Awesome host. Accurate description, basic bedrooms, tight bathrooms, great kitchen and living room in one, great partially covered porch and ground level covered area each w tables. That corresponds to where we spent most of our time/what was most important to us. Lots of kitchen equipment, enough plates for all guests and visitors. Slow cooker, tall pot, food processor, blender, storage containers etc all you need to cook up stuff for the family week. That limits driving around as you are a bit away from the main drag.

We had a wonderful time. The cottage was well stocked and well maintained. There was plenty of room for all. We loved the location and beach access. Far enough away from Gulf shores to enjoy the peace and quiet but close enough if you want to go into the area to eat, shop, or hang out. The host was great, reached out prior to our dates, and we spoke during our stay when i had a question and the day we left. For me and my family it was 10/10 we are already looking at dates to reserve next year!

We stayed for 6 weeks and our stay could not have been any better. The owners were great. Very responsive with any questions we had. The location, just across the street from the Gulf, was outstanding. We will definately stay again when visiting the Gulf Shores.

Host profile image
Our family has owned this quaint beach cottage on the beach at Fort Morgan for almost 40 years. It is our home away from home, and we are always pleased to be able to share it with our guests so they can experience the relaxing and beautiful beaches of Fort Morgan. We are "locals" who live about an hour away, and take pride in personally maintaining and overseeing our beach cottage for our guests.

Why they chose this property

Our family beach cottage is not fancy, but it is clean and comfortable. Our family has made lots of great memories here over the years, and we hope that yours will, too!
