About this property
🥳 Early Bird Sale. First 2! Gulf & Golf East! Beachfront. Resort! 7 Pools. Tennis. Golf.
Gulf & Golf at the Plantation, East Unit 805 Plantation Road, #13a, Fort Morgan, Alabama
5BR 4.5BA Beachfront duplex. GREAT location in resort with SEVEN pools. Beachfront. Lots of resort amenities. Golf. Tennis. More! See below!
This listing is for the East side unit of Gulf & Golf at the Plantation. One side perfect for your group? Then this East side of Gulf & Golf at the Plantation (5BR) may be just what you need!
Or, check out Gulf & Golf at the Plantation's West side unit (5BR) — same great layout, same bedding, sleeps the same number, and same great amenities, so if one isn't available, grab the other--you can't go wrong! Or.... Go BIG and snag Gulf & Golf at the Plantation's East & West sides together in one listing. That's 10 BR, with hotel-style secure connecting door!
PLUS... Lower lodging taxes! Save 10% over a West Beach rental, right off the top--even though it's the same sugary sand beach!
Beachfront luxury, all the amenities of a private home AND of the resort community, for a lot less. Gulf & Golf! 5BR Sleeps 22. Right on the Beach. Resort Community! Pools, Tennis.
Don't forget, peak season is in swing and during peak season, we book Saturday to Saturday. So, if you're looking and don't see any availability, check to see if your stay duration falls under those parameters as that usually is the problem :) But, as always, feel free to reach out as we are always happy to help!
Each side of Gulf & Gulf includes 5 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths. Two of the bedrooms on each side are master suites. Each bedroom has a view of the Gulf of Mexico and a balcony overlooking the gulf or the golf course.
Each side accommodates 22, with 2400 square feet
BEDDING: Main Floor Bedroom: King + Twin over Full Bunk 3rd Floor N Bedroom: 2 Fulls 3rd Floor N Middle Bedroom: Full over Full Bunk + Twin 3rd Floor S Middle Bedroom: Queen 3rd Floor S Bedroom: King + Twin Bunk
Main Floor Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa (just in case!)
This listing is for one side; however, we own both! Stay in both sides of Gulf & Golf, and its a 10 BR accommodating up to 44. Inquire about taking the whole place!
Each kitchen is fully equipped including a dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal, TWO fridges, and two icemakers.
Other great features include a sundeck area and covered porch, central air/heat, washer/dryer, televisions, cable, DVD players, and telephone service with free long distance. Towel service is available. There are community grills right across from the home.
Please note: this home is absolutely beachfront. It is located right on the gulf, with nothing between you and the gulf except the sand dunes. However, as with many areas on the gulf, you CANNOT walk directly from the back of this home to the water because of the protected dunes. They serve a very important role in protecting the homes, and harboring wildlife, and walking over them is not allowed as it breaks them down. However, there is a nice wide boardwalk right off our little private cul de sac (in fact, right by the closest of the pools which is ALSO right on our cul de sac, 2 homes over, so "right there"). This short boardwalk takes you directly to the beach/water, and, as a bonus, is great for folks who may have mobility concerns or may be lugging stuff in wagons or what have you! :-)

PLANTATION RESORT. AMENITIES GALORE! The “Gulf and Golf” is located in the Plantation resort, next to the beautiful 18 hole Kiva Dunes Championship Golf Course. Approximately 12 miles west of Gulf Shores on Fort Morgan Parkway at Gulf Shores Plantation. Same great white sand beaches! Wonderful amenities, and at a great rate!
Kiva Grill and Sassy Bass Island Grill are both in the resort, and less than a half mile walk from this beachfront unit! Food, drink. Ultra convenient!
Amenities on the Plantation grounds include 1 indoor and 6 outdoor swimming pools, whirlpool, lighted tennis courts, basketball court, putting green, game rooms, volleyball, secluded beach, and cabanas. What all is presently available? Let's look!
6 Outdoor Pools Indoor Pool Indoor/Outdoor Hot Tubs Fitness Center Sauna/Steam Rooms 7 Lighted Tennis Courts Shuffleboard Court Basketball Court Volleyball Courts Game Room Horseshoe Pits Outdoor BBQ Grills/Picnic Tables Umbrella/Beach Chair Rentals Beach Store/Coffee Bar Onsite Restaurant - Sassy Bass Island Grill Laundry Facilities Gated Community 24/7 Security Adjacent to Kiva Dunes Golf Course ** Resort wide amenities subject to change, temporary or permanent closure, and are not guaranteed. Sorry!
Located on Fort Morgan, Gulf & Golf is close to many restaurants, golf courses, and other things to do, feels away from it all (but is only a short drive to all the hubbub on Gulf Shores itself), and is often a more cost-efficient choice for those who seek something a little more laid back.
We offer HUGE discounts for month-long winter stays (up to 80%), a 7 for the price of 6 night special many times of the year (it is already factored into weekly pricing on VRBO!), and if you have a special request, e.g., for a non-Saturday check-in, we are happy to consider it. Please note, generally stays must be Saturday to Saturday during the summer--G&G is just way to popular and busy then to make exceptions. Sorry!
How can I help you? Looking forward to hosting you family or group!

This was a great property if you have several families coming together, each needing their own space. Everyone was able to have privacy, but then enjoy the amenities together. We had a wonderful time!

🥳 Wonderful, Donna! You put your finger on exactly what makes Gulf & Golf East shine for a multi-family trip — everyone gets their own space and privacy, but then you all come together for the amenities and the fun. Together when you want, apart when you need it. That's the sweet spot for group travel! So glad you had a wonderful time. Thank you for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for the home while it's fresh? Or ready to gather the families for a return? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 🏖️
We enjoyed every moment of our stay. It was quiet, relaxing, beautiful, comfortable, and clean. We had convenient access to the beach, the pools, and numerous recreational activities. The groceries were a short drive away, if you absolutely needed a break from the beach there were plenty of options for local entertainment. We usually vacationed in Destin, but this was so much less crowded! A definite win for our family!

🥳 Love it, Bambi! "Enjoyed every moment" — that's exactly what we're going for at Gulf & Golf East! Quiet, relaxing, beautiful, comfortable, AND clean... you hit every note. And I especially love that you made the switch from Destin and found us so much less crowded — that's the Fort Morgan secret! Same gorgeous gulf, way more room to breathe. A definite win indeed! Thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for the home while it's fresh? Or ready to trade Destin for a return to Gulf & Golf? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 😎
Enjoyed this home. Great location right on beach. Nice swimming pools. Nicely stocked kitchen & 2 refrigerators was a nice bonus.House was clean.AC seemed to freeze up at times with excessive condensation on air vents. Water dripped on beds and floor. This was a minor issue. Also leak above one of doors during hard rain and a rotten board on floor of one bedroom. None of these issues impacted our stay but wanted to point them out.Would definitely stay in this home again!

😎 Awesome, Rick! So glad you enjoyed Gulf & Golf East — right on the beach, the pools, that stocked kitchen with the two fridges (a real group-trip lifesaver!). And thank you for flagging the AC condensation, the door leak in the hard rain, and that soft board — I relayed all of it to my gang on the ground. Really sorry I didn't see a note come through during your stay, though; we'd have hopped right on it! Always sing out in the moment and we'll get after it. So glad none of it slowed you down, and that you'd stay again! Thank you so much for the review! ⭐️ Any other suggestions for Gulf & Golf? Or ready to set up a return? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 🏖️
We loved our stay here! Access to the resort amenities was amazing and the oceanfront view was stunning! The pools were cold, but the kids still swam and we utilized the indoor pool as well. House was clean and as described & we had easy communication with the hosts. We would stay here again if we decide to come back to the area.

Loved our time at Gulf and Golf!
We enjoyed our stay at the beach. We enjoyed watching the waves from the deck! Also the Sun rise and sunset are both beautiful! The bed was very nice and comfortable! The two problems we had, hvac on main floor didn't work on our arrival and birds in the vent, were both handled quickly and without interruption of our stay. Great job! Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your home and for your hospitality!

Had another great trip to Gulf & Golf at the Plantation! Love it out there. We are working on reserving BOTH sides next year as we expand! Thank you so much for having us!
House was ok just not hardly worth the amount paid

🥳 Hi Loyd! Thanks for the great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review. We’re glad you enjoyed Gulf & Golf East — the spacious layout, beachfront vibes, and Plantation resort amenities (including the indoor pool for sideways weather) are all designed for relaxing, fun Gulf Shores getaways. 🏖️💦
We were a bit surprised to see a star lost for pricing, as this home is often highlighted for exceptional value compared to similar beachfront homes in the area. Since we didn’t hear from you during or after your stay, we’d love to know what you were comparing or what could have made your visit even better.
For a 5-bedroom beachfront home with private pool, decks, and all amenities, the nightly cost per bedroom is markedly less than a standard hotel room off the beach. VRBO’s service fees and optional insurance do add considerably to the cost, but the home itself remains a true value — and you even scored a rare complimentary night, making it an even better deal! 😉
We’d love to hear any specifics about what could improve your stay — feedback from all our guests helps us keep elevating the experience. We reached out multiple times during and after your stay, including via VRBO, email, and text (we try to be super easy to contact!)… we’re always just a message away!
We hope you’ll consider returning here or one of our other great places — GG books fast, and many other guests know it’s one of the best values on the beach. We’d be delighted to host you again and make your next visit truly 5-star! 😎
This was a great place for 8 adults, 3 kids, 1 baby. We all had plenty of space. The beds were all super comfortable. Views of the beach were perfect and the property itself is extremely nice. We would love to come back again!

Instructional designer. Behavior change researcher. Father of 3. Teacher. Soccer coach. Hoosier. I'm interested in why people do the things they do, what we can do to change those things so that folks live happier and healthier lives, and how technology can help. Plus, well, I love Gulf Shores!
My wife's family have traveled to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Alabama for decades. I became a tag along in the late 1990s, so a Gulf Shores guy by marriage. One thing led to another and we ended up a several large, family-friendly, large group friendly, places along the Gulf. Why I like G&G? The Plantation is a great resort community. You get there, and you never have to leave, and yet its only 15 minutes back to Walmart, King Neptunes, and the rest of the Gulf Shores hubbub. The beach? Same beach as the main West Beach drag. In fact, if you are a runner, especially a beach runner, you can run the sands from G&G to West Beach and back. It's only about a mile or so past the end of West Beach Blvd on the sands. You just can't get there in a car because the nice nature preserve is in the between. Great place to stay, with super amenities both in the unit and around the resort.
Location. Location. Location. Right on the beach, AND in a resort community with its own PGA-qualifier course AND multiple pools and hot tub! Much more... Gulf & Golf is well-accommodated, sleeps up to 32 when you stay in both sides (this listing is for the one side but we own both... contact us if you have smaller, or BIGGER, needs). G&G is a great choice if you want the benefits of a home right on the beach but also the niceties of a resort community--but without the condo/hotel vibe.
Plus. Lower lodging taxes! Save 10%!
