About
Nestled beneath moss-draped oaks on Shell Banks Bayou, this beautifully restored 1940s cottage offers the perfect blend of coastal charm and peaceful seclusion. Located just one mile from the white-sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico and eight miles down Fort Morgan Road, it’s the ideal spot for those who want to relax, unwind, and explore.
Across the quiet lane, enjoy your private 50-foot lot on Mobile Bay complete with a pier and deck—perfect for watching the sunrise and sunset or casting a fishing line. The Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge beach access is just a mile away, with free parking and plenty of room to spread out for a day in the sun. Traveling with your pup? You’ll find directions to nearby dog-friendly beaches in the home’s information binder.
Inside, the cottage features three bedrooms and two baths, comfortably sleeping up to eight guests. Following recent renovations after Hurricane Sally, you’ll enjoy a modern kitchen, new flooring, updated bathrooms, fresh furnishings, and ceiling fans throughout. The ground-level layout makes it easily accessible for all ages.
Out back, a fenced yard provides a safe space for kids or pets to play, while the screened-in porch with a swinging bed invites lazy afternoons and cozy evenings.
Love to golf? Top-rated courses like Kiva Dunes and The Peninsula are just minutes away. And when you’re ready for shopping, dining, or entertainment, downtown Gulf Shores is only eight miles east.
This peaceful lane is home to friendly full-time residents, creating a quiet, welcoming atmosphere that feels worlds away—yet close to everything the coast has to offer.
