This was our third late August Gulf Shores trip. It's quiet, cheaper and still great weather. Best thing about the property is the beach access and large deck with new patio furniture that was not pictured which was a nice surprise. Very kid friendly for our three year old. Clean property and had most of what we needed for the week. Will need extra trash bags, dishwasher and laundry pods. No beach toys or chairs/umbrellas so bring your own or rent them on the beach which we did both. Property management doesn't clean the grill so use an onion and the grime will come right off. The coffee pot didn't work but management dropped off a new one same day. Owner checks in with you frequently to see if you need anything which was nice. We would stay again.

This our third timing renting Marylins Cottage. We love it, and we hope to be back again.

Great Place to Stay, we went in off season and it was very peaceful. If you’re staying longer than two days you will need to bring your own trash bags and dish detergent. They only put two bags and enough detergent for two washes. I know this is not the Host fault but I’d have conversation with cleaning crew. VRBO is horrible, they sent me chechin instructions that were not true. Sent me to an abandoned building to get keys. Thank goodness the Host responded quickly and took care of everything. Was unnerving driving 12 hours and thinking you got scammed.

We had a great vacation in Marilyn’s Cottage! It was very clean and very comfortable. Our favorite thing about the property is the short walk to the edge of the ocean with no elevators and no crowds. The house is in a quiet area that makes for a very relaxing vacation. We highly recommend Marilyn’s Cottage.

We stayed a week at Marilyn’s cottage and had the best vacation ever! The house is located in a great area convenient to everything and we just loved staying on the beach and being able to walk to the ocean whenever you want without getting in a car or having to walk across a street or anything. It was Fantastic. Plenty of space for my family and we enjoyed all the amenities. Everything was clean and organized for our arrival. Communication with the host Denise was superb and she went above and beyond taking care of a few requests. Thank you so much Denise for letting us stay at your beautiful place and making our vacation the best ever! John

Great property, location, and owner! We had a great week. We had a small confusion at check-in, but I was able to contact the owner Denise and she fixed it quickly. She had some recommendations for our stay and checked in periodically if we needed anything. The property was perfect for our family of 5, I’d recommend this property to anyone! Thank you!

We has great trip! The house was everything we needed! The owners were fabulous to work with!

House was perfect for our party of eight (4 Adults, 4 kids) Amazing access to the beach. Plenty of parking and house was in a great location. Home owner and management company both had amazing communication pre trip and during. Will book again!
