This is a great location with good distance to all activities if you want to have a quiet spot to relax. It was very good for our dog to have space and easy with the fenced in yard. We so enjoyed the covered dock to watch the sunset. The view is your big reward in staying here.

Wonderful stay on the Bay
Thank you for sharing this Bay front cottage with us. We enjoyed the location, and the spacious living quarters offered by Meme's Cottage including the bay side screened porch and living room/dining room layout. Very clean and well-kept. Nice kitchen and baths. Close to beaches. GREAT PLACE!

Lovely Cottage!
Such a great place in a perfect location, right on the water! Everything was as described. Cottage is on a quiet street, but within a reasonable distance to stores, restaurants and golf courses. Martha, our host, was great! Check in was easy and very responsive to any questions or issues. Cottage was clean and so comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Quiet Getaway
We were looking to get away over Christmas and found this residence. Very quiet neighborhood with easy access to attractions and great food ! Home was on the water and the fishing off the dock was excellent. Highly recommend this home. Our only drawback was we don’t understand the Rocu tv setup.

Tranquil getaway cottage
Meme’s cottage is just the place to relax and enjoy life away from the real world. Nice times on the screened in porch having lunch or just enjoying lemonade and sweet tea as the breeze blows. Great time fishing and just enjoying the sand by the water. Loved watching the dolphin swim back and forth by the dock. Just pure relaxation while you’re there.

Paradise on Mobile Bay
This property is as advertised. Actually, there was a major improvement in the primary bath from the time we booked in August of 2023 until we stayed at the house in March of 2024. A shower was added to the bathroom which was a wonderful addition. All of the main living areas look out over the bay. There are 2 screened porches which were so useful as well. My husband and I stayed here and were so glad we were not in Gulf Shores proper. This was much more appropriate to our laid-back style and it was very quiet. Martha, the host, was so responsive to our needs which was very much appreciated. This is definitely a winner! I would highly recommend this house and location.

Serenity NOW!
Meme’s Cottage is tastefully decorated with all of the amenities we needed. Martha was responsive to needs. She informed us of a problem with the freezer when we contacted her for our check-in. She made every effort to complete repairs during our stay. After 2 repair trips, with the problem unresolved, she delivered large cooler of ice. We would return to Meme’s in a heartbeat if back in the Gulf Shores area.

Thanksgiving getaway
We decided to have a Thanksgiving getaway with the dogs. We took them on beach walks (parked on Veterans) and trail walks (Fort Morgan Road Trail and Gulf Shores State Park.) The house was conveniently located for our needs. We enjoyed the dock and a couple very nice sunsets. The fence in front is not very tall, so if you take dogs, you may need to stay out with them. Ours jumped over several times chasing squirrels. Fortunately, the road dead ends just past the house and all was good (and the squirrels escaped.)
