About this property

Spacious private home , private pool, dogs allowed, near boat dock, restaurants

Big Blue is a spacious private home tucked away in Surfside Shores, a private beach neighborhood with trees, vegitation and sand dunes. A 5 to 10 min walk to beach access, but close enough to the shore to hear the ocean when out on either of the two large decks at the back of the house.

We are just a hop down the road to Tacky Jacks and Sassy Bass restaurants in Ft Morgan and the new Jessie's by the Bay in Gulf Shores. If you would like some exercise, take a walk directly down our beach to the Sassy Bass Island Grill at the Plantations right near the water.


Home Layout:

The first floor has a master bedroom in the front of the house and the washer dryer. The back of the house faces the gulf, and the pool. Both bedrooms in the back of the house have french door access to the large back deck. The back bedrooms are connected by a large Jack and Jill bathroom with a rainfall shower.

The second floor has a wide open floorplan with the kitchen and living room sharing the same space. In the front of the house, the second master bedroom has a large closet space. The kitchen has french door access to the large top deck for outdoor dining.

We have stocked the kitchen well with a ninja blender, toaster, a drip coffee maker, modern fridge with ice maker. Pots, pans and cooking utensils and plenty of plates and utensils.

The staircase to the crows nest is on the second floor and our young guest love this unique space with the twin bed, small foldout foam couch and writing desks. We also have guests use this area as a remote working space or creative writing space.

We use Skylink high speed satellite internet for any remote work needs.

Each bedroom and the living room have smart tv’s for streaming video, live tv or gaming.

We are just a short drive to the Ft Morgan ferry doc for day trips to Dauphin Island and Pirates Cove.

Our local area also includes:
The Wharf, Tanger Outlet shopping
Gulf State Park Fishing Pier
Gulf Shores State Park Biking Trails
Fort Morgan fort
Golf Courses
Waterville USA Waterpark, Roller Coasters and Entertainment village
Several Mini Golf, Go Kart and Arcades
Deep Sea Fishing tours, boat rental, dolphin tours.

This home is rented directly by the owners. We are house proud and hope you have a wonderful visit to our home and area.

About the host

Hosted by Elisa Sargent

Host profile image
Dan and I are comic book artists from Colorado and discovered Gulf Shores on a trip down to visit friends. We fell in love with the area and bought a plot of land and designed and built Big Blue Sea. We love the natural light for writing and drawing and the wonderful energy of the Gulf Shores area.

Why they chose this property

What set this neighborhood apart for us was the pine trees! It was a mix of our home from Colorado, and a spot near the beach. We also love our beach crane the locals named Fred, and the pelicans that fly past our balcony to their nesting area. We have been a part supervising the turtle hatching on our beach! It's a little bit of heaven.

What makes this property unique

Big Blue is one of many great houses in this little nook in Gulf Shores. We have a lot of trees and vegitation that provide a bit of nature and privacy, and also have the dunes in front of the house that protect us from windy days. Our pool is a perfect way to refresh after a long day at the beach. We intentionally left a lot of space around our furniture for guests to be able to bring in their coolers and luggage and still be comfortable to move around the house. We have kept it simple so you have plenty of room to make it your own for the week.
