1-Min Walk to Beach | Pool + Lagoon Dock | Dogs OK

🌴 Welcome to your Gulf Shores beach escape

Little Lagoon is a Gulf Shores cottage in The Madison Liv Collection.

351 ft walk to the beach! Just cross a quiet 2-lane road, and you’re on the sand in about a minute with deeded access.

You’ll also enjoy three water experiences just steps from the home:

• Beach access – 351 ft
• Community pool – 240 ft
• Little Lagoon – 275 ft with fishing pier & kayak launch

This freshly updated coastal retreat is located in a peaceful Gulf Shores community and is just minutes from restaurants, shopping, and attractions. About 3.5 miles to The Hangout and the Sand in My Boots festival grounds, an easy rideshare.

Little Lagoon is a 2-bedroom, 3-bathroom coastal cottage spread across three levels, comfortably sleeping up to 8 guests. It's freshly updated with colorful coastal decor, comfortable furniture, and everything you need for a full week at the beach.

The fully stocked kitchen handles real meals: full-size electric range and oven, dishwasher, full cookware, coffee maker, blender, dishes, and silverware. Fast WiFi throughout, and there is a laptop-friendly spot at the dining table if you need to check in with work. The open-concept main floor keeps the living room, kitchen, bunk area, and dining space connected so the group stays together even when everyone's doing different things.

A heads up for families: there are two flights of stairs in this home. Retractable safety gates are installed on each floor — great for kids and dogs.

SLEEPING SETUP (sleeps 8)

- King suite: private ensuite bathroom, luxury bedding, balcony access
- Queen suite: private bathroom, comfortable linens
- Bunk beds: on the main floor near the living and kitchen area, ideal for kids or teens
- Living room: queen sofa bed for additional guests

Three full bathrooms means no one is waiting in line after a beach day.

OUTDOOR LIVING

Two private balconies — one upstairs off the king & queen suites, one off the main living area. Both balconies face east along the island, looking toward the neighboring unit. The lagoon is to your left and the Gulf is to your right — lean out and you catch both. It's the kind of balcony you actually use — morning coffee, evening drinks, watching the sky change colors.

Down at carport level, the outdoor seating area is where the group tends to land after the beach. Colorful Adirondack chairs, a cornhole set, and shaded space to decompress before dinner. It's casual, comfortable, and gets used every single day.

PET-FRIENDLY

Dogs are welcome at Little Lagoon with prior approval. The location is genuinely good for dogs — the community is quiet, the boardwalk walk to the lagoon is easy, and the beach is right across the road. Let us know you're bringing a dog when you book so we can confirm approval and add the pet fee.

This home has two full flights of stairs across three levels. It is not suitable for guests with significant mobility limitations. Retractable safety gates are installed on every floor — helpful for young kids and dogs.

GRILLS

The community does not permit grills of any kind, including charcoal, gas, and portable. There is no grill at the home and none available on site. The carport level has a shaded outdoor dining and seating area that guests use every evening, and there are several good takeout and dine-in options within a five-minute drive.

BALCONIES

Both balconies face east along the island toward the neighboring unit. The lagoon sits to the left and the Gulf to the right — you can catch both if you lean out. There is no straight-on water view, but the orientation is pleasant and the balconies get used constantly. Morning coffee out here is a guest favorite.

PARKING

Parking passes are required by the HOA. The fee is $25 per stay and covers up to 2 vehicles (2 vehicles maximum). You must fill out your vehicle information on the pass and display it on your dashboard. Hanging it without filling it out will result in a violation notice. Let us know how many passes you need when you arrive.

PETS

Dogs are welcome with prior approval. Please let us know you're bringing a dog before booking so we can confirm and add the pet fee. Unauthorized pets will result in additional charges.
