About this property

Morgan's Escape is the best location. Close to beach and pool!!!

'Morgans Escape' is a comfortable beach house located 200 yards from the beautiful private beach of Morgantown. You can sit on the swing or an adirondack chair on the front porch (38 feet long) and listen to the ocean waves while enjoying Gulf views.. The children can swim in the pool located right next to the house - or ride your bicycle along Fort Morgan Road, play tennis or just walk along the beach and collect shells. You can do as much or as little as you want in Fort Morgan.

Fort Morgan is a 20 mile peninsula bordered to the north by Mobile Bay and to the South by the Gulf of Mexico and Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. There are several world class golf courses located within a few miles of the house (Kiva, Peninsula and Plantation). The Ft. Morgan Marina & Tacky Jacks restaurant are just down the road where you can launch your boat or book a fishing charter. You can also take a ferry to Dauphin Island for a day trip (visit the estuarium or just ride bikes). Other area activities include shopping at Tanger Outlet Mall, visiting the waterpark in Gulf Shores, going on a Dolphin cruise, or playing miniature golf.

There are many excellent restaurants in the Fort Morgan/Gulf Shores area and a wide selection of Arts & Antiques stores in the city of Fairhope - about 45 minutes away.

'Morgans Escape' has a large kitchen and living area with plenty of room for the family to visit and have fun. Two bedrooms open to a back deck. There is a large dining table and a card table for games. There is a swing, picnic table and hammock under the carport. Dogs and children are welcome. These are pictures I've taken over the years.

Great Location in Morgantown

We stayed here with family members from NC and MS. Excellent location with easy access to beach and next door to the pool. Kitchen was furnished well and met our needs. We had some issues with the stove burners but communication was prompt to work out a solution.

Lovely home & location

We had a wonderful time. The home was wonderful. Wifi isn’t the best but honestly it was great to unplug for the week. We needed to recharge on the beach or by the pool. The home had everything we needed and we love to stay here! It’s our 2nd time back and I’m sure we will be back again!

Relaxing Beach Stay in Lovely Home

The Morgantown house is perfect for a comfortable stay at the beach. The home was clean and well organized. It was just the two of us and our dog and when we were not on the beach; we were on the spacious front porch. We used the pool and tennis courts - both in pristine condition. Don't hesitate to rent this home - it is perfect for a relaxing and low key beach get away.

Loved the very short walk yo the beach!

The boardwalk to the beach is just steps from the driveway! It made it so nice! The property is open and spacious. Kitchen had all we needed. We always enjoy the pools in this subdivision. The only negative remark I would give is this property needs more dresser space. I family had a great week and we enjoyed this property

Wonderful!

We had a fabulous, relaxing stay at Morgan's Escape. The proximity to the beach is perfect! The kitchen is stocked with more applicances, dishes, pots & pans than one could ever even use! The beds were comfortable and everything was spotless. The ONLY drawback to our trip was getting chomped alive by the gnats ("no-see-ums") on the front porch the first night. No fault of the homeowners, but MAN oh MAN, those gnats were ferocious. Pack your bug spray. We would happily stay in this house again.

Great Morgantown Location!

This was an excellent property for kids as its near the beach ( 1 block walking distance) and near the pool ( right next door). The stay was nice- it did get pretty chilly for us and the pools are not heated. The rental was a beautiful 3 bedroom with internet and Netflix. I would like to comment that there are not a lot of supplies ( no lighter, no dish soap or hand soap, garbage bags) so make sure to bring your own. We greatly enjoyed our stay with our family of 5

WONDERFUL!!!

This was our first time to Gulf Shores. We had a fantastic time. The house was wonderful. Plenty of room for 2 familes. We had 4 adults and 5 kids and a dog. The location was great, right next to the pool and just a short walk to the beach. The views from both the front and back decks were breathtaking. Loved the front porch swing! The house was clean and stocked with anything and everything you would need. The owners and management company were a pleasure to work with. We would definately stay here again.

Beautiful beaches

We really enjoyed this home for our extended family vacation. We were a close walking distance to the beach where we spent every day and also enjoyed the two pools! The house was great for all of us! It was nice to have the bunk bed room, big kitchen and kitchen table to sit everyone for meals or game time! I would expect that there be toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, paper towel, hand soap, ant spray etc or have it listed that we need it. Internet access wasn’t the best but there was so much beauty to take in you don’t need it. We would recommend this house!

Perfect Home

The house was well equipped with everything needed for 9 people and 2 pups to have an amazing vacation. We ate in most nights because there was a 700+teams softball tourney in the area. So much area for seating and playing games daily. House was very clean. Location was perfect- very short walk to the beach. Dolphins swam by and then Blue Angels flew over!!!! 30min walk to find The Rachel. Kids never got tired of sand castles or wave jumping. We are already planning the next trip!!!!

Great house layout, and decor. Very clean, except under the rugs. I think management needs to take issue with their house cleaners. No biggie for us, tho, we LOVED the house, comfy beds, good ͏t͏v's, location! Had to call Jody once, but it was fine. Would def stay here again. Felt like home. Plus, we had beautiful weather, water and skies!

Why they chose this property

The Ft. Morgan area is a great, peaceful retreat from the hectic pace of life and work.
The location of this home is perfect for all. The boardwalk to the beach is just across the road and the swimming pool next door, make it the best location for families with young children. We found that the younger children got tired of the beach and heat after a few days and would rather go next door to the pool. In the early days, you could sit on the porch and watch the pool. Now, the scrub oaks have gotten taller and the view is not as open.
The subdivision has a security company that will come lock the pool up at closing time. If someone climbs the fence and is a bother, just call the security company and they will take care of it. We love this home and hope you will also.

What makes this property unique

The single most enjoyable thing we love about our beach house is the front porch. Family and friends gather there and visit for hours. Things we do not take time to do at home. We seldom watch TV at the beach but we do enjoy music. The large family area of this home makes it nice for others to come visit and gather for meals. Most homes this size have 4 bedrooms, which cuts down on the living area. With hardwood floors in all rooms, this home is easy to keep clean and it adds a unique open feeling for the beach experience.
