Gorgeous and peaceful location. We loved the ocean/ beach and how easy it was to walk to. It was very relaxing and quiet with few people. The pool was an added bonus especially for our kiddo. Seriously can’t wait to take another vacation here.

This house was the perfect location to the beach for our little family. The beds were the most comfortable beds we’ve slept in at a VRBO house. The only thing we wished would have been better was the grill. It was an old rusted charcoal grill that we decided was not worth trying to use, so consider bringing your own. Other than that, it was a great stay!

Back to the Beach

The host was so responsive. The house was a very easy walk to the beach. The property was very clean. I would definitely stay again. Access to the pool is good for those evenings that you just want to swim as well as an invitation to meet neighbors. The wrap around porch is amazing so that you sit on one side in the morning and the other side in the evenings.

Such a peaceful beach home

This house was perfect! All the beds were extremely comfortable nice pillows. The teens stayed upstairs bedrooms and had the balconies up there while us adults and little one stayed downstairs bedroom had an extra air conditioning unit in that room that kept it sooooo cool which I loved. It’s steps away from the actual beach and the pool was literally right below!!! Perfect place and was so tidy and clean when we got there. I would rent again

Hidden Gem!

This was a wonderful house, in the wonderful “hidden gem” area of Fort Morgan. The drive is not long at all from Gulf Shores, and the trade off is a very peaceful, less people and less crowded experience on and around the beach, restaurants and area in general. The house is beautiful and updated and has any amenity you could want, and is just steps away from a very uncrowded beach for your family to enjoy. The owner is super nice and very responsive to messages. I have zero complaints about this great find! You will not regret staying here.

Good location, needs some work

The home was located very close to the ocean which was great. Accommodations were more basic than expected and the house could use some work. The pool is also close but not heated and not clean. The grill was completely rusted and spindles up the stairs were loose/broken. We understand the salt water is rough on surfaces like this but if we had young kids, I would be very nervous about the stairs. The home was not overly clean. Shower curtains stained/dingey and shower walls did not appear clean. Only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom and one roll of paper towels which used up quick.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Apr 2025
Thank you for the time it took to write a review. After coming to the house there was one spindle that had fallen down, it is now fixed, we don’t advertise a heated pool, the grill is made of tin so any length of time will cause some rusting especially down on the coast. The house is exactly like the pictures. If the tub walls weren’t clean, I’m truly sorry. We start every guest out with enough paper products to start their stay. On your future rentals it would be courteous to notify the owners so they can try to address the issues. We try hard to maintain our 5 star review.

Peaceful Home, Great Cul-de-sac, Quiet Beach

Sisters is a peaceful home tucked away on a great cul-de-sac. Home is a short walk to the beach. It is beautifully decorated and has a spacious deck. The front deck faces the morning sun making it an enjoyable place to drink coffee and read a book before starting your day. There are numerous windows providing a nice view but also outfitted with heavy drapes to keep the house cooler. Master bedroom with king sized bed downstairs. Two bedrooms upstairs (one with king sized bed and a great upper deck) and the other (with a queen sized bed and small deck with view off the back of the house). Beds are comfortable. TVs in each room. Washer and dryer provided! Large TV in living room. Comfortable sofas and chairs. Large table with a beautiful bench provides lots of space for the family to eat together. House is great for kids and has a pack n play and high chair provided. Cul-de-sac and beach are quiet. We heard owls one night and enjoyed watching an osprey flying and fishing during the day. House is a short drive from Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge where we were able to hike and bird/butterfly watch. House is close to the Sassy Bass fish market and restaurant where we purchased fresh fish and shrimp for cooking and also dined at the restaurant. Highly recommend and would happily stay again!

Thank you for the taking the time to post a review!! We are so glad that you enjoyed staying at our property. This property was just put on the market July of 2016, so, we are still stocking the house and getting it ready to be a great rental. We are having new counter tops being installed in early November. Please remember us for your next visit to the coast. The Sisters Linda, Karen, Terri

About the host

Hosted by Karen Gable

Host profile image
Traveling is a way of life that our parents instilled in us. Nothing is better than spending time with the ones you love. We found this house and decided to help others enjoy quiet, and peaceful time with family and friends. Hope you enjoy this place as much as we have.

Why they chose this property

We love the location. 40 yards away from the beautiful beach. This house sits next door to two other properties that we own. We now have a pool that is built between "Sisters" and "Sugar Shack". The pool is for all 3 properties in this cul-de-sac to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

We currently have 2 other houses on this cul-de-sac and enjoy the benefits of having 3 houses to rent out for large events. VRBO 12372 and VRBO 738238
