Lovely Beachfront Getaway ~ Steps To The Water ~ Fantastic Ocean Views!

Enjoy the beautiful sandy beaches and see the dolphins while relaxing in a rocking chair in the covered back patio. This lovely beachfront getaway cottage sleeps 8-10 comfortably in one king-size bed, one queen-size bed and 4 bunk beds, with two full-size sofas in the family room (they do not fold out, but people can sleep on them).

Replaced flooring and sofas in January, 2022. We removed the tile and installed a waterproof laminate - so far guest feedback has been very positive. We also replaced the roof in 2021, and the ocean-side windows in 2020. It never ends!

Family-friendly, clean and very unique as it is surrounded by palm trees and other Gulf Coast vegetation. Large screen television with DVD and Roku (streaming). There are no paid-for television channels (streaming only).

Guests frequently rent both sides of the Duplex (Dolphin West and Sea Turtle East) if they wish to have more bedrooms, yet have two separate living areas (one side for Grandparents, and the other side for young children, etc.) - total capacity on both sides is 20, with six bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Renting both sides at once is frequently more economical than renting a comparable 6 bedroom home (with only one living area) in Fort Morgan.

We deal with many repeat visitors, which is the best testimonial of all. We are confident that once you visit our home, we will be seeing you again and again . . .

The property was great! Easy check-in, kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots & pans, coffee maker, and toaster. The Duplex was well cleaned and is right on the water which is a plus. There were neighbors on the other side of the Duplex, and we could not hear them at all. I would stay here again.

Enjoyed our week here. Nice to have a spot right on the beach without large crowds. House was clean and beds were comfy. Especially LOVED that the back deck was covered! The family really enjoyed sitting in the Adirondack rocking chairs without being in direct sun- able to enjoy a nice breeze and view of the ocean.

My family was looking for a quiet spring break getaway and found just that! The beach was peaceful and clean. The house was so lovely and accommodating. We had one little hiccup which Keith handled immediately. I could not be happier with our experience!

Wonderful Beach Vacation

We had an excellent vacation in Fort Morgan, AL! The side of the townhouse we stayed in was called Dolphin West and we enjoyed a lovely and spacious home away from home. It was our third time staying there, and it has been great each time. Every time, we see some updating to the property. The owner and his staff are keeping it well maintained. Any issue or question that may come up is responded to in a timely manner. Our family of four enjoyed the king bed and the kids loved the bunk beds. There is nothing like sitting on the porch drinking coffee and splitting your time between looking 10 steps down to where your little ones are playing in sand on the beach, and looking straight out to the ocean to see the dolphins swim past your little spot of paradise!

We loved our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this property. We were looking for a spot away from the crowds and this was definitely it!!! The walk to the beach is just a few short steps. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and all appliances worked just fine. we had plenty of towels, our bed in the primary bedroom was comfortable. The second bedroom was missing a comforter but we weren’t too bothered. We had lovely neighbors for the week who we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know. It was nice to make friends but if that’s not your jam, the outdoor areas are separate enough to feel like you have your own space. Keith was quick to respond to our questions. Overall I would say this is a no frills, affordable place to stay and we would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location. Just walk out the door and right on the beach. It was great for my elderly mom since walking on the sand is hard for her. Communication with Keith was great. We had a very relaxing week even with the stormy weather.
