Gulf Shores getaway

Sun Baby was a perfect place for our family vacation, and even better that our dogs were welcome. The house was very clean and well equipped and we loved that it was just a short walk across the street to the beach. We also liked that it’s a short drive to all the shops and restaurants in the center of town. We’d certainly consider returning if we visit Gulf Shores again.

Getaway

The owner was great with communication, the location and private beach access was a blessing. Come stay at Sun Baby and bring a small family. The beach had all the seashells to collect on the shoreline and sand that was white and soft as snow.

Perfect!

My family and dog really enjoyed our stay at sun baby. It was such a perfect location, walkable distance to restaurants, store, and the beach access was incredibly close. The beds were clean and comfortable. The bathroom was fully stocked and updated, the kitchen was supplied with essentials to make meals. We loved having access to a washer and dryer during our stay. The outside shower was perfect to rinse off before walking in. We will definitely be booking here again.

Perfect Cottage

Sun Baby Cottage checked all the boxes: comfortable, cool, steps from the beach, squeaky clean, updated, beach vibe decor! If cleanliness, comfortable mattresses & pillows and an A/C that works is important to you - this is the place! Location was quiet but super close to everything that counts, especially the beautiful beach! Absolutely recommend and we would book here again!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa L

Host profile image
While on a road trip with my family in 2018, one of our stops was Gulf Shores. I fell in love with the area as soon as I put my toes in the sugary white sands and experienced the "squeak" as I walked to the water's edge. Within six months, our family decided to purchase a place for us and for guests to enjoy. When I purchased my condo, I wanted to provide a clean, cozy home that welcomes pets as well. As your host, my goal is to provide a place you will want to come back to and visit year after year. I hope you come and stay with us and enjoy our little cottage as much as our family and our French bulldogs do. We look forward to accommodating you on your next beach vacation. Don't forget your furry friend!

Why they chose this property

Sun Baby is located in the quieter part of Gulf Shores. It's close to the main highway, restaurants, shopping and entertainment and has almost everything you need for your beach vacation.

What makes this property unique

This is a detached, free-standing cottage and provides more privacy and quiet than a multi-unit building.
