If You Love Privacy, You'll Love This Home!

Escape to your own private resort on 1.3 secluded waterfront acres—a rare find in Gulf Shores. Just one block from the Gulf's beautiful beach, this Little Lagoon retreat offers the perfect combination of privacy, luxury, and endless outdoor fun.

Spend your days relaxing in the private saltwater pool and hot tub, kayaking from your own sandy lagoon beach, fishing from the shoreline, or unwinding in the hammock while enjoying spectacular waterfront views. With complimentary kayaks, bikes, beach gear, and outdoor games, there's something for every age.

Inside, the beautifully appointed home comfortably accommodates families and groups with 6 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a private bath and adjoining bunk room that's perfect for kids. The fully equipped kitchen is stocked with everything you need, and bath essentials are provided—just bring your clothes and start making memories.

Outside, the fun never stops. Grill your favorite meal, challenge the family to ping pong, cornhole, or axe throwing, ride bikes through the neighborhood, or watch the sunset over Little Lagoon. Despite feeling completely secluded, you're only minutes from Gulf Shores' beautiful white-sand beaches, outstanding restaurants, shopping, golf, and local attractions.

Whether you're planning a family vacation, couples' getaway, or a trip with friends, this home offers a level of privacy and amenities that's hard to find. No crowded condos, elevators, or shared pools—just your own private waterfront paradise.

Please note: This home is designed for families and responsible groups. No college groups, parties, or large events are permitted. Optional pool heating is available for an additional fee from November through April 15. The hot tub is included at no additional charge during this same period.

Our group has been coming to Gulf Shores for 18 years. Mark and Cindy are the best hosts we have encountered and their property is second to none. The pool area is perfect for all, access to the lagoon by the provided kayaks was a great time. It’s a very quiet area with great access to everything that gulf shores has to offer. I could go on and on, book and make memories like we did.

Perfect Spring break getaway

Great place for a big group! Wonderful location (near beach but not on busy main road) with every amenity you could want. Pool and hot tub were perfect for our group. Great kitchen for eating in with larger group. Kayaking off boardwalk on inlet was a blast. Plenty of parking. One of the cleanest properties we have stayed in! Porch overlooking pool was perfect for grandparents too!

Our Own Little Resort!

Three generations of family stayed in this home during a week where four of the days were double-red flags, making us very thankful for the lovely pool area of the home along with the outdoor games provided. The view of the lagoon was beautiful, and our grandson enjoyed fishing and kayaking right in our own "backyard!"

Great getaway with plenty of room and only steps from the beach

We really enjoyed our stay in March for spring break. The heated pool and hot tub were fantastic and the beach was only about a 10 minute walk from the home. With nine adults and three children, there was still plenty of room for everyone. Home was well kept and had all the amenities we desired!

Our family had a great time at this property. The house is clean, spacious and very well stocked. The pool is even better than it looks in the pictures, and kayaking, fishing and crabbing in the Little Lagoon right behind the house is a blast. The beach is a short walk away (less than 1/2 mile), and it feels even closer with the beach cart and bikes that are provided. We had a minor issue when a lightening storm knocked out the internet service and the owners made it their major priority to get us back online ASAP. You couldn't ask for better folks to do with than Cindy and Mark. I'd highly recommend bringing your family to this home. You won't be disappointed.
