Steps from the beach

Tony is an amazing host. He went out of his way to accommodate our family. The house was perfect for our extended family. We were steps from the beach and had beautiful views in every room.

Perfection

The house was amazing, clean and welcoming. The host was so accommodating and made our stay perfect. House was right on the beach, only 15 mins or so to Gulf Shores town center but easily accessible to our needs. We loved the house and it came well stocked with all the things we needed as far as utensils and basic supplies. We will definitely be booking again

ShipWatch North Vacation

Tony's beach house is large, comfortable and close to the beach front. We love having the open porch on the ground floor that is always shady and has a breeze. We put an X-pen across the stairs to block in the dogs. They love being outside with room to play. This is our 4th stay here, so I think that says everything! We love staying here.

Family get away

We had 8 adults and 4 children all 3 years old or younger. We loved the house. Host was awesome! even called half way through stay to check in and make sure everything was going well. Definitely recommend having a 4wd truck or suv because the beach has washed up but wasn’t no problem for us. We will definitely be back!!

Family friendly

A great space for everyone to spread out, yet enjoy one another’s company! Our family included 6 adults, a 16 y/o, 10 y/o, and a 6 y/o. The property is right on the beach, making it so easy to relax, as well as go in for meals at your leisure. We watched dolphins play from our balcony, and many stingrays when the water was calm. A wagon was provided to carry belongings. The house overall was well stocked. Tony was very helpful. Thanks for allowing us to stay.

On the sand

The 5 bedrooms & 4 baths were great for our family group! There was also plenty of space for us to all eat our meals together. Plenty of sand toys & 3 boogie borders made beach play easy. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, flatware, & dishes. Wonderful seats on the balcony to enjoy the views. Bring your own toilet paper, paper towels, etc. We never got the king bedroom TV to function properly. Overall, it was a great week for our family.

Perfect beach house!

This house is so nice! It has so much room and a great layout. The kitchen was very well-stocked. The balconies and deck were spacious. It's the second house from the beach, and the steps from the deck are literally on the sand. Tony was great to work with. Highly recommend!

Spring break

Pictures online definitely need to be updated, house is nothing like the pictures. House needs some TLC. You can tell it’s a investment property. But if you are looking for a house that is literally steps away from the beach this is it! It’s nothing fancy but the location it is everything. Otherwise my family and I had a great stay!

Would stay here again

Our family loved this house. It is not the one in the front as the picture shows, but it is the one right behind it and you have views of the ocean from everywhere and you are literally steps from the beach. The pictures need updated because I felt the house was actually better than the pictures portrayed. The bedrooms are roomy and 3 of them have their own bathroom with the other two being directly across from or right down the hallway from the other bathroom. The layout is perfect for a big family. I have no complaints and would recommend this house to anyone.

We decided to rent a house this year, due to the size of our growing family. Best decision ever! We loved the house. There was plenty of room so we didn’t feel crowded. Stepping off the deck right onto the beach was awesome. We plan on staying here again next year! Tony was great to work with!

OVERALL GREAT PLACE AND LOCATION

Property was not clean as expected-with the cleaning fee that is charged you would think housekeeping would do better job - swept up 2 piles of sand, dirt, hair in downstairs area on day of arrival, the stove needs a good cleaning cleaned and wiped inside best I could, there is mold in upstairs area several places that needs addressed the small chair in living room was broke (when you would sit in it would turn over) and the chair has been this way for 4 years as my inlaws stayed here about 4 year ago and stated same issue - but we fixed it -other than that the house is in nice location and we had a great week.

Great beach house

We all enjoyed our week at Fort Morgan. It was so easy and convenient being right on the beach. The house was well kept with plenty of extras and kitchen supplies for cooking, grilling and serving a large group. There were also plenty of beach toys for the kids to play with. We would highly recommend this property for a great week at the beach.
