Sunset Bayou : Bord de l’eau, quai & kayaks, 14 couchages

Sunset Bayou is a private waterfront compound on Collins Bayou, with sunset views across Bon Secour Bay. The four-bedroom main house and separate guest cottage sleep 14, so two or three families can stay together with room to spread out.

Fish or watch the sunset from your own dock. Take out the kayaks and rowboat, which are included. Eat on the screened porches. The wooded lot is more than an acre, with parking for six to eight cars.

The Gulf beaches are three minutes away. Jesse's Restaurant is one minute. Kiva Dunes and Peninsula golf are five. Keyless entry makes arrival easy.

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: This home requires acceptance of the guest agreement below and a refundable $500 security deposit hold before check-in. Entry instructions are sent once both are complete. No pets. Swimming in the bayou is not allowed because alligators are present.
