Coconut Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Just one block from the beach, this newly remodeled and updated home is going to make your next Gulf Shores vacation a memorable one! Family-friendly, this retreat is perfect for the entire household looking to get away from the everyday! Inside, you'll have two levels of comfort and convenience. The living room enjoys beautiful floors, a TV, and lots of comfortable furniture, including two leather recliners. Take your pick of where to sit, as they all serve as terrific places to enjoy a favorite Netflix movie or some good conversation with old friends. Cook up something special in the full kitchen furnished with all new small and major appliances, plenty of counter space, and lots of storage for all your favorite vacation staples, then serve your dinner guests at the dining table. When it's time to call it a night, you'll have four well-appointed bedrooms to enjoy, all of which contain new beds. There are two bedrooms on the first level and two more upstairs.

The lower-level bedrooms each have TVs and the upstairs rooms both have their own en-suite baths. Wake up to the toasty aromas of freshly brewed coffee and take your first cup out to the balcony to enjoy it in the salty sea air. After a day of frolicking on the beach, come back to spritz away the sand with the outdoor shower before enjoying a nice glass of wine on the balcony. Luckily, if you want to experience the joys of the water at home, you can take a dip in the zero-entry backyard saltwater pool, complete with a bubbler and heating options. Go for a swim to get the blood going or use the included volleyball net in the water for some friendly competition. If you're feeling more mellow, enjoy sitting on the loungers in the pool and admiring the beautifully landscaped yard. The private washer/dryer will ensure you always have plenty of clean clothes during your stay, and the ceiling fan and central air-conditioning keep guests nice and cool during those hot summer afternoons.

My favorite part was definitely the backyard. The fenced in pool was perfect for my 3yr old. He was in heaven the whole week. I also like the key lock for the back door leading to the pool. My little boy is quick and that made me more comfortable with the pool in the back.

Great Location… 1 block off the beach!

Only thing we had issues with was the tv in master bedroom downstairs-didn’t work and the one tv upstairs was the same. Called management, tech came, he left with the same issues we had. They brought brand new tv for upstairs next day but never got the one bedroom downstairs to work, which was a disappointment for my older parents, but other than that, we loved the place.

No internet and construction

Property is great and location is great. Unfortunately the unit did not have internet our entire stay. According to person that came to repair it, the bill had not been paid by the owner. So we had no access to Smart TV and the cell phone service was not great so I was not able to work on my laptop. Very disappointing. They offered me a $60 credit for the stay for having no internet. Not sure that was fair but I didn't fight it. Also the roads are under construction all around the unit so our cars were covered in dust. Finally, the coffee maker did not work so they had to bring us a new one the 2nd day. Place just needs updating.

Great pool for kids

The pool is great for little ones with a perfect area for them to play. I did not like that you could not access the back yard without using the front door, super inconvenient to carry all the pool supplies all the way around to the front of the house. The beds were not comfortable, and the house was not as clean as I had hoped. The kitchen is not "fully equipped" as stated in the description. There was not a can opener or a decent skillet, plus one of the pans we were going to use had a sticky substance on it making us all feel that the dishes were not clean. I always wash dishes in a rental, but these dishes felt like they needed more than the usual rinse before use. Overall it was a decent place to stay, however I have stayed in much nicer homes for the same amount of money.

Vacation

The house was beautiful the pool and all was beautiful but no stairs to go out back you have to go all the way around the house and up stairs to go in and out but it was a great location to everything, but how does one rent this beautiful house and not cheap and have to pay for Netflix because the cable is off saying the bill isn't paid and all the rooms need tvs not just the down stairs every one likes watching TV when it's time to unwind. And it also needs more appliances we had to literally get some dishes because of the selection that was there and also when you know someone is coming to stay please go turn the air on so it's not 100 degrees in there when they arrive. But overall it was a fabulous trip we will definitely be back. I felt like it was more of a party house there is some work that needs to be done like in the hallway going into kitchen there is wood sticking out my grandbaby ended up with 3-4 different splinters in his feet and hands and also when you know the last person had a pet make sure it's actually clean and give more stuff to clean with I didn't even have a cleaning rag or sponge Lucky I brought my own... But we did love it the kids really enjoyed the pool and to the maintenance man he was awesome but the guys who cut the grass why we where there blew grass all in the pool and we had to clean it up when maintenance man came there was so much grass in the filter that was next to the house just be a little more aware of what they are doing you have a family there on vacation not to clean up after someone they don't even know and especially the money I paid to stay there was a good amount.

Great location with great pool

The rental process was flawless. The pool is terrific. The house is very roomy with lots of beds. The back balcony would be a big plus if the stairway to the pool were reinstalled, but overall we had a great week and would recommend this home as a place to spend your summer vacation.

Loved it

The house is awesome. It has 2 bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs which we didn't even use. 2 bedrooms downstairs, one downstairs has 2 huge bunkbeds that was easier to keep all 8 of our kids in one room. The home was clean, the pool was awesome, and it was only a 3 minute walk to the beach. We would stay again anytime. Well worth the money

Clean, close to beach

It feels like the homeowners have thought of everything! From the outside shower to get sand off to the colored pool lights for extra night time fun. This home is in walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and beach access. Very clean also.

Great Location

The property was exactly as described and there were no surprises. The internet was not working when we got there but the management did everything they could to resolve it for us. I was very happy with the response time when I contacted them for any issues. The property worked great for us for our Christmas vacation. We had 6 adults and 3 children and there was ample room for everyone. Being just a few short blocks to the beach was also a perk.

Pristine and Well-apportioned

The home was exactly as described; the cleanliness really made an impact. With 3 adults, 2 young children, and a dog, we had space to spare. There is a very short walk to the beach, a grocery store right across the street with everything we needed, and a waffle house within walking distance; we hardly needed to drive anywhere. Seafood restaurant delivery options helped us avoid the crowds. The house and surrounding block is well-kept and quiet despite it being peak season. Definitely recommend this place and would return.
