About this property

Private Waterfront Resort Home with Heated Pool, Hot Tub, Kayaks, and more!

IF YOU LIKE PRIVACY, YOU’LL LOVE THIS HOME! Conveniently located on Little Lagoon, one block from the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Close to some of the best restaurants, shopping, and activities. It sits on 1.3 acres in the West Beach area of Gulf Shores with waterfront and small beach on Little Lagoon.

Little Lagoon is 12 miles long, about one mile across and connected to the Gulf of Mexico. It offers great boating, awesome fishing, and is fun to explore. No need to rent kayaks as we have three located at the lagoon for your use. There is plenty of parking for the cars and a boat. The pristine beach on the Gulf is just a 5 minute walk with provided beach cart or you can put your gear in the car and park right at the public access site.

There are activities for everyone; private salt water pool with hot tub, a private beach area on Little Lagoon with a hammock, tables, chairs, and kayaks. There is plenty of room for relaxing, swimming, and fishing and the property is landscaped to be very private unlike most houses at the beach. There is a propane grill, outdoor ping pong table, bean bag toss, two bicycles, and plenty of beach/pool gear. Fully stocked kitchen and baths with full size soaps and shampoos, hair dryers, and makeup mirrors. Just bring your clothes!

The house has six bedrooms and three full baths. There are two king bedrooms on the main floor with one full bath and four bedrooms with two full baths on the upper level. The large, primary bedroom is on the upper level and has a king bed, private bath, and an attached bunk room that sleeps 4-5 kids. Also on the upper level is a king bedroom with a rollaway, and another bedroom with two queen beds.

You will love this property!

Great house, location and Host!!

This house was amazing! Very clean, well stocked and well organized. The host is also the kindest, most responsive host that I have EVER dealt with through any rental. We did not have any issues with the home but text a couple times throughout our stay with questions and received an immediate response! Check in was a breeze. You could rent this house, buy your groceries and never leave the house throughout your stay! Fully stocked kitchen. The pool area is amazing, equipped with a locking/safety gate, ample lighting, floats and plenty of outdoor seating. This is where we spent a huge part of our trip! You can fish from the bank. Hang out on the bottom level of the house outside. We ended up not using the kayaks but they are there along with seating down by the water. Drive to the beach is very minimal. One of our teenagers even rode the bike to the beach a few times. This house truly has it all and every single person said they would stay here again!

Beautiful Home with great pool

Our family of fourteen with 5 babies between 6 months and two years old all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house has everything you could ever want and it was so comfortable with beautiful views. The communication was excellent from booking to checkout. Don’t miss this house. Really enjoyed it and hope to be back very soon.

Great family vacation

Stayed for the last week. When we got there we had a few questions on how a few things worked. Response time was super fast! The house and pool area were absolutely beautiful! The kids loved using the trap in lagoon area trying to catch crabs and played ping pong every night! Kitchen was so well stocked, pots and pans, dishes, glasses…you name it she has it. Toilet paper, shampoo, body wash, and so much more were provided here. Other places I’ve stayed have start up supplies then you have to buy your own. Great experience in all ways! Thanks for everything!

The pool.....AH-MAZING- SUPER comfy beds!

We had an absolutely amazing week! The house was very clean and comfortable! Upscale with amenities for every age group. The beds....so comfy! The kitchen is stocked with more than you will ever need allowing us eat in more than we planned! This was great so we could take full advantage of the outdoor space. We spent hours in the pool! It was like our private little Oasis. The landscaping makes this home very private. The homeowner, Cindy, checked in with us when we arrived to make sure that we were comfortable. My niece left her bag at the house after we headed back to Ohio. Cindy made sure that it was ours and then shipped to us. 5 STARS!! Thank you Cindy!

Family vacation- 40th anniversary

A vacation that will be talked about for years to come. We had everything we needed for a week getaway. The grandkids lived by the pool and loved catching frogs at night. The lagoon was fun to fish and see crabs. We had a few issues, but the owners were quick to respond and attempted to fix what they could. The beach was only a 10 minute walk away. Overall, a good vacation and a great place to stay!

Perfect home for a Family Vacation

The home is very well appointed and clean. It is simply beautiful! The kids spent hours and hours in the pool and fishing in the lagoon. The location is perfect for a short walk to the beach. We had such a good time and made memories with our family that will last a lifetime!

Family vacation

We have stayed at various homes with the family over the last twenty years and your home was at the top of the list for everyone. Close to the beach, entertainment and restaurants, but quiet and peaceful if we stayed at the house. All of the supplies and kitchen equipment well above average. Would highly recommend this home to families.

Amazing Pool!

The property was just as listed. It was clean, spacious, and comfortable for our group of 6 adults and 4 kids. The privacy of the pool area was an extra plus. It is a 5-minute walk to the beach, which felt longer on hot days. But definitely walkable. There were so many fun extras, we enjoyed the kayaks, bikes, and ping pong table. We had a few questions during our stay, Cindy was always available to help us out! I would highly recommend this property!

LOVED this vacation home!

It is a GORGEOUS home! Perfect in every way! Large rooms with everything you need! Kitchen is well stocked! Loved the huge washing machine & dryer. And the home is situated back from the street, with a large circular driveway. And it was VERY easy to communicate with the owners. They answered my calls/questions immediately. (I gave four stars to the overall cleanliness originally, but after we called Cindy, she had her cleaning crew come back to do a few minor things for us! So that was awesome!!! In their defense, we might have rushed them because we were anxious to start our vacation!)

Wonderful Property

Stayed here for a recent vacation with our children and grandkids. It was lovely. The pool and hot tub were used very frequently. We had quite a bit of room. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked well. The grandkids loved fishing and kayaking in the lagoon, table tennis, the use of the two bikes, the beach, area activities, etc. I would suggest this for any large group. Thanks. . . .

Beautiful Home for Making Great Memories, Generous and Helpful Owners, Six Minute Walk to the Beach!

This home is amazing and even more beautiful than the pictures! Our group of 14 consisted of 8 adults, 6 kids ages 13 yrs -15 months. The kitchen & living area were bigger than expected and had plenty of seating for everyone. The kitchen had everything we needed including a high chair, spices, dish soap, dishwasher tabs, blender, crockpot, and beautiful Fiesta Ware dishes. Each couple had a king bed and all said they were very comfortable. Our son and his wife have the baby and loved that the home came with a pack and play so they didn't have to bring one. They were in a room with a big closet so they put the baby in there to sleep since they weren't used to sharing a room with him. That worked out perfect! The teenager had her own room, the 4 younger ones loved their bunk room! To access the bunkroom you have to enter the master bedroom and walk through the large en suite. That didn't bother us. The balconies on this house are large, covered, and furnished beautifully! The views from the balconies are stunning. The boardwalk to the lagoon was definitely wider than it looked in the pictures and we all walked back there plenty of times. We had a great time using the provided fishing poles and kayaks! The lagoon was very nice and some evenings we even saw a fox back there. The pool was beyond amazing! Gulf Shores had record high temps while we were there so we spent a lot of time in the pool. The storage room on the ground floor was very clean and had everything you could possibly need including a second refrigerator, baby gates, pool and beach floats/rafts and toys, umbrellas, beach chairs, and a beach wagon. There was even a pump for blow up rafts, etc. We used the provided ping pong table and corn hole set outside under the house in the shade. The grill was big and very clean. The laundry room was on the ground level as you entered the house and there were several beach towels there for guests to use. The walk to the beach was about 6 minutes and we used the beach wagon to haul some of our things. The house was very clean and bug free! When we arrived our entry code didn't work. We called Cindy & Mark and they answered immediately. They were able to quickly reset our code remotely and we were in! I contacted Cindy with questions a few times before our trip and she always replied quickly. You can't go wrong with this house! You really don't need anything but your clothes and personal items!

Everything and then some

Great location and great amenities made this trip one to remember. We had 15 of us and we were all very comfortable. The pool and spa were a nice retreat from the business of the beaches to come back home to. Lots of extras with the house that were not mentioned... quite the opposite of some advertised rentals. The owners were great at communicating and made everything a breeze. Wish we could take this house on our next trip somewhere else!

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Boswell

We visited the area 8 years ago and fell in love with Gulf Shores. We have another vacation rental in Harbor Springs, Michigan that is listed on Home Away #3663428. It's a very beautiful area in northern Michigan on Little Traverse Bay.

What makes this property unique

Our home is very unique in that we are in the middle of all the action, yet our pool and lagoon are very private with lots of lush landscaping. It is a perfect getaway for couples, families, or golf outings.
