Pet Friendly Cottage - Heated Pool - Sleeps 10! Free Daily Activities

  • 'Knot Far Atoll' is your ticket to paradise in the heart of Gulf Shores, Alabama. Nestled within the serene East Side Cottages neighborhood, this charming short-term rental offers an unforgettable coastal escape that's just a short 1 block walk from the beach. Located within walking distance to The Hangout, Mikee's Seafood, and several other restaurants and shops. Island Market is a short walk for beach toys, drinks, household necessities, and groceries.

    Step inside this coastal gem, and you'll immediately be captivated by the gulf view visible right from the living room deck. There's nothing quite like waking up and sipping your morning coffee while gazing out at the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

    The property boasts two beautifully appointed bedrooms, making it perfect for families, friends, or a romantic getaway. The master bedroom is a haven of relaxation, featuring a luxurious king-sized bed that promises restful nights. Meanwhile, the guest room is thoughtfully equipped with a comfortable queen-sized bed.

    If you're traveling with a larger group or extended family, you'll find the additional sleeping arrangements to be a real plus. 'Knot Far Atoll' offers four twin-sized built-in bunks, providing cozy spaces for the little ones or the young at heart. Need extra space for guests? There's also a convenient pull-out sleeper sofa that can comfortably accommodate two more people, bringing the total capacity to 10.

Whether you want to take a refreshing dip, bask in the sun, or watch your little ones splash around, the pool is a wonderful addition to your stay. With only 8 cottages in the community, you don't have to worry about a crowded pool.

    The primary renter must be at least 25 years old and must stay for the entire duration of the booking. In addition, guests will be required to sign a rental agreement and provide a picture of their ID to confirm the reservation. For parking, there's space for two vehicles on the property.

Wonderful vacation in Gulf Shores

Everything was as advertised and exceeded our expectations. Jonathan’s communication was great. The cottage had a great clean beachy smell as soon as you walked in, and the beach decor was very nice! We enjoyed the Polywood furniture on the balcony. The air conditioner was able to keep up with the 95 degree heat with no problem. My wife, son and our dog had the best time in Gulf Shores.

Spring break with Dora the dog

Place was beautiful! Very clean and everything was nice and new. Pool was pretty, a little chilly for us to go in, but lots of others were enjoying it. Close to lots of shops and restaurants and short walk to the beach. We did Pier 33 for quick food and t-shirts. Their breakfast sandwich was amazing! Texts with the owner were promptly answered, he was fantastic! Only downside was that a lot of the sidewalks were under construction and not a lot of green space for the dog. But she was fine and we are super grateful to find such a nice place that allows her to stay! WiFi was a little spotty but all in all fine. Thanks for letting us stay here and bring Dora!

Perfection

Could not have asked for a better stay - from the host to the property it was perfect. Jonathan is a top notch host; extremely responsive, able to flex and work around guest’s schedule and needs, and the property was pristine having all the amenities of home.

Perfection

This was by far the most perfect property for our short vacation. The location could not have been better; it is a short walk to the beach, local restaurants and shopping. It sits back just enough, from the hustle and bustle. It’s quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed our time sitting out on the decks. The pool was nice, clean and not crowded. The property was beautifully decorated; simple, clean and coastal. I loved everything about this property and plan to rent again for our next trip.

Beautiful cottage and great location! We love that we can bring our large fur baby. Had some issues with the bedroom TV but finally my hubby got it working on the last day. When they tell you they only give you a “starter pack” for household items, believe them! The Target down the road was great for stocking up, but it was a little annoying to have to buy our own trash bags…. Not a deal breaker by any means, just something to take care of on your first full day. Otherwise everything was great!
