Our Story

A family legacy of hospitality on the shores of Cotton Bayou.

A Treasured Family Retreat

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.
