This beautiful 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 walking/biking trail that runs all the way up to town, through the State Park and beyond to Orange Beach is also just across the street.
Split floor plan with two bedrooms and a bath on each side. The two waterfront rooms have queen beds and French doors leading out onto the screened porch. The other two bedrooms have two twin beds each. The great room in the center of the house contains a huge kitchen, comfortable seating and a large dining area where you can share good times with family and friends. Downstairs under the house is parking for one car and enough space left over to relax in our swing. (The owners also keep their beach buggy and boat under the other side.) Not to worry, there is room to park two extra cars to the east of the drive.
We have two grills, a smaller charcoal and a larger gas grill. Have a family cookout and dine with a view of the water! Also downstairs is an outdoor shower and hose for rinsing off the sand.
Just up the road, the City of Gulf Shores has a fantastic recreation center with daily, weekly, or monthly rates. It features an indoor temperature controlled swimming pool, basketball courts, fitness room, indoor track, ping pong and pool tables, water aerobics, yoga and other fitness classes. In the winter the city's Special Events Department sponsors an outstanding series of performances.
Golfers Paradise: Who could ask for more than waterfront and a top of the line golf course! The Peninsula Golf Club is located just across the street. It features 18 holes, a pro shop, and restaurant. In addition you will find tennis courts and a swim fitness center. If you want to change things up a bit try the 36 holes of Pure Palmer Golf at Craft Farms, Cotton Creek, and Cypress Bend just a 10 minute drive away. Want more? Play Kiva Dunes or the Golf Club of the Wharf; both are just five miles away.
Shop till you drop: Shop over 120 brand name outlets on Hwy 59 in Foley!! Brooks Brothers, Gap, Polo, Ann Taylor and more draw shoppers from miles around. From housewares, to clothing, to home furnishing, there is something for everyone at the Tanger Outlet mall just 10 miles north in Foley.
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.
