Great Family Getaway With A PRIVATE Pool!

Everything you want in a special family getaway!

Relax on the remote beach, fish off the private pier, enjoy a sunset from the boathouse swings, kayak the lagoon, learn to paddle board, bike on the bike path, or laze by the new custom pool. All of these are at your fingertips with a West Beach vacation to Southern Palms Cottage. Located directly across from the gulf and right on the lagoon, this home will provide the space you need for the whole family. All living and bedrooms are located on one level and the open floor plan provides exceptional space for everyone to gather. We know you will love cooking in the fully stocked gourmet kitchen with HUGE island while watching the 65 inch TV in the living room! The front porch provides the perfect spot to sip coffee in the mornings while listening to the crashing waves of the Gulf of Mexico, while the back porch allows you to feel away from the hustle and bustle of the world while watching the sunset over the pier. The long driveway and 6 covered parking spots allows you to comfortably plan your vacation without having to worry about car restrictions.

Amazing Getaway
We stayed at the most amazing home. Wonderful quiet neighborhood, beautiful views, close to everything, wonderful owner who communicated frequently, clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, best getaway ever. The only issue is that the pool heater is not heating as well as it should but the owner is aware and working to correct it.

Wonderful home!
We booked this very last minute due to being evacuated from our vacation in Cape San Blas and we were not disappointed!! The pictures depicted the house just as it is! The kitchen and living area were perfect for our 2 families. The pool is the largest we've had with a vacation rental! The owner, Ms. Becky, was very quick to respond and extremely welcoming! Highly recommend this property!

Amazing and Relaxing Vacation
Everything about this vacation home is above expectations. The home is so clean and beautifully decorated, offering plenty of space, amenities, and comfort. The kitchen is huge and has EVERYTHING you could think to need. Bedrooms are just right and the beds are very comfortable. The pool is perfect. Pictures don’t do it justice, because you don’t realize how big it is until you see it for yourself. My absolute favorite is the dock on Little Lagoon where we watched the most beautiful sunsets. There are also kayaks, paddleboards, and a canoe, to explore the lagoon. We did not use these during our stay because I was a little intimidated by the size of the lagoon. A much more experienced and confident kayaker would definitely appreciate these extras! The walk to the beach was short, but made even easier using the wagon on property. We always bring our own beach chairs, but this home has plenty of chairs, towels, and umbrellas for a beach visit. I can’t say enough about the host, Becky. She is so attentive, communicative, and pleasant. She really wants you to feel like you’re home. Becky, thank you so much for sharing this most amazing place with us! This home is definitely on my short list of places I MUST visit again.

Everyone enjoyed the pool, especially the kids! A short walk to the beach, which this time of year we pretty much had to ourselves. The house was beautiful with plenty of room for our family of 9. One of the best vacations in the books, highly recommend.

From the backyard pier, abundance of available extras ( from floats, sand toys, beach wagon, canoe or kayaks as well as ice machine was amazing ! Did have issues with heated pool and she did try to resolve the issue. This was a great vacation property !

Family Spring Break
Spring break in Gulf Shores with the family was made even better staying in this lovely home! Being between the lagoon and the Gulf adds to the beauty! The pool was the main attraction for the kids and Becky was so responsive with any issue or question we had regarding the pool. Kitchen was large and well stocked. We loved the large open living/dining/kitchen area allowing our family to be all together. ❤️

Wonderful Vacation Home
We loved our stay at this property. The host was so easy to communicate with, the kids loved the large (lighted) heated pool, there were lots of pool/beach toys available for us, and lots of space for our large family. It was so nice being on both the lagoon and just across from our private beach on the ocean. We will definitely consider staying here again!

Great, quiet location
Love that the home is situated between two different bodies of water. The owners have a closet full of beach chairs, floats, paddle boards, kayaks, and canoes to use, and this makes it so much more fun! The kitchen and living room space is open, light and airy, and a great gathering space with limitless views of the bay. The pool is large and heated in cooler weather, which we loved and took advantage of. Beds were comfy and plenty of towels and amenities in each bathroom. Would recommend this home!

Girls Beach Week
Great time to unplug, reset, refresh and recover as we head into the last quarter of 2023. Enjoyed the pool and the views. The beach was a short walk across the street. Everything was as advertised. The host thought of everything. Well stocked kitchen and beach toys for kids and adults, even had an ice machine. Bikes and wagon. Would definitely stay again. Quiet end of the beach. Felt like we were the only ones there.

Outstanding Family Stay in Gulf Shores
We visit Gulf Shores every August before the start of the school year, and this is an amazing property from a location and amenities prospective. The access to the beach and lagoon cannot be any better, and you will not find a better pool for the kids. The pictures of the property are spot on, and Becky was great with communicating the checking-time and process. If you have the opportunitiy to book a stay, don’t hesitate to do so.
