When you come back from the beach be sure to rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower with both hot & cold water. Morning sunrises to late night talks can be spent on the covered front porch which offers plenty of seating and three rocking chairs. Other amenities include Satellite TV, TV’s & DVD’s in all bedrooms and living room, an outdoor grill and a very well stocked kitchen.

Of the 3 bedrooms, the master bedroom has a king size bed; bedroom 2 has a queen size bed and bedroom 3 has a queen & twin size bed. The living room has a queen size sleeper sofa. Sleeps 9.

This was my first stay using VRBO and the property did not disappoint. The property is just as described, very clean and appointed well with a little bit of a sun/salty character on the large decks. Location is really great with views of the gulf with fairly good privacy, yet easy access. Nice heatable pool. I really enjoyed the large front deck when you want to get out of the sun for a while. Great communication and Mick was responsive for any questions thank you!

We have been to Fort Morgen before and love the quiet beaches there. This house was just as it looked online. Clean, spacious deck, clean pool. Heating the pool was perfect in early spring (small fee per day to heat but owner told us about that a month early). Owner was very nice, easy to reach and responded promptly. House did not come with a lot of amenities like beach toys/chairs, bikes ect but we were not expecting them so it was fine. The house does sit in a neighborhood so walking in evening/mornings was nice. Beach access is right across the driveway. It was a great place for spring break.

This is absolutely the best property to stay with the beach basically at your front door. I love not having to go up and down stairs to the private pool this place also offers. There are several eateries within a 5 mile radius. It’s a beautifully quiet end of the beach. This house has everything you could possibly need for a great vacation.

The house was perfect front covered deck or back pool deck the ocean was in full view, just beautiful. Had great communication with the host Mick he was absolutely wonderful. House was clean well organized, with all the necessities in the kitchen, just perfect. Away from the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores with a short drive if you want to look things over. Close to the ferry we took that across and went and explored Fort Gaines on Dauphin Island. The whole vacation was 10/10. We will be back.

Wonderful week of family relaxation.

We have stayed here for multiple vacations, and usually with a larger group, including younger family members. Check-in and check-outs are so simple and Communication with the owner is easily available. This facility is always clean and provides many essentials. The kitchen has all the cookware needed, and there is an outside grill available. The large front porch provides an excellent view of the beach , which is literally across the street. But the great pool is one of the things that keeps us coming back. Someone is in it constantly. There is also great restaurants and shopping areas close by. Love the place, and we will be returning to enjoy it all again.

Perfect family get away

This home was perfect for our family! The house was very clean and well stocked with all you need. Located just steps from the beach without all the crowd. We saw all sorts of sea life, and tons of dolphins. The front porch was perfect to sit in the morning with a cup of coffee and watch the waves. The pool is an added benefit with the kiddos! Mick was an exceptional host!! We will def be staying here on our next visit.

Family Friendly Beach House!

We had a wonderful stay at this house! The owner was incredibly friendly and quick to respond when we had a minor issue — it was resolved right away, which we really appreciated. The house itself was spotless and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is fantastic — just a short walk to the beach — and the views from the front porch were absolutely beautiful. Enjoying our morning coffee while looking out over the scenery was a highlight of the trip. Highly recommend!
