About this property

Everyone loves our little Sunshine Cottage !! You won't find another place like this. Kinda small, not new...but you won't want to leave. It's a beach cottage off the beach...in a wooded setting surrounded by trees and green grass. House is about 3 miles from the beach, so close to everything. But you can leave the traffic behind. We have 4 homes in the neighborhood, and we've been honored with over 300 five star reviews. Fenced backyard for pups!! Sleeps 5, one queen , one full, and one twin beds. Completely furnished and ready for you. All bedding furnished , bring your towels. Everything else is here. Kitchen is fully equipped, with washer and dryer also. Sit on the screen porch and relax in tranquility.
Walk or bicycle to all kinds of places. Target, Books-a Million, multi-plex movies, a bunch of restaurants and shopping. All just about in your back yard. Tanger Outlet center and Foley just a few miles away to the north, Gulf Shores beach just 3 miles south...it's the perfect location. NOT a condo surrounded by crowds...A Home away from Home !

Very good

I liked that it was close to about everthing we wanted to do. The owners were very courteous and checked on us periodically to see if we needed anything. It was an easy process booking and leaving. The fenced in area for the dogs was very helpful. We also enjoyed the screened in porch.

Home Away From Home

My husband and I wanted to find a place that we could bring our Fur Kids with us and relax and this place did not disappoint. The Sunshine cottage was a cozy little place that we could relax between beach visits and still feel like we were home. I am so thankful for this wonderful couple and the time spent here. We will definitely be back!

Perfect for our needs

The little cottage was cute and cozy. It met all of our needs for this trip and we were super excited we could bring our elderly Yorkie with us. There's a perfect little fenced in back yard too. Target is just around the corner with a bunch of little ships right next to it.we had a great stay!

Vacation 2024

Communication was super fast and friendly with host, check in was super easy. The Cottage is right off the main drag in Gulf Sores but tucked back in a very quiet neighborhood. It was clean and cozy but close to the beach and all the attractions. Nice little kitchen and ready to use with all the appliances you should need. Also dishes and pots and pans. It was dog friendly and that was a huge plus since we brought our fur kiddos along with us. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for something affordable. We would have no problem staying here again.

This "Little Sunshine Cottage" was a perfect place for us to stay & have our dogs. The neighborhood was peaceful as well. The beach and shopping were not far to get to at all. We would definately recommend this property to most wanting to visit Gulf Shores, Alabama :)

Great host

The neighborhood is quiet, even though there is an airport nearby. There were no flights at night. He bought a toaster when I told him that the one in the house didn’t let English muffins go down. He even gave us a package of English muffins.

Wonderful experience

This property was perfect for us. We traveled to the area for a dog sport event with 4 dogs. No dog limit, no dog fee, and a fenced in yard. That is the reason that we booked this properly but the hosts blew me out of the water. So kind, great communication, and no long list of chores to worry about. The location is great. So close to everything. I highly recommend this property or another property that they own.

Cabin type stay

The owners were extremely hospitable. Referred us to a very local veterinarian when we needed one. Very accessible hosts. The house is more cabin style and felt comfortable having our small puppy with us. Location is close to anything and everything you could possibly want to do and see. Very cool city. Don’t forget to see our favorite spot, Fairhope. A beautiful and quaint town by the water.

Nicest hosts ever!

The home was immaculate. It’s located more in the “city” so next to shopping and restaurants. The beds were too small for my husband and I to sleep in same bed comfortably. Other than that it had what we needed for a convenient visit with my elderly parents!

Peaceful Stay in Gulf Shores

Had a great time. This place had everything we needed. It was so great having a washer and dryer, and the kitchen was perfect. Short walk to a great shopping center, and I liked taking my dog for a walk near the golf course behind target. Had a great stay in Gulf Shores, beach was great!

About the host

Hosted by David and Sheryl

My wife and I have been in the rental business as property owners for 14 years. When this property popped up for sale a couple of years ago we were surprised and exited. This house was my first home here. I rented it to live in when I first moved to south Alabama in 1983. I lived here when my wife and I first met. After we were married I moved on... but we never forgot about the little house on Franz St. We now live a few miles away in Elberta, and will be readily available if you should need us...Thanks !!

Why they chose this property

I lived in this house years ago and loved the location. We have good memories of this place from years ago. The neighborhood is settled, quiet, all nice folks. We were so glad when we found it available, and we are especially glad to share it with you !!

What makes this property unique

As mentioned elsewhere in listing, the location is ideal !! Walk to all kinds of shopping, restaurants, movies, book store and more !! Central to the whole area, not too far from anywhere. Everything about this place inside and out, makes it feel like you belong here. It's not a condo surrounded by crowds....It's a home away from home
