This vacation home places you next to Little Lagoon and within a mile (2 km) of West Beach. The vacation home includes a private pool, a kitchen, and a balcony.
Built with gatherings in mind, Morning Glory is a beachfront retreat that sleeps up to 34 guests in 12 bedrooms, every one with its own private bathroom. An elevator and a private pool, heatable October through May for an extra $60/day, make life easy, and thoughtfully planned living spaces, generous porches, and a stretch of white sand beach round out everything needed for a memorable escape to the coast.

Some of Our Guests Favorite Amenities: - Beachfront with Dune Walkover - 100 Feet of Private Beach - Private Heatable Pool - Elevator - Handicap Accessible Bedroom and Bath - Expansive Porches - Game Room - Smart TVs & Complimentary Wi-Fi
Plenty of seating and a smart TV fill the roomy main floor living area, a natural spot for the group to gather and unwind. Next to it, the large kitchen is stocked for cooking and serving big meals, with 2 sinks, 2 refrigerators, 2 stoves, 3 dishwashers, an undercounter ice maker, drip and Keurig coffee makers, and a connected pantry. A large table seats 16+ in the dining space, with bar seating for additional guests, and a wet bar with a second undercounter ice maker and dual beverage fridges keeps drinks within reach. 5 bedrooms sit on this level, each with a private bath. 2 of them face the beach, one with its own porch and the other opening straight onto the pool deck, and the east King bedroom has a handicap accessible bathroom. The other 3 look out over the lagoon, with a King bed in the first, a pair of Queen beds in the second, and a King bed in the third. A large laundry room finishes off the floor.
Upstairs, the top floor revolves around a family room that has another smart TV, a foosball table for game room fun, direct porch access, and a wet bar with a microwave and beverage fridge. 7 bedrooms, each with its own bath, make up the heart of this level. 4 face the beach: 2 with a pair of Queen beds and access to the shared porch, and 2 with a King and a Twin daybed plus a private porch. The remaining 3 take in lagoon views, with 2 featuring King beds and the third offering a pair of Queens. A second laundry area and a powder room wrap up the floor.
Out back, a private heatable pool sits on an expansive deck with plenty of room for sunbathing and dining al fresco. A porch overlooking the pool adds even more space to soak in panoramic beach views and the ocean breeze. Beneath the house, extra dining and seating areas pair with charcoal grills for beachside cookouts, and hammocks invite a little more relaxation. A dune walkover leads to your own stretch of private beach, and an outdoor shower makes cleaning up after a sun-filled day easy.
Morning Glory is in the West Beach area of Gulf Shores, 5.3 miles from Hwy 59, striking a balance between a cozy, intimate setting and quick access to the best of Gulf Shores.

Morning Glory was 100% the right house for our group! The house had everything we needed to accommodate our week. Great space for business retreat, perfect outdoor deck with heated pool and private entrance to ocean. The communication with the owners were perfect. We will be back!
Our first visit to Gulf Shores and staying at Morning Glory. Rental people were very helpful with a couple mechanical issues. Space is beautiful and everything we expected. It could use a little TLC between seasons Would definitely recommend to others

This house is perfect for our college sorority reunion. Plenty of bathrooms, beds, large gathering area and a great kitchen! This is probably our 5 or 6th year to rent this house...and our 15th year to gather in January. We love and and look forward to next year. TOP NOTCH folks manage it too!
This was a great beach house for my large family - me and my husband, 7 adult children + spouses, and lots of grandkids. The house was clean, comfortable, and spacious. Couples were grateful to have their own rooms, with nearby double rooms for the kids. Large gathering areas - living room, upstairs den, multiple porches, dining area - and multiple appliances accommodated our large tribe perfectly. We made one service call the evening we arrived due to the upstairs AC not working; a repairman arrived within minutes and quickly fixed the problem. Direct access to the beach was wonderful, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool. Already making plans for a return trip next summer!

We have rented this house for several years for our Sorority Beach gathering. It has a great space downstairs with plenty of room for a large well as a game room upstairs for smaller groups. Comfortable beds including the sheets! PLENTY of plates, bowls, flatware, cooking utensils and dishes for a CROWD. Lay out is great. The property is well maintained. Quiet and relaxed! Tons of places to eat. BEAUTIFUL beach!

Our group of friends (26 adults and 5 kids) stayed the July 4th week at this absolutely perfect home on a large private beach lot. Well maintained, beautifully decorated and equipped, with professional/accessible/responsive owners/management, you won't go wrong booking this home while enjoying The beach. Pool cleaning occurred at least twice during the week. Even when we couldn't locate the foozballs, the management team brought new ones the very next day. Without hesitation, I would recommend this fabulous house (large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms).We will definitely rebook for 2018.
The property was as described and enough space for everyone. The elevator was perfect for moving the luggage in and out. The beach access was wonderful and absolutely recommend the heated pool. Beds were comfortable and having two ice makers, dishwashers and fridges made life easy. Every room had their own en suite which was very important to our group. The hammocks were nice and the chairs and pool toys were a great bonus. Didn't use the grill but it look suitable for a large group. We had a maintenence issue while we were there and the maintenance staff was at the house within the hour after we contacted management. Really appreciated the quick response! Throughout the booking and leading up to the stay management was also quick to respond inquiries. The group agreed we would rent the place again with no hesitation.

Reviewer Comments:
This was our second time staying at Morning glory. The location is perfect. We had almost the max number of people staying here and we all fit great and didn’t feel too crowded. We had a few small issues like running out of trash bags (a house this size should come with more if they are being provided) and the trash didn’t get moved to the street as we were told, but the company was very quick to remedy these situations. Many of our guests did feel that the beds were uncomfortable this year and it might be time to replace the mattresses. Overall, we love the house and the location. It is a little further away from all of the condos so you feel like you have the beach to yourselves!

We were stuck inside due to Tropical Storm Cindy but there was plenty of room for all. Made it bareable. Well stocked kitchen. Almost too well stock, not much room to store food. Beds and bedding were comfortable.Beach is great, no one around. We had a few maintenance issues that were addressed in a timely manor. One was an electrical problem that kept reoccurring but we knew what was wrong so we fixed it. A permanent solution is needed. Getting all the towels in the laundry was not an issue but dishes cleaned and put away is not possible. You need to be on the road by 9 due to traffic. There's no way to make breakfast, eat, clean up with 28 people. Waiting for the dishwasher is unrealisti. You won't go wrong renting Morning Glory.

I have previously stayed in this property and unfortunately, it has not been properly maintained. Upon our arrival, the air conditioning on the main level was not operational, and service was not scheduled until the following day, leaving us without air conditioning for nearly 24 hours during which it became quite warm while we prepared meals. Additionally, we encountered evidence of rodents and noticed several insects. I was disappointed that no compensation was offered for these issues. The property requires some basic maintenance, such as repairing holes in the walls, painting, and a thorough cleaning.

A group of 12 married couples from church have been coming to Morning Glory since 2019. The layout and amenities fit our needs perfectly. There are always minor issues that come with renting a house but the staff was very quick and cordial to respond. We utilized the complimentary tickets for deep sea fishing, golf and the dolphin cruise. We frequented a number of restaurants but seemed to enjoy The Oyster House the most. Shopping was also top of the list for many. We had a lot of fun, fellowship and sun.

This is our third trip to Gulf Shores with a large group of friends this year this year we had 13 couples. Morning Glory is in a great location, the house was very clean. However we did have some issues with the house one of the bedrooms on floor two didn’t work and was not repaired until the third day of our trip, one of the freezer sections in the fridge was broken and was not able to be repaired . One of the ice makers had an issue but it was repaired . Tracy was very helpful is getting most of the things repaired . We enjoyed the covered space under the house and the covered area by the pool. The weather was great and we had a wonderful week.

Everyone was talking about when we could vacation here again. The beaches were beautiful and the home was close to everything. The management was great and helped with anything we needed for my son in a wheelchair. I can’t brag about this house enough! Book it, you’ll fall in love like we did!!
