About this house rental
This home, completed in 2006, is situated directly on the ocean along Alabama's coast. It offers vacationers the best there is to enjoy a quiet, relaxed time on the beach. The home was the featured home on HGTV's My Lottery Dream Home Season 1, Episode 9. The home has been specifically designed to cater to all those little things you would have wanted in order to provide for a hassle free time on the beach--including deck chairs, beach towels, and all the basic kitchen amenities.
The home consists of 3 bedrooms ( 1 king, 1 queen, 2 twins). There is also a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. There are 2 baths inside (1 with shower, 1 with tub/shower combo). An outdoor bath and shower is located on the lower deck. It is fully private and has both hot and cold water.
There is a TV located in each bedroom and also in the living room. Wifi is also provided. A DVD player is located in the living room, and a sampling of movies is provided.
The home features open plan living, with the kitchen, living, and dining all composing one large room with a commanding view of the ocean. Dolphins can often been seen right from this room.
Off of this main living area, you will find a large deck overlooking the ocean which is perfect for lounging and watching the waves. Rocking chairs and lounge chairs are provided, along with a picnic table. A portion of the deck is covered, so it can be enjoyed even in the heat of the day. A staircase off of the deck leads you right down to the beach--with no walkways or boardwalks to cross. It is truly beachfront.
Mainstay Cottage is rented on a weekly basis most of the year with turn over days on Saturday only. It is rented on a monthly basis December through February. Check in is 3 pm and check out is 9 am.

Our favorite beach house we have stayed in, and by far the cleanest. the home is supplied with everything you need, including ALL the beach supplies. Pete is an excellent host and very responsive. Appreciated all the water hoses and private outdoor shower to clean all the sand off of kids before going inside. we will definitely be booking this house again! Subdivision is quiet and beach access was perfect.

This is our 4th stay at Mainstay Cottage. It is the best rental at the Gulf Coast. It has the kindest host who is attentive & accommodating. Pete provides everything one could need (fully outfitted kitchen, comfy bedding, several levels of porch sitting with plenty of chairs, beach umbrellas & surf chairs, large covered parking). He is always doing updates & upgrades & you can tell he takes great pride in providing a relaxing, comfortable stay. We don’t leave once we’re unpacked. The views from the porch & the great room/kitchen are stunning. A roomy beach is just steps away.

We really enjoyed staying here. It is one of the best stocked, clean, comfortable vrbo’s we’ve stayed at in the Gulf area. I would love to return to this property some day.
