Wonderful place for your family to have a beach vacation.
This is the second time that we have stayed at the Big Blue Beach Cottage. It has everything you need for a great family beach vacation. Very short walk to the beach, pools very close. Lots of amenities to take advantage of. We will definitely be back.

Excellent stay!
We stayed at this property in May 2025. 5 adults and 3 young kids. It was an excellent space for our family and perfect for young kids. It was a short walk the beach and a pool right out of the front door. We cooked in the home most nights and The kitchen had plenty of space and storage. Everything was clean and well maintained. We recommend without hesitation and plan to return!
We have stayed at Gulf Shores Plantation many times. We tried the beach house this time and loved it! We cant wait to rebook. This side of the complex was more quiet and relaxing! Jade was an exelent communicator and answered all my questions quickly. There was everything we needed in the unit blocks and books for the little one and games for the older ones. One pool was steps away with another one close by and beach just a few min walk away. Everyone in the group has decided this is our new beach vacations spot.
