About this property

On beach living at off beach price! Dog friendly.

Paw Paw's place is an old style beach house just steps from the sugar white gulf sands of Ft Morgan. This third tier home has not changed much over the years but it still has everything you need to make your beach vacation perfect. With two bedrooms and two baths it sleeps four guests. While the rooms are small, the living is big! The wrap around porch offers a great gulf view from the back deck. (Perfect place to have your morning coffee and check out the waves.) If you want to take a swim you've only 120 ft to walk to be right on the beach. A full laundry is located in the master bath so you can keep up with all the beach towels and wet swim suits.
All of your linens for the kitchen, beds, and baths are furnished; just bring your favorite beach towels and swim suit. The kitchen is fully equipped and well stocked if you are eating in. If you want to grab dinner out Tacky Jack's 2 is less than a quarter mile away and Sassy Bass restaurant, store and pizza is only about a four mile drive.
If you are in for the evening have fun playing games or watching cable TV in the comfortable living room. There you will find a full size sofa, chair and Paw Paw's favorite recliner. Cook hot dogs and hamburgers for everyone on the park style charcoal grill down stairs and dine on the picnic table under the house.
Paw Paw's in very close to several great day excursions. Historic Ft Morgan is about a mile west. Enjoy exploring the Fort and its museum. You can also catch a ferry there that will take you over to Dauphin Island where you will find Ft Morgan's sister Ft Gaines. Kids will love the Estuarium, a hands on marine life kids museum.
If you travel east about 10 miles take a walk on the Pine Beach Trail in the Bon Secour National Wildlife Preserve or visit Gator Lake. You can launch a kayak in Little Lagoon about three more miles east of there.
If you can pull yourself away from the porch. go on up into Gulf Shores proper, a 20 mile drive; you will find tons of eateries, shops, a water park and many other beach attractions.

Great Stay For Quick Getaway
Communication with host was great. Thank you leaving us the basics (hand soap, dish soap, furniture covers for the dogs, beach towels, toilet paper, and paper towels). Everything was “clean”; however, place could use a deep cleaning. Price was decent for accommodations and for it being pet friendly. We will return and rent again. Place could use some upgrades. Locks need to be changed they are rusted and did not lock/unlock with ease

Nice small beach home
We enjoyed our stay at your quaint beach house. Needs new door locks as we experienced a few problems getting the door to open. It was just a few steps to the beach and had everything we needed except a dish washer.

Perfect quick getaway
Quaint cottage with everything you need. Love the that the house and beach are dog friendly. The owners even left a couple dog bowls and treats for our puppy! There are a couple restaurants and stores for beverages very close. The best of all is the cottage is just steps to the beautiful beach. Wonderful!

Comfy/relaxing/perfect
The house was clean and very comfortable!! We loved how close it was to the beach and the beautiful view from the side door!! The only thing that concerned us is we noticed a soft spot right inside the front door. But the stay was amazing!!!

About the host

Hosted by Martha Howard, Realtor, EXIT Realty Gulf Shores

Host profile image
Owners Pat and Jerry Hutcherson have spent many years in the Gulf Shores/Ft Morgan area even though they reside in the Mobile area. They often take the Ferry across the Bay to spend time in their beach home across the street from Paw Paws Place. Patty grew up going to Paw Paws Place back when it belonged to Paw Paw. The old school beach house is reminiscent of the good ole days!

Why they chose this property

This property has been in the same family for many, many years. It brings back memories of childhood days at the beach before everything went condo and new houses started popping up. It is not fancy and while we have done a few upgrades, like putting in new wood ceilings, it remains mostly the same as in Paw Paw's day.

What makes this property unique

The biggest benefit at Paw Paws is its close proximity to the beach; t is only about 100 ft from our door to the sugar white sand. Some time that pretty white sand covers the road between our house and the beach so you definitely don't have to go far to put your feet into it!
