Our family had a great time at the Cottage on the Shore! We enjoyed the easy access to the beach. Just a two minute walk thru the sand dunes to the beach. The house was clean and communication with the host was good. I would recommend buying groceries in Gulf Shores before heading out to the house. The quick access to the beach was awesome, and the house is further away from the public access points to the beach so it felt like you head the beach to yourself. Definitely would recommend and would stay again!
