About this house rental
**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!

My wife and I wanted to take our dogs to the beach. It was also my wifes 50th birthday and our 30th anniversary. I picked this because the house was ground level, it had green grass instead of just sand, and it was on the bay side. My elder dog with bad hips did not need to climb the hurricane stairs of most houses. I hate sand so a yard was awesome. The bay for me is always more exciting than the Gulf. This did not disappoint. The house is fairly secluded, good fishing, and dolphins morning and evening. Sometimes the dolphins were within 30 yards. The house was clean and very user frindly. I would definitely stay there again. Beware of slipery old boat ramp, very slick. My wife found out the hard way. Thank you.

This little cottage is amazing! Secluded and ducked away from the busy Gulf Shores area, but still conveniently close to everything. We watched some amazing sunrises and sunsets. We will definitely come back!
