Beautiful 3 Bedroom 3 Bath at the Beach!

If you like beach life, you will love Seashell Sanctuary. This property has it all. You name it, from a gorgeous, wide, white sand beach and beautiful water of the gulf to pools galore! It has basketball, tennis, horseshoes and shuffleboard. Hot tubs and a workout room and did I mention the beach? From the moment that you turn onto the property and drive down the beautifully landscaped, winding entry road, you will know that you have found something special. Families that discover the Plantation return year after year. It is far enough from the congested condo section, of Gulf Shores, to benefit from much less crowded beaches, yet a nice beautiful drive into town will land you at some of the best restaurants, night life, and family entertainment around including water parks, go carts and miniature golf. Seashell Sanctuary features three bedrooms and three baths on each side of the house. There are granite counter tops in the kitchen, and baths along with premium mirrors which have added a touch of class to the beach. The furniture is cleaned on a regular basis and replaced when it begins to show wear. Bring the whole family and share the expense. Seashell Sanctuary will sleep 18 people if both sides are rented. The "Abalone" side (VRBO.com/608340) will sleep 8 and the "Blue Whelk" side (VRBO.com/608341) will sleep 10. Black-out curtains gives privacy and comfort to the guest using the high quality, double pump, inflatable mattresses in the living room. The three baths really come in handy for this as well. One of the baths is located on the main level along with the living room, kitchen, and one of the king bedrooms. The other two baths are located upstairs along with the other two bedrooms. The master has an ensuite bath. Seashell Sanctuary is in a constant state of renovation and we are continuously making improvements. Some of the latest improvements are: Wood ceilings in the master bedroom, master bathroom and the kitchen. Secured, high speed internet, improved cable TV, new washer and dryer, new dishwasher, multiple smart TVs. In 2021 we added a new porch swing and new refrigerator to the “Blue Whelk” side and the “Abalone” side got a new refrigerator in 2023. Both sides received new outdoor furniture in 2023. All of the TVs are flat screens. The living room now has a 55 inch, the master has a 48 inch and the other bedrooms have 40” TVs so that you don't have to miss the big game while you are at the beach. Outdoor furniture, on the over-sized deck, will allow you to sit in comfort while enjoying your breakfast in the morning, coffee in the afternoon, and wine in the evening, all while listening to the music of the waves crashing against the sandy shore and watching the children swimming in one of the beautiful, tropically landscaped pools.

This is now our new favorite place to stay at The Plantation. We have been coming to The Plantation for over 10 years, and our 1st time stay here, and we loved it. The kitchen was well stocked and plenty of room. The beds were all comfortable no complaints from anyone. We had a couple of questions and Darryl was fast to respond. We cannot wait to come back next year.

It was a wonderful property. Well equipped kitchen and beach gear. Location was outstanding for both the beach and pool. Only complaint is TV in third bedroom didn’t work but who needs a TV with such beautiful views. It was clean and quiet. Air conditioning also worked great and is a must in the summer months. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful

We could not have asked for anything more. We have stayed at this location near Ft Morgan for several years but first time at this property. We have wanted to stay at this property for a long time, it usually is booked the week we come. It was perfect, I can see why it is always booked. We can’t wait to come back next year.

Impressive House with Plenty of Room

This was an impressive house with plenty of room. Right across from the pool and the boardwalk to the beach. House was very clean and organized. The owners had plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys for the little ones. Will absolutely stay here again.

Exceeded Expectations!

We were delightfully pleased with our stay at the Seashell Sanctuary! The unit is very well maintained! The beds were comfy & shower pressure was on point. The access to the amenities was great - we def took advantage of the gym, sauna, indoor pool & hot tub. This was our first time vacationing to the gulf coast & the beach did not disappoint. My only complaint is that we did not have more time to stay. Thank you to Darryl and wife for being outstanding hosts! We look forward to booking again soon!

Perfect family getaway

My husband and I stayed here with our 2 children. The property was easy to access, close to the pool, and close to the beach. The decor is beautiful. There is storage on the ground level with chairs, floats, and sand toys. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything needed to cook. We will definitely be back.

Perfect location, fantastic host!

This property is just beautiful. The design and furnishings are lovely, and every room reminds you you're on vacation! The proximity to the beach is perfect. Absolutely no trouble running back to the house if you've forgotten something. The beach is gorgeous, with water clean enough that you can see the fish several feet under, and small waves that are perfect for children. We had some bug issues, which is totally understandable given that the news keeps saying bugs have been really bad this summer. However, what I want to highlight is that Darryl (host) was on the phone with me within 10 minutes of my sending him a message Saturday night, and he had someone out to spray for bugs on Monday morning. He is such a nice guy, and truly cares about his property and guests' experience. All in all, no complaints and we'd happily stay here again!

2023 Seashell Sanctuary A

Loved the property! It was the perfect size to accommodate our family. The kitchen was well stocked with items necessary to cook any meal while we were there. Loved the griddle! Probably used it each time when cooking a meal. The property is conveniently located to available amenities and it was just a short walk to the beach. Only a short drive to Golf Shores for a large selections of eating establishments and shopping. For family enjoyment The Fort Morgan area was not as crowded as other beaches. Our family enjoyed the beach, multiple property pools, great restaurants, observing the Blue Angels Practice Session in Pensacola FL, Brandon Styles Theater in Foley AL, and the Blacksmith Experience in Robertsdale AL. Fabulous family vacation!!

The reviews capture the stay. Our highlights with a family of 4 (two children ages 7 and 4). - perfect access to the beach and two outdoor swimming pools. - kitchen and outdoor seating provided us with comfortable, efficient dining. - convenient and hassle free communication prior to arriving, during check in, and during stay. - appreciated being close but far enough away from gulf shores main drag and also close to Fort Morgan and fairy. We would return and recommend to our friends.
