Indiana & Texas

We had friends with their kids from Texas all stay together at this house. 11 total and there was still plenty of room. Great location and views of beach and lagoon. Owners are great very helpful and went out of their way. Our families made memories that will last forever. Definitely recommend and would come back.

Returning Guest

Our group, ranging from 8 months to 63 years old, stayed at the Compass Rose for a return visit. The location and layout of the house are hard to beat in Gulf Shores. The value and proximity to the beach and lagoon are perfect. Just far enough away from town that it feels a little less busy. The owners are responsive and accommodating. Our group’s only complaint is that the house could use some cosmetic updating such as furniture and fixtures. Everything seemed the same since we last stayed in 2018 and is showing quite a bit of wear. All very minor things, but we still give the rental 5 stars!

Family Vacation

Took our kids and grandkids 14 people in all. The house was just as described. Great location across the street from the beach and a shared swiming pool. Everyone enjoyed both. Went fishing off the pier very peaceful. Would recommend this property to everyone. Would stay here again. Thank you for shareing your beach house with us.

Amazing Stay

Loved the entire week! We had 12 people from ages 4 to 75! Plenty of room to spread out, lots of bathrooms, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, beautiful pool and dock, easy beach access. Amy was a dream. We had other family members who rented house 3. A trip of a lifetime!

About the host

Hosted by Matt and Amy Pater

Hi friends! We are the Pater Family! We reside in Tennesse but make frequent trips down to the beach! we love this location so much that we just had to buy a house there! We hope you love it too :)

Why they chose this property

We are only steps from the beach here at Sunwatch Cottages which is perfect when you have kids and stuff to tote along! The pool is wonderful and the pier into the lagoon makes for wonderful crabbing and fishing.

What makes this property unique

Our house had a gorgeous makeover in 2016 to reflect our personality after purchasing it. This being a 5 bedroom, newly built home makes it great for holding large family vacations. We have ample bed space, with bunk beds in the kids room and queen size beds in most of the guest rooms. Full size refrigerator, microwave, and dish washer along with a washer/ dryer. Picnic table and grill under the house.
