Resort Pools · Hot Tub · Indoor Pool · Beach Walk

Take the 3 to 5 minute walk to beach access on Fort Morgan's quieter shore, then spend the afternoon at the resort pool and ease into the hot tub as the sun drops. This is the family vacation where the kids never ask what's next, the evenings run slow, and nobody checks the time. Sugar white sand, six outdoor pools, and a 2 bedroom condo that feels like home base for the whole crew, with quiet mornings and sandy toes.

ABOUT THIS SPACE
This 2 bath condo sleeps 6 inside a gated community on the Fort Morgan peninsula.

The kitchen, dining and living area share one open room, so whoever is cooking stays in the conversation. The kitchen has full size appliances, a dishwasher, a Keurig and a drip coffee maker, a kettle, a blender, a toaster, and the pots, pans, dishes and silverware for family meals. Three stools line the breakfast bar, and there is a dining table for sit-down dinners. Bring your favorite pods or grounds; the view is on us. If you rely on a specialty appliance, plan to bring it.

In the living room, a sofa and armchair face the wall-mounted TV, and sliding glass doors open to your private balcony. Board games and children's dinnerware are on hand.

Bedroom one has a king bed, room-darkening shades and an ensuite bathroom. Bedroom two has a full size bed and a twin-over-twin bunk, a natural fit for kids and teens. Both bathrooms have a shower and tub combination. Towels, linens, shampoo and body soap are provided. There is no hair dryer, so pack one if you need it.

Beyond your door: six outdoor pools, an indoor pool, a hot tub, a sand volleyball court, and pickleball, tennis and basketball courts. Shared grill stations and picnic tables make cookouts easy, and the amenities list a BBQ grill with barbecue utensils. Laundry is in the building (paid washer and dryer).

Your starter pack covers the first day or two: one paper towel roll, one toilet paper roll per bathroom, one dishwasher pod, one trash bag per can, plus dish soap and hand soap. For a week-long stay, plan to pick up extra trash bags, toilet paper and dishwasher pods with your groceries. One recent guest wished there were more of these basics, so we are telling you up front.

LOCATION & WHAT'S NEARBY
You are on the quiet side of the coast. The beach is a 3 to 5 minute walk, and the walk to beach access follows sidewalks and a boardwalk to wide, uncrowded beach and sugar white sand. The condo is not on the sand, so pack your chairs and stroll over. The listing includes a beach view, but nearby buildings are part of the scene, so expect a coastal setting rather than an open Gulf panorama.

On site dining: Sassy Bass for casual coastal comfort food and drinks, Selah coffee shop for breakfast sandwiches and ice cream, and the resort pools and courts.

A short drive away (times are approximate and vary with traffic and season):
- Fort Morgan Historic Site: about 10 to 15 minutes
- Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, for birding and trails: about 20 minutes
- Tacky Jacks 2, for lunch with views over the water: a short drive
- Heart of Gulf Shores, for dining and entertainment: about 20 minutes
- Publix and Rouses Market in Gulf Shores: about 20 minutes
- Gulf State Park trails and pier: about 25 minutes
- The Wharf in Orange Beach: about 35 to 40 minutes

Stop for groceries in Gulf Shores on your way in, then settle into the slower pace of the peninsula.

WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR
- Families on a family vacation: kids rotate between pools, beach and courts while parents relax.
- Two couples or friends: sleeps 6, with a king bedroom and two full bathrooms.
- Multigenerational trips: an elevator in the building, a calm gated community, and a short walk to the sand.
- Pool lovers: six outdoor pools, an indoor pool and a hot tub in one resort.
- Active vacationers: pickleball, tennis, basketball and volleyball on site.
- Snowbirds: monthly stays are available November through February. Message us for rates and availability.

If you want nightlife on your doorstep, this peaceful stretch may feel too quiet. If you want sandy evenings and quiet mornings, you are in the right place.
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Just What We Needed for a Getaway!

FiveSails is a wonderful and fully equipped place to run away from home to. We enjoyed our time in the area -- we have stayed here quite a few years in a row! We met people from all over the USA and many of the same people return to this complex year after year. We loved the many restaurants we tried and the sights. We will be back!

Fall break vacation

The condo was very cozy, inviting, and family friendly! We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this unit to anyone. You will have everything that you need and most importantly you are only a few steps away from the beach. Chip and Veda are amazing hosts, they communication was impeccable,and we can't wait to visit again!

Wonderful!

We absolutely LOVED this unit. We have stayed at the Plantation several times in the past, but this is the first one we will return to. The owners are accessible and helpful. The unit is clean, bright, and updated. We loved being on the first floor, especially since the teen brought all of his fishing gear. Thank you so much for a great trip!

Great experience

We loved our stay and everything was very nice and clean. Everything worked as it should. The pools and bathrooms at the pools were great and you can tell this complex works very hard at maintenance. IT is very noticeable and very appreciated. We came just prior to Hurricane Ian and the flys on the beach were intense and bit very hard. Obviously there is no control over that, I was just curious if its a time of year or a weather thing. I assume this is not the standard.

PERFECT

This was our second year to stay at Five Sails! We absolutely love the condo and just like last year, we immediately felt right at home upon arrival. The condo is so bright and refreshing and decorated so beautifully. The rain kept us inside on the first night but it turned out to one of our favorite evenings. They have so many games for the family to enjoy and we took advantage of game nite and shared many laughs.. The next morning we loaded up our wagon and headed out to the beach, which is literally just a quick and easy walk down the boardwalk. With the condo unit on first floor, it makes getting our stuff down there so easy. We spent everyday at the beach and packed lunch a few times as well as a quick trip back to condo to grab snacks. The location is simply amazing. I brought my 5 yr old grandson so the fact that it is 3 minutes to room sure makes “potty” runs such a breeze. We are already planning our week for next summer. We had 3 adults and one child and every single one us said how we just felt like we were “home”. Such a comfortable welcoming place. I want to add that Chip and Veda are the best hosts I’ve ever worked with. I didn’t have on my glasses one day but ran to room and low and behold I entered our pass code wrong over 3 times, causing me to shut down lock system. I was so embarrassed but reached out to Chip and he had door open within minutes and NEVER once got upset with me. The response time blew me away. They are so gracious and I will continue going to my favorite condo for as king as they allow it!! Perfect vacation!
