Cottage and the host was perfect! Gantt was so great with work with. We chose the cottage specifically for the location right on the beach and it did not disappoint. The screened in porch was a bonus we didn't know we needed. The sunrises and sunsets are better than any picture you can imagine. The beach, while accessible to the public, felt private because there were few people other than ourselves. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate our anniversary and will definitely make another trip in the future. We would 100% recommend Pattie’s Cottage to anyone looking for a place to truly relax and reset. Thank you Gantt, for allowing us to share your special place.

The house is very nice with all the amenities you need. we spent most of our time on the back porch, which is screened in and very comfortably furnished. The location is very unique. It is inside the nature preserve, and they’re only a few houses nearby. There are not many people around, which was nice. The house is right on the beach, and only about 50 feet from the water, which is very convenient. Our dogs enjoyed walking on the beach and playing in the water. We very much enjoyed our stay.

The beach house was absolutely perfect. We loved the history provided, the rustic and homey decor with a few modern luxuries thrown in. The screened in porch was my favorite part of it. I spent a lot of time out there reading and watching/listening to the waves. The beachfront views are amazing! Loved watching the dolphins and pelicans daily. Its the perfect place to relax and enjoy a lazy beach life. I would give it 10 stars, if I could! I only have one con. And not huge. But be aware the public beach access is right next to the house. The only problem with that is for some reason, fisherman with carts wont come off the walkway and go to the left where there is probably two miles of open beach with no houses. They go to the right and set up fishing camp right in front of this beach house....every day! Yes, we realize that area is open to anyone, but if you have all that open beach area, why pick a house that is probably rented out to set up your fishing camp? We just didn't understand that thought process. Seemed thoughtless. So if you want to utilize the beach right in front of the house you paid good money to rent, we suggest go out before the sun rises and set up your own little camp with your beach chairs, drink holders, etc to claim it. Unfortunately, we didn't think of that until our last morning. Lol!! And maybe this was just a bad week for that happening and doesn't happen all the time. Who knows. GREAT HOUSE THOUGH!! Loved it!! :)

Exceptional accommodations that made this stay feel like a home away from home! Think Nantucket vibes but on the Alabama gulf coast- AMAZING! From the history of the cottage, location (unobstructed beachfront views), pet-friendly, and well-appointed, clean atmosphere- this was by far the best place we have stayed! Perfect for our family of 4 and one small chiweenie! The host was very responsive and easy to work with! Highly recommend and we will definitely be back in the future!

This place is adorable. Amazing location, clean and cozy.

Perfect, peaceful place! A slice of heaven right here on earth!

Location is great, aware from the main touristy areas. There is a public beach access nearby, so there are still folks around, but this house is right on the beach. Communication was good with the owner, and access was quick and easy. If you truly want a place to un-plug and relax away from the hustle and bustle, this is it.

Gorgeous views. Perfect location. Screened in back porch and deck was the most amazing part of the cottage. Check in was a breeze. The host was so kind and helpful. My most favorite beach vacation to date.

This place is the absolute best and everything about staying here was enjoyable

Celebrated our 35th Wedding Anniversary at this cottage which was amazing. To find a near private cottage right on the beach with these amenities is truly rare and exceptional. We’ll be back for sure!

My second time to stay at Aunt Patty’s… the perfect little beach house !! Cant wait for my next time !!

Aunt Patties, quickly became one of our new favorite places! This amazing beach front, is clean, well kept, a great location right on the beach, and so much more! They are thought of all the little details to make this stay a true home away from home. We highly recommend Aunt Patties, thank you for a wonderful stay! We cannot wait to come back again soon!

We had such a wonderful time! This beach house is so adorable! Think Magnolia meets Gulf Shores. Plus, it is super clean. I’m the kind of weirdo that brings her own sheets to places and wears socks everywhere. Not at this place. I felt right at home. The beach is beautiful and perfect for kids. We found amazing shells, loved walking over to the sand bars, saw dolphins playing, and loved seeing the crabs. This was truly an amazing vacation!

My family had another amazing stay at Aunt Pattie’s Cottage. From the ease of check-in to the beautiful property and location, there is nothing I can suggest for improvement. My family and I adore the beach house, beach, hosts and all the wonderful touches. It is a wonderful getaway for all ages. Our entire family looks forward to Aunt Pattie’s each summer we’re able to go!
