Perfect, beachfront pet friendly 5 bedroom home, close to waters

Beachfront, 5 bed/4.5 bath, 3 master suites, sleeps 16, unparalleled ocean views
Sandy Paws is a luxury 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath- pet friendly beach front home completely renovated in 2021. The new renovation features custom cabinets, granite countertop, stainless steel appliances, all new plank flooring, larger windows, and new beds/furniture. The large kitchen and living room are connected to the main level patio giving you access to panoramic ocean views throughout. We have 3 "master bedrooms" with king beds, including a huge top floor master suite with private balcony, king bed and queen sleeper sofa. We have 11 beds total, 3 sets of twin bunks, 1 full, 1 sofa queen pullout, and 3 king beds. The location is at mile marker 2 in Fort Morgan but still just a short drive to Gulf Shores for more activities and dining. Enjoy the coastline from any of the 3 decks or simply walk downstairs and you are on the beach. One of the closest homes to the Gulf of Mexico's edge along the entire peninsula. Your family or group will vacation in style at "Sandy Paws", the perfect beach front vacation rental. Rentals are on a weekly basis, Saturday to Saturday, unless the calendar is already broken up or requested time is approved by the homeowner. Also, if this is perhaps too large of a house we would like to recommend "Doodles and dunes ", which is a 4bed, 3 bath, plus a heated pool , just across the street from Sandy Paws. If you need more space and both homes , contact owner for availability. The vrbo link is https://www.vrbo.com/3189692. Also, please purchase travel insurance upon checkout , we don't require it, but strongly recommend it, especially during hurricane season. Thank you!

Great beach house directly on the water!

We really enjoyed our stay in this 5 bedroom home. We had some issues with the AC, but Tiffany had it fixed for us and she made it right for us financially. Couch needs to be replaced and the living chairs have seen better days too, but the beds were very comfortable (that’s why 4/5 for cleanliness). The decks are amazing and the swing on the beach is really something we enjoyed as well! We do plan on returning next year!

Memories made!!

Staying at Sandy Paws was the best choice for us. The dog them was adorable. The home was clean and steps from the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with numerous items to make cooking easier. We spent most our time on the beach and on the decks watching the dolphins swim by. Looking into staying again next year!

Great Beach House!

The house was perfect for us and our extended family. You can’t beat the oceanfront view & easy access to the beach! We had some minor issues, but the owner was very responsive and did her best to address them during our stay. We plan on staying here again; loved it!

March break

Lovely location right on the beach. Not a lot of people so we had the beach to ourself. Had a couple of rainy days with storms which was actually nice. Fun to watch the sea and read a book in the comfy living room. Kitchen was nicely stocked. Beds were comfortable and the two extra decks were a bonus. The most popular thing was the swing under the house. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Best Beach House

This is my favorite beach house. It is right on the beach, first row, with a 180 degree beach view. It has a great deck with some cover for shade. The kitchen was well appointed and well supplied. The furniture was comfortable. And it is dog friendly.

Perfect beach vacation

We had a wonderful week at Sandy Paws! The house is beautiful and right on the beach! We had plenty of room for our whole family and the house had everything we needed. The kids loved the close proximity to the beach and so did we. We loved the quiet area with no high rises or condos. I think will definitely be back!!

Wow - Just Wow

Every other year, my family of 6 or 7 adults and 5 children treat ourselves to an oceanfront beach vacation. As Midwestern dwellers, we look forward to it all year. Sandy Paws was everything we could have asked for! The home is just beautiful - spacious and the bedrooms are way above what you normally encounter; big, luxurious, large bathrooms, quality furniture that is also pretty. The home has multiple oceanfront decks and we spent a lot of time on the main floor deck enjoying the sights and sounds from the beach. And speaking of beach, it is literally just a few steps to the water and the sand is soft, white and not hot to walk on! Tiffany's communication throughout was great, never leaving me waiting long for a reply. We think this place is a gem. If you're looking for a rental that makes you feel spoiled and out of the hustle and bustle of touristy areas - this is the one!
