The one thing Beach Shack isn't is a Shack! This gorgeous cottage has just undergone a total transformation and you will not believe your eyes. The first thing you'll notice is the brand new, expansive decking that runs the entire width of the house. Imagine yourself sitting right there at the water's edge enjoying that morning coffee or evening cocktail. Plenty of high-end deck furniture so there is comfortable seating for all. There's even a bar height table and chairs in the event you choose to dine al fresco. Pro-Tip: Listen for the roar of the Blue Angels. You'll have a front row seat as these skillful pilots practice their maneuvers and formations along the coastline.
The Space
But the view doesn't stop at the deck! Step inside to the fresh, new living room with all new windows, flooring and furniture. This is the perfect spot for TV watching, hanging out or gazing at the phenomenal view just outside. You'll find a large dining table with seating for 6 and the counter provides additional seating for 5 so your entire group can dine at the same time.
The kitchen is a showstopper with designer granite, stainless appliances and a farmhouse sink. You'll really appreciate the finishing touches that Beach Shack provides for those nights when you choose to dine in.
Beach Shack offers 3 bedrooms. There is a King bedroom with a private bath (stand up shower) and a second King Room that shares the hall bath (tub/shower combination) with the bunk room. The bunk room contains a Full over Full bunk bed. There is also a sleeper sofa that provides additional sleeping space.
Main floor: King bedroom w/ en suite; King bedroom; Full/Full bunk bedroom; 1 sleeper sofas; Hall Bath

Fort Morgan
Located a scenic 15 miles from Gulf Shores, you'll find everything you need close at hand. Dollar General and Sassy Bass Market are just a few miles away and have all the basics you might need. There are several restaurants nearby offering a variety of tasty dishes. Tacky Jack's, Sassy Bass (2 locations), Coast and brand-new Jesse's (opening soon) to name a few. Some venues even offer live, local entertainment.
Fort Morgan fishing pier is now open, and anglers will have access to convenient inshore fishing and the abundant species locally available.
Be sure and visit nearby Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge with over 7,000 acres of coastal habit. You'll be able to hike through the preserve and observe local flora and fauna. There are 4 trails, varying in size and terrain, and you'll definitely want to make time to visit this natural oasis.

Our stay with our infant son and dog was great! Location and beach access is exactly what we needed. This property provided what we were looking for in a week away!

Needs attention to flooring, coffee maker, and dishwasher. We would stay here again if those things were addressed. Location to beach is excellent and view wonderful.

Thank you Susan for the kind words! The floors are scheduled to be repaired at the end of this month. After review, we did not know about any issues with the coffee maker and dishwasher. We would have been more than happy to have that looked at. We hope to see you again if your future vacation plans include Gulf Shores or Fort Morgan!
Great beach view and convenient to a few restaurants.

The Beach Shack was just right for our family vacation. We loved the house-it was just the right size for us, especially the open living area, and kitchen was very well stocked. Loved have direct access to the beach and also enjoyed the front deck. It was peaceful there, even for a holiday weekend. Will definitely look in to renting the Beach Shack again!

The location of the house was great, as it jets out farther than the houses around it. The covered porch was very nice, as was the kitchen and hallway bathroom. There were quite a few pieces of floor missing from the living room, but there were rugs covering most of low spots. The couch had some pet hair on it, but nothing too concerning. The bedrooms are all very small, with little space to walk around the bed and no closets in any of the rooms. We made it work and had a great vacation!

We appreciate your feedback Tiffany! We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your visit! We could not agree more about the great covered porch! We will definitely pass along the feedback about the dog hair to the cleaning company so they can pay better attention to that. The home is very popular and busy this time of year but we do have plans to replace the floors in the off season! We just added some lovely new area rugs. The bedrooms are on the smaller side but we have found the demand out there is for king sized beds instead of queens for sleeping comfort over space. It was our pleasure hosting you and we would welcome you back anytime.

The place was clean. The view was amazing so close to the water. We took our pet and it was only steps to be on the beach. Great beach house wish I could book it for November but it’s already booked. But would highly recommend. The host was great if we needed anything. Great place to relax on the Gulf of America.

Reviewer Comments:
We had great weather and a lovely week. It was nice to have a house so close to the beach! The house is quite worn with flooring needing to be repaired and the air needing to be at a certain temperature that was not quite cold enough for us, not good water pressure in the kitchen sink, but all in all we had a good week and we got our money's worth. Just for those who might need to know and you can't tell from the pics- the front beachside master bedroom bath is extremely small with tiny shower and no counter top so not appropriate for larger people and the front beachside bedroom has a nice big bed but hardly any room to get around to the other side- just super tiny. One last thing was dog hair on the living room furniture but we covered them with extra sheets and blankets and made things work! We did not bother the company with complaints because we could make it work and they were nice and helpful.

We appreciate your feedback Robyn. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your visit. The AC Setting is a recommendation to keep the unit running as efficiently as possible. It is certainly ok to drop it a couple of degrees for your comfort. We realize the bedrooms are not super spacious but the demand is out there for king beds so the home has king beds instead of queens. We will certainly pass along your feedback to the cleaning company about the dog hair. We hope that you enjoyed the amazing location and views! It was our pleasure hosting you. Thanks for staying with us.

Hi Presslie and thanks for the kind words. We sure do hope you'll plan a return visit very soon.
The house was perfectly located on the beach. We spent most of our time on the patio enjoying the view. The beach was quiet, family friendly and dog friendly. We can’t wait to stay there again!

The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. The location right on the beach was wonderful. So, of course, the views were amazing whether inside the house or sitting out in the covered deck. We loved it, just the thing we were looking for…a beautiful beach getaway.
