About Us | Cotton Bayou Cottages

A Family Legacy Since 1979

For over 45 years, Cotton Bayou Cottages has been a cherished family legacy, providing a unique slice of Orange Beach paradise. What started as a beloved family retreat has grown into two distinct cottages - Dunrobin and Heron's Nest - each offering a warm, inviting escape where generations of guests have made lasting memories.

Our commitment extends beyond just rentals; we invite you to become part of our story, to experience the tranquility and adventure that drew our family here decades ago. We pride ourselves on creating a comfortable, dog-friendly environment where every guest feels like family.

When you stay at Cotton Bayou Cottages, you're not just booking a vacation rental - you're becoming part of a community and creating your own family traditions that will last generations.

Location & Surroundings

Located on Cotton Bayou in Orange Beach, Alabama, our cottages offer a unique waterfront experience that combines the best of coastal living with easy access to adventure.

The bayou is a haven for wildlife, with dolphins frequently playing in the waters and herons standing gracefully along the shoreline. Anglers will love casting a line from our shared pier, while nature enthusiasts can watch the sunrise over the calm waters.

Despite the peaceful setting, you're never far from action. The Gulf beach is just across the street, offering miles of pristine white sand. Local attractions, restaurants, and entertainment are all within a short drive.
