PET RULES
Please send a picture of your pet. Would love to see them :) Please note: we can not accept dangerous breeds for insurance purposes.

We have relaxed our pet policy to allow two furry friends under 20lbs, hoping it helps with separation anxiety. If your dog does have separation anxiety, we appreciate if you kennel your dog. We do not charge a "Pet Fee" however, if there is damage to the home and/ or property you will be responsible for the damage. Please let us know if you see damage. It helps us respond quickly to get replacements or a handyman lined up.

We do have free range chickens in our area, so please be courteous and walk your dog on a leash if you go outside the fenced area. Please clean up after your pet also. This will keep the yard clean for everyone. The country road is a great place to walk your dog in the morning!

Perfect in every way!!

My Husband and I were traveling to Gulf Shores to meet family that had a condo on the Beach. We wanted to bring our dogs and needed to find a place that would allow them. Not only did the Karen allow them, there wasn't an additional fee for them!! The fenced in area and the porch added to the charm of the tiny home. The tiny had absolutely EVERYTHING you would need, and was located in a great location as well. We will definitely keep this one on our list of "yes" when visiting the area. Karen, Thank you for a wonderful stay!!place that woul

Tiny House in Foley Alabama

The tiny house is just that. Small but everything is workable and in quiet area. Not far from Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Biggest attraction for this house is the complete fenced in yard for our 2 fir babies. Owners dog Rosco was a popular hit for our 2 babies. Very friendly. Rosco visited a couple times and played with our Mini Goldendoodle (2yrs. old) and our 13 yr old toy poodle was running and playing with him like he was a puppy. Rosco was very gentle with him.The house has everything except food (dishes, silverware, cookware, spices, paper towels, washer & dryer, small hotel frig. etc. It only has a warming cook-top so I used the electric fry pan and it was perfect. We were there from the 6th to the 13th. Karen (the owner) is very friendly. We would stay there again (if available) the next time we go to Alabama.

Lovely spot w/ private courtyard

Had a great time in this little cottage, a very cute place down to the last detail with an amazing private courtyard. Somewhat removed from town, a rural setting but easily within reach of nearby restaurants, bars, et cetera. The beach is fairly close as well.

We loved our stay! I think my favorite part was the peaceful porch. Mrs. Karen was so nice and helpful. She answered every question I had and was so good to us. The fenced in porch gave us peace of mind that havok (our pup) had a little freedom while we enjoyed the nice weather! We will definitely be back and we hope to stay in one of Mrs. Karen’s rentals again!

Cool PRIVATE backyard all to yourself🪴✨️🌴

I was a little hesitant to book this at first bc i had never stayed in a small home before but So glad we did! Karen has the place hooked up with all of the things! Plenty of stuff to cook with if you wanted to cook there. There is a mini fridge but we also brought a cooler to keep extra drinks outside. The back yard is my FAV part about this place! Fully Private Fence with the yard all to yourselves.with a part of the patio area covered. Beautifully put together perfect for the nature lover.. We had someone rent the place next to us there also but it was not an inconvenience to us and didnt even know there were there. Overall I would def come here again wasnt that far from all of the places we were trying to visit either!

This tiny house is adorable and very pet friendly. The fenced in area was a little oasis. I would highly recommended this property to anyone who wants to be 5 minutes away from the beach but far enough away from all the traffic. It is a perfect little retreat.

Tiny Delight!

We so enjoyed this perfect tiny oasis. Karen worked with us on our arrival timing so generously which was a huge help. The fenced in courtyard is really sweet with lush landscape & was great for the dogs. The host has thought of everything you need in a small package. We’re in the area for work a few times a year & would love to stay here again. Thanks for a lovely place!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Sepko, owner

Host profile image
I love my life and love hosting. I started hosting in 2015 and opened Beach Home Alabama Realty managing resort properties along the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Alabama coastlines. My engineering and business background helps me lead and participate on several condo association boards and I was a Top Producer in resort property sales 2020-2022. I live in rural Alabama, on the Bon Secour River, and it has enriched my life.

Why they chose this property

The Tiny for Two is a guest home on my property. The former owner was a master gardener and I fell in love with all she did with the land immediately. There are Hydrangeas, a Monarch butterfly flower garden, organic garden with pepper plants, eggplant, carrots, etc, fruit trees and a river abundant with fish. I put in a deep well that produces living water so clean and full of trace minerals. I was not looking to buy anything, but I believe divine intervention lead me here.

Since moving 8 miles from the beach, I have been blessed with two rescue animals, Roscoe and Bubbles and two chickens, Buffy and Easter. I knew nothing about chickens. True story... I went to the feed store to pick up blueberry fertilizer and came out with two chicks in a box, chick feed and a bale of straw. I now have a fenced in chicken house on a deck and eat eggs daily. YES! Great way to start the day! My friends tell me, "I want to come back as one of your chickens". I am now that crazy chicken lady.

What makes this property unique

This is a special 288SF space I built to prove "tiny" is really all you need. I lived in Japan for a while and I grew up knowing minimalist living. It's amazing how the Japanese live in such close quarters yet exude such calm and reserved demeanor. Tiny living allows people to connect and contemplate what's important in their life. It encourages freedom and sheds burdens.

The tile in the kitchen is Cuban inspired. Each color is hand poured between a metal patterned framework. The tiles dictated my color scheme. There is a queen bed, rolling desk so you can work from your bed or standing up, dining table and kitchenette, shower, running water toilet, and a full sized washer and dryer. Beauty is extended to the outside which expands your living space and connection with nature. I planted herbs and fruit trees the Ellen White way and the cedar chairs are locally made and fit a body perfectly. Play dominos, Tic Tac Toe, put a puzzle together, cut some herbs, grill out, drink a glass of wine and just talk. It's amazing what you'll learn about each other.

There is a great saying, " You don't own possessions they own you." This Tiny for Two guest home is my study of affordable housing options that encourages freedom and minimalistic living and I am happy to share that experience with you.
