About this property

Spacious Beach Home, Easy Walk to the Sand, Private Gas Grill and Balcony!

The sugar-white sand and gentle Gulf waters are just steps away from the front door of Bet's Kept Secret, a lovely three-bedroom vacation home along the beaches of Coastal Alabama. This Fort Morgan, Alabama vacation home offers ample space for 10 vacationers.

Enjoy covered parking on the first floor of this elevated home. The second floor, or main level of the house, features a large deck serving up partial views of the Gulf of Mexico. This will quickly become your favorite place to unwind and spend time with your friends or family members. The kitchen comes fully-equipped with upscale, stainless steel appliances and all of the cookware needed to create a savory meal at home. Gather around the dining room table and enjoy your breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Take a short walk across the street to the beach and soak up rays of sunshine while you recline in the sand. When you need to cool off, go for a swim in the mild gulf waters. Before heading out to explore the coast of Alabama, visit our Gulf Coast Blog for a list of popular restaurants, shops, golf courses and more. Dine on fresh seafood or charter a fishing boat and catch your own dinner in the Gulf of Mexico. Play a friendly game of golf on one of the nearby courses or ride the zip line in Gulf Shores.

Amazing for a family vacation

My family stayed down here for a week in June of 2014 and we loved every minute of it! The house was beautiful, the closeness to the beach was great, and the area was absolutely amazing. The drive into town was quite a long one but worth it. I highly recommend this house to anyone and everyone who would want to visit fort morgan

Wonderful!

We loved our stay at Mim's Whim. The house was just as pictured and had everything we needed. Miriam was more than attentive before and during our stay. The house is perfectly located close to the beach. We loved having the opportunity to make family memories at Mim's Whim. I would highly recommend staying at Mim's Whim.

Loved Mim's Whim

We loved this house. Very short walk to the beach. Drive to town wasn't bad. We managed to do everything we wanted to do. Dauphin Island was a neat place to visit. Planning on staying at Mim's Whim in the future.

First annual summer getaway

My family had a wonderful time staying at Mim's Whim. The owners are awesome and very attentive to our needs. The home is beautiful and had everything you could possible need for the week except for food. Probably the nicest home in the area. Hopefully we will return next year.

Winter Getaway

We spent Jan & Feb at Mim's Whim and found it to be exactly as described. The house was comfortably furnished and the kitchen well stocked. The beach was not crowded and just a short walk across the street. The owners were great to deal with when problems arose. Would definately recommend this property.

Exceptional week!!!!!

I would like to you for allowing us to stay in your house for a great week. It was even better than described on the site. Everything was terrific, from the beach to the fully stocked kitchen, nice bathroom linens and probably one of the best beds we have ever slept in away from our own. Definately a first class vacation spot. We will be back!!!!

Great Vacation!

We had a wonderful vacation at Mim's Whim! The house was beautifully decorated and created an environment of a true "home away from home" feeling. The neighborhood was friendly, safe and yet spacey enough to feel like you have your own piece of "tropical heaven". I plan to use every year! Sandy M.

Mims Whim

My family and I just returned from our stay at Mins Whim. We had the best time, and this house is perfect! Amazing views, on the beach, lots of room, and the owners are amazing to work with! The house was even better in person; the pictures don't do it justice! So clean and very warm and inviting. We felt right at home! Would not hesitate to stay again and plan to do so!

Good times at Mim's Whim!

Perfect vacation at Mim's Whim. The porch is ideal...esp. if you have children. Good view of the beach and to listen to the waves. Beds are super comfortable! Recommend shopping at Wal-Mart and Publix and cooking in. Kitchen is stocked with pots, pans and dishes. Highly recommend!

incredible bang for the buck!

Mim's Whim is where you want to stay if you want all the amenities of the larger beachfront homes without the price. The home is gorgeously decorated and fully stocked with everything you'll need to make a great vacation complete. It has an excellent floorplan and is all on one level which is very convenient. Only steps from the beach, we never had to pack up a cooler and lug it to the shore. For the fishermen, it is only 2 miles to the boat launch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return again.

Excellent Stay

Mims Whimm was excellent. The house was awesome and clean. Beds were very comfortable. The box of beach toys and chairs were a plus as we didn't have to pack this stuff! We left our canopy up all week on beach and didn't have to worry about anyone bothering it. The owners of the house were very nice and personally emailed us to check on our stay, both upon arrival and after we made it back home. When we go to gulf shores again we will be staying here!
