Modern, Beachfront & Pet Friendly

Highlights

The one thing Beach Shack isn't is a Shack! This gorgeous cottage has just undergone a total transformation and you will not believe your eyes. The first thing you'll notice is the brand new, expansive decking that runs the entire width of the house. Imagine yourself sitting right there at the water's edge enjoying that morning coffee or evening cocktail. Plenty of high-end deck furniture so there is comfortable seating for all. There's even a bar height table and chairs in the event you choose to dine al fresco. Pro-Tip: Listen for the roar of the Blue Angels. You'll have a front row seat as these skillful pilots practice their maneuvers and formations along the coastline.

The Space

But the view doesn't stop at the deck! Step inside to the fresh, new living room with all new windows, flooring and furniture. This is the perfect spot for TV watching, hanging out or gazing at the phenomenal view just outside. You'll find a large dining table with seating for 6 and the counter provides additional seating for 5 so your entire group can dine at the same time.

The kitchen is a showstopper with designer granite, stainless appliances and a farmhouse sink. You'll really appreciate the finishing touches that Beach Shack provides for those nights when you choose to dine in.

Beach Shack offers 3 bedrooms. There is a King bedroom with a private bath (stand up shower) and a second King Room that shares the hall bath (tub/shower combination) with the bunk room. The bunk room contains a Full over Full bunk bed. There is also a sleeper sofa that provides additional sleeping space.

Main floor: King bedroom w/ en suite; King bedroom; Full/Full bunk bedroom; 1 sleeper sofas; Hall Bath

Fort Morgan

Located a scenic 15 miles from Gulf Shores, you'll find everything you need close at hand. Dollar General and Sassy Bass Market are just a few miles away and have all the basics you might need. There are several restaurants nearby offering a variety of tasty dishes. Tacky Jack's, Sassy Bass (2 locations), Coast and brand-new Jesse's (opening soon) to name a few. Some venues even offer live, local entertainment.

Fort Morgan fishing pier is now open, and anglers will have access to convenient inshore fishing and the abundant species locally available.

Be sure and visit nearby Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge with over 7,000 acres of coastal habit. You'll be able to hike through the preserve and observe local flora and fauna. There are 4 trails, varying in size and terrain, and you'll definitely want to make time to visit this natural oasis.

Snowbird friendly. Inquire for special rates.

Perfect Relaxing Retreat
We really enjoyed our stay at the beach shack. The location on the beach was perfect for a quiet, relaxing vacation. The house had everything we needed. Check in was a breeze. We had no issues the whole trip. If you do want to goto Gulf Shores the drive is super simple, but takes about 20ish min. We spent most of our time on the porch watching the ocean and the birds. Staying in November is nice because there are so few people. We barely saw anyone on the beach. The weather was still warm ebough to enjoy our time outdoors. I would recommend to others wanting to stay in a house on the beach.

Anniversary getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay at Beach Shack. The location is amazing! Even though the weather was less than perfect, we spent most of our time on the porch. There's something therapeutic about laying in a comfy bed at night, listening to ocean waves.The house is bright and cheery and we've recommended it to several of our friends.

Perfect Beach Getaway
The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. The location right on the beach was wonderful. So, of course, the views were amazing whether inside the house or sitting out in the covered deck. We loved it, just the thing we were looking for…a beautiful beach getaway.

Great location
Location on the beach was perfect. Away from the crowds of orange beach. House was nice. Bedrooms are small, not much room for luggage. But living/kitchen area was very spacious and updated. We loved watching the dolphins in the ocean in the mornings from our porch. Great location. Would stay here again.

Great spot and beach access
Had a great experience. My only negative is that upon check in the placed smelled a bit like animals. Went to store and purchased glade plug in and candles and neutralizer spray and that took care of it. Everything met expectations and we had a wonderful time and would stay there again.

Cute beach cottage. It is a great little cottage for families. Not a lot of room but if you’re on the beach you won’t mind it! Love the area with no high rises so beach isn’t crowded.

House was outstanding inside and out. We instantly felt at home inside. We loved the view of the gulf. The beach was perfect and just steps away. We spent hours on the deck enjoying the sound of the ocean. We would love to come back.

Perfect spot right on the beach
This cottage was perfect for us and our little ones! We were right on the beach and felt like we had a huge beach space all to ourselves. Close enough to a couple places to eat and a dollar general right up the road for any necessities we left behind. Can’t wait to come back to Fort Morgan!
