Salt & Sage Cottage – Coastal Comfort Meets Chic Relaxation in Orange Beach, AL

Imagine waking up to the sound of birds, sipping your morning coffee while watching the sunlight dance across the water, and ending the day gathered around a fire pit under the stars. At Salt & Sage Cottage, these aren’t just vacation moments—they’re the everyday rhythm of your stay.

Located in the sought-after Summer Salt community of Orange Beach, this beautifully appointed 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom cottage is more than just a place to sleep—it’s a place to relax, connect, and create memories. Thoughtfully designed with families, groups, and couples in mind, the home blends modern comfort, coastal charm, and thoughtful details that make your getaway seamless.

Step Inside – A Space Designed for Gathering

From the moment you walk through the front door, you’re greeted with airy, open living spaces filled with natural light and stylish coastal touches. The open floor plan connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for everything from family game nights to elegant dinners.

Living Room: Sink into the sofa while enjoying a movie night on the smart TV or simply gaze out at the water beyond the windows. With cozy textures and soft hues, it’s the heart of the home.

Dining Room: A large table invites everyone to gather—whether it’s a pancake breakfast before heading to the beach or a seafood feast after a day of exploring.

Kitchen: Fully stocked with cookware, dish ware, and appliances, this kitchen was made for both quick snacks and holiday meals. The highlight? A complete coffee bar with a Duo Keurig and Nespresso machine, plus a selection of pods, K-cups, tea, sugar, and cream—because every good day starts with the perfect cup.

Bedrooms – Peaceful Retreats for Everyone

After a full day at the beach or pool, retreat to one of four spacious bedrooms, each designed to feel like your own private sanctuary.

Master Suite: A luxurious escape featuring a king bed and workspace with water view for those who need to check in while away. The spa-like bathroom includes a soaking tub, double vanity, walk-in shower, and a large closet—your personal retreat within the retreat.

King Bedroom: A cozy yet spacious room with an ensuite bath (tub/shower combo) and double closets. Perfect for grandparents, another couple, or friends.

Queen Room: Featuring two queen beds, this upstairs retreat has its own ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and closet—ideal for teens, siblings, or friends who want to share.

Bunk Room: A kid’s dream! Two full-over-full bunk beds provide plenty of space for cousins, teammates, or a group of young travelers. Located just outside is a full bath with a tub/shower combo, making it easy for everyone to get ready for the day.

Each room is thoughtfully decorated with coastal touches, fresh linens, TVs and plenty of storage space—because comfort matters.

Bathrooms – Spa-Like Comfort

Salt & Sage Cottage boasts 4 bathrooms, so there’s never a line to get ready. From the master bath’s soaking tub to the convenient shared bunk-room bathroom, each is stocked with plush towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and other essentials you may have forgotten.

Outdoor Living – Your Waterfront Playground

One of the biggest highlights of Salt & Sage Cottage is the outdoor living experience.

Back Porch: Two cozy swings and additional seating make this the perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or sunset conversations. The water views are calming, and you may even spot herons or alligators in the distance.

Fire Pit Area: Just steps from the water, Adirondack chairs surround a gas fire pit—perfect for roasting marshmallows, telling stories, or stargazing.

Grill Station: Fire up the outdoor grill and enjoy fresh Gulf seafood, burgers, or whatever you picked up from the local market.

Yard & Games: The spacious backyard is ideal for family games, whether it’s spike ball, frisbee, fishing or simply running around with the kids.

We’ve also stocked a back closet full of extras: beach chairs, wagon, toys, outdoor pillows, and more—because the little things matter.

Community Amenities – Resort Feel, Cottage Comfort

While the cottage is private, guests also enjoy access to the Summer Salt community’s amenities, including:

Resort-style pool for lazy afternoons in the sun

Community fire pit for social evenings

Putting green to practice your short game

It’s like staying at a boutique resort—with the comfort of your own home.

Location – The Best of Orange Beach at Your Doorstep

Salt & Sage Cottage is tucked away in a peaceful setting, yet close to everything you came to the Gulf Coast to enjoy.

Beach Access: Just minutes away, you’ll find the sugar-white sands and turquoise waters that make Orange Beach famous.

Dining: Savor local favorites like fresh Gulf shrimp, oysters, and Southern classics at nearby restaurants.

Shopping: Browse boutique shops, beach gear stores, and local markets.

Entertainment: From dolphin cruises and fishing charters to mini-golf and arcades, there’s something for every age.

Nature & Adventure: Explore the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail, rent kayaks, or take a day trip to nearby Gulf Shores or Pensacola.

It Was Perfect!

This home was beautiful! It was also spacious and beautifully equipped. We had 4 adults, 3 teenagers and an 8 year old. We had plenty of space. Kids swam, fished, grilled, sat around the fire and went to the beach. Shopped a bit also. The kitchen had anything you could imagine and more, including the fanciest coffee pot I have ever seen. The home even included metal sticks for s’mores and a printer! Our favorite was the porch swings! The host answered any query quickly. We highly recommend.
