Our stay was truly perfect. Such a great home, phenomenal location and views! We spent probably 85% of our time on the deck, just soaking in every moment. Gail was such a pleasure to work with and this home is everything the listing says it is, and more! We’ll be back for sure!

Great Beach House

The house was just as it was described and shown in the pictures. We were surprised at how closse this house was to the beach and water, it was just a few steps from the deck to the beach and water.

So close to the beach!

The house was clean and well stocked with everything you would need. The views from the back deck were amazing and the house is only steps away from the beach which made for a perfect beach vacation for our family!

Beach access is amazing!

We loved our stay at surfs up and hope to stay again in the future! It was perfect for our family of four! We loved the beach access, having a washer and dryer, all the beach accessories and our kids loved the bunk beds! We enjoyed having a fully stocked kitchen and appreciated the amazing wall of windows overlooking the ocean! Host was very responsive and helpful! Check in was very easy!

Wonderful Views, Comfy Cottage

We absolutely loved the location! Having our own private beach access was priceless. The location is closer to Fort Morgan (the historical site) than many in the Gulf Shores area, which made it way less crowded than closer into Gulf Shores. It was nice to stay at a place that was not overcrowded, and you still felt like the beach was all yours. The amenities at the place were great. The owners are committed to maintaining a well laid out, well thought out property!

Beach front is the BEST!

Our family had such a good time here. I cannot tell you how amazing it is to wake up overlooking the water every day. It was super quiet here and very peaceful. We spent basically all day, every day on the beach….in the water, building sand castles, hunting for sea shells, or just walking along the beach. The house is beautifully renovated and had tons of beach toys!

Wonderful beachfront for a small family or group

Pros: Beach access is 10 steps away The beach is not crowded, sand is great The house is very comfortable and spacious. It's got everything you would need in kitchen, drip coffee pot (hidden in a cabinet) & a keurig, plenty of towels, washer/dryer, etc. Cons: Not much nearby - 10min+ drive to anything relevant No trash bags? Flies at the beach made it difficult to enjoy (October visit)

Best experience in Fort Morgan

This is by far the best home we stayed at in the last 5 years of vacationing in Fort Morgan. The house is superb from the cleanliness of the home, the accommodations available for couples and families, location, etc. The list goes on and on. The host takes great pride in providing a great experience for their guests and has an attention for detail (something I truly value). Communication was top notch and felt if there was any issue (not that there was anything significant) we could easily reach out if we needed anything. I can't say enough about this place and how wonderful our experience was. We will definitely be back with our family of 5!

What an amazing property! The house sits closer to the beach than those around it so there are unobstructed views and it feels like you have your own private beach! The room with a queen bed and bunk beds was perfect for us because our young children want to sleep in the same room when we travel. The beach is quiet and the perfect spot for kids to have as much room as they want. This is a great option for families with young children (my 3 children are ages 5 and younger). The house itself has been nicely renovated and very cozy.

We had the most amazing stay at this beach house! The location felt secluded and peaceful, almost like having our own private stretch of sand, yet it was still convenient with Walmart delivery and shops/restaurants just a short drive away. We loved starting our mornings with coffee on the deck watching the sunrise, and ending the day with breathtaking sunsets over the water. The beach was never crowded, which gave us plenty of space to relax, fish right from the shore, and let our little one play in the sand.The house itself was cozy, comfortable, and had everything we needed to feel at home. We made so many wonderful memories. From building sandcastles and reeling in fish to taking peaceful family walks at sunset. This was the perfect getaway spot for rest, fun, and family time. We can’t wait to come back!

Wow! What a home and a view!

We loved this house! It was perfect for our family. The views from the home and deck were amazing! We loved sitting under the pergola and enjoying the ocean view. House was clean and had everything we needed. Host was fantastic to communicate with. We were even lucky enough to see sea turtles hatch from their nest and make their way into the ocean. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Absolutely perfect!

In the 40 years I've been visiting the gulf coast, this house is one of my all time favorites. Gail is a fantastic host and made sure we were taken care of the entire week. The house itself has a very comfortable layout, the deck is truly amazing (you will love walking out in the morning to an expansive view of the gulf), and it really felt like a home away from home... but literally on the beach. We didn't want to leave and hope to be back ASAP! Thanks Gail for an unforgettable week!

Perfect beach house!

We loved our stay at Surf’s Up! So close to the beach! Loved sitting on the deck watching sunrises and sunsets! Beautiful, fully furnished kitchen. All rooms were updated and very comfortable. Gail and Jack are gracious hosts! Excellent dinner at Jesse’s on the Bay (pricey but worth it). Very close to the Ferry. We enjoyed a ferry ride to Dauphin Island. Highly recommend this beach house.
