Photos and Description of the Gulf Shores vacation house rental 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, sleeps 8

This beautiful new waterfront cottage sits on the north side of Little Lagoon. About five miles down Ft. Morgan Rd, its elevated screened porch makes it easy to avail yourself of the steady breezes that lull lagoon dwellers by day and night. Swim, fish or ski in the calm waters or take a short drive to the white sandy gulf beach. Avid golfers will love being just across the street from the Peninsula Golf Course. A five mile walking/biking trail is also just across the street. Flying South for the Winter? This house is the perfect place for snowbirds and it is big enough to share with a second couple for a real winter bargain.

Perfect Vacation Retreat!

Tara M Daphne
Review Submitted: October 26, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Our family of four had a short retreat at this wonderful vacation home. It was absolutely perfect! I would recommend it to anyone interested in staying in Gulf Shores! The house came with a paddle boat so the whole family enjoyed boating and fishing on the lagoon. We took a trip to the beach and enjoyed the waves and returned to the house and enjoyed a beautiful sunset! The gourmet kitchen provides an alternative to eating out every night! Very easy to stay and play for the weekend.

Great Lagoon Beach House

Mayor 48817 Corunna, MI
Review Submitted: January 31, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
My wife and I rented this property the 2nd week of January 2009, and found this to be an excellant choice. It was re-built only a couple years ago and is obviously new and well cared for. This property is fully equipped (full kitchen,linens,cleaning supplies, iron, everything)- you only need your clothes and food. The owners are willing to work with you in any way, and we will more than likely be back there soon. I would recommend this stay for anyone who appreciates a well cared-for home and who enjoy a beautiful sunrise across the water. Steve~
