The space
Why You’ll Love It

✨ Stunning bay views
✨ Waterfront fire pit overlooking the bay
✨ Full access to private pier, dock & boathouse
✨ Swimming directly off the dock
✨ Shallow water near the shoreline, perfect for younger children
✨ Large bayfront deck with dining table and lounging furniture
✨ Two-story guest cottage with a cozy, welcoming vibe
✨ Peaceful setting while still close to local attractions

Outdoor Living at Its Best

This is where the cottage truly shines. Spend your days swimming off the dock, wading in the calm, shallow water near the shore, or relaxing on the deck with sweeping bay views. As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit overlooking the water for s’mores, conversation, and unforgettable evenings under the stars.

The pier and dock are ideal for fishing, lounging, or heading out on the water — whether you bring your own boat or simply enjoy the coastal scenery.

The Cottage

Inside, the guest cottage is warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged for an easy stay. With two floors, there’s room to spread out while still keeping that cozy cottage feel — perfect after long days on the water or exploring Orange Beach.

Owner Presence & Privacy

The guest cottage is located on the same property as the main house, where the owners often reside. They are warm, welcoming, and genuinely enjoy meeting guests — but they fully respect privacy.

Interaction is always guest-led. If you prefer a quiet, private stay, you’ll have it. If you’d like recommendations, conversation, or local tips, they’re happy to share. You’re always in control.

The property also has a friendly senior Labrador named Jack 🐾
Jack is completely harmless and stays primarily in the main house. Guests will only meet him if they ask. You may hear him occasionally, especially when pulling into the driveway, as he likes to announce arrivals. His greatest joy is fetching a frisbee.

Location Highlights

The cottage is ideally located in Orange Beach, offering the perfect balance of convenience and privacy.

📍 2 minutes from Barber Marina — great for boating, charters, and waterfront dining
📍 8 minutes from Pirates Cove, a popular private marina with a bayside bar, restaurant, and live bands
📍 15 minutes from OWA Tropical Falls, a family-friendly water park and entertainment destination
📍 15 minutes from the Foley Event Center, ideal for concerts, sporting events, festivals, and expos

After a day of fun, return to your quiet, peaceful bayfront retreat.
