Quaint Beach House for Family
The house was perfect for our family and our little dog. Pool is a few steps away and the beach was a short walk. Budget friendly as well! We will definitely stay here again.

Getaway
The owner was great with communication, the location and private beach access was a blessing. Come stay at Sun Baby and bring a small family. The beach had all the seashells to collect on the shoreline and sand that was white and soft as snow.

Perfect Cottage
Sun Baby Cottage checked all the boxes: comfortable, cool, steps from the beach, squeaky clean, updated, beach vibe decor! If cleanliness, comfortable mattresses & pillows and an A/C that works is important to you - this is the place! Location was quiet but super close to everything that counts, especially the beautiful beach! Absolutely recommend and we would book here again!

Sunbaby Cottage
5 days of relaxation in a clean well furnished cottage, steps from the beautiful beach. Loads of restaurants walking distance or a short drive. The dog park (less than 10 minted drive) was a must every day. One of the nicest dog parks I’ve been to.

Super cozy/cute beach house!
My family (husband and I plus teenage daughter and grown son) so enjoyed our stay! The house is very convenient to the beach access. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had the basic supplies needed. We also brought our two mini schnauzers. I wish the green space had been a tad bigger and there were lots of sticker burrs. But they loved hanging our with us on the deck in the evenings! We would definitely rent this place again!

Coziest Beach Cottage
Staying at Sun Baby was such an amazing experience. The location was absolutely PERFECT! We loved being right across from the beach. The pool was cleaned every morning & has recently been resurfaced. The cottage was the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed at in Gulf Shores. The beds were comfortable. We brought our miniature poodle, she enjoyed lounging on the dog friendly deck daily 🐶❤️ We look forward to booking again & would highly recommend Sun Baby to our family & friends.

Super Sun Baby
We all loved Sun Baby! Very clean. Kitchen well equipped. Comfortable beds. It was our first time to stay on the west end of Gulf Shores and we liked it better. Less crowded and commercialized! Would definitely recommend!

SunBaby #1 was cozy and great for the family and dog
Really enjoyed this adorable, cozy, clean beach cottage! Couldn't find the sheets for the pull out sofa at first, but it was my bad - the owner was super responsive and helpful. Was able to fit an XXL crate in the corner for our standard poodle, and it was a great environment for him and our family to play and interact. The bathroom was gorgeous with enough hot water and shower space. Liked the in-cottage stacked washer and dryer - the loads were small but it did the job. The view was nice, porch was excellent, stairs were a bit steep but very sturdy with a good railing. Great area to walk and potty the dog as long as your dog doesn't care about traffic. We walked over to a few stores to get sundries and ice cream/pizza. The beach was super close and a nice easy walk. No dogs on the public beach, but the Dog Pond was a quick drive and a fun few hours of doggie fun in the water with the kids. 2 parking spots come reserved with this property, which was nice. The (unheated) pool was enjoyable and clean, with a good sunbathing area, and even some kids deck chairs. Really enjoyed having our own space (no shared walls/ceilings/floor with other guests), and would highly recommend this property to others.

Perfect!
My family and dog really enjoyed our stay at sun baby. It was such a perfect location, walkable distance to restaurants, store, and the beach access was incredibly close. The beds were clean and comfortable. The bathroom was fully stocked and updated, the kitchen was supplied with essentials to make meals. We loved having access to a washer and dryer during our stay. The outside shower was perfect to rinse off before walking in. We will definitely be booking here again.

Nice place
Nice to bedroom condo, Across the street from the beach. Didn’t have to worry about noisy people. Beds were comfortable bathroom was up-to-date and nice. Condo was clean which is always a plus. When I got there my code wasn’t working I was able to contact the person in charge of the condos and she was able to reset everything right then.

Perfect cottage for our weekend getaway!
Sun Baby was exactly what we needed for our stay. We were a short walk away from beach access and a small grocery for odds and ends that we forgot to pack. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had all of the cookware we needed as well. Will be back!
