Newly updated, screened porches, dog friendly, fenced yard

Relax under the moss covered oaks or on your own screened front porch and enjoy the majestic views mother nature offers on Historic Mobile Bay. Meme's (mee-mees) split floor plan has two bedrooms, 2 baths, full kitchen, laundry, and dining room with an extra large table. The living room stretches across the whole front of the house so you always have a view of the bay and our covered dock. The master has a king bed and the guest bedroom two twins. The living room has a sleeper sofa that accommodates another two people.

Enjoy the two screened porches and views of both the bay and Shell Banks Bayou. The large back patio is the perfect place to grill out. The yard is fully fenced on the street side so children and dogs will have a safe place to play. Pet friendly for up to two dogs.

Our covered dock is a favorite place to sit and watch the pelicans, seagulls and dolphins play or throw a line and catch some fish for dinner. Catch the most awesome sunsets, have a glass of wine and enjoy beautiful evenings looking out on the water.

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.)

Cute and Comfy
We met up with other family during our stay so we were rarely at Memme's. At most we were there to sleep. The home was very nice and comfy. We had the master room which has an attached bathroom with tub and used the other bathroom with the shower and no tub. Basically the only thing I could say that could be different is to have a shower in both baths. We had coffee in the front as well as out back and it was a nice view with the water. We were only there to pretty much sleep and shower.
