About this property

Your Own Private Waterfront Resort! Pool, Hot Tub, Lagoon, Kayaks, Bikes & More!

  • 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. The bunk room is accessed through the primary suite—there is no separate hallway entrance. It features two bunk beds: one Twin-over-Full and one Twin-over-Twin, comfortably sleeping up to 5 children (or 4 children with extra room). The room also includes a wall-mounted 42” Roku Smart TV with streaming capability, making it a great space for kids while keeping them close to parents. Please Note: The bunk room is connected to and accessed only through the primary suite. This layout is ideal for families with children but may not provide the privacy desired for unrelated adults or older teens. 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!"

Beautiful Home with great pool

Our family of fourteen with 5 babies between 6 months and two years old all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house has everything you could ever want and it was so comfortable with beautiful views. The communication was excellent from booking to checkout. Don’t miss this house. Really enjoyed it and hope to be back very soon.

Family vacation- 40th anniversary

A vacation that will be talked about for years to come. We had everything we needed for a week getaway. The grandkids lived by the pool and loved catching frogs at night. The lagoon was fun to fish and see crabs. We had a few issues, but the owners were quick to respond and attempted to fix what they could. The beach was only a 10 minute walk away. Overall, a good vacation and a great place to stay!

Great family vacation

Stayed for the last week. When we got there we had a few questions on how a few things worked. Response time was super fast! The house and pool area were absolutely beautiful! The kids loved using the trap in lagoon area trying to catch crabs and played ping pong every night! Kitchen was so well stocked, pots and pans, dishes, glasses…you name it she has it. Toilet paper, shampoo, body wash, and so much more were provided here. Other places I’ve stayed have start up supplies then you have to buy your own. Great experience in all ways! Thanks for everything!

The pool.....AH-MAZING- SUPER comfy beds!

We had an absolutely amazing week! The house was very clean and comfortable! Upscale with amenities for every age group. The beds....so comfy! The kitchen is stocked with more than you will ever need allowing us eat in more than we planned! This was great so we could take full advantage of the outdoor space. We spent hours in the pool! It was like our private little Oasis. The landscaping makes this home very private. The homeowner, Cindy, checked in with us when we arrived to make sure that we were comfortable. My niece left her bag at the house after we headed back to Ohio. Cindy made sure that it was ours and then shipped to us. 5 STARS!! Thank you Cindy!

The best VRBO stay we have ever had!

Our stay was amazing from the location, view, pool and all the amenities. Starting with the booking process, as soon as I booked this VRBO the hostess contacted me within 10 minutes. From start to finish the hostess was the best I've ever dealt with! Before we even got there, she sent us a PDF file of recommendations of restaurants and places to see. The line of communication was great and if we needed something they responded quickly. The amenities were great; the house was supplied with almost everything you could need. Go buy some groceries and your set for your stay. If you are a DoorDasher or Uber Eats family, both apps have a ton of choices that deliver to this location. During our stay there were days with red flag warnings, so we enjoyed the pool area, games and lagoon area with the kayaks. At night we enjoyed watching tv, the fireplace or just sitting outside. When we left feeling relaxed and ready to come back for our next vacation. This place is a must for a relaxing vacation!

Great house, location and Host!!

This house was amazing! Very clean, well stocked and well organized. The host is also the kindest, most responsive host that I have EVER dealt with through any rental. We did not have any issues with the home but text a couple times throughout our stay with questions and received an immediate response! Check in was a breeze. You could rent this house, buy your groceries and never leave the house throughout your stay! Fully stocked kitchen. The pool area is amazing, equipped with a locking/safety gate, ample lighting, floats and plenty of outdoor seating. This is where we spent a huge part of our trip! You can fish from the bank. Hang out on the bottom level of the house outside. We ended up not using the kayaks but they are there along with seating down by the water. Drive to the beach is very minimal. One of our teenagers even rode the bike to the beach a few times. This house truly has it all and every single person said they would stay here again!

We have had the best time ever enjoying this beautiful and private property! The house was clean and well arranged (my daughter-in-law said they have stayed at several vrbo’s and this one did not make her feel “icky” when she walked in lol). Truly, there is something for everyone and never a time for boredom. We spent numerous hours by (and in) the lovely designed, beautifully landscaped swimming pool/spa or at the private, strategically shaded “beach” on the lagoon fishing, crabbing, kayaking, or just relaxing. The Gulf of America/beach is just a few minutes walk and the owner has thought of and shared everything you might need for a day in the pool, by the lagoon, or at the beach! We power-walked or jogged more than once daily-enjoyed nice bike and walking trails very close to the house, and our men and teens rode bikes, played table tennis, and threw “axes” in between all the other activities! Our group of 6 adults and 6 kids (ages 6-17) typically enjoyed ready made breakfast and sandwich lunches but we cooked out or ordered in for the evening meal most evenings (to avoid dinner crowds given our party of 12). The kitchen is very well equipped. The appliances are newer and work great. Sleeping arrangements worked out beautifully to boot! (The beds are clean and really comfortable). Not too far away we visited the Gulf Shores State Park to walk and bike the trails and the guys enjoyed a day fishing off the pier (they caught 30 fish!) The Wharf was a fun escapade, too!
