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.

This was a great spot for our family of 5 to spend the holidays. Very short walk to the beautiful, spacious beach. If you want a quiet spot with a good beach that’s off the beaten track, this is it.

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!

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.

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!

Morgans Escape - week of July 19

House was in very good condition. We've rented several beach houses and the overall condition was one of the best. Kitchen pots and pans were in good condition and are a decent quality compared to other rentals. Plenty towels provided. Everything worked, only thing we had to do were change a few light bulbs (which were available in the house). One negative - the beach chairs they provided were in terrible condition - good thing we brought our own. Same with the BBQ pits - they were pretty much unusable. The beach was fine - no oil smells at all. Beach looked wonderful but there were a lot of small sized tar balls just 2-3 feet into the water.

Fantastic week!

We truly enjoyed our 6 nights at Morgan’s escape! The house is located in the very relaxed and low key neighborhood of Morgantown. If you don’t want to be on the main drag of gulf shores this is the place for you (about 30 minute drive)! The beach is 200 yards from the house and one of the two neighborhood pools is directly nextstore (big plus for us having 3 kids under 8)! We had plenty of space for a family of five (enough room for two more adults - but more people would be tight for our preference). The house has everything needed for a comfortable stay (except paper products) and close to 2 great spots, tacky jacks and sassy bass restaurant and general store! A few cons, the windows need repair, the double pained glass is permanently fogged, and the wooden stairs/deck could use maintenance , a few nails were sticking out (tough with little ones). If you need to be directly on the beach (we didn’t) this isn’t your house, while the walk is short you can’t see the water from this house. We spent 4 days at the beach it’s really gorgeous and not over crowded, plenty of room for kids to discover! We would absolutely book this property again, it was exactly what we are looking for in a very chill vacation.

Another pleasant stay

We, (husband, dog, myself) had a relaxed Thanksgiving week in Morgantown at Morgan's Escape. The neighborhood and beach are peaceful. We used the large Morgantown pool and the tennis court. It was easy to carry my paddle board down to the beach. The house is very clean and well equipped. It is about time for a new bed in the primary suite and a refreshed rug in the dining room and I'm sure these are the types of things that all nice rental properties replace frequently. We love the spacious front porch for coffee and reading. I felt safe leaving my paddle board on the porch or in the concrete area under the house. This is a terrific property in Morgantown!

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.
