About this property

Private Decks - Swing - Cargo Lift - Beach Access

Jellyfish Twist is located on the quiet peninsula of Fort Morgan, 17 miles from Gulf Shores. The private, dog-friendly beaches, lack of crowds, and slower pace of life make this property the perfect site for your beach getaway. We cater to girls' trips, professionals' sabbaticals. and fishermens' holidays.

In doing our part to be eco-friendly, we installed wildlife-friendly lighting to assist the turtle babies. We supply detergent sheets and wool dryer balls for laundry and a Brita filter for water. A recycle bin is available as well. It’s a small step, but these actions help our environment.

I offer more than just a place to stay. As a local gal, I can suggest places to go and things to do in the area. The beach is our main attraction, but we have much more to experience. The digital guestbook provides much of the information you need in one place.

I am fully invested in my property and manage the day-to-day operations, maintenance, and cleaning. I go well beyond standard with hotel quality bed linens, two pillows per guests, hotel quality bath towels, high quality paper products, and a fully equipped kitchen. By staying in the property regularly, I can identified nuances that improve the quality of the house and make your stay that much better.

I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Just shoot me a message! If I happen to be offline at the moment, I will reply as soon as I am available.

The only thing left to do is hit the BOOK button and prepare to experience hospitality as warm as the summer sunshine.

Cozy cute beach house

We enjoyed our stay. Loved mornings on the front deck listening to the ocean. Living room was cozy & a great place to relax. We appreciated the beach cart so we could haul our cooler & gear to the beach. Added bonus was the elevator/lift to move our luggage in & out.

Lovely property with all amenities. Everything as described. Swing on porch was best! Upstairs bedroom perfect for teen to stow away, as they typically do. Would rent again. Owner very responsive and home was fantastic. Elevator was life saver!

Jellyfish Twist - Best I've stayed in in over 30 years of visiting Gulf Shores area

My extended family and I have been vacationing in L.A. (Lower Alabama) for nearly 35 years. We've stayed in some great places and some terrible ones. Jellyfish Twist is hands down the best we have stayed at overall. Ample parking, composite decking and furniture outside, free coffee, hotel-style body wash, conditioner, and shampoo, comfortable furniture, amazing host, you name, this place had it. Interior stairs were carpeted and quiet! No creaks, no worry of waking up anyone in the master suite. It was great for a group of early risers upstairs and late sleepers downstairs. Laurel was amazing to work with and even brought a new microwave, as a previous guest had broken the opening mechanism on the old one. One of the best parts? No one complained about the beds! And I had to sleep on the kiddie trundle bed. The location is quite far from the main drag in Gulf Shores, but with a little planning, it works well. Love not having to fight with people for beach spots. Perhaps the only two cons were that it sits about 800 feet from the two easy beach accesses, so you hook it, or drive a short distance. Worth it. The other might be that there is no unimpeded view of the beach, mostly because of the utilities. We also had to deal with construction next door (and the chigging of a generator to power their tools), but that's nothing new for the area.All in all we were very pleased with Jellyfiish Twist and will have it on our short list of places to stay at from now on.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
My love affair with Alabama's coast began in 1991 during a work conference in Gulf Shores. I was captivated by the small coastal cottages and relaxed atmosphere that defined the area back then. After visiting every October for twelve years, I knew I had to make this place home.
As a pet owner myself, I understood the challenge of finding quality accommodations that welcome furry family members. When I purchased my first property on West Beach, I was determined to create the kind of clean, comfortable space I wished I could have found during my own travels - one that truly welcomes pets.
Three decades later, my husband and I fulfilled another dream by acquiring Jellyfish Twist in peaceful Fort Morgan. We're drawn to the natural beauty and tranquil setting, away from the crowds but still close to everything the coast offers. Whether you're planning a girls' getaway, a working retreat, or a fishing adventure, we'd love to share our corner of the Alabama coast with you.
