Main cottage consists of two private bedrooms (each with a queen bed), a full bathroom, and a pull out sofa in the living room for additional sleeping space. The separate guest cottage suite includes an efficiency kitchen, combined living/bedroom area (king bed), and luxury bathroom. Main cottage has a quaint screened porch for relaxing and enjoying the views. Kitchen has granite countertops, all new appliances, and is equipped with everything needed to prep and serve a meal. Enjoy the peacefulness of the Ft Morgan peninsula at this location while only 15 minutes away from all that Gulf Shores has to offer. Championship golf and fishing charters within 10 miles.

Clean and cozy!
This rental was literally all we needed on our trip! The house itself is kind of small but the comfort and cleanliness made up for that 10 fold! The ac was able to keep up with the sweltering heat of the Gulf which in my experience with rentals is unheard of. The tiny house was a perfect place for my traveling teenagers! It gave them a sense of being on their own without being unsupervised. They were able to go and come freely in and out without disturbing grumpy seniors in the main house. The house itself is nestled on the bay. Not too far away from Gulf shores and all the things to be done. The beach isn't too far as well. I particularly liked the bay. Dolphins would visit in the evenings which made it so much more special. All in all the experience was amazing. 10/10 would stay again.

Exactly as described and pictured
This is a wonderful place to stay. We really enjoyed our visit. The house and the smaller cottage are just as described and pictured in the listing. The host communicates extremely well when you book and with check in/ check out instructions. You can even see the dolphins playing and jumping in the water right from the house, and enjoying fishing on your own private pier ! The only thing I will say is that I would not suggest this property for folks traveling with young children for as you can see in the pictures there are no safety railings on the pier and a child could easily as well run right off the edge of the yard and fall onto the rocks into the water about a good 5 foot drop. The bathtub in the guest cottage needs some sort of an anti slip installed on the bottom of the tub. The tub is very deep and hard to get out of once in it. All in all we had a great stay and plan on returning when the weather is a bit cooler and not when it is in the mid 90's , LOL

Recent stay
The location is fantastic! The property manager is great. The AC works really well in both houses. The cottage was clean. The main house was not as clean as it should have been. There were spiderwebs in the corners. The pier is not conducive to swimming, there is no ladder to get out of the water with. I found this to be a hazard if someone falls in. The kitchen has no tuber ware, knives are rusty and scissors were broken. It smelled like someone had fried food in the main house. The neighbor came over to let us know he had called the owner to let them know we had a dog which we paid for to come. He was not very friendly… Both houses had ants (we went and got any spray to kill them) The porch is gross and not clean at all. Hope this helps.

We had an absolutely great time. 2 little bungalows me my husband and my 2 youngest children stayed in the house and my oldest daughter and her family stayed in the outside bungalow. Everything was great, very clean. We love the dock. Love the sound of the water in the morning. Things were great.

House on the Bay
We had a wonderful time at the house. We spent quite a bit of time just sitting there looking out at the bay and watching the pelicans and osprey dive for fish. Often a blue heron would come to visit as well. It was just very relaxing. Location was great for us. Bon Secour is just a few miles away where you can either walk the trails or go fishing. The house is located right across from the Sassy Bass convenience store and just blocks away from Jesse’s, which serves some of the best food in the area. Shonna, the host, was also very responsive to any questions we had.

Blue Crab Stay
Nice quiet place & dog friendly. However, no access to the water (no railings/ladder), bathroom is tiny with no where to put anything-would be nice to have some shelves and house was not very clean-baseboards & window seals had dirt caked on them and the sunroom was very dirty. This could be a very nice property if it were cleaned from top to bottom once in a while and it the dock was upgraded to have access to the water. Even though there were these issues we made the best of it and had a wonderful time!

Exactly what we were hoping it would be
The two cottages met our needs perfectly. Pier is so convenient for fishing, sunset, lightning show, relaxing. Beach access just a couple miles away. Away from all of the noise and confusion. Would suggest adding adding a second picnic table for the main cottage. Already planning another family gathering to stay here.

My new favorite place
This place was nothing short of some quality time much needed and true r&r! I loved everything about this little gem, small, cute and quiet! The guest house was perfect for a couple! And the privacy! I'm that extra mom and brought all my household stuff with me, but totally not needed. She provides basic starter essentials and there is a DG just down the road for anything else. If you don't want to be front and center with all the tourist stuff and busyness this is the place for you! I could go on and on.....Fort Morgan was just perfect for us and we will definitely be returning!
