Adorable cottage w/ Beach Access

Highlights

Welcome to Longview! This super cute beach cottage just received a total facelift! Check out the photos to see the transformation.

When your vacation plans don't allow for a full week or if your group will be on the smaller side, then Longview might be the perfect fit! This adorable cottage is located in desirable Surfside Shores. This quiet community offers access to the beautiful white sand, pet friendly beaches. And Longview offers the perfect alternative for those guests that choose to travel with their dog since most condos are not pet friendly.

You will fall in love with this storybook beach house. Beautifully renovated and tastefully decorated, it truly is everything you wish for in a beach vacation. You are close to the beach but the home sits on a large lot on a quiet street, so you'll have the best of both worlds.

The Space

The furnishings are calming and welcoming, inviting you take off your shoes and stay awhile. There are two bedrooms and two full baths. The first bedroom has a Queen bed and the second has one Full and one Twin. There is also a sleeper sofa in the comfy living room, bringing the sleep count to 7.

The updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a conveniently located washer and dryer. And it is equipped with all you'll need to prepare tasty meals at home should you choose to dine in.

* Renter must be at least 25 years of age. Guests under 25 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
* Snowbirds welcome! Inquire about special off-season pricing.

Surfside and Fort Morgan

Located a scenic 15 miles from Gulf Shores, you'll find everything you need close at hand. Dollar General and Sassy Bass Market are just a few miles away and have all the basics you might need. There are several restaurants nearby offering a variety of tasty dishes. Tacky Jack's, Sassy Bass (2 locations), Coast and brand-new Jesse's (opening soon) to name a few. Some venues even offer live, local entertainment.

Fort Morgan fishing pier is now open, and anglers will have access to convenient inshore fishing and the abundant species locally available.

Be sure and visit nearby Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge with over 7,000 acres of coastal habit. You'll be able to hike through the preserve and observe local flora and fauna. There are 4 trails, varying in size and terrain and you'll definitely want to make time to visit this natural oasis.

* Parking for up to 4 vehicles
* Parking for a boat

Longview is located at 6561 Driftwood Drive, Gulf Shores, Alabama 36542

The stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed the close walk to the beach. We payed a lot of money for this house, and the living room ceiling leaked when it rained during our stay. Overall cute house.

Great place for travelers with dogs
Enjoyed our first visit to the Gulf Shores area. The dog-friendly beach and the fenced yard made the trip very convenient for our dogs. The property manager was very helpful and responsive in resolving several minor issues.

Nice but could use a few touch ups.
We had a great time as usual. Some of the small appliances need replaced. A few things around the house needed repair, ceilings needed painted, top steps of both decks would be a little sketchy for older folks and the back yard fence was not dog safe in a couple places. A few of the baking dishes that were stored in the oven werent washed, but overall it was decent for the price.

Fantastic!
Great stay- cute, clean and sunny! Nice, quiet neighborhood and a short walk to the beach (would recommend a golf cart if not used to walking or have lots of stuff.) Fenced in yard for our furry friends was a bonus! Kitchen had everything we needed. Communication with property manager was easy. Neighbor was super friendly! Fit our family of four perfect. Would recommend!

Thanks for a wonderful stay!!!
Property was in a great location away from the high traffic areas while still within walking distance of the beach. Only a short drive from gulf shores. Fort Morgan is a must see if your in the area and enjoy a little history lesson. Very friendly neighborhood.

Didn't want to leave
It was our family of 3 and our doggo staying the week and we absolutely loved it! The lication was super convient to both the gulf and the bay so we never had to travel too far to get to the water. The house was clean and everything easy enough to find. We would have stayed forever if we could have!

Family Reunion
Perfect cozy and had everything we needed. We couldn’t figure out how to use our TV and the property manager came over right away to help us! One thing to note is that while you can walk to the public access beach it is definitely preferable to get a golf cart as there is no public parking for cars. We had a golf cart and had an amazing time. Totally renovated and very nice!

Great, quiet neighborhood with house needing a little fixing to the roof and backyard cleanup.
We stayed for an entire week and absolutely loved the location. It is a very quiet neighborhood and the beach was never packed. It was about a 10 minute leisurely walk to the beach access point which we enjoyed for our dogs especially. The backyard could definitely use a good cleanup however as there is an old moldy hammock, I am also 5'8" and had to duck throughout 3/4 of the backyard due to low limbs. I hit my head multiple times on low branches while letting the dogs out. The backyard is also full of a certain tree that is known to be poisonous for dogs if ingested so be careful with that. Our golden also found what I believe was rabbit poop and he was vomiting for a whole day which was unfortunate. Also the last day it rained heavily and the roof leaked causing us to put a bucket in the living room. Overall we really enjoyed our time in the house! I wouldn't recommend any more than 2 adults and a couple kids however because it is a really small house.

Please come up with a better idea for the shower curtains. It’s difficult to shower while being attacked by the curtains! Allison is lovely and very attentive.

nice little beach cottage
A quaint little beach cottage - ideal for two people for a long weekend. the proximity to the beach is nice but the beach access is more centrally located in the neighborhood so we rented a golf cart to make our commute a little easier. The property was clean and manager was quick to respond to all of our questions/needs throughout our stay. The kitchen could use some updated cookware/knives. The back door with doggie door was not operable at the time of our stay but manager said they were aware and were working on getting it repaired. wasn't a huge deal for us. overall, nice place for the price.

Charming Beach House
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Longview. Cute decor inside and such a bonus having fenced back yard for our dogs! It was not the most convenient location to beach so if you are hauling a lot to beach, would recommend getting a golf cart since you can’t park a car near beach access. One thing that might make this house more inviting to future guests would be to clean up the outdoor area. Lots of items that just need to be thrown away-broken hammock, gas firepit, multiple beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. that I’m guessing previous guests left behind. Overall, would recommend!
