The house was very clean. We liked the close proximity to the beach and that you could see and hear the waves from the deck. It was stocked with all essentials needed to get you started. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will definitely stay here again.

My family of 5 had the best time at Jelly Fish Twist! We’ve been coming to Fort Morgan for about a decade, stayed in Condos and several houses. This one was by far the best. It’s well stocked, clean, and comfy with a short walk to the beach. The host was amazing and helpful. Highly recommend and will be booking again in the future

Cozy cute beach house

We enjoyed our stay. Loved mornings on the front deck listening to the ocean. Living room was cozy & a great place to relax. We appreciated the beach cart so we could haul our cooler & gear to the beach. Added bonus was the elevator/lift to move our luggage in & out.

Lovely property with all amenities. Everything as described. Swing on porch was best! Upstairs bedroom perfect for teen to stow away, as they typically do. Would rent again. Owner very responsive and home was fantastic. Elevator was life saver!

Jellyfish Twist - Best I've stayed in in over 30 years of visiting Gulf Shores area

My extended family and I have been vacationing in L.A. (Lower Alabama) for nearly 35 years. We've stayed in some great places and some terrible ones. Jellyfish Twist is hands down the best we have stayed at overall. Ample parking, composite decking and furniture outside, free coffee, hotel-style body wash, conditioner, and shampoo, comfortable furniture, amazing host, you name, this place had it. Interior stairs were carpeted and quiet! No creaks, no worry of waking up anyone in the master suite. It was great for a group of early risers upstairs and late sleepers downstairs. Laurel was amazing to work with and even brought a new microwave, as a previous guest had broken the opening mechanism on the old one. One of the best parts? No one complained about the beds! And I had to sleep on the kiddie trundle bed. The location is quite far from the main drag in Gulf Shores, but with a little planning, it works well. Love not having to fight with people for beach spots. Perhaps the only two cons were that it sits about 800 feet from the two easy beach accesses, so you hook it, or drive a short distance. Worth it. The other might be that there is no unimpeded view of the beach, mostly because of the utilities. We also had to deal with construction next door (and the chigging of a generator to power their tools), but that's nothing new for the area.All in all we were very pleased with Jellyfiish Twist and will have it on our short list of places to stay at from now on.

This home was absolutely immaculate! It was stocked with everything from beach towels to laundry essentials. It was very pet friendly! The cargo lift was a nice surprise. It was so close to the beach and the view was perfect!
