Beautiful & Relaxing - Waterfront Cottage 6 Mi. from Gulf Shores - Fort Morgan

**The house's pier was damaged during Hurricane Sally, but should be fixed by March 2021.**

Bordering the Fort Morgan National Wildlife Preserve, the Little House by the Bay is a perfect place to relax, get away, and just let the world go by. Located on 2 acres, with 150 feet of waterfront on beautiful and historic Mobile Bay. This is a great place to fish, crab, or enjoy the nearby white sandy beaches. The location is secluded and very private, although high levels of activities are just a few minutes away.

A short drive across highway 180 and you are on the beautiful white sandy public beaches adjacent to the National Wildlife Preserve. Enjoy the blue water and surf during the day, and in just a few minutes, you are back at the Little House by the Bay.

The property includes a 130-foot pier to fish, crab and sunbathe. If you are a boater, you can moor your boat 150' offshore at mooring posts and wade in waist-deep. By boat, you are just a 20-minute boat ride from Lulu Buffet's Bar and Grill and all the sites of Gulf Shores. Further to the East on the intercoastal, and you are at Orange Beach and Perdido Pass.

A 16-mile boat ride to the West will put you at Fort Morgan and the Mouth of Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. A bit further West and you are at Dauphin Island. Some of the best in-shore and off-shore fishing and crabbing are right at your fingertips.

The Little House by the Bay is a 1,000 square foot cottage with a large great room (den kitchen) and a very large bedroom with a king-size bed, a twin bed, and a bunk bed. The couch is also comfortable and blow up mattresses can be put in the den. There is bed sleeping for 5, and room a for a few others. The house has been recently refurbished inside and out and is nicely appointed, with fine furnishings and all the modern amenities.

Leave your stress behind and immerse yourself in unparalleled relaxation at the Little House by the Bay!

Secret hideaway
We spent several days here for our 15th wedding anniversary. No issues. We enjoyed the great sunset views from the dock. We were far enough from everything to feel secluded but close enough to do anything we wanted in Gulf Shores. Our fur kids enjoyed the large yard and spending time with us in the screened-in porch during the cooler parts of the day. This was also the most well-stocked vacation rental we've stayed in and we've stayed in several! We've discussed coming back for a longer stay for our 16th anniversary next year.

At this point, we've lost count at how many times we have stayed at Little House by the Bay! We always look forward to our trips to the house. Donny & Kay are always great to deal with and if we need them for anything, they are always quick to respond. We are already planning our next trip!

Secluded and quiet
This was a perfect place for our honeymoon. Don't be surprised when the road to the driveway is a little overgrown. Turning into the house, a large yard opens with a view of the bay. There are beds enough for 5 people, but all in one bedroom. The house is very nice and cool (a/c) inside, and was very clean.

Absolutely loved staying at The Little House on the Bay. Had everything we needed and more. Loved how peaceful and quiet it was and our dog loved playing ball in the huge yard. Felt very secluded but could see neighbors but never saw or heard anyone. Close to everything you need in Gulf Shores and Fort Morgan.

What, you DON'T PROVIDE TOILET PAPER? No paper products in kitchen or bath. Seems pretty petty. In all our travels this is a first whether it be a cheap hostel or high end cruise..... Husband complained of muffled sound from living room TV. Otherwise AAA.

Best Place to Stay
Rental was clean and well kept. Location was perfect and just as described in the description and pictures. Neighborhood felt very safe and was peaceful. The yard was huge so there is plenty of room for your family or pets to play and hangout. The pier in your backyard over the bay is an awesome place to relax and enjoy the wildlife and scenery. The host are very friendly and so accommodating to your needs or questions that you may have. We really enjoyed this rental and hope to return each time we visit the gulf in the future.

Great view!!!
Had the best time being right on the water, going out onto the pier to fish and being able to bring our dogs was such a perk. Not too far of a drive to the Walmart store or to the main drag in golf Shores. The sunsets and sunrises were beautiful. We did see a water moccasin the day before we left overall great time and will definitely be back.
