Peaceful location! Close to everything! Bring the family and dogs! Snowbirds!

Moonrise Cottage features two bedrooms, one and a half baths, a spacious living area, and a full kitchen. The space is filled with comfortable furniture and eclectic art. Outside, you will find a large deck, screened porch, dock, and fenced dog yard. The large yard has plenty of room to play and park your boat or RV. The property is perfectly situated on an out of the way slew of the Bon Secour River. Fish off of the dock or explore the river by boat; you are minutes from the mouth of Bon Secour Bay. Within walking distance, the neighborhood features four fresh seafood markets, an outstanding restaurant, two public boat ramps, and three historic churches. The Cottage is 20 minutes from Foley, AL where you will find the Tanger outlets and OWA. OWA is a unique destination for youth sports tournaments, an amusement park, and a year round indoor water park. Foley also boasts a historic downtown with a railroad museum, beautiful park, and other local favorites. Moonrise Cottage is only 25 minutes from the gorgeous white sand beaches of Gulf Shores, AL, where you will find endless entertainment possibilities including the annual Hangout Fest. Gulf State Park features access to pristine beaches, miles of well maintained scenic biking/walking trails, and farm to table dining. A turn down the peninsula to Fort Morgan offers dog friendly beach access, bird sanctuaries, and the historic Fort itself (also dog friendly). Fort Morgan was an important fort defending the pass into Mobile Bay. Her sister fort, Fort Gaines, is a short ferry ride away across the pass on Dauphin Island. 25 minutes in the other direction will take you to the picturesque Eastern Shore city of Fairhope, AL. Fairhope is a lovely, dog friendly town with an upscale downtown shopping and dining area. Down the hill at the pier, locals gather every evening to witness the breathtaking sunsets. Whether you are snowbirds looking for a peaceful retreat or family and friends looking for adventure, Moonrise Cottage is your ideal destination!
