One pool newly renovated. Also, Morgantown and its resident's practice “Leave Only Footprints." This is to protect wildlife, especially mama sea turtles who come ashore to nest between months of May and October. Enjoy this charming beach home furnished with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. We offer commercial ice machine, and beach cart not to mention beach toys and a well-stocked kitchen. From the Beach Bum, it is just a little over a block to the beach, tennis courts and pools. The short walk to beach (5-10 minutes due to how fast or slow you walk) you will see scenic wetlands, beautiful homes and variety of wildlife. You will not have any busy roads in beautiful laid-back Morgantown. Here life slows down and get ready for your troubles to lift off your shoulders. Open and airy floor plan includes 3 bedrooms which are master with king bed, memory foam mattress and master bath with walk in shower; queen bed with memory foam mattress in 2nd bedroom; 3rd bedroom features 2 full size beds with memory foam mattresses. Also have twin bunk alcove names "The Turtles Nest". Fun for the little ones with sea life mural on walls; but roomy and comfortable enough for 2 adults. Second bath has shower/tub combo located in area of these bedrooms. Each bedroom has a smart TV, also a smart TV located in living room. Charcoal grill is available for those grill masters. Front porch deck area you can watch stunning sunrises and sunsets in which you can hear waves crashing onto shore. If you are lucky enough, you may even get to see Blue Angels practice during the week. The back porch deck area looks over Morgan Lakes not necessarily a lake but marsh area which is a beautiful habitat. Who knows what wildlife you may get to observe while sitting back drinking your coffee or 5 o'clock somewhere drink. We have furnished our home with the essentials we like to make it as comfortable as possible.

Located away from crowded beaches and busy touristy downtown Gulf Shores but is only 15-20 minutes into town. If you don't feel like driving into town on a lazy beach day the Sassy Bass, Tacky Jacks, and upscale Jesse's on the Bay are 3 closets restaurants with delicious menu. Sassy Bass also has convenient store to pick up any needed essentials without having to go into town. Sassy Bass also has pizza delivery and they are delicious A Dollar General is just down the road. The full-service Fort Morgan marina is approximately 3 miles from Morgantown. Opportunities for everyone include fishing, swimming, kayaking, walking trails and golf courses are close by. History lovers can tour Fort Morgan at end of peninsula. Follow us on The Beach Bum in Morgantown Gulf Shores AL.

Unfortunately, we do not rent to anyone younger than 23. This is family friendly area. If you are looking for a partying scene this is NOT the home for you. NO smoking and also this home is NOT pet friendly! We DO want you to have fun, relax and unwind!

Bring your own golf cart or rent one from Island Carts in Gulf Shores.

We are just regular hard working people with 2 amazing daughters. Mississippi is our regular home at this time but we are planning on moving to this area because we have fallen in love with Fort Morgan. The people are so nice and friendly and we love Fort Morgan Beaches.

Why they chose this property

We are in our seventh year of rental program and is in a perfect spot. 5 minute walk to beach. 5 minutes you are in the water !!! One of neighborhood pools is quick 2 minute walk and the other is approx. 5 min walk, Literally steps to each!! Quiet area. Nice views from both decks and you can hear the waves to just calm your nerves from everyday life. We hope you fall in love with our property and area just as we have. We furnished our with new furnishings! Price is right for location!! Kitchen has everything you need if you like to cook on vacation or close enough to local restaurants if you rather eat out! We have small air compressor in storage building to air up floats. Beach wagon to carry all your gear. If you like can drive to parking lot at one beach access point be there in 1 minute.

What makes this property unique

So very close to beach without the high price of beach front rental. Neighborhood is perfect for walking, riding bikes, running. Bring your golf cart if you like. Very close to pools and tennis courts. We have fallen in love with the sunsets from front porch. Just beautiful. Hope you enjoy our home as much as we have!
