About this property

Lux designer home-private beach, chefs kitchen, water view, near golf & marina

Welcome to your own slice of Gulf Shores paradise in the quiet Surfside Shores beachfront neighborhood in Fort Morgan! This stylish, HGTV-worthy beach home is ready for your next Gulf coast vacation. The house is 4 blocks (0.4 mi/6-8 min walk) from the pristine sugar sands of the private neighborhood beach. Enjoy the fully loaded chef's kitchen while watching a radiant sunset over the expansive back deck, overlooking a natural, protected wetland lake. The area is perfect for birdwatching, as it's close to the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. It’s close to great fishing spots and 2 amazing golf courses. Your dream vacation is a click away!

This bright, modern, beach house was designed-from architectural drawings to stud to interior design-with your comfort in mind. Our design team included an award-winning Alabama architectural firm, Stewart Planning, and an Atlanta interior firm, DBH Design.

The modern but casual luxury of the decor was inspired by the warm and textural natural land-colors of the gorgeous Gulf Coast beaches.

LIVING:
The living, dining, and kitchen are open concept with soaring 10 foot ceilings with oversized luxury chandeliers and ample seating options, so your whole group can spend quality time together in comfort and style when you’re not at the sugary white sand beaches. There's an electric fireplace that can be used heatless if you just want the ambiance in the summer! The living room also overlooks a natural wetland lake and has a great view of the sunset. There's an oversized double slider doorway to access the expansive back deck. The deck has plenty of dining and lounging furniture for you to enjoy. There's also a remote work desk for you to work from your home-away-from-home

KITCHEN:
The gourmet chef's kitchen has as many cooking essentials as we could think of with pots and pans, a large pot and pot filler for your family and friends to enjoy preparing a low country boil, stand mixer, sharp knives, coffee station, blender, and so much more! The kitchen also has a big counter-depth refrigerator with two freezer drawers, a stand-alone ice maker for your drinks and coolers, a pantry cabinet, plus a drip coffee maker and French press. We also include complimentary fair trade organic whole bean coffee, creamer, and sugar for our amazing guests.

DINING:
The dining room has a custom locally sourced artisan-crafted wood table that seats 10 comfortably with another 4 handmade high-top stools, imported from Eastern Europe, at the 7-foot island in the kitchen.

LAUNDRY:
We have a washer and dryer closet inside the home, so your group can pack as light as you want!

Why they chose this property

The Surfside Shores neighborhood is a private beachfront community that has larger 1/2 acre lots, so there’s much more privacy and serenity than most other neighborhoods in the area. We love the beautiful beach and the great neighbors!

What makes this property unique

Our home was designed by an acclaimed architect in Mobile Bay. Every bit of the home was designed for guests to feel at home while on vacation—the big open space for gathering, the cozy fireplace, the spacious deck, and the privacy of the rooms on either side of the home. It’s the perfect vacation home for you and your loved ones.

The interior design was done in consultation with an Atlanta design firm, DBH Design. The decor is modern and luxurious while remaining casual and comfortable.

Let the cares of the world melt away under the Gulf Coast sunshine, and soak in the joy and fun that awaits you at the Kraftzee Cottage.
