Couples Cottage Retreat | The Rookery-A relaxed beach retreat

A relaxed beach retreat with resort-style amenities and easy beach access — all at a better value than Gulf-front condos.

Welcome to Rays A Glass – Your Coastal Cottage Retreat in Gulf Shores
Tucked away in the peaceful Fort Morgan area of Gulf Shores, Rays A Glass is a beautifully remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bath coastal cottage located in the sought-after Rookery I & II community. Just across the street from the Gulf of Mexico, this home is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and create lasting memories with family and friends. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel like you’ve discovered your own happy place.
A Home Designed for Comfort & Style
Step inside to find a spacious open-concept living area with gorgeous hardwood floors, coastal-inspired décor, and comfortable furnishings. The living space flows seamlessly into the fully equipped kitchen, making it easy to cook meals, gather, and entertain. The kitchen is thoughtfully set up with everything you need — from cookware and dishes to modern appliances — so you can enjoy the convenience of home even while on vacation.
The highlight of this cottage is its tropical indoor-outdoor living. Spend mornings sipping coffee on the screened-in porch surrounded by swaying palm trees, or unwind in the shaded sitting area after a fun-filled beach day. It’s the perfect spot to read, relax, or enjoy an evening cocktail.
