Fort Sun, East. Gorgeous 7BR Beachfront. Extra fridges. Private Pool! Sleeps 24.

Fort Sun, East Unit
2398 Ponce de Leon

Fort Sun! Super fun! And a great value too, especially for such a big, BEACHFRONT, place, with a private pool per side.

Located on Fort Morgan, Fort Sun 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.

2x 7BR 5.5BA. Beachfront duplex. Extra fridges. Pool! Accommodates 24, 48 in both sides! This listing is for one side, the EAST unit.

BRAND NEW VIRTUAL TOUR POSTED for both sides. Check it out. Latest art is the virtual tour.

This listing is for ONE side, the EAST side, of a 2x7BR duplex. Nice big beach. Sleeps 24 per side. Private pool PER SIDE, sheltered under the home. No sharing with the other side. HUGE wide open beach area! You can also stay in the EAST side, or both sides together.

Located beachfront in Fort Morgan. Sleep a whole crew. Save! Fort Morgan is a deal with 7% less taxes and more affordable rates. Same great beaches as Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. Less $ and less people! Also, less rules! You CAN leave your stuff out overnight / longer and not worry about the Leave Only Footprints beach patrols in GSOB which WILL take your stuff never to be seen again (of course, leaving anything is subject to some risk, but its guaranteed to be gone in GS or OB!).

7BR 5.5BA. Beachfront duplex. Extra fridges. Pool! Accommodates 24, 48 in both sides!

Fort Sun sleeps 24 people on each side. Fort Sun East has 7 Bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms (5 of which are FULL baths!). The unit is well accommodated, and high accommodating:

BEDDING:
3rd Floor N Bedroom 2 Queens
3rd Floor Middle Bedroom: Twin over Full Bunk + Twin Bunk
3rd Floor S Bedroom: King
4th Floor N Bedroom A: Queen
4th Floor N Bedroom B: 2 Fulls
4th Floor S Bedroom A: King
4th Floor S Bedroom B: 2 Fulls

Living Room Queen Sleeper Sofa

*Please note Bedrooms with A/B are suites, with bedrooms B being connected to and only accessible through A respectively.

POOL? You Bet!
Private pool PER SIDE, sheltered under the home. No sharing with the other side. HUGE wide open beach area! The pool is open all year, and is 16x16' L-Shape, 3-4' deep.

The homes share a deck that takes you down to the expansive white sand beach. Plenty of room for beach volleyball or whatever moves your group!

A secure, interconnecting doorway allows large groups to use both sides of this lovely home to host up to 48 people!

PARKING
There is available onsite parking for at least 4 cars per side. Good stackers can pull off more. Bad stackers? Well, not so much!

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!

SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, 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 drip coffee makers and most now have Keurigs as well.

No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

Fishing and fun at Fort Sun

Everything was great. We enjoyed our time and appreciate how smooth everything was. Caught a ton of fish out on the beach right in front of the house too. Quite a bit of pompano, whiting, and blue runners. Thanks for the hospitality!

This property was great for our large family. The beach was clean and we had it to ourselves for the majority of our stay. Activities, attractions, & shopping was just an easy 20-30 mins away. 10/10 definitely recommend.

This was a perfect set up for our family.

This was a wonderful location and they said it was perfect. Very roomy and clean. Had a couple of issues with the Internet and it was addressed properly. The only thing I would add is a couple of steps going off of the deck to the beach as it is a large drop off

It was fun, family enjoyed themselves. Great location beach wise. Only downfall, how bedrooms were laid out and not much living space/ (size of living room) for a large family. All in all great place.

Very enjoyable vacation at Fort Sun

Our stay in your beach house was overall very enjoyable. We loved the easy beach access and enjoyed the pool. We also loved that we didn't have to worry about putting the trash cans on the road, and that we didn't have to do much cleaning up to leave. We were a little dismayed that access to two of the bedrooms was only through other bedrooms. We worked it out, but I can imagine that for some families this could be a problem. Again, overall a very enjoyable vacation. Thanks!

Wonderful beach, place, and stay

Thank you so much for a wonderful week! This beach is beautiful!I meant to email you earlier in the week but it slipped my mind. We wanted to let you know the garbage disposal did not work which caused the sink to back up. We plunged it and it went down but wanted to let you know. One of the bed supports in the bunk room was broke too. The kids didn't tell us until we were getting ready to leave. Again, thank you for a wonderful stay!!!

Large Group 👍

The place had plenty of rooms for the five families that stayed with children ranging from 2-18. The master bedroom on the third floor only had a jet tub which wasn’t convenient for the family who stayed in that room. The other bathrooms all had shower/tub combos. The beach area was clean and was easily assessed from the home being just steps away. The pool is on the small side but worked great for the kiddos or to jump into to cool off from being at the beach. It was great having two refrigerators but the door shelves did fall out easily. There was plenty of seating for everyone at dinner time with the bar and two tables. The outside patio furniture was in great shape and was good quality. Overall, we had a great stay with no problems to reports to the property manager.

Great Beachfront House

The house was exactly what we expected based on the listing! Super nice to be right on the beach and the Fort Morgan area has a very nice and relaxed feel to it. The kids loved the pool but it was a little small for all 19 of us (we knew it would be small based on pictures though). The local company was quick to respond to texts about needed items in the kitchen and brought them the next morning. Check in was super easy. Lots of emails and communication that was helpful. Fort Morgan is kind of in the boonies (30 minute drive to Gulf Shores from Fort Sun) but makes the beach less crowded. We enjoyed our stay!

Amazing vacation!!

This duplex is made for our extended family. There is a door that connects the two units, Fort Sun East and West. That allowed us privacy with easy accessibility to our cousins. We loved all the bathrooms and bedrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, and two refrigerators was very nice. Property manager was easy to contact. We have already booked for next year!!

Another great stay!

Fort Sun was as described and was a great fit for our extended family. Plenty of room. Views were awesome and the beach is a short walk right off the back of the house. The owners are kind and easy to communicate with--we have stayed in several of their places! Highly recommend!
