Charming 4 bedroom, 2 bath raised cottage just steps from the Gulf of Mexico. Witness amazing sunsets and gulf views from the deck, with covered and uncovered areas. Fort Morgan has sugar white beaches and blue-green water.

Awesome host. Accurate description, basic bedrooms, tight bathrooms, great kitchen and living room in one, great partially covered porch and ground level covered area each w tables. That corresponds to where we spent most of our time/what was most important to us. Lots of kitchen equipment, enough plates for all guests and visitors. Slow cooker, tall pot, food processor, blender, storage containers etc all you need to cook up stuff for the family week. That limits driving around as you are a bit away from the main drag.

This is our second stay at this location and we absolutely love it. Close proximity to the beach, lots of beach toys/items on site, the outside shower is a winner along with the extra fridge in the storage downstairs. We will be back!

Perfect Stay

We stayed for 6 weeks and our stay could not have been any better. The owners were great. Very responsive with any questions we had. The location, just across the street from the Gulf, was outstanding. We will definately stay again when visiting the Gulf Shores.

We had a wonderful time. The cottage was well stocked and well maintained. There was plenty of room for all. We loved the location and beach access. Far enough away from Gulf shores to enjoy the peace and quiet but close enough if you want to go into the area to eat, shop, or hang out. The host was great, reached out prior to our dates, and we spoke during our stay when i had a question and the day we left. For me and my family it was 10/10 we are already looking at dates to reserve next year!

Great beach cottage for family getaway

We enjoyed the 2nd row cottage with easy access to the beach. The wraparound porch is wonderful and spent a lot of time out there admiring the gulf views. There is a Huge kitchen island for everyone to gather around for meals. The AC worked perfectly even in 100 degree heat. We really enjoyed our stay.
