Loved the pool. Great option to the beach that could be crowded at times. The house was very pet friendly and loved that we could take our pet with us to Tacky Jacks right down the road. Beach supplies at rental were a huge plus as well.
The umbrella was perfect for Trixi.

Wonderful Stay!

Loved this beach house! It had nice views. We enjoyed the decks and the pool. As a con, you do have to go on the main road for a little to get to the beach as other reviewers mention.

Wonderful stay at Fort Morgan. The house was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the views of the bay and Gulf. It was a short walk to the beach and very quiet and relaxing. We would definitely book this home again.

Great Beach House

We loved the location! A short walk to the beach, easy drive into Gulf Shores (if you wanted) but we liked the "non-touristy" area that this house was in. Less than 2 miles to put in kayaks on the Bay side, Kiva Dunes golf course was only 2 miles away - although I thought Peninsula golf course was much better and that is only 6-7 miles. The property owners were great with communication, everything was as expected.

Wonderful Getaway

The house was absolutely adorable, your typical beach house. Kitchen fully stocked with everything you need. We loved the bed linens!! Thank you for a fabulous home-away-from-home. I loved the solitude of coming in January and having the beach to ourselves. We definitely want to plan a return trip. My grandkids visited and loved there was a sandy area with shells under the house to play in. Thanks again for a great vacation.

Beautiful Home!

My family stayed for a week and the house was beautiful! We had a great time! The King size bed was so comfy! My daughter and niece loved the bunk room. We did have a little problem with ants in the kitchen but Holly did what she could to fix it as soon as possible! Owners are extremely nice and easy to work with. Will recommend this home to friends!
