As Good As It Gets - 1.5 min walk to Beach
Check us out “As Good As it Gets” Yes, its only 1,5 minute walk to the beach! Check out our charming 3 bedroom / 2 bathroom home in Fort Morgan you are swept away by its tranquil setting. Enjoy being away from the crowds and immerse yourself in the private like setting of this family beach. Gulf Shores is not pet friendly but Fort Morgan is and so are we! Bring your fur babies and let them enjoy a vacation as well - Max 2 dogs, the fee is $180 fee and there are weight limits (less than 50 lbs). Age minimum to rent is 25. Great News, we have added (in May 2023) a new mini-split A/C to the main area to keep the house cool on those hot days, so we now have 2 HVAC systems. Also added close cell spray foam under the house to help keep the house cool on those hot days. Start your vacation right and forget the cares of this world as you wake up and enjoy your coffee on the spacious front porch listening to the waves and watching the pelicans soar on the horizon. After your coffee, take a stroll on the white sand in the early hours to see the dolphins greeting you with the sunrise and before you come back in the house, there is a outside shower (Hot & Cold or warm) to rinse the sand off before heading upstairs. As you return to make breakfast, lunch or dinner, enjoy a spacious and fully stocked kitchen that opens itself to a large island both now have new quartz countertops and open living room. The large breakfast bar has 4 bar stools. The Dining Room table fits 4-5 as well. As you head to the beach, feel free to use the wagon downstairs to haul your kids or your stuff to the beach! Enjoy your movie nights in the living room on huge 75 inch TV with the family. Wireless internet makes it easy to enjoy streaming your favorite show but Streaming TV service has changed their rules...

They all have newer mattresses purchased in September 2021. The also sleeper sofa has a queen sized bed as well. The house comfortably sleeps 9 people. We also added 3 outdoor security cameras for the Security of our guests and our house when we don't have guests. They are under house in the parking areas and 1 on the side of the house entrance area - motion activated. Fort Morgan has so much to offer you! The fishing here is phenomenal with the Fort Morgan Marina only 5 minutes away. They offer charters of the bay and ocean and the Fort Morgan pier is some of the best fishing in the Gulf! If fishing is not your thing, eating local seafood still might be. The renowned Sassy Bass Grill and only 5 minutes from your house and Tacky Jacks is 2 minutes away. If you like history the actual Fort Morgan is open to the public to tour and there is a new board walk between the ferry launch and the Fort. Come to the peninsula and see what the buzz is about. The Ferry also leaves from the peninsula and takes you to Dauphin Island. Go enjoy a dolphin cruise and have the dolphins right at your side. Fort Morgan is Gulf Shores best kept secret. Come and enjoy your stay at “As Good as it Gets.” We can’t wait to have you! Fall, winter and spring guests now can enjoy our new electric fireplace that actually puts out heat with the flip of a switch! And parents don’t worry it’s safe and not hot to the touch.

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay. Please come back again!
Paul is a very good host, kept in touch, was responsive to questions....and, tolerated a nervous renter very well. The home was perfect for our needs, it was clean and had a very comfy king sized bed in the master suite. Our pups had room to roam, and loved the warm walks on the beach which really is just a short walk. The dunes are beautiful and the beach was very nice and natural. Oh the kitchen is very well equipped, we had everything we needed to cook meals. I would definitely stay here again.
Absolutely soul rejuvenating. Amazing home and host. Perfectly located very close to the beach and plenty of places close to eat. Home has everything you need and want. Entire family had the time of our life and hated to leave.

Thank you so very much for your review. We are so very glad that you and your family had a wonderful time.
We sure do hope you come back again and again!
The front deck, comfortable furniture on it, and great view are enough to make me give this five stars, but the inside living area is great, too! Kitchen has anything you could need. The hosts were quick to get check in info to me even though I booked at the last minute. It takes a one minute to get to the beach, and it’s a perfect beach spot to watch the sunset. Also very dog friendly. I loved that hot water outdoor shower to rinse the sand off in a little bit chilly weather! Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at As good as it gets. Very short walk to the beach. Kitchen was well stocked and beds were comfortable. Enjoyed the front and back decks and the outdoor furniture. The beach wagon and grill were useful as well.

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and would welcome you back anytime. You were a great guest!
This house is perfect for a fun beach getaway. The kitchen is nice and fully stocked including kids plates and cups which my kids loved, the beds were so comfortable, and the swings and hammock downstairs were one of our favorite spots. The house is a super quick walk to the beach and you can even see it from the balcony with your morning coffee. We can’t wait to come back!

We are so glad you and your family enjoyed your vacation.
Please come back anytime! We would love to be your hosts again!
This is our 2nd yr renting this house, and we love it!! House is wonderful! Kitchen is amazing! Love that the outside shower has hot and cold water. Great view of beach from the front porch. Very close walk to beach!
We loved our time at this place. Very clean, great location and accept dogs. Love this place. Our 12 and 15 teen boys had a great time. We grilled every night, the grill could use new grill grates. We walked the 1 minute walk to the beach with our dog everyday.
We had a great time!!!

Definitely would rent again and recommend this property. The pictures are deceiving in a good way. It was so much nicer. The walk to the beach was closer than appeared in the pics. The Hendersons were so nice. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to having you come back over and over again. Thank you again!
The house was just perfect for 6 adults. Location was great and just quick walk to the beach. It’s on a dead end road so not a lot of people. The house is fully stocked with variety of pans, new appliances, and new queen bunk. The AC was also very good. House was nice and cool. The host was excellent and very responsive to our questions and needs. Overall, we were very happy with the house and would recommend staying here.

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. Please come and visit us again.
This place was very nice and clean. It was well stocked with everything that was needed for cooking. The location is prefect and you can view the gulf from the deck and listen to the waves, or sit under the house in the swings. This place has more than enough room to spread out with your family. Anytime I had a question, Jenn was fast to respond and very pleasant to deal with. We will definitely plan to book on our next trip. Thanks again.
Great home in a quiet area of Fort Morgan away from the crowds. The house was clean and very comfortable. The beach was a short walk and our dogs enjoyed their first visit to the coast! The owner was extremely helpful, flexible when having to change the dates, and responded quickly to each email. Even posting on some Facebook boards to provide answers to our questions. We will not hesitate to return.
The house was lovely, tastefully appointed and included many of the amenities we didn’t expect!
Extra blankets, coffee bar and full kitchen were amazing! The trash service was a special extra touch.
We enjoyed the beauty and serenity of this amazing home, steps from the beach! It was hard to leave, but we did start planning our 14th annual return trip and hope this house is available again. Very gracious hosts!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful beach escape with our family. We made many treasured memories and look forward to more!

The house was close to the beach; we could see it from the front deck. It was roomy and comfortable! We were excited to bring our 2 dogs. We will rent again!
