About this property

Don't Walk to the Beach - Stay on the Beach!

Rent this amazing 4/2 beach front house positioned in front of neighboring houses - only 20 yards to the private beach in front of the house. Its location provides an awesome unblocked 180 degree view of the beach and Gulf.

Our most recent guest review:
We have stayed in homes for over 20 years in Ft Morgan, Gulf Shores, Destin, Panama City, and St George. This is one of the best, ranks right up there in the #1 spot. everything in the post is 100 percent correct. All the kitchen supplies you need are already there. Extra blankets and pillows are supplied. House was super clean inside and out. A lot of the times the inside will be clean but the outside needs some care. The outside was as clean as the inside. You can actually sit on the deck and enjoy the beach, it is that close. Also close to the Sassy store and the Sassy Chophouse. This way you don't have to drive a long way to grab the small essentials like ice or mustard. I would highly recommend this house and we will stay again.

Gulf Gaze Beach House, one of the best kept secrets, awaits you for an unique amazing beach adventure. Located in the private community of Cabana Beach Estates one of the first Gulf beach subdivisions driving out Fort Morgan peninsula. The house is only 20 yards from the sugar white sandy beach – out in front of most of our neighbors. Sit in the shade of our large covered deck and have an awe-inspiring, unobstructed 180⁰ view of the beach and Gulf where you can watch the dolphins play and the pelicans dive for dinner. Or you can enjoy the private relaxed quiet family beach in front of the house. You cannot appreciate Gulf Gaze Beach House until you are there!

Gulf Gaze is a family beach house sleeping a maximum of EIGHT (8) people including children of all ages. The house is rented on a weekly basis from Saturday to Saturday. We make every effort to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. You will find the house ideally suited for a relaxing vacation. A large percentage of the guests return annually. SORRY HIGH SCHOOL/COLLEGE GROUPS, CHURCH GROUPS, WEDDINGS PARTIES, AND LARGE FAMILY GATHERINGS RENTING MULTIPLE HOUSES CANNOT BE ACCOMMODATED!

The house is directly on the Gulf of Mexico beach in the small private community of Cabana Beach. Cabana Beach is one of the first beach side communities you come to in Fort Morgan. During walks on the beach, you will enjoy miles on pristine beach and dunes on each side of the house.

The house has four bedrooms and two baths. It is laid out with two bedrooms and a bath on each side of a great room. Entire front of the great room is glass providing an awesome panoramic view of the Gulf and beach. Front bedrooms have sliding glass doors opening onto the deck.

Recently, we installed the latest RGF HALO-LED Whole Home Air Purification System to help protect the health of our guests. The system "proactively treats every cubic inch of air-conditioned space, thereby reducing airborne and surface microbials, bacteria, viruses, mold, smoke, and VOC’s."

Guests Book Comments: What a beautiful view! We just loved everything about your wonderful home. The beach was beautiful. The kids loved chasing crabs. We can't wait to return to this charming, cozy home by the sea! We will surely miss looking out at the beautiful ocean every morning. Thanks for the wonderful memories! We will be back!

Guest Book Comments: Our first visit to Gulf Gaze, and we have truly enjoyed our vacation. We hope to return next year!

My family had one of our best vacations here at the Gulf. The house was a perfect distance from the tourist traps. Speaking of traps, Kiva Dunes was a great golf course and only a mile down the road. We spent most of our time on the beach tanning, swimming, and fishing. I caught several mullet, one catfish, two blue fish, and even hooked a manta ray! We will be back!

Guest Book Comments: We planned this trip for 5 months. It was everything we had hoped for. The house was great with the covered deck and excellent view. Low traffic on the beach was ideal. Hailey celebrated her 13th birthday on the beach! This was a very special trip - our whole family spent a relaxing week together and look forward to doing it again! On our last night, the dolphins came up and performed for us. We are not ready to go home!

Annual Vacation in Fort Morgan

Our family has enjoyed this house for the past two summers and you can't beat dinners on the covered porch, walking straight onto the beach, and watching storms from the enormous picture window. The kitchen is roomy enough for group cooking, which our family enjoys. Everyone used the outdoor, private, hot water shower, which is a key amenity for our family. We brought games with us but also enjoyed some classic games from the closet and the Texas Hold'em set. One week flew by.

Beautiful, roomy property with a great location!

We loved our stay at this beautiful property! We had plenty of space for our group (2 families of 4, total of 8). The great room was large with tons of seating, and the kitchen was well-stocked and very roomy as well. We especially enjoyed the huge deck overlooking the water - we saw dolphins off the deck almost every day of our stay. The beach area was nice, relaxing, and not crowded. We were also excited to find the beach is dark enough in this area to see part of the Milky Way! This house is conveniently located minutes from the Quick Stop, Sassy Pizza, and Dollar General. The homeowners are welcoming and great at communicating. We definitely recommend this property to future renters for a fun, relaxing stay!

Amazing!

What a wonderful place to stay! We stayed a week and didn't want to leave. Very clean and the pictures doesn't give it justice. The view of the ocean was incredible. First place we have rented where the owner called during the stay just to ask us how we were doing. That was awesome! She really went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. Would definitely recommend this rental to anyone. October was the perfect time to go. Almost had the beach to ourselves and no one bothered you! Thanks again so much for the experience.

Great views and access

This house is special, and we had a lovely time. It was our first time to be on the beach side at Cabana Beach, and we loved it. Our son in-law walked in and looked out the window, speechless. We enjoyed meals on the porch, the private hot water outdoor shower, and catching fish. The owners make the house available at 2pm which is unique and valued by us. Please note that this requires some work on the guests' part to help them get it turned quickly and the house comes with more instructions than you may be accustomed to receiving. It wasn't hard but took a bit of planning and adjusting to. That said, it was worth it to us to get in early and start our vacation.

Wonderful Trip!!

We had an amazing time relaxing at this house for a week. There was a group of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids) and this house was large enough and comfortable for all of us. The kitchen was well supplied and we made trips to the fresh seafood market about every day to bring home something new to try. The kids had a blast boogie boarding and playing in the ocean. The weather was a little cool and overcast a few days, but the water temperature was still warm enough that the kids didn't mind. It was so nice to be able to watch them from the porch and have a private beach all to ourselves! Our favorite thing was digging for the sand crabs after dark. We also made a trip into Pensacola to watch the Blue Angels and toured the Navy museum...that was worth the drive! My son repeatedly asked if we could come back to this house every year and he was upset on the 2 days that we traveled into town to look around. We slept with the doors open and listened to the waves. We miss it already!

Great Location, Amazing View

Overall, we had a great time. The view from the covered porch or from the great room was amazing and my favorite. The home can accommodate 8, although we only had a party of 4 so we had plenty of room. Guests should be aware that the rental requires a bit more cleaning by the occupants than what we are used to in other rentals, but it's not onerous and we got our full cleaning deposit back. Be sure to read the rental conditions. The owner was very pleasant and provided helpful tips on places to eat, etc. Thanks for a great vacation!
