HAVE YOUR OWN HOME!! Private beach! Pool/ Waterviews

HAVE YOUR OWN HOME! Tortuga Sunset has everything for a great vacation! The cottage and area are very relaxing and amazing! Take a break from your routine and come enjoy the beach, ocean breeze and sunshine!! I have two other cottages right next door with the same floor plan and water views. Tortuga Daybreak is a waterfront cottage with two balconies and amazing water views of Little Lagoon! Tortuga Sunrise is across from Sunset with the same beautiful views of the water too. If you are looking for different dates or want to vacation with friends, click on my profile picture to see my other two listings.

Truly the best of everything...steps from Little Lagoon and from the Gulf! Pristine outdoor pool overlooking Little Lagoon, fishing and a quick 3 minute walk over the dune to the ocean. Tortuga Sunset has so many things to offer for a great vacation!! Little Lagoon is like glass, great for kayaks (fishing on the Lagoon) and paddle boards with an easy launch site. I provide contact information for local rentals for beach items, kayaks and paddle boards with free delivery and pick up to the cottage front door! The dock has a large area with benches and swings to enjoy sunsets with a cocktail. Fishing is great and the dock is just steps away ....reds, speckle trout are just a few of the fish in the area.

The pool is also steps away and a nice break from the sand. It looks out onto Little Lagoon! The pool usually isn't crowded. There is a 2 foot platform with bubblers; a fun place for toddlers and grandkids to play. The cottage has a balcony with water views of Little Lagoon. There is morning shade on the balcony, a great way to start your day with a cup of coffee!

If you are looking for rest and relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of high-rise condos still within close distance to restaurants, shops and entertainment, this will be perfect vacation for you! There are great five star restaurants with outdoor dining and live music just down the street.

Our private beach access it is a quick 3 minute walk from the cottage. Once you walk over the dune the ocean is right there. It is an easy walk to the beach area where you can set up chairs to enjoy the beach.

Once you book I send a Welcome email with helpful information about the cottage and the area. I provide information about the wonderful walking trails in the area, golf courses, restaurants, the many activities for kids. Please message me your email address when you book and I will forward it to you.

You just can't beat the lagoon on one side and the ocean on the other! Our cottage looks out directly onto Little Lagoon... beautiful views from every window. The lagoon water is typically just as blue as the Gulf, but calm and shallow, with much sea life! You can often spot hermit crabs, blue crabs, and sea skates, and catch redfish and speckled trout.

You can enjoy everything Tortuga Sunset has to offer without loading and unloading in a hot car with our 2 covered parking spaces. No waiting for a trolley or elevator because you park right at the front door of the cottage. You have your own home for your vacation. Groceries are close by and can be delivered for convenience.

Tortuga Sunset has high quality beds for a great night sleep just like home! It is decorated so you will feel at home while you are on vacation. It is built to Fortified Gold Standard, has granite countertops throughout, luxury floors, gorgeous tile in the bathrooms and kitchen; everything is custom in the home. Large 40 inch smart TVs in every bedroom room with a 55 inch smart TV in the living room so you can access your own Netflix and prime video. There is also a bath tub/shower in the master bath for kiddos who want to take a bath. The cottage is very very clean. You will have a great time!

Great Fishing Spot

Bachelorette Party
We stayed 3 nights! We had a blast! Everything was nice and ready for us to relax. The location was perfect and we had easy access to the beach. We loved how it was away from all the condos! We went at a busy time but the beaches were not crowded because of the location! The only negative thing I have to say is that you can tell other renters who stayed have not taken care of Kim’s property. The stairs need to be repainted, the couches and chairs look dirty from where people have sat on them wet or let their kids eat on the furniture without cleaning it up. Also the dishwasher prongs are broken off in several places. We had a great time!

Mini Vacation
We are definitely coming back. Everyone had a great time.. We tried fishing which is an experience in itself… no luck unfortunately. But was fun trying… pool was clean and everything was perfect for our mini getaway… no complaints at all.

Peaceful Vacay
The Cottages are the most peaceful place I have ever stayed at in the Gulf Shores area. It's close enough to everything but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. The property is taken care of and is clean. The dock on the bay was the best place to watch the sunrise and the sunset. The Tortuga Sunset cottage was beautifully decorated but completely functional and clean. The walk to the beach is across the street but it was an easy and quick walk. I can't wait to come back again.

Relaxing getaway
My husband and I took our three children five and under. This place was close to town but still in the residential area. An easy walk to the beach for the children and right next to the pool and dock. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this place.
