About this property

Beachfront Sanctuary in Morgantown - Pools, Tennis

Welcome to Noah’s Ark: Your Beachfront Sanctuary

The Highlights

For some, a beachfront location is all that’s needed—but Noah's Ark offers so much more. With expansive outdoor decking, both covered and uncovered, you'll have plenty of space to unwind, enjoy the ocean breeze, and listen to the soothing sound of the surf just steps away. Watch the local wildlife, and if you're lucky, you might catch a breathtaking performance by the Blue Angels practicing along the coast. Inside, a wall of windows floods the living area with natural light, providing spectacular water views from virtually every corner. The home is equipped with thoughtful amenities like a commercial ice maker and a separate beverage fridge to make your stay even more comfortable.

The Space

This spacious two-story home features a grand great room with a wall of windows, maximizing your opportunity to enjoy the stunning views from the inside. The updated, fully-equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare delicious meals, and the ample dining and living spaces ensure there's room for everyone to gather or spread out.

The primary bedroom, located on the upper level, boasts a King-sized bed, a private bath with a jetted tub and stall shower, and, of course, breathtaking views of the Gulf. There’s also a cozy loft area with a Twin-over-Twin bunk, perfect for kids or extra guests.

On the lower level, you'll find four additional bedrooms, each offering comfort and privacy. The King bedroom has its own private bath and also features magnificent Gulf views. The Queen room has access to a full bath, which opens both to the room and the hallway. The second Queen room and the bunk room share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, making them perfect for families or groups traveling together.

For your convenience, the ground level offers a hot/cold outdoor shower and a half bath, making it easy to rinse off after a day at the beach without bringing the sand and saltwater into the house.

Morgantown & Fort Morgan: A Hidden Gem

Morgantown is a charming, coastal community that’s known for its family-friendly atmosphere and pride of ownership. The neighborhood offers two sparkling swimming pools, a kiddie pool, two lighted tennis/pickleball courts, and several beach access boardwalks. The area is perfect for leisurely walks and bike rides, and many guests love renting golf carts to take in the sunset views. For those with small children or a preference for close parking, a public lot is conveniently located just west of Morgantown.

Located just 15 scenic miles from Gulf Shores, everything you need is nearby. Stock up on essentials at the Dollar General or Sassy Bass Market, or explore the many local restaurants that serve up fresh, flavorful dishes. Popular spots like Tacky Jack’s, Sassy Bass (with two locations), Coast, and the soon-to-open Jesse’s offer both great food and live local entertainment.

Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby Fort Morgan Fishing Pier, where you can enjoy inshore fishing and reel in the area’s abundant species.

For nature lovers, a visit to the Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge is a must. With over 7,000 acres of pristine coastal habitat, the refuge offers four hiking trails of varying lengths and terrains. It’s the perfect spot to observe the region’s diverse flora and fauna and soak in the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast.

Noah's Ark; Great Place for a Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is well-located in Morgantown on the beach. The views from the interior are superb with the Gulf view from a "wall of glass." About 6.5 miles down the road is Fort Morgan with the Mobile Bay Ferry that can take you to Dauphin Island for a day of biking. About 4 miles towards town is a new fine dining restaurant, Jesse's on the Bay. Noah's Ark is well-maintained with all the features you want for a Gulf vacation.

Perfect Getaway

We were able to have an amazing vacation at this house. The beach was fantastic and not crowded at all. The rooms were all a nice size, the kitchen and family rooms were also great. If I had one complaint, it’s that I didn’t like the note in the thermostat REQUIRING guests to keep the AC above 72 or threatening the AC unit would freeze and we would get charged - we usually keep our house cooler than that and this got frustrating after a warm day at the beach. Overall though it was A+ and we will 100% be back.

Lots of seating and a large table kitchen table plus bar stools with space to eat at the counter. This was perfect for our large family of 9. The house was Very clean when we arrived and had everything we needed. There is a toilet and shower down stairs outside which we loved so we could rinse and clean off after being on the beach. The house is right on the beach which we loved with amazing views! Highly recommend this house. We will definitely be back!!

Wonderful week at Noah’s Ark!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Noah’s Ark is a comfortable, beautiful Morgantown home and well maintained! The house was very clean and everything was in good working order. We have rented other Ft. Morgan houses in previous years but all decided this was our favorite. Management company was easy to work with. The only issue we had while there was a noisy group that wanted to set up their beach tent very close to ours. They had accessed our area through the nearby public beach access. Other than that, we were very pleased and would definitely recommend Noah’s Ark to others looking for a beachfront home on Ft Morgan.

Restfull Week

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very happy with our stay at Noah's Ark. This our third time. Especially enjoy outside toilet and sower. Also VERY large covered area for cars or children to play. Disappointed could not set up Commercial tents. As you age you need shade at beach, and carrying a tent and chairs each day was a downer. Will have to consider that next time. Everything worked get. Liked ice maker and drink cooler. The floors and mattresses seemed new. Very good experience.

The perfect rental. No detail overlooked.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We wanted to submit a five-star review the moment we walked into the house! The home was equipped far better than any home we’ve ever used. The kitchen had a great layout for cooking and the separate bar had everything we needed, including an ice machine that kept our coolers full! The rooms were spread out and spacious. Beds very comfortable. Great master bath. Grill in the carport worked great. Very clean! Beach was steps away. Outdoor bathroom and shower very handy. Wonderful value. We loved it so much we extended our stay, and the management company was very prompt and responsive. 100% recommend!

Nice house, nice views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had 3 families and 14 total people. It worked out well, plenty of room for everyone. Amazing views. Outdoor shower and toilet were nice to have. Plenty of dishes, pans, etc for cooking. Ice machine was clutch, no need to run and grab multiple bags of ice everyday. Only downside was we did encounter a few large roaches each evening in various places. Property manager was informed and they are looking into it. The other negative is not related to the house but Morgantown always had a basketball hoop but it appears that no longer exists. Otherwise, it was a great time in a great location. We would come back.

Fourth time back! Never disappoints!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our fourth time staying at this location! Noah's Ark, has been our home away from home for our annual family beach trip. We absolutely love everything about the house. The kitchen is stocked with everything that you need in the extra beverage refrigerator and icemaker is an added bonus! Everything in this house works, nothing is broken. We only had one small issue with the cable and the property manager, Linda, sent someone right over to have it fixed. I cannot express how appreciative and thankful I am for the communication that Linda provided to us throughout the trip. Other highlights, when this house says that it will sleep 14 people, they are not lying! If you've never stayed in this area, the house is located in Fort Morgan, if you're looking for an area with a lot of activity, this is not yet. But if you're coming to enjoy the beach, this is the perfect place. Not only is the house ready and set up to be lived in comfortably, But the amount of space you have underneath the house to put your all your cars in and the grill, it's a huge plus! If you are hesitating on renting this house, don't! It's worth every penny!

Perfect Beach House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We picked a hot time of year in the middle of a heat wave but in this house we never lost view of the beautiful beach. We also encountered jellyfish so we were not able to spend as much time in the ocean as we would have liked. The entire beachfront wall of windows allowed us to stay cool and still watch the waves, view the birds, and even spot dolphins. There were plenty of kitchen wares, towels, games, and books to enjoy. Location is a beautiful neighborhood about 25 miles from Gulf shores. Far enough away from the city to enjoy peace but close enough to go have some fun. The house manager, Linda, came over to help us with a remote control issue. She was very sweet and gave us recommendations for child friendly activities in the area. We went on the Sunny Lady Dolphin Cruise and it was really fun for kids and adults alike. I highly recommend Noah’s Ark beach house. Hope to come back sometime.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband, myself, 3 of our grown children and their spouses along with our precious 5 grandchildren could not have asked for a better place to stay on our vacation. The space was incredible and accomodated our large family perfectly. The proximity to the beach was incredible (75 steps, I counted!) Everyone commented on the ideal location. The property manager checked on us regularly and were so helpful in answering all questions. We plan to make this an annual destination!

Good, not great.

Spent Labor Day weekend at Noah's Ark with a group of 11 ranging from 4 to 74 years old. The layout of the house was great for a group of our size and the location / ease of beach access couldn't be beat. The kitchen was very well stocked in terms of dishes and cookware, and the kids enjoyed the sand toys and boogie boards found under the house. The house definitely needs some love and more attention to cleaning prior to check in. It's a big house, and hard to get everything, but there was literally a small pile of sand in the closet 6 inches from where the vacuum is stored. The bunk beds in the bedroom on the main floor need to be discontinued. There are several sharp edges on the metal frame that they cover with tape and or dishtowels to make safe. It's also extremely wobbly if anyone is on the top bunk. There were a handful of other small issues - leaky kitchen faucet, a few bugs, very saggy floors in some places, etc. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the beautiful views from the wall full of windows in the living room, but the condition of the house itself leaves much to be desired.

Beautiful Views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming here for years and always love it. This is our 4-5 year at this specific home. Best views and the family loves it. Over the last couple years its a little sad to see that the property isn't being maintained well. The main bathroom ceiling has a significant amount of water damage, most rooms have large drywall cracks. Unfortunately we were welcomed by many many cockroaches which continued through the duration of our stay. Noahs Ark you can do better bc I've seen it. Great property mgt company, quick responses and professional attitudes.
