Awesome views of the Gulf, Easy walk to the beach and Private Pool!

Shore Thing Beach House is a very nice 3 bedroom-2 bath house featuring a beautiful 12 x 28 private HEATED swimming pool (November - April. $50 per day), surrounded by a 25 x 40 sun deck. This home offers the best of both worlds. You can spend the day at the beach frolicking in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico & playing in the sand or, if you prefer, you have access to your own private pool. The deck provides awesome views of both Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico and is perfect for sun bathing. When you come back from the beach be sure to rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower with both hot & cold water. Morning sunrises to late night talks can be spent on the covered front porch which offers plenty of seating and three rocking chairs. Other amenities include Satellite TV, TV’s & DVD’s in all bedrooms and living room, an outdoor grill and a very well stocked kitchen.

Of the 3 bedrooms, the master bedroom has a king size bed; bedroom 2 has a queen size bed and bedroom 3 has a queen & twin size bed. The living room has a queen size sleeper sofa. Sleeps 9.

Family Friendly Beach House!

We had a wonderful stay at this house! The owner was incredibly friendly and quick to respond when we had a minor issue — it was resolved right away, which we really appreciated. The house itself was spotless and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is fantastic — just a short walk to the beach — and the views from the front porch were absolutely beautiful. Enjoying our morning coffee while looking out over the scenery was a highlight of the trip. Highly recommend!

Wonderful week of family relaxation.

We have stayed here for multiple vacations, and usually with a larger group, including younger family members. Check-in and check-outs are so simple and Communication with the owner is easily available. This facility is always clean and provides many essentials. The kitchen has all the cookware needed, and there is an outside grill available. The large front porch provides an excellent view of the beach , which is literally across the street. But the great pool is one of the things that keeps us coming back. Someone is in it constantly. There is also great restaurants and shopping areas close by. Love the place, and we will be returning to enjoy it all again.

Shorething was a perfect Spring Break Getaway!

Mick was friendly from the moment I booked and continued to respond quickly when I had any questions. The house was perfect for our family & grandparents. The kids loved the heated pool and the very short walk to the beach. The outdoor shower with hot water is what every beach house is missing! I kept the kids shampoo out there and would go ahead and bathe all three when leaving the beach. Fort Morgan is so peaceful-none of the spring break crowd.

We had a wonderful stay here! Very clean, and the pool was great! So close to the beach. The owners are friendly and responsive. Not sure if it was the time of year we stayed or if it is always this quiet and uncrowded, but it was amazing! We hope to stay again!
