Great Family Getaway With A PRIVATE Pool!

This was an amazing property and made for a great vacation for our family. We really enjoyed the large pool and pool area as well as the spacious living room and kitchen for our group of 10. Communication with the host was easy and they provide lots of amenities such as kayaks, a canoe, paddle boards, cornhole boards, beach gear and an ice maker. Fishing was good in the lagoon and from the beach. The water is very shallow by the dock And most of the lagoon so unless looking for pinfish and other small fish plan on using a kayak or canoe to get out another 150 yds into the lagoon to catch redfish or trout. The property was very clean and it was nice to be located on the lagoon with the bonus of close beach access. Being a few miles away from gulf shores was a plus as most days the beach was very empty and the area was peaceful. We will definitely look at staying here again if we can come back to the area.

The house was awesome. Very clean and plenty of room for large family gatherings/games. The host was excellent and very responsive. We had a great time kayaking and fishing in the lagoon. The dock was nice, but there is no water or electricity on it, so plan accordingly. Overall great experience and I would definitely book again!

Great location and great property. The host was very responsive and friendly. We loved our stay here!

This is our second stay and many to come!!! We absolutely love everything about this place. Plenty of pool toys, great fishing from the pier, beach access right across the road and the host has been wonderful! Great location and I think the biggest pool around. We have made so many memories here already and can’t wait to make many more!!!

This house was an absolute gem for a family vacation. The pool was beautiful, clean and warm. We were very close to the beach access. Which made it nice for beach strolls. The house is a short drive to the restaurants and stores. Neighbors weren’t too close so didn’t feel like we were on others vacations. Accommodations were updated and fun. They had pool toys for the kids which was a nice touch.

We just returned from a seven-night stay and truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this property! It was absolutely perfect for our family of five adults and two children. One of our favorite features was that there were no stairs inside the home, which made things so much easier and safer with our 18-month-old granddaughter.The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with every dish, utensil, and cooking item you could possibly need. We cooked breakfast and lunch every day along with three full-course dinners during our stay, and we never once found ourselves needing something that wasn’t already there.The pool was perfect — both the size and the temperature — and we loved spending time there every day. The boat dock was great for fishing, and our family also enjoyed using the provided pool floaties, canoe, kayak, and bicycles. There was truly something for everyone!The walk to the beach was enjoyable, and the entire property felt relaxing, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared for guests. We also never ran out of hot water, even with our large group, which was such a bonus!Most of all, Becky was an amazing host. She was kind, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful stay. This has honestly been our favorite house we’ve ever stayed at, and we are already looking forward to coming back!

We absolutely loved our stay here and would love to return. The pool was our favorite part and my kids couldn’t get enough of it. Easy walk to the beach even with toddlers and my 90 year old grandfather. Very private and relaxing location.

This house was great! Had everything we needed. So nice to have the pool when it was too windy for the beach. Host was amazing. Will return.

My group really enjoyed every aspect of this property from the internal amenities to the external. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with everything we could have needed and the entire house was clean and spacious. We loved the dock for fishing, the heated pool and paddle boards and bikes. The property owner was fantastic to work with! We would love to make this our “go to” property!

So many checkmarks with this property. Near beach access , heated pool for cooler days , spacious rooms and living space , a kitchen counter that will make every wife envious , amazing outdoor views . My family of 7 had a blast for spring break this year. Will certainly look to use this property again!

Interior was spotless, everything needed was on hand and ready to use (kitchen equipment, towels, bedding, washer and dryer, etc).

We absolutely treasured our stay at Southern Palms Cottage! Becky was so incredibly kind and easy to communicate with if needed; we really felt at home at such a special place! The space was perfect for our family (my husband and I, our 11 mos. and 5 yr. old kiddos, and grandparents)- we had all that we needed and more already there and appreciated access to pool toys, a beach wagon, kayak, paddle boards, and canoe. We divided our time between the pool (so enjoyed the size), the beach (super short walk away) and pier (we loved the swings and watching the fish jump- even caught a few!). We loved being away from the crowds but close enough to run to town or within 20-30 min of some amazing food. We have made so many memories and really enjoyed this vaca- we would love to come back! Don’t hesitate on this one!

Our family have been going to Gulf Shores since 2013 and this house has now been marked our all time favorite! Spacious, beautiful, comfortable home with the convenience of a private pool, little lagoon AND ocean/beach just a few steps away. We will definitely be booking this one again! Thank you for allowing my family to relax and enjoy our family vacation.

When I tell you that this vacation was perfect, I absolutely mean every single word of it!! We literally did not want to leave! The house was amazing, the location was spot on and it was as if we had our own private beach. The pier was such a plus and kept my teenage grandsons off their phones. I hate to wish my life away, but we cannot wait until next year. Oh, and Becky is the best!!! So responsive to everything that we needed. You will not be disappointed booking this little piece of paradise!

The house is absolutely beautiful!! My family had an amazing trip with the close proximity to the beach and a pool in the backyard. The owners were responsive and very organized. We have so many amazing memories!

his home was the perfect Gulf Shores getaway! Located just off the main strip, it offered a peaceful retreat while still being close to everything. The short walk to beach access was super convenient, and the beach itself was quiet and never crowded, such a gem!We especially loved the dock, we fished every evening and the fish were biting like crazy! The private pool was also a huge plus, especially since there were a lot of jellyfish in the ocean during our stay.The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, fun-filled vacation spot!

Great area. A little out of town. Swim in the bay, pool or trip to the beach. Secluded enough not to be in the crowded part of the beach. Highly recommended.

We had a great time and enjoyed our stay. Great location for the beach and activities in the little lagoon. Highly recommend!

The property was as listed. We had everything we needed. The kids loved the pool and kayaking in the lagoon. The beach is a short walk away and was easy to access.

We loved everything about this property. The location was great being outside the busier parts and the houses had great space between. The pool and fishing pier were a hit for our group. Someone was out on the pier every night and we caught a lot of fish! The space inside the home was beautiful and plenty of room for the amount of us. There were eleven of us total and actually we made the sunroom a bedroom. And I have to mention the beach access was awesome. And we felt like we had the beach to ourselves. Not many people on that part of the beach.We loved it so much we hope to make it a tradition to come to this house every year. I am actually booking again for next summer soon! Thank you so much for renting out your beautiful piece of paradise!

Great clean place to relax and enjoy the beach.

The house was clean and so nice! The pool was amazing to have, while also having access to the lagoon and being across from ocean access. They had all of the amenities needed to stay, even with a 6 month old. Would definitely recommend!

Too much to say about this beach house! Plenty of room and super clean. Perfect area for relaxing at the pool. So much available to do just at the house. Canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and a quite beach right across the street. Fabulous house and perfect hosts!

Peace, laughter, and room to dance in the kitchen/great room. I relaxed on the sun porch for morning coffee. Beach time and pool time as well as a lagoon beach kept our family busy and happy. Sunsets and sunrises on the deck completed a perfect stay. Becky was so helpful answering all my questions. She feelsLike a friend!

Tje house was great as was the location. Four and a half miles from the bustle of the main drag.

It was fabulous, plenty of space for the 9 of us. Huge island for food and prep, with plenty of bathrooms. Pretty much whatever you need they have it there for you. Pool was great for the kids especially when the weather wasn’t favorable for the beach. Close walk to the beach, great swings at the bay to take in the breeze and sunset, we would definitely return!!

To start, communication with property manager was great. From check in to check out, they were super informative and responsive. They monitored pool heat temperature closely and let us know when they saw a problem (pool low on water)…let us know what to do and even called pool technician out to inspect. Property is as described and seen on the posting. Kids (and adults) loved the bay beach…tons of little wild life for the kids to observe. Kayaking was a blast…just be wary if it gets windy out. Walk to the beach was a breeze and essentially felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves. Open house concept was awesome for general entertainment. The pool setup is a huge highlight…huge pool, great temperature control during Spring. Rreak time, no complaints. Location is a bit remote (plan for 15-30 minute commute to get to most local restaurants/entertainment)… the property is so peaceful and quiet. Highly recommend this place!

We love this property and the owner! It’s beautiful and something for everyone in one location, fishing, swimming and beach. This is our second stay and we will be back!

We stayed at the most amazing home. Wonderful quiet neighborhood, beautiful views, close to everything, wonderful owner who communicated frequently, clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, best getaway ever. The only issue is that the pool heater is not heating as well as it should but the owner is aware and working to correct it.
