Immerse yourself in the natural wonder of the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, where you can catch rare glimpses of migratory birds. This coastal oasis, just west of Gulf Shores, encompasses over 4,000 acres of diverse habitats, including beach dunes, scrub dunes, freshwater marshes, saltwater marshes, and maritime forests. Part of the central Gulf ecosystem, the refuge is a crucial stopover for the iconic monarch butterfly migration and home to more than 120 bird species, making it a birdwatcher's paradise.

Explore the Refuge's abundant recreational opportunities, from hiking and swimming to photography and shell collecting. Anglers can enjoy both freshwater and saltwater fishing. Take a ferry ride to Dauphin Island to visit the Sea Lab and Estuarium, an engaging educational aquarium that showcases the four key habitats of coastal Alabama: the Mobile Tensaw River Delta, Mobile Bay, the Barrier Islands, and the Northern Gulf of Mexico. Marvel at the 7,000-gallon stingray touch pool and stroll along the Living Marsh Boardwalk, immersing yourself in the region's vibrant coastal ecosystem.

The Estuarium showcases the diverse plant and animal life found in the Estuary and its surrounding marine habitats. Beautifully designed visual exhibits and engaging interactive displays will broaden your understanding of the intricate interactions within the Mobile Bay, the fourth-largest estuary system in the United States.

This island paradise is a haven for bird-watching and sunbathing. Visitors can explore the campground and hiking trails, where they can observe neotropical migrant birds and native wildflowers, especially during the spring bird migration season.

As a property dedicated to wildlife conservation, the area is surrounded by natural vegetation to encourage wildlife activity. These "no mow zones" serve as protected grasslands, providing increased opportunities to observe birds and other wildlife from a distance, without disturbing them. This habitat conservation is crucial in addressing the pressing environmental challenges we face today.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryle/Owner

Host profile image
We have been coming to the Gulf Shores area for over three decades. Our family, which includes two boys and a granddaughter, all share a deep love for the beach and fishing. It has long been our dream to own a home in this beautiful coastal region. In 2009, we fulfilled that dream by purchasing our first vacation property. Since then, we've expanded our portfolio, now owning a total of four rental homes, with two located near our initial purchase and one situated directly on the bay. We also maintain a personal residence just a few miles from our beach houses. Given that our primary home is only about a 4-hour drive away, we're able to visit the area frequently and look forward to sharing this cherished coastal haven with others.

Why they chose this property

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation stay in the neighborhood across the street, and decided this was the perfect location for our vacation home. In 2009, we purchased this home which was our first property here. Then in 2015, we designed and built a new home next door to this one.. Just last year, in 2022, we purchased and completely remodeled a bay front home. And most recently, in 2023, we designed and built a new home just a few houses up from this one. We look forward to one day retiring and making this area our permanent home.

What makes this property unique

This charming home is located on a peaceful street, making it an ideal choice for families. Pets are also welcome in this area, as they are allowed on the beach as long as they are leashed. The property boasts an open lot in the back, providing beautiful views. Additionally, we own the adjacent home.

The Alabama Gulf Coast is a treasure trove of delights. From fascinating museums and historical sites to exceptional birdwatching and expansive hiking trails, there are countless hidden gems to explore at the very edge of Alabama.

Nestled right on the Alabama coast, the community of Fort Morgan is an exquisite and highly sought-after vacation destination. While these beaches may be a bit of a hidden gem compared to other popular spots, they offer a truly unique and captivating experience.

When you choose Fort Morgan beach rentals, the whole family, including your furry companions, can join in the fun. Our rentals are pet-friendly, allowing visitors to bring their beloved pets on vacation. You'll be able to stroll along the beach with your dog in no time.

One of the most appealing activities in Fort Morgan Beach is the thrill of deep-sea fishing.

The waters off Fort Morgan are teeming with fish, offering a variety of exciting fishing opportunities. Whether you prefer casting from a local pier, taking a short trip near the shore, or embarking on a deep-sea fishing adventure, there is something to suit every angler's taste. For the ultimate thrill, consider booking a deep-sea fishing charter.

Beyond the lure of the catch, Fort Morgan presents an array of other tempting diversions. Golfers will delight in the nearby quality courses, while foodies will be impressed by the diverse dining options. And if you still crave more after your meal, the vibrant nightlife can provide the perfect cap to a wonderful day. Another must-visit attraction is the Fort Morgan Historic Site and Museum, which offers a glimpse into the area's captivating history.
