The property was great for morning walks on the beach and listening to the waves at night after spending the day in Gulf Shores. Michael, the host, was easy to communicate with and was there to assist when we had a hiccup with the houses A/C. We would definitely stay here again!

KatsMeow is facing the peaceful beach in Fort Morgan with beautiful views. We enjoyed watching the dolphins along with the sun rise and sun set. Just steps to the beach and pool. Housekeeping needs to tighten up some but still clean. We never got the upstairs TVs to work but wasn't a major issue. Great accomodations with great value. Looking forward to next summer.

Wonderful Place!

Kats Meow was wonderful - my family misses it already! For anyone looking to be just outside the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores, while still having access to it, look no further. We comfortably parked four cars. The private outdoor shower and patio areas were great. I didn’t think we would need two refrigerators, but we did. Would recommend to anyone.

Nice place

We really enjoyed our stay. The Kats Meow was roomy and clean when we arrived. The host had lots of beach supplies stored up for our use. This was helpful for those who flew down and couldn’t bring their own. The four bathrooms were very helpful too and it was decorated very beachy!

Perfect Beachfront Stay for Our Big Family!

We had an amazing time with our family of 13 across three generations. The beachfront location with a beach walkway and resort pool right outside the door was unbeatable. The downstairs deck with a grill and picnic table was perfect for gathering, and the open floor plan and big kitchen with a beach view made meals easy and enjoyable. Plenty of space, great views, and everything we needed for a fun and relaxing stay!!!

Couldn’t be beat!

The house was perfect for our party of 4 adults and 6 kids ages 5-13. The location was the best….right on the beach, right next to the boardwalk and one of the pools. The rooms were perfect for our needs! It is well stocked in the kitchen and we had everything we needed for our meals. The outdoor shower was so nice and helpful! It was a great trip….we even got to see the heron a couple of days.

Nice place to stay!

Overall it was a nice place to stay. It could have been cleaned a bit better (dirty towel still hanging from the door, hair in the shower). Good communication with Mike. Quickly got a repair done while we were there (broken railing). Nice complex, with other places available for those that don't fit/want to stay in the same house.

Great view of the ocean

Great family vacay! House was close to the pool and boardwalk to get out onto the beach. Still a bit of a hike to get out there to set up tents but closer than the rest of the units. Nice shaded area under the house for grilling. Large picnic table that accommodated most everyone. 2 refrigerators which was a huge bonus for us. Limited space in living room for all of us to fit & some of the furniture was definitely quite used & not as comfy. 4 bedrooms upstairs and 1 downstairs. Bathroom situation upstairs was a bit of a scramble but we managed. Not sure it was as clean as we would’ve expected but wasn’t gross by any means. Overall was a nice enough place to stay. For reference we had 9 adults and 2 kids.

Fantastic vacation spot!

Such a great location!! Loved the view, loved the easy beach access, loved the pool, it was so fun! We go to the gulf shores every two years as a family vacation, and Ft. Morgan is awesome, to be away from the crowds and a beach that is not packed. We will definitely be returning!

About the host

Hosted by Mike

Host profile image
Mike and Kathryn (Kat) welcome you to our beach home.

Why they chose this property

We found the people and beaches of Gulf Shores to be hidden gems. The location offers solitude or fun and games at your whim.

What makes this property unique

The views from the balconies are outstanding. There is abundant wildlife and even nesting sea turtles in season. Look for our pal, the big Blue Heron. He likes to perch on the balconies. The dolphins can be seen most days playing in the surf. There is nothing better than sitting on the deck with a cool drink watching the sun slip into the ocean.
