This unit is located in Bon Secour Cottages in the quaint community of Bon Secour. Only 15 minutes from the beautiful Alabama Gulf Coast yet worlds away in ambiance. Located on Bon Secour River where it flows into Bon Secour Bay. Cottage 6 is a one bedroom /one bath unit that sleeps 2. The open concept living, dining, and kitchen area is bright and cheerful. Unit has full kitchen. Bon Secour Cottages was a former fish camp with 10 units that has been converted into a condominium. This is close to the beach (about 10-15 minutes, 18-20 in summer) but a world away from the traffic and high rises of the coast. As you pull into the driveway, passing under the moss draped live oak you will feel a sense of serenity and peace. Bon Secour has long been famous for shrimp, oysters, and other seafood. You can take your early morning coffee (unit has a Keurig and drip brewer) and sit on the deep water pier and watch the shrimp boats come and go, perhaps you will even catch a sight of the dolphins as they travel up river in search of food. Fishing from the pier requires a saltwater permit, available by the week for only $10 at various locations around Foley or Gulf Shores. Great dining is nearby at the Tin Top, The Galley, and Fresco, but if you prefer to eat in there are two excellent seafood markets in easy walking distance. This is a boater's dream location, with miles of navigatable waterways. There is a boat ramp at both Aquila's and Billy's Seafood and room to tie up in your private boar slip at the pier. It is easy to access the intercostal canal, Mobile Bay, and even the Gulf. The new Tin Top location can be reached by a quick boat trip upriver. Some restaurants have boat access from the canal so you can have a great day on the water.
Bon Secour is home to the oldest homes in Baldwin County, found right here on River road. The nearby Swift-Coles house is open for tours on Tuesdays and Fridays. If you choose to walk to Billy's Seafood you will see a marker telling about the Saltworks that were located here until Union soldiers destroyed them. If you are interested in history take a half a day and visit Fort Morgan and learn about early Gulf Coast life and the Battle of Mobile Bay. The fort is about 36 miles away on Fort Morgan peninsula.

    Parking was great. The cabin was adorable. A very nice, quiet little group of cabins.

    Adorable cottage in a very quiet area! Had plenty of space for the two of us. The dock was a perfect place to sit on a porch swing with your morning coffee! Kitchen was well equipped and had a nice deck in the back. Grocery store was relatively close. Gulf State Park was about an 20 minute drive. Everything was great! Would definitely stay here again!

    We enjoyed everything and the house was the perfect size! The pier was so beautiful and we caught some fish! Only thing i would say is the bedroom needs a window unit or some kind of airflow but we'd for sure stay again!

    We had a great time again at the Bon Secour Cottages. The unit was clean, with a ton of provided cooking equipment and beach toys. Everything was lovely!

    This cottage was a great find for the price—rustic but very clean and comfortable. It felt like home, with a fully stocked kitchen and a spotless bathroom and bedroom. The house may be older, but the owner has thoughtfully included everything you need. Loved ending the night on the patio and walking to the dock each morning. Peaceful, cozy, and a perfect getaway spot.

    Bed was comfortable, definitely had everything we could have needed or wanted. Wasn’t the cleanest VRBO that we’ve ever stayed in. When we arrived there was dirty dishes in the dishwasher & we had to make our own bed. Couch had crumbs on it so we covered it with a comforter that we had brought from home. Ceiling fan in the bedroom didn’t work. But the mini-split did a great job of keeping the cabin cool. Having 2 seafood markets so close was a HUGE bonus for us. If you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores, this worked great for a very reasonable cost. If you like coffee you MUST visit the Drowsy Poet in Foley! Overall our vacation was exactly what we needed. The dock across the street was phenomenal!
