About this property

The Salty Pelican, Family Beachfront Escape, Sleeps 16, Plunge Pool, Fort Morgan

Wake up to the sound of gentle waves and your toes in the sand at this true beachfront escape, set directly on a private stretch of Fort Morgan’s pristine shoreline. Step off the spacious wooden deck and follow your own path straight to untouched, sandy beaches—flip‑flops optional.

From sunrise coffees to sunset cocktails, every moment is framed by sweeping Gulf views. Settle into the provided loungers and watch dolphins glide by as the tide rolls in. Take a dip into plunge pool to cool off. Or spend your days nearby sailing across turquoise water, reeling in the catch of the day, snorkeling vibrant shallows, golfing all year long, or renting jet skis for a little thrill.

Great family vacation!

This location was perfect for our family of eight adults and three children (8 and under). We had a wonderful stay which included dolphin watching, building sand structures, crabbing at night and the grandchildren loved the little pool. The house was clean and welcoming. Communication with the owner was excellent. Would highly recommend this property.

Had a great stay. 9 adults and 7 kids. Beach is about 100 steps. Have added a picture of the pool. It is small but the kids had a blast. In the picture you’ll see 8, 10, and 12 year olds. Gives you a little insight on the pool. Everything you need to cook with is available. Host was always available. Would not hesitate to book again.
