About this property

Fort Sun, East. Gorgeous 7BR Beachfront. Extra fridges. Private Pool! Sleeps 24.

Fort Sun, East Unit
2398 Ponce de Leon

Fort Sun! Super fun! And a great value too, especially for such a big, BEACHFRONT, place, with a private pool per side.

Located on Fort Morgan, Fort Sun 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. Plus, as an added bonus, our Fort Morgan vacation homes are not currently subject to the same restrictions on setting up umbrellas and other amenities overnight as those in Gulf Shores itself.

2x 7BR 5.5BA. Beachfront duplex. Extra fridges. Pool! Accommodates 24, 48 in both sides! This listing is for one side, the EAST unit.

BRAND NEW VIRTUAL TOUR POSTED for both sides. Check it out. Latest art is the virtual tour.

This listing is for ONE side, the EAST side, of a 2x7BR duplex. Nice big beach. Sleeps 24 per side. Private pool PER SIDE, sheltered under the home. No sharing with the other side. HUGE wide open beach area! You can also stay in the EAST side, or both sides together.

Located beachfront in Fort Morgan. Sleep a whole crew. Save! Fort Morgan is a deal with 7% less taxes and more affordable rates. Same great beaches as Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. Less $ and less people! Also, less rules! You CAN leave your stuff out overnight / longer and not worry about the Leave Only Footprints beach patrols in GSOB which WILL take your stuff never to be seen again (of course, leaving anything is subject to some risk, but its guaranteed to be gone in GS or OB!).

7BR 5.5BA. Beachfront duplex. Extra fridges. Pool! Accommodates 24, 48 in both sides!

Fort Sun sleeps 24 people on each side. Fort Sun East has 7 Bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms (5 of which are FULL baths!). The unit is well accommodated, and high accommodating:

BEDDING:
3rd Floor N Bedroom 2 Queens
3rd Floor Middle Bedroom: Twin over Full Bunk + Twin Bunk
3rd Floor S Bedroom: King
4th Floor N Bedroom A: Queen
4th Floor N Bedroom B: 2 Fulls
4th Floor S Bedroom A: King
4th Floor S Bedroom B: 2 Fulls

Living Room Queen Sleeper Sofa

*Please note Bedrooms with A/B are suites, with bedrooms B being connected to and only accessible through A respectively.

POOL? You Bet!
Private pool PER SIDE, sheltered under the home. No sharing with the other side. HUGE wide open beach area! The pool is open all year, and is 16x16' L-Shape, 3-4' deep.

The homes share a deck that takes you down to the expansive white sand beach. Plenty of room for beach volleyball or whatever moves your group!

A secure, interconnecting doorway allows large groups to use both sides of this lovely home to host up to 48 people!

PARKING
There is available onsite parking for at least 4 cars per side. Good stackers can pull off more. Bad stackers? Well, not so much!

WIFI/INTERNET
YES! We have an awesome Eero mesh network to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home!? That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like? It is generally solid and ran > 100Mb down the last test--sufficient for several simultaneous video conference sessions for remote work and education. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests "troubleshooting" it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though, and likely better since its close in and new construction!

SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, ETC ETC
As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a "starter supply" of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, grills are not provided, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have drip coffee makers and most now have Keurigs as well.

No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

About the host

Hosted by Rick Goldsworthy

Host profile image
Bama Beach Houses has some of the best, most highly reviewed homes on the beach in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Fort Morgan. Respected for guest experience, excellent communications and support.

Rick Goldsworthy, the owner... 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!

Fort Sun. Great place. Nice pricepoint. Private pool PER SIDE, yet the cost benefits of a duplex! Big beach. Big place. Not so big price. Fort Morgan is more chill, a laidback vibe. Leave your chairs on the beach, carry a beverage, no worries. Setup volleyball? You bet. Fort Sun is the perfect place for folks looking for beachfront chill for a large group, and a pricepoint markedly lower than similar homes in the Gulf Shores or Orange Beach area. Heck, 10% lower taxes, so you are sticking it to the man a litte too, and every little bit helps, right?! But, again, Beach Castle is by no means little. Big place. Great space. Check her out. You will, like many MANY of my guests, end up coming back year over year over year...

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 they chose this property

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 this one? BIG beach. White sands. Pristine. Lots of space to spread out. Great layout. Private pool (per side). And a great value since taxes much lower here!

What makes this property unique

If you want a lot of beach space, and the beach to be awesome white sands, this is the place. Fort Sun has enough room for a couple volleyball sets if you so desire, and you can leave them up out here because it is not subject to the GSOB rules that require you to bring everything back in each day. Tents anyone?! Come have fun in the sun!
