Cotton Bayou

Cotton Bayou: Orange Beach Paradise

This complex is a little older than most, having been built in 1983, but in no way are the units outdated. The complex has 68 units scattered over a number of three-story buildings. They consist of two or three bedrooms where some include lofts that can be used as an additional bedroom. The units range from 1,100 square feet to 1,400 square feet. This complex is pet-friendly and, like many condominiums in the area, some are used as vacation rentals.

Cotton Bayou Amenities

The grounds include amenities such as an outdoor pool, with its own tiki bar, tennis facilities, picnic tables, barbeque pits, a gazebo, pier fishing, and there is also on-site management. Cotton Bayou is located off Perdido Beach Boulevard and faces Cotton Bayou. This location allows easy and convenient access for both the beach and the bay. The complex has its own private boating facilities including slips that are first come first served. In addition, there is a boat ramp for easy water access and also, covered parking with high ceilings under the condo complexes to store boats. The bayou access is a gateway to several local restaurants as well as Cotton Bayou State Park.

The complex is within the Baldwin County School District with younger students heading to Orange Beach Elementary and is also served by Gulf Shores Middle School and Gulf Shores High School. Cotton Bayou condominiums are located across the street from Gulf Shore’s beaches and are in close proximity to restaurants and shopping.
