Property Description
Back on the market due to buyer financing issues-no fault of the seller. This adorable coastal cottage is the perfect Gulf Shores getaway! Located on a quiet corner lot at the end of a dead-end street, the home offers added privacy and peaceful waterfront views. Inside, you'll find an open, breezy floor plan filled with natural light and coastal charm. Enjoy both a screened-in porch on the south side and an open deck on the north side-ideal for soaking in the sun or winding down with unforgettable Little Lagoon sunsets. The property sits directly on a canal with an updated seawall and boat launch, making it perfect for boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and more. There's plenty of space to store your toys, boats, and gear. Best of all, you're just a 10-minute walk (approx. 0.5 miles) to the beach, with local restaurants, shopping, and entertainment all within walking distance-so you can park the car and relax. Coastal living doesn't get much better than this! Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
