Welcome to Sunshine – A Relaxed Beach Retreat in Beautiful Morgantown

If you're dreaming of sun-soaked days, sea breezes, and peaceful evenings under the stars, Sunshine is your perfect getaway. Located just steps from a sandy boardwalk to the beach and a few houses from one of two sparkling community pools, this cheerful, pet-friendly home offers a relaxing escape where the whole family — including your pets — can unwind together.

The Home

Main Floor:
Open-concept living area bathed in natural light from tall windows and double glass doors
Cozy seating area and a large dining table perfect for sharing meals or late-night board games
Well-equipped kitchen for everything from pancake breakfasts to sunset charcuterie boards

Pet-Friendly Paradise
Bring your four-legged family members along. The beaches in Morgantown are pet friendly, and so is Sunshine. With quiet streets, soft sand, and plenty of fresh air, your pets will love it just as much as you do.

The Community
Nestled in the heart of Morgantown, a beloved seaside neighborhood along Fort Morgan Road, you’ll enjoy:
Two swimming pools, a kiddie pool, and lighted tennis and pickleball courts
Quiet streets ideal for walking, biking, or evening golf cart rides
Several beach boardwalks for easy access to the Gulf's sugar-white sands

Local Flavor
You’re only 15 scenic miles from Gulf Shores and just minutes from local favorites like Sassy Bass, Tacky Jack’s, and the newly opened Jesse’s on the Bay. Need essentials? Dollar General and Sassy Bass Market are just down the road.

Outdoor Adventure
Whether you’re casting a line from the newly reopened Fort Morgan Fishing Pier or exploring the historic fort itself, you’ll find endless ways to enjoy the natural beauty of Alabama’s Gulf Coast.

Good to Know
Renter must be at least 25 years old
Parking for up to 6 vehicles

Stevens Thanksgiving Holiday

The house fit our extended family perfectly. My husband and I used the bedroom downstairs with our grandkids in the bunk room. My 3 children and their spouses slept upstairs. Having 4 king size beds was a big plus. Plenty of room in the family room and kitchen area for all to watch ballgames and a big table for card games. We were able to host Thanksgiving for 4 other family’s staying in the neighborhood with all the outside seating too.

Sunshine

We had a wonderful stay at the Sunshine at Fort Morgan. The house was clean neat and just a short walk to the beach. The only thing we did not like was that there were way to many Knick knacks around the house. Covered every table,corner etc. was a little hard for crawling babies with things on the floors in corners everywhere. The dressers and tables in the bedrooms along with bathroom countertops were covered with Knick knacks too. You didn’t have much room if any to put your own things down. Overall very nice house and would stay again.

Amazing stay!

We absolutely loved this vacation house. We had to change a few things around and the owner was fabulous with our circumstances. It was the perfect location for our kids, ranging from ages 2-10. It was clean and everything they put online was extremely accurate. We would 100% stay here again! Highly recommend!

Great House

The house was perfect for us. The kids loved the bunk room and the house was roomy enough for everyone to be comfortable. Location is perfect! Cross the street and down the boardwalk to the beach. I hope to rent again one day.

Perfect family getaway!

House was perfect location with easy access to beach and pools. We love this neighborhood as we have rented other houses here for years and this property was just as lovely- almost as good as being right on beach with the boardwalk right across the street. It was also family & pet friendly which was great! We didn’t have great weather but the house was well stocked for cooking and we enjoyed the board games and video games we brought along. Plenty of room for our family of 5!
