Located on Fort Morgan, Beach Castle is close to many restaurants, golf courses, and other things to do, feels away from it all (but is only a short drive to all the hubbub on Gulf Shores itself), and is often a more cost-efficient choice for those who seek something a little more laid back. Plus, as an added bonus, our Fort Morgan vacation homes are not currently subject to the same restrictions on setting up umbrellas and other amenities overnight as those in Gulf Shores itself.
TWO REFRIGERATORS Two? Per side? Yes two. Because you won't want to stay somewhere without an extra fridge once you have had them.
POOL Big. Private to the two sides of the duplex: no sharing with other places nearby. The pool is open all year. It's big! 30x15x3-5'! Rectangle. Lounge chairs are provided around the pool.
WIFI/INTERNET YES! We have an awesome Eero mesh network to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home!? That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like? It is generally solid and ran > 100Mb down the last test--sufficient for several simultaneous video conference sessions for remote work and education. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests "troubleshooting" it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though, and likely better since its close in and new construction!
PARKING There is available onsite, offstreet, parking for at least 6 midsize vehicles (per side), more if you stack well. In duplex units, please be neighborly about this.
SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, GRILLS ETC ETC As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a "starter supply" of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, grills are not provided, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have both drip coffee makers and Keurigs as well.
PETS We do consider well-behaved canine furry friends at many locations. This requires owner pre-approval, and is subject to a pet fee (currently $250 per pet). Approval in a duplex location, especially for peak weeks, generally is only available for guests renting both sides of the duplex. Please inquire.
No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

Great view of the beach with easy access. The pool was a great addition and there was tons of room for our group ( 12 adults w/ 6 kids 4 of which were under 1)
We loved our stay at Beach Castle Westwith extended family. Our crew of 20 had so much space, and rooms for all the kids. The location on the beach is fantastic and not crowded at all. Try Tacky Jacks in Fort Morgan for great food and sunset views. The owners were great to work with. We hope to return again next year!!

Enjoyed my stay
Loved being able to stay for almost two months this fall. Nice and relaxing on the beach. Beach Castle was in great shape after last years hurricane Sally. Thanks for having me again!
The house was better than expected. Everything was clean and organized. The pool area was nice and the beach was not crowded and it was clean. It is a little out of Gulf Shores but enjoyed the quiet, non crowed location. Could not have asked for better. We will stay there when we visit again. The owners corresponded quickly if I had questions which I really appreciated. Thank you for the use of your home!

Amazing beach!!!
Big, very clean. Comfortable. We had the beach to ourselves, seemed that way anyway. And great big pool. Thank you so much for having us.
Great property with awesome view. Plenty of beds and bathrooms! Easy to cook for and feed our large group. Some of the furniture in the main living area was outdated and unstable, a couple of the sinks were leaking and a shower door was difficult to use but we alerted the company about those things.

Beach Castle was WONDERFUL
Our stay in your beautiful home was wonderful. The pool was fantastic as well. We had no problems. Had BOTH the east and west sides. Plenty of room for everyone. We have rented large houses in the Gulf Shores area before but by far this one was the best. Everyone had a great time. Thank you so much.

Beach Castle and Bama Beach Houses
We had a great time. Beach Castle was the perfect setup for my family, and Bama Beach Houses was extremely helpful throughout booking, even letting us modify our payment plan throughout the year which helped more than you can understand. This was a once in a lifetime trip, though we do hope that it might be able to happen again in 5-10 years! Thank you again for being so helpful!

Fantastic owners!
Beach Castle was nice. This was our second year. But what really shined: the owners and their management team. There was an issue with a leak in the home, and the owners went over and above in order to be sure we were okay and that it did not disrupt us. A special shoutout to Haleigh and David too for being so nice too! This was the kind of service that will bring us back for many years! Thank you!

Would love to return again!
My family and I stayed on the West side of the house and friends stayed on the East. The location was great, the house was right on the water, which gave us amazing views and were even able to watch the dolphins in the morning. Having the pool at the house was also great for days we couldn't get to the beach (windy and cloudy days). The house was clean with only some minor issues that were taken care of right away when we called. There were a lot of us on the trip and with the house being so huge, we never felt crowded or cramped. Would definitely recommend and would love to return again someday!

So peaceful
We've stayed in several of Rick and Susan's places. Beach Castle was the biggest. We liked the seclusion a little more than the SeaRae, which is right in the hubbub of Gulf Shores, by Hangout, though we still think our favorite is Dancing Dolphin, but its smaller. We would definitely come back to Beach Castle though for its "away from it all" vibe! Everything was in great shape for our trip too, no issues at all. Had to call the management company, BamaBeachHouses, for a coffee maker that stopped working, and they brought one of same day!

We loved Beach Castle (West)
We used the pool a lot with small children and higher than normal tides. That is a bummer for me as I want to be right in the ocean every day! I did get in a couple days. We absolutely loved the Beach Castle. The kids loved the pool & so did the parents & grandparents with the high seas. Thanks so much!
[Glad to hear you had a wonderful time in BC. Shoot us a note if you have any suggestions whatsover, or when ready to set up the return trip! Thank you Sarah!]

Favorite week of the year
Everything was wonderful this year except that the flew by so fast! There were 33 of us again this year between the East and West sides. A few from last year couldn't make it, but we also added a couple of new ones. The sand and the water were sooo clean and clear. And comparing it to SGI were we spent 10 summers, we've all decided that you all have the best beach by far! We are already set up to return next summer. This is all of ours favorite week of the year and are counting the sleeps until next summer. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Beach Castle West
We had a great family vacation in Fort Morgan! The house was perfect for our needs. We do not have a return time set yet but I will definitely reach out when/if we decide to do this again.
We were able to get ALL of our kids and grandkids together when we stayed in Fort Morgan at Beach Castle (the west side). I am very thankful for the memories that we made. We had a gender reveal the first night! We have a granddaughter due in Nov!! This will make our 9th grandchild :) Time spent together with family makes my heart so full!
Again, the house is beautiful and it fit our family of 22 like a glove. We made great memories and we enjoyed every minute if it. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Awesome!
Beach Castle West was absolutely fabulous. The living area felt much more spacious than we were expecting, especially after staying at summertide the previous year.
The separate floor HVAC setup was pretty fantastic too.
One thing we always look for is closet space (lots of pack n plays and naps happening at our stage of life) and several of the rooms had plentiful space to hold the kiddos.
It was awesome! [Thanks Hannah! Appreciate the review and kind words, and that you all loved BC. I totally get the "find a place for pack n plays"--I'm past that, but remember it well. I know you guys have bounced around my homes... glad BC worked well for this trip!
This was an unusual May trip. You usually have come in August, right?! Need a place for then? Its pretty busy, but I can poke around for you all!
Thank you! And happy 4th (and summer) to you as well!]

'Snowbirding' at Beach Castle West
We love Beach Castle West. The new washer and dryer are like awesome, the best, my sister wants a set- thank you. Although a duplex you really do not feel like it is. I have been so grateful for the maintenance responses. Although not sure it would be warm enough- a few brave souls have loved the pool and it does look lovely. The beach and ocean are the star here. I would like to discuss rental for next February. We celebrated my Mom's 98 th in style and hope to be able to celebrate her 99 th at the beach. I have not looked at the dates yet and we can be a bit flexible. I just want to end with how much we have enjoyed each his home. Love the pictures, the flexibility of the rooms, the beds sleep well, sheets are good and well stocked kitchen for cooking. The 2 dishwashers are amazing to have. Thanks for letting us use this lovely Beach paradise.
