Book your Vacation now! Less than 100 yards walking distance to the beach

'Busy Doin' Nothin' is located within a single family residential neighborhood- none of the crowded beaches, traffic, noise, etc. associated with some areas on the Gulf coast.

Restaurants and convenience stores located nearby. At last count, 13 golf courses in the area, Bon Secure National Wildlife Refuge, the Mobile Bay Ferry, Fort Morgan Historic Site, Alabama Birding Trail are all close by. For those that desire to 'shop 'til you drop', the Rivera Centre contains in excess of 100 factory outlet stores and is located in nearby Foley (approximately 10 miles north of Gulf Shores).

The world's most beautiful beach is located approximately 100 yards from your front door. The home has a wagon for your use in carrying necessary beach supplies, chairs, etc.- most of which are available at the home for your use. Because the home is located on the Fort Morgan Peninsula, Mobile Bay is directly north of the home, less than a 1/4 mile away, and offers fishing, crabbing, shrimping, etc. The home has crab traps available for your use-you will need to bring your own fishing equipment. A fishing pier is located on the Fort Morgan Historic Site and is available for your use at a nominal charge, and well as the public boat launch.

Alcohol is allowed on our beaches. As are pets. Please Contact me for any questions Regarding my Property- TINA

We enjoyed our stay very much. Nice and close to the beach (2 minute walk). The only thing that would keep us from renting this property again is the condition of the stairs. If they get replaced we will happily sign up for next year.

The location was perfect — very close to the beach and easy to get around. Communication with the hosts was smooth and timely.The kitchen had what we needed for basic cooking. Like most rentals, the skillet wasn’t great, but that’s pretty common. Dishes and utensils were a mix of styles, but there was enough for our stay.The bedrooms were comfortable, though the carpets are older and a bit worn in spots. If you’re bringing dogs, I recommend bringing a gate or board to block off the deck stairs.Overall, the house had plenty of room and worked out perfectly for our short visit. We’d definitely stay here again!

Fantastic Location with Plenty of Room!

This property has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The living area is huge! It has a large kitchen, packed with everything you need and plenty of space in the dining room. The location is so convenient. Walk by a few houses and you're on the Gulf of America beach. This section of the beach is actually dog friendly (as is the property)! Our little Ewokian (Havanese/Pomeranian) puppy loved the beach! The Tacky Jack seafood restaurant is a few minutes away and not far from Fort Morgan Historical Site (all dog friendly). The Fort Morgan area is so secluded from the tourists and is so quiet, yet close enough to drive to Gulf Shores for souvenirs and shopping. We'll be back!

Family vacation

This was our first time in the Gulf Shores area. We had a wonderful family vacation with all of our family. The location was perfect, 20 minutes outside of Gulf Shores/Orange Beach. We loved that we were a short walk to the beach and that we were in a quiet residential neighborhood. The house was a good size for our family. The kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed to cook meals. We loved having the washer and dryer. We definitely would stay here again when we are in the Gulf Shores area. We encountered no problems while we were there.
