Autumn by the Beach/ Sunny Fall Savings/ Walk to Gulf /Sleeps 10


Welcome to the" Beach Bum" in Morgantown! Constructed in 2018 this 3 bedroom 2 bath home is located in Morgantown community of Fort Morgan area of Gulf Shores. The Beach Bum with its open and airy layout plan that comfortably sleeps 10. Located on gulf side of scenic Fort Morgan Road, this walking, bike, and golf cart friendly community is located between mile marker 6 and 7. Features 3 private beach accesses with boardwalks, golf cart parking and one public beach access with parking lot for cars, 2 Pools, tennis/pickle ball courts and basketball goal. One pool newly renovated. Also, Morgantown and its resident's practice “Leave Only Footprints." This is to protect wildlife, especially mama sea turtles who come ashore to nest between months of May and October. Enjoy this charming beach home furnished with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. We offer commercial ice machine, and beach cart not to mention beach toys and a well-stocked kitchen. From the Beach Bum, it is just a little over a block to the beach, tennis courts and pools. The short walk to beach (5-10 minutes due to how fast or slow you walk) you will see scenic wetlands, beautiful homes and variety of wildlife. You will not have any busy roads in beautiful laid-back Morgantown. Here life slows down and get ready for your troubles to lift off your shoulders. Open and airy floor plan includes 3 bedrooms which are master with king bed, memory foam mattress and master bath with walk in shower; queen bed with memory foam mattress in 2nd bedroom; 3rd bedroom features 2 full size beds with memory foam mattresses. Also have twin bunk alcove names "The Turtles Nest". Fun for the little ones with sea life mural on walls; but roomy and comfortable enough for 2 adults. Second bath has shower/tub combo located in area of these bedrooms. Each bedroom has a smart TV, also a smart TV located in living room. Charcoal grill is available for those grill masters. Front porch deck area you can watch stunning sunrises and sunsets in which you can hear waves crashing onto shore. If you are lucky enough, you may even get to see Blue Angels practice during the week. The back porch deck area looks over Morgan Lakes not necessarily a lake but marsh area which is a beautiful habitat. Who knows what wildlife you may get to observe while sitting back drinking your coffee or 5 o'clock somewhere drink. We have furnished our home with the essentials we like to make it as comfortable as possible.
Located away from crowded beaches and busy touristy downtown Gulf Shores but is only 15-20 minutes into town. If you don't feel like driving into town on a lazy beach day the Sassy Bass, Tacky Jacks, and upscale Jesse's on the Bay are 3 closets restaurants with delicious menu. Sassy Bass also has convenient store to pick up any needed essentials without having to go into town. Sassy Bass also has pizza delivery and they are delicious A Dollar General is just down the road. The full-service Fort Morgan marina is approximately 3 miles from Morgantown. Opportunities for everyone include fishing, swimming, kayaking, walking trails and golf courses are close by. History lovers can tour Fort Morgan at end of peninsula. Follow us on Facebook: The Beach Bum in Morgantown Gulf Shores AL.
Unfortunately, we do not rent to anyone younger than 23. This is family friendly area. If you are looking for a partying scene this is NOT the home for you. NO smoking and also this home is NOT pet friendly! We DO want you to have fun, relax and unwind!

We had such a great stay at this beach house! The location was perfect—just a short, easy walk to the beach, which made going back and forth super convenient. We also loved having access to the pools and tennis courts, it gave us plenty to do without even leaving the property.The house itself had everything we needed and more. Felt like home away from home! You aren’t too far from town but still excluded to feel not so overwhelmed. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We loved the commutation and kindness with owners as well. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun and easy beach getaway!

What a wonderful place to spend our yearly sibling get-away! My sister, brother and I were so relaxed with the natural nature surroundings. The home was very clean and very well equipped. We stayed for a week in the second week in September and the neighborhood was very quiet. Just the way we like it!

Relaxing Stay

This property was just as listed, spacious, clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for everyday living as well as items for the beach. The location was just a short walk to the beach and pool- even if we forgot something, it wasn't a big deal to run back to the house to get things. Would definitely return to this property if we're ever back in Fort Morgan.

Great home. Proper beach cart and commercial ice maker were fantastic bonusesOne of the most well equipped kitchens we’ve had the pleasure of renting.As for the community,Clean, secure and well maintained. Limited new construction going on at this time so that was nice. Nice community pool that appears to be newer, but it is on the smaller side. It was windy and cooler on our visit so the pool was crowded most days. Limited beach parking even with golf carts in Morgantown. Lots of no parking signs everywhere which I can understand just be prepared for a longish walk if you want to access any boardwalks other than the one with vehicle parking. Also, if you rent a cart in this community just know you can’t venture far and there is no access to stores or restaurants via carts (legally)All and all a very nice home to rent on the gulf

Beautiful getaway by the ocean

This wonderful property by the ocean was a relaxing getaway my family needed. Located just a short walk to the beach. The home was fully equipped with accommodations for us to spend time together playing at the beach as well as in the home. The high ceilings and soothing color scheme really made this space enjoyable to spend time in the home when not at the beach.

2025 New Years is a Beach

The home was very well decorated and perfect for our needs with a comfortable master bedroom mattress. Note that the main TV could use updating. The home was equipped with everything one would need for a beach vacation. The location of the home was in a very nice beach subdivision where most homes were well kept. The beach was very convenient with the use of the owner's golf cart which was well appreciated.

So Relaxing

I looked at a lot of properties before I picked Beach Bum. The house was way bigger than what I needed, since it was just me, but it looked perfect. And it was. Other than the wonky stairs from the carport to the entry, this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had traveling. I walked the beach every day, found some great restaurants, ate a lot of Waffle House grits, and relaxed, which is what I needed. I loved everything about this trip. And Beach Bum was a huge part of it.
