Heavily wooded area directly on the water—secluded but with amenities within easy reach. Pensacola and Gulf Shores, with their famous sugar sand beaches, are a 35-minute drive away. Enjoy great water views. A new amusement park is a 20-minute drive away. The cottage is behind the main house, about 100 feet from the water.
Don't forget the famous world-class fishing right in front of the house.

Summary: The cottage was cool, clean enough, and stocked with essentials. The appeal of this cottage is the back view and location. We most enjoyed sitting and enjoying the view—beautiful sunrises and dolphins playing in the early mornings. The neighborhood is quiet, and the lagoon water is not swimmable. My grandson swam for a minute but could not get past stepping on the debris, but it was good fishing. The picture, posted on VRBO, is of the laundry room, which is the side of the main house. The cottage is not on the water, but close enough, and the shoreline is shared with the main house. The renters were very friendly. You can't beat the quiet location after a full day in the sun. Beaches and limitless activities are within a 30-minute drive. Be sure to visit the Bamahenge, Roman columns, and dinosaurs in the woods near the marina. Ber's Preservers is also great to sample local, unique preserves, spreads, and compotes on a 100-acre farm. Will stay again.
