Escape the crowds and discover the perfect beach retreat at Paws & Relax, a newly updated, meticulously maintained home just 20-25 minutes from Gulf Shores but a world away from the hustle and bustle! This charming 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom haven is tucked away on a quiet, dead-end street and offers the ideal combination of relaxation and adventure. You’ll see why our 5-star reviews speak for themselves!

Wake up to the sight of the Gulf and bay from our spacious, covered front porch—your new favorite spot for sipping coffee and listening to the waves gently roll in. Inside, you'll find two luxurious king suites, each featuring plush memory foam mattresses and private bathrooms. Our third comfortably sleeps up to 4 more guests with a queen bed and twin-over-twin bunks that are custom-built to accommodate adults too!

Grab the beach towels and chairs and load up one of the provided beach carts for a short 150-yard stroll that brings you to the soft, white sands of the beach. After a fun-filled day in the sun, rinse off the salt and sand in the convenient, enclosed outdoor shower, complete with both hot and cold water. Then, fire up the top-of-the-line charcoal grill for a sunset BBQ under the house, where you'll find two picnic tables shaded and ready for an outdoor feast.

The Paws & Relax experience doesn’t stop there—this family- and dog-friendly home features a gated front porch for the little ones (and pups), a spacious living area with a 75 Roku Smart TV for movie nights, and a fully stocked kitchen, perfect for whipping up everything from breakfast to a beachside dinner.

After a peaceful day at the beach and dinner, wind down with a glass of wine on the front porch, listening to the sounds of the waves and watching the sunset. Whether you’re looking to relax, explore, or simply enjoy some quality family time, Paws & Relax is your perfect home away from home.

    Paws & Relax was amazing. My family and I really enjoyed our time as well as our furry family member. It was peaceful, relaxing and a short walk to the beach. Highly recommend.

    We loved our stay at this vacation home! It was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. Finding a nice, well maintained place that allows dogs and is close to the beach has been a challenge for years so we were thrilled to discover this gem. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to other pet owners.

    Even more little touches have been added, since our visit last year, to make our stay enjoyable. Except for clothes, personal items & food, Michelle seemingly provides everything you could possibly need for the beach itself as well as in the kitchen or laundry. Clean, well-arranged house & very responsive host!

    From the first moment I connected with Michelle, I knew I had made the right decision for this beach trip. The home is absolutely perfect. I hadn't mentioned that I am sensitive to fragrances, and renting a beach house that accepts dogs, I just assumed there would be unpleasant cover-up scents. There were none. The house is so clean, there is no need to cover up any smells. Beds were comfortable, sheets were soft, kitchen was well stocked. Two master bedrooms with baths connected to each. Steps away from the beach with everything you could need - including a downstairs shower to either bathe or just spray off the sand. It was just what I needed. I suffered a tragedy the day I was to leave for the beach, I could not go for the first week and wasn't sure if I could make it for the second. Michelle kept in close contact with me and was so very comforting. I cannot say enough about her generosity and kindness. There will never be another location other than hers that I stay at. Thank you again Michelle. We will see you soon!

    Our group of five, with two dogs, spent a week at Paws & Relax. This is the most well-appointed rental we have ever stayed at. The kitchen amenities were appreciated by everyone. We had everything we needed to cook whatever kind of meals we liked. As always, the house was spotless. The beds were super comfortable, and we enjoyed the new living room furniture. Everyone enjoyed their stay.

    Wonderful home nestled in perfect spot. Located just steps from quiet beach, you could see the beautiful sunsets from beach or front porch. House was clean and well kept and we loved all of the “extra touches” for us and our pup. Great communication and Michelle was a pleasure to rent from. We will definitely return.

    This vacation house with all amenities was PERFECT! The owner, Michelle, made sure to exceed our expectations with special treats for us and for our fur babies! She was so sweet, helpful, and very accommodating. She has a unique talent for understanding the details that matter. The house was well stocked, super clean and fresh, and beautifully staged. The owners have thought of everything including chairs and toys for the beach! It provided a much needed escape that still felt comfortable like home. Neighbors were nice and cordial, and the dead-end street was quiet and only a short stroll to the beach with a large shade canopy awaiting us (we did not have to set it up ourselves) - worry-free! Although we don't want to share this secret gem, the owners deserve credit for an exceptional home that is balm for the soul. We look forward to next time!

    First time at Gulf Shores and the cottage Paws and Relax lived up to its name. We celebrated my retirement and it was a blast. There were five adults, 1 infant and 2 dogs and our host was very accommodating to our needs. We loved the cottage and having access to a cart to easily haul stuff to the beach were there was a huge covered area for us. My family wanted to stay longer since it was so nice and the weather was perfect! Thank you Michelle for making my retirement vacation a memorable one! We will try to make it back again. Highly recommend for families with dogs.

    We had a great experience staying here for a week long family vacation. The house is very well equipped with everything you could need and more for families and dogs alike! Comfortable beds and living room furniture. Beach carts, hose and outdoor shower really came in handy. Michelle was very kind and responsive when needed. Would recommend and stay again.

    I can’t say enough great things about this house and the owners! We have vacationed at Gulf Shores/Orange Beach/Ft. Morgan over 20 times and this is hands down the best rental we have ever had. Michelle’s attention to detail is amazing - from the perfect, comfortable decor to the availability of supplies. You can literally just show up with your clothes, swimsuit, sunscreen and a quick grocery trip. It was so nice to also have all the beach supplies available, especially the tent already set up at the beach. Neighbors on the street and at the beach were pleasant and friendly. We will definitely be back! Michelle was wonderful to deal with, before and during our rental. She was always instantly accessible and helpful. FYI this would be a perfect house for 2 families with kiddos - 2 king suites plus a bunk room.

    This place is great! We have stayed in this neighborhood multiple times over the years and this by far was the best place we’ve stayed. This place is very nice, clean and very well stocked. Anything you can possibly need for the beach including beach chairs, wagons, coolers and games. The house is very nice and again well stocked with anything you need to cook and eat with, including spices and essentials. 3 full bathrooms was great. We (6 adults) traveled with our 2 labs, they had a great time. The house is even stocked with dogs in mind. The owner is very easy to contact and work with, she made our stay great. We are planning our next trip already and will be booking again soon. Thanks for making our trip great!

    Paws and Relax home is spectacular! We have stayed for 3 consecutive years for over 2 weeks each time and love it! Every item and service is available in the home! It is always clean and well kept! The owners really care about our comfort and just finished an upgrade! The (inside and outside) furniture and bedding is very comfortable! Our favorite times were relaxing on the front porch. The kitchen is stocked with high end appliances, cutlery, dishes, pots, pans, spices, Keurig, cutting boards - everything needed and more! There are large Roku TV’s in all the rooms- the living room TV was 71”! It’s wonderful to rent a vacation home and have better accommodations than ever experienced - and they are consistent. Beach items are provided so ocean enjoyment is easy! The neighborhood is lovely with charming people. There are many activities, shops and restaurants nearby. The home location is ideal! We are planning our return trip and look forward to another extraordinary vacation! Michelle is so easy to work with, attentive and available!

    I rent at Fort Morgan several times a year and this was one of the nicest homes we've stayed in and was perfect for our family of 4. The location is wonderful with or without dogs. Short, easy walk to the beach. I loved being able to walk to the fort each day. There's a beautiful stretch of beach that is a protected area that belongs to the fort. The house was the best stocked and most organized we've ever stayed in. Lots of thought went into providing anything you might need. Beds were extremely comfortable, lots of room and the entire property was neat and clean. The front porch was nice and had a gate for the pets. Great communication from the owner. I would highly recommend the property.

    This beach trip included family members from Alabama, Georgia, and Arkansas. The house was perfect for all 6 of our guest to be comfortable. The home provides every amenity a person can ever need. We cooked and/or grilled most of our meals, and it was like cooking in my personal kitchen. The owner is so thoughtful to ensure that all comforts of home are included in this perfect beach get-a-way. She provides beach towels, all beach necessities such as chairs, toys, coolers and wagons. The extreme comfort level was extended to the beach when she contracted with a local company to provide us with a large, secured tent that was there waiting on us with no efforts on our part. Upon arrival, we were greeted with boxes of unique and delicious sweets that had a way of making us feel welcome and special. She also included specialty made treats for our animals!! This house is perfect, fresh, and comfortable. I highly recommend it. Thank you Paws and Relax for the perfect vacation home!
