About this property
Fort Sun, West. Gorgeous 7BR Beachfront. Extra fridges. Private Pool! Sleeps 24.
Fort Sun, West 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.
Summer 2026 is ALMOST GONE and 2027 is filling up REAL FAST! Still looking for 2026? Contact us ASAP.
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!
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 West unit.
BRAND NEW VIRTUAL TOUR POSTED for both sides. Check it out. Latest art is the virtual tour. https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=x1w2LUJw5Vf
This listing is for ONE side, the West 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!

https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=x1w2LUJw5Vf
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 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!

Ft Morgan was not always my first pick but now there are plenty of stores and restaurants. You no longer have to go to Gulf Shores every day. House was very nice and clean. Pool under house was great. Didnāt have to put sunscreen on the kids every time we let them swim.
Home was perfect for our large group. Well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen. Nice quiet area that was just what we wanted. Close enough to everything but not right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the Spring Break crowd. Would recommend to anyone with a large group of all ages.
We loved staying here! Canāt wait to do it again, perfect spot for multiple families and location was incredible!

West side of Fort Sun
This place was perfect for our large family and we really enjoyed Fort Morgan!
Our family had a great time at Fort Sun West. The house gave us everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. The younger kids loved the pool and it was clean and a good size. The beach is in a family friendly area and we loved that. Overall a good experience.
We had an amazing stay. The house was spacious and was great for our family.

Loved the laid back atmosphere
We had a great time, weather and beach was perfect the entire trip. Loved the location, as it was away from the hustle of town and on the end with more relaxed atmosphere for sure.
The property was exactly what we expected and we had a great time!

Great stay!
We enjoyed our stay at Fort Sun West. The house was just what we needed. We had 20 in our party and had plenty of room. House is on the beach which made watching the dolphins play from the house exciting!
Had a wonderful time at Fort Sun West. There were 4 families (15 in all) and there was plenty of room. Loved the 2 refrigerators! The view from the balcony is spectacular, the pool on the main floor was great, and you are located right on the beach! It was clean, beds were comfy. Couldn't have asked for better!
This was an amazing home plenty of room for our 5 families and the 2 fridges were a great bonus plenty of room for everything!! The view and short distance to beach was the best part and a much added luxery of having the pool for evenings and the littles when they were done playing in the gulf!!

About the host
Hosted by Rick Goldsworthy
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!
