Serenity Sands Beach House - Great Location and Views!

Directly across the street from the Beach Boardwalk! 2 Bedrooms, 2 Full Bathrooms, 1 enclosed outdoor hot/cold shower, two decks for great views anytime! Sleeps 6+. Ready for your next vacation! Pet friendly, too!

The former Sylva Sands has new owners, a new name, and has been totally renovated! Wait until you see Serenity Sands Beach House now!

Located on the corner at 611 Morgantown Boulevard this peaceful and cozy beach cottage is literally just steps away from the Beach Access Boardwalk and the soft, white sand. Perfect for couples, small families, or group getaways. The home has free high-speed WIFI, cable TVs, and land-based telephone for local or emergency calls if needed. Looking to work and play? There are several great spots for working in the house with ample electrical sockets and USB ports to connect your laptop and phone. Sit at the kitchen table or grab a stool at the breakfast bar for great views while you work! There is also an electrical plug on the first floor screened deck if you need to work while enjoying the views outside. The Living Room has comfy seating, a wall-mounted Smart HDTV, a DVD player, and a stereo. Bring your own gaming system and games to plug into the TV. There is also a chest with board games, puzzles, and books for rainy days. The house has two bedrooms. The first-floor main bedroom includes a king-size bed, bedside lamps with USB ports and electrical plugs, a wall-mounted Smart HDTV, laundry area, full bathroom with tub/shower, and walk-in closet. The second-floor bedroom includes a king-size bed with a twin-size daybed and trundle, wall-mounted Smart HDTV, a full bathroom with tub/shower, and access to the second floor deck. Additional sleeping arrangements include a twin inflatable mattress and the downstairs sofa, if needed.

Serenity Sands provides great views with two decks. Enjoy fabulous sunrise and sunset views from the screened-in deck on the main level or from the covered upper deck. Both have comfy seating for guests.

The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, dishes, glassware, pots/pans, spacious countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar with USB ports and electrical plugs. Kitchen amenities include a microwave oven, blender, toaster, griddle, a Cuisinart coffeemaker, and Keurig coffee machine.

Beach/pool toys, chairs, beach cart as well as other games (like corn hole toss, badminton, and frisbee) are available to keep both the kids and adults entertained.

The quaint community of Morgantown in Fort Morgan is the perfect getaway for anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing, and peaceful vacation. There are two community swimming pools; one is fully renovated, heated in winter, and only steps away and the other is a short walk up the street. Tennis anyone? Two lighted courts are available, so bring your own rackets and tennis balls. A basketball goal is located on the courts, too. Love traveling with your dog? Leashed dogs are allowed on the beaches in Fort Morgan! We accept up to 2 dogs per stay.

There are several restaurants nearby in Fort Morgan: Jesse's on the Bay, Sassy Bass Amazin' Grill, Sassy Bass Chophouse, and Tacky Jack's. Kiva Dunes, The Peninsula, and The Beach Club also have restaurants open to the public. Need to pick up a few grocery items? Sassy Bass Marketplace and a Dollar General are nearby. You can also stock up on groceries for your trip on the drive in. Publix, Rouses, and Walmart are all conveniently located on Hwy 59.

Activities like golf, off-shore and on-shore fishing, kayaking, biking, and hiking are located nearby. Make sure you visit the historic Fort Morgan site or take the ferry to Dauphin Island for the day. Looking for more to do? It's just a short drive to Orange Beach, Gulf Shores State Park, Gulf Shores Zoo, Tanger Outlet Mall, The Wharf, and OWA (an amusement park and family entertainment destination in Foley), where you can shop, dine and play. Waterville (a family-friendly waterpark), The Track (an outdoor amusement park), putt-putt courses, The Gulf Bowl (bowling lanes), and Adventure Island (an amusement park in Orange Beach) are great options for things to do, too!

Our family had a wonderful 5-night stay at this beautiful beach house! The home had everything we could possibly want or need—spacious, well-stocked, and incredibly comfortable for our whole family. The views of the ocean were absolutely stunning, and we loved being in such a peaceful location—close enough to Gulf Shores, but far enough away to avoid the crowds. The pools were beautiful annd not crowded even on the 4th of July weekend. It was a perfect place to relax when we weren’t at the beach. The owner was so kind and helpful throughout our planning and our stay, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend and will absolutely stay again!Thank you for the memories

Great spot! Wonderful outside balcony and screened porch. All was as described. House was spotless. Good beds and shower. Community pool was awesome. Very easy walk to the beach. Fully stocked kitchen. Bonus—owner gives access to beach wagon, umbrellas. and chairs. Makes for a perfect time at the beach.

Perfect, the home has everything needed for your stay including dog bowls for your fur babies.Kitchen had everything to cook with very well stocked, the home was super clean, direct access to beach right across the street, shaded parking for your vehicle, two porches, one screened.Pool one house away, which was never crowded, shaded areas for those that want it ideal for families especially with families with smaller ones.Dog friendly neighborhood.Only drawback to staying at this beautiful home is you’ll wish you booked a longer stay.Also it’s decorated so cute, you’ll want to go home and redecorate your home.Beach was fantastic and owners provide everything needed for the beach plus a cart to haul it in.You’ll only need sunblock, and a cool drink.I’m not even home and trying to figure out when I can go back.Your only regret will be you didn’t book long enough.The owners are ever nice and even texted me inquiring if I needed anything during our stay.This is a quiet family area, so bring the pets and the kids plus their bikes, they’ll love it.Safe secure area, with nothing but friendly people to be prepared to wave back at everyone there.Also bring a camera, you’ll want pics of the area, it’s just too cute.

Worcester/Grimm Alabama vacation 2024

Our hosts were very accommodating. We were fearful of the upcoming weather for our drive to Alabama and I contacted the hosts and they were very helpful and made sure we were able to get in ahead of the weather. Any questions that we had were answered promptly. The house was perfect and very welcoming with everything we needed and more. We would definitely stay here again

Wonderful time!

This home was the most relaxing place I have stayed at when visiting the beach. The screened in porch and the games the owner provided was nice to have on the days it was raining. The extra beach supplies that were there was a definite live saver (we forgot our chairs at home lol). The home was clean and had everything that we would need for our stay. We will definitely book again!

It was great to spend some quality time with family in Morgantown. The house was conveniently located across from the boardwalk which takes you to a beautiful beach. Pools was great for the kids.

Perfect Family Getaway

We stayed at this property for a week with our family of five, including three kids ages 9, 11, and 13. The layout of the rental was perfect for us, and the available beds accommodated everyone comfortably. One of the highlights was the proximity to the beach and the pool—just a short walk away, which made it easy to enjoy the water anytime. We also loved the screened porch and the second-level balcony, both of which were great spots to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The property itself was clean and well-maintained, with everything in good working order. We also appreciated the nice and quiet neighborhood, which made our stay even more relaxing. We would definitely recommend this place for a family vacation!

Most relaxing vacation ever!

We had such a wonderful vacation here and look forward to coming back. The house is located in a perfect spot and is pup-friendly which was wonderful since we were traveling with our fur kids (pictures attached). Our bull terrier had fun making sand angels on the beach and as long as we had an umbrella for shade they were so happy being on the beach. We also visited the pool next door a couple of times and enjoyed reading and relaxing in the sun. Thank you for letting us borrow your home Debbie and Doug!

Everything was amazing! Doug and Debbie's house is beautiful and it was immaculate when we arrived. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need.

Amazing Property and Owners

We so enjoyed this house. It was perfect location, not too far from Gulf Shores/Orange Beach but far enough to put us out of the chaos. The house was clean and perfect for us. The access to the beach was right in front the house, which made it even better. The outside equipment (beach chairs, wagon, nets, etc.) were much better than what we have experienced in other beach rentals. On top of the amazing home and perfect location, the owners were superb. Debbie communicated with us prior to our stay and even after we got there to make sure everything was as we expected. When I communicated with her, she was very quick to respond. I highly recommend Serenity Sands Beach House!

Serenity Sands - Perfect Name

This was a perfect rental property for us. The house was sparkling clean and welcoming with all the extras that were available for us. (Games, beach toys and towels to name a few.) We had three adults and two children, and there was lots of extra room! Everything we needed was there - even two ways to brew our coffee. And the sweet welcome basket was so nice and very much appreciated. Debbie and Doug were great hosts, who checked often to make sure things were going well. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a spot away from the hustle and bustle of the busier nearby beaches.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this quaint beach cottage the moment we saw it. It is our home away from home. We also love the peacefulness and beauty of the Fort Morgan area.

What makes this property unique

Having coffee in the morning or hanging out at sunset on either of the two covered decks is priceless. Heading to the beach? The boardwalk is located right across the street!
