Stunning cottage sleeps 8-10 with communal pool, beach & lagoon views!


Professionally decorated, freestanding, 4 bedroom/4 bath pristine beach house designed with family and friends in mind. Enjoy the beach and lovely views of nature when you stay in the best of both worlds at West Beach and the Lagoon. This newly built home sleeps 8-10 with 2 on the sleeper sofa and has an open floor plan with the first floor containing a full bath and a sleeper sofa and the upstairs featuring two kings, one queen and two twins. Each bedroom plus the living room has a TV and includes fast fiber network for Wifi and a DVD player in the living room. The cottage comes with a highchair, baby-gate for stairs and pack-n-play as well as a beach cart to wheel all your beach needs easily for your use. The brick paved streets in the quaint community lead to beach access via the city boardwalk and a public pier. Take pleasure in your morning coffee on the front porch while gazing at the sugar white sands and sparkling water of the Gulf of Mexico directly across the street or escape on a morning paddle on your SUPs or your kayak while seeing all the natural beauty of the lagoon. The beach is about a 5 minute walk on front beach street side and a 4 minute walk on the bike trail winding by the lagoon on the back side. Lagoon Pass has pay to park and a public restroom is conveniently located there where you will feel safe playing in the calm, shallow water. If you prefer less of a haul thru sand beachside then turn left out of the community and head to life guard stand 11. Splash with the kids at the private community pool or fish off your kayak if you bring one in the lagoon and then ride just minutes to many local award-winning seafood restaurants, outlet shops, zoo and golf course. For my fellow sports fanatics the sports channels are on the dishnetwork! Dream features a full washer and dryer and kitchen with meal preparation amenities as well as a propane grill. You will have your choice of 12 cup coffee pot or single-serving Keurig machine for your vital morning java. No extra paper products are supplied. Garbage picks up twice a week on Tuesday and Friday. The carport includes an outdoor beach shower and a closet for your beach supplies. This closet includes beach chairs, sand toys, a beach cart and 1 longboard as well as an umbrella and stand. Now close your eyes and imagine the cool gentle gulf breeze, smell of salt water, and peaceful sound of small crashing waves. Why West Beach in Gulf Shores? Relaxing and quiet with little traffic and yet plenty of fun family activities nearby, such as Waterville, OWA amusement park, dolphin tours, the brand-new Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, and restaurants. Having both the beach and lagoon means more water activities. Dream is more than a name; it's the feeling you get when you drive into West Beach and walk through the door of this home away from home!

Amazing house in a great location

Our family had such a wonderful stay. The house was beautiful and close to the beach and it had everything we could need. We loved being able to use the pool and hanging out on the porch. Our host, Misty, did such an excellent job communicating with us throughout the whole process. We will be back!

Family trip to the Gulf Shores

This was a wonderful property to stay in! We were able to accommodate three families and felt like we had plenty of room. The property was clean and stocked with lots of kitchen supplies. We made breakfast every morning and lunch. The beach was close and not a very far walk. They had wagons, towels, etc to take to the beach. It was nice that the property had a pool so after we got back from the beach it was nice to go and swim too. We will definitely stay here again!

Relaxing senior spring break

We had the most amazing time at Misty’s gorgeous home. Located in a quiet community a short drive away from the hustle and bustle of touristy businesses, we enjoyed the pool area, relaxing on the ocean view deck, and stretched our legs on the short 5 minute walk to the beach. The home is gorgeous, beautifully decorated, and well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. Misty communicated quickly with us when needed and was very welcoming. We would definitely like to return.

Amazing getaway.

Misty treated us like family. Her kind-hearted nature is so apparent, with the attention to detail that is shown throughout her cottage. We were amazed that she had absolutely everything that we needed. The proximity to the beach was wonderful, allowing us to make special memories with our family. We've already begun planning our return trip to this treasured location, and so appreciate Misty and the hospitality and respect she shows her guests.

Great place to stay and spend time with family

This condo is perfect for a family vacation. We had family coming from 6 different states for our yearly vacation. This place has plenty of space for us to be able to hang out to talk and play games and also to sleep. Misty was quick to respond to all communication throughout our stay. Only suggestions would be to have some hooks on the outside for hanging wet towels and suits to dry, more seating outside on the deck and maybe some curtains/blinds for the downstairs. Nothing that is a deal breaker and would definitely stay here again!

Perfect!

My family and my sister’s family immensely enjoyed our time at the cottage. The listing was exactly as described, if not better. Our kids’ ages range from 21 months to 21 years, and the accommodation was perfect for all of us. We definitely appreciated the baby gear on hand so we didn’t have to haul it from Arkansas, and the amount of beach toys/umbrellas was perfect. The kitchen was fully appointed - we cooked everything from chocolate gravy to ribs while we were here and never lacked a utensil or dish. Plenty of seating, entertainment, and privacy for all of us. Highly recommend!

Great location & communication

We had the best time staying at Misty’s property. She had everything you needed to feel right at home. The kitchen was fully stocked with appliances, the garage was stocked full of beach toys, wagons, chairs. The living room couches were beyond comfortable. She had kids plates, a high chair and a pack and play! Misty was so helpful and so easy to communicate with. The location was perfect. The only thing I would mention is that there are a lot of stairs, something to consider with elderly family members or young children. Thankfully she had gates to keep our kiddos safe! I can’t wait to stay here again!

Our family had a great time staying here. Great House that is well kept and well stocked. Plenty of beach chairs, toys, umbrella etc. The location is great as it's a quick walk to either the beach or the lagoon. We also enjoyed the pool. We would certainly stay again!

Short Walk to Beach Paradise

The pictures of this property were nice but not until you arrive and actually see the location it exceeds expectations. It is the perfect location off of the beach but yet can see the gulf and sit on the porch and watch the waves. The beach house was exactly as described and Misty the host had everything we needed so we didn't have to bring extras. The beds were very comfortable and everything was clean and allowed us to come back and relax after a day at the beach. The private community pool was an added bonus for the kids who were able to play when the ocean was a little rough. The downstairs storage had all the beach toys and chairs and multiple wagons to take to the beach. The outdoor shower was the best thing so we could wash the sand off before going into the house. Misty was very quick to respond about the checking process and also followed up around checkout time. We plan on making this a yearly rental for us it was a Great Time.
