The views and beach access were spectacular! The house was perfect for our family of 12! It was as beautiful as the pictures in the listing. The owner was immediately responsive- we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return!
This location was perfect for our family of eight adults and three children (8 and under). We had a wonderful stay which included dolphin watching, building sand structures, crabbing at night and the grandchildren loved the little pool. The house was clean and welcoming. Communication with the owner was excellent. Would highly recommend this property.

Pefect Vacation!
Everything about this home was perfect. It was awesome being right on the beach and even got to see dolphin on several occasions. We truly loved everything about this house and it's location and hope to return some day.
The property was incredible and perfect for our family! The checkin and checkout process was clear and easy! The communication with the owner was above and beyond. We always received a quick response and anything needed was handled quickly! We would definitely stay here again!
Such a perfect layout and wonderful beachfront property in the Fort Morgan area of Gulf Shores. Owner was very attentive when a couple of issues occurred. Our family loved this Beach House and made wonderful memories!!
Had a great stay. 9 adults and 7 kids. Beach is about 100 steps. Have added a picture of the pool. It is small but the kids had a blast. In the picture you’ll see 8, 10, and 12 year olds. Gives you a little insight on the pool. Everything you need to cook with is available. Host was always available. Would not hesitate to book again.
