About Owner

About Laurel & Melissa

While road tripping with my family in 2018, one of our stops was in Gulf Shores. I fell in love as soon as I put my toes in the sugary white sands and heard my feet squeak when i walked. Within 6 months, our family decided to purchase a place for us and guests to enjoy. When I purchased my condo, I wanted to provide a clean, cozy home that welcomes pets as well. As your host, my goal is to provide a place you will want to come back to and visit year after year, not a cheap rental. I hope you come and stay with us and enjoy our little cottage as much as our family and our french bulldogs do. We look forward to accommodating you on your next beach vacation. Don't forget your furry friend!

Wonderful Stay

We were thoroughly impressed with this little cottage. It was very clean, charming, and had everything we needed. Loved that beach access was right across the street. This was the perfect spot for a little weekend getaway with our 2 boys and pup! Would definitely stay here again!

Our stay in the Mighty Marlin was fantastic! The property looks exactly like the pictures. I am a bit obsessed when it comes to cleanliness, and this place did not disappoint! Very clean, well stocked, and convenient to many places. It’s a short walk across the street to the beach. Melissa was very responsive and helpful. Would rent again for sure!
