About this property
COTTAGE ON THE SHORE! WEEKLY DISCOUNTS 30%!! MONTHLY DISCOUNTS 40%!!!
Adorable 3 bedroom, 2 bath single family home facing the Gulf of Mexico in the quaint town of Fort Morgan in Gulf Shores, AL! Located in the Morgantown subdivision, you're just steps (approximately 1,000 ft) to the beach with beach access and a great view. The property is practically, but not technically, beachfront with just one empty lot between you and the beach. Also, the deed to the property includes the access path to the beach, so you're not trespassing when you walk straight from your doorstep to the beach. Once you stock the pantry and refrigerator with food and snacks, you never have to leave the property to experience the beach for a long vacation or weekend trip. Enjoy your morning coffee on the covered porch with a swing and outdoor furniture while taking in the view. Grill lunch for the family in the afternoon with a barbeque pit on the second level of the deck. Relax in the Adirondack chairs at night around the firepit after a long day at the beach. Plenty of parking right up to the house to unpack your belongings using the convenient luggage ramp. Garbage is picked up and brought to the road for you 2x a week! Full spacious laundry room to store all the beach gear. The Fort Morgan area of Gulf Shores is the best-kept secret in town and has a very family-friendly environment.

About the host
Hosted by Heather
Originally from New Orleans, I stuck to the city most of my life and only started taking consistent trips to the beach as an adult. I didn't know what I was missing! The serenity at the beach just resets your soul, so as a host, I love being able to help others experience this as well. We all need that!
Why they chose this property
I chose the neighborhood by accident. I was looking for something in Gulf Shores but had never been to the Fort Morgan area because I didn't know it existed. I thought all of Gulf Shores was surrounded by condominiums. So, what I enjoy most about the area is the space and privacy. However, if you want to venture out, you don't have to drive far. It's perfect to me; the best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
It has a beachfront feel without the beachfront price. The reason it has the feel of a beachfront is because the lot between the house and the beach is currently empty meaning that nothing is obstructing the beach view. Also, the deed to the property includes the access path to the beach, so you're not trespassing when you walk straight from your doorstep to the beach.
