Map & Owner's Profile
Ft. Morgan Beach House,Gulf/Bay Views,Uncrowded Beach,Hidef TV
Year Purchased: 1998
Why the Owner Chose Homes, Single Family
We built our Beach House, Windward, in 1998. Cindy and I started managing it in January 2008 when we listed it on VRBO and HomeAway. Our Beach House is located between the Gulf of Mexico and Mobile Bay. You always have a great view of the water at Windward, the Gulf in the back and Mobile Bay in the front. The Fort Morgan area is very laid back and quiet which is perfect for families or couples wanting to getaway from the crowds yet you are only a short drive to the tourist hot spots. Our sugar white beaches are never crowded. The beaches at Fort Morgan are quite large, plenty of room to let the kids play or spread out to get that perfect tan. There are 3 undeveloped beach lots directly behind our house which is like having your own private beach. It's so laid back that we tell our guests to leave our beach chairs, beach umbrella, and sand toys on the beach until its time to check-out, they are never disturbed.
The Unique Benefits at this House
There is always a view of the water from our Beach House, Windward. The Gulf of Mexico with its Sugar White Sand Beaches is behind us and Mobile Bay is in the front. The Beach is a 150 yard walk and the Bay is across the street from our driveway. You have a view of the water from every room in our Beach House. Windard is beautifully decorated, with Gorgeous Views. The Fort Morgan area has a very slow pace, a great place to relax and stay away from the crowds. We offer the following amenities: Plush Pillowtop Mattesses as comfortable as you will find in any 4 or 5 star hotel, 400 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton Sheets, WIFI, 52" HDTV with High Definition DirecTV Programming, a Fully Equipped Kitchen, and a Covered Porch or open Deck to take in the Beautiful Views or get that perfect tan. Just bring your food, clothes, and sun screen, Windward has the rest.

We stayed at Winward from July 3 to July 10, 2010. It was even better than the listing described. This was such a peaceful place. It was quiet and private. I cannot emphasize enough how nice it was to have three private beach lots with plenty of room to spread out. We did not have to fight for a postage stamp sized square of beach or edge our way through crowds. The beach is an easy walk from the beach house. The house itself was clean, cheerful, and equipped with everything we needed. Everything was in good working order, and there were very clear instructions on how to use everything. We had plenty of room for our party of six adults and two children. We enjoyed grilling out on the patio, and the outdoor showers were so nice in helping keep the sand out of the house. I cannot say enough about how helpful and accomodating the owners were. Mr. Ward communicated with us weekly to keep us updated on the beach conditions with the oil spill and hurricanes, and we felt him to be honest in all dealings. He was quick to respond to all questions and even called to check on us when we arrived and sent us updates on activities around town during our visit. The books in the beach house were very helpful in helping us find restaurants and things to do. I woud recommend this property without any hesitation. Some of our favorite non-beach things were Waterville USA, DeSoto's restaurant, and the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo. We did not love Lulu's; for us the food was just not worth the price and the hour and a half wait.

***** We loved Windward. It had everything we needed, especially as we prepared our meals. The sharp knives and tupperware were great and all the pots. The home is in wonderful condition and the beds were comfy. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach and loved the views from both porches. We spent lots of time on the sea-side porch reading, bird-watching, and listening to music. The beach was clean except for the one day that the winds from offshore inundated us with jellyfish. But the next couple of days they were all swept offshore again. We enjoyed the changing weather and sea. We took lots of long walks along the shore. One of us loved bikeriding and even found a bike to ride in the garage. Having Don just a phone call away was so nice and he was so gracious, even about little things. We were three women and we loved Windward.

The Windward was just what we needed. September is a beautiful time to visit the beach, and the house was spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the rare uncrowded beach, and it was nice to leave the chairs and toys out there all week. I will definitely recommend this house to friends and family wanting to relax. It's away from the crowds, anything you could want to watch on TV, and the owner was always nice and helpful. We had a great time and can't wait to visit again.

We had a great time at Windward! The house was as presented on the site. The walk to the beach was a little farther than we thought it would be, but it was nice to leave the umbrellas and chairs there each day. Some of us did get stung by jellyfish. We brought vinegar with us each day, and that helped. The candlelight tours at Fort Morgan were great!! We also enjoyed The Track and going dolphin sightseeing. The guys went fishing with Island Time Charters and caught 47 fish. They had a blast!! Netflix was nice for quiet evenings at the house. The area was beautiful with great restaurants and activities....we would recommend this house!

We stayed at Windward from 06-12-Aug-2011. On Saturday, after a day of deep sea fishing, we took the ferry from Daulphin Island to Fort Morgan where we found our beachhouse waiting. We were pleasantly surprised to find the A/C on; such a welcome relief after a day in the sun. The home is very open and spacious; it just invites you in. Everything was clean and fully furnished. There were plenty of towels and washcloths; for us that was wonderful. Shortly after arriving, Don called to wish us well on our vacation. He told us that if we had any problems, just contact him and he would take care of it. He reminded us that the book on the coffee table had all the instructions for operating the TV, Direct TV, Net Flix and high speed internet. There were five adults on this vacation and the home was not crowded at all. The beach views from the rear of the house were awesome and, totally unobstructed. The bay views from the front were very nice. We were able to sit on the front porch and watch the Pelicans diving for lunch. The beach was clean, no trash just a little seaweed. Folks there were always nice and the beach was never crowded. We left the beach chairs and umbrella on the beach all week long and no one bothered them; amazing! It was truly a very relaxing vacation and we will definitely consider going back next year.

My family stayed at Windward and we had a great vacation. The beachhouse was spacious and very clean. Sometimes I would wonder if what you see on the internet will work out as planned, and this house and location were just what we wanted. The kids loved having their own rooms and having a house with netflex and direct tv was a big hit with them. It was nice to leave the beach chairs, umbrella, and beach toys on the beach for the week. There were no big hotels or condos in the area, just other beach houses, and the beach wasn't crowded. I did a lot of searching on the internet for a place that didn't have condos in the area, because we wanted a place that wasn't crowded. There were some nice local resturants in the area, so we rarely went into town. Fort Morgan was only 4 miles away, and the kids really enjoyed exploring the fort. One day we saw a group of dolphins swimming past the beach. The owner called the night we arrived to see if we needed anything. The owner was very helpful with sending e-mail messages before we arrived. I would highly recommend this house to my family and friends. I would hope to visit again.

Family fun on the fourth of July at Windward

We stayed at Windward the week of the fourth of July. My wife and I along with my 15 year old son and two of his friends and my 19 year old son and one of his friends had a blast. Windward was perfect for our needs. Don and Cindy have Windward furnished nicely. The funiture is not cheap stuff found in alot of rental homes. The wi-fi was great to lookup directions to attractions and resturants and such on the laptop.The kitchen was stocked fine for our needs.There was penty of room for everybody. The two outside showers were great for washing off after the beach. My 15 year old and his friends actually took all their showers outside. It was a short walk to the beach . We took a big rubbermaid container with all our beach stuff and left it at "our" spot all week with no problems. We went deep sea fishing and had good luck with some big red snapper. We rented a pontoon boat at Gulf Shores Marina just 2 miles away and went tubing in the bay. We had a school of dolphins swim right beside us while tubing. We shot fireworks off on the beach. We went to Lambert's and got stuffed and had some laughs. We did so much in such a short week, I wish we could have stayed another! We will definitely go back to Windward and you should too.Thanks for the great memories!

We especially enjoyed the large back porch. we stayed from June 11th - June 18th. the owner called the day of check-in to make sure everyhitng was ok (of course it was). the beach is very private, there were days when we were the only ones out there. We highly recommend Winward to anyone.

Windward was a perfect place for our summer vacation. We can't say enough about the views. The front door looks out upon the Bay. Wonderful way to start the day by watching the seagulls fly from the bayside to the gulf side as the sun rises. And the back deck overlooks the beautiful Gulf. The walk to the beach was minimal and perfect way to walk off the Hope's Cheesecake we bought in Gulf Shores (a must for any cheesecake connoisseur). The homeowners were gracious and called upon our arrival to make sure everything was as it should be. Windward was comfortable and had every amenity you could possibly want for your beach vacation. My boys were especially happy with the large screen tv to view the Dallas Mavericks championship basketball series. And next to the views, my favorite amenity...the hot and cold enclosed showers we used after returning from the beach below deck! What a luxury to rinse off in warm water before heading in the house. Windward is a gem.

Thank you so much for sharing your beach house with us. Our family enjoyed our stay. Having everything there, the grills, dishes, and linens was so nice. It was great to have the chairs and umbrellas there so we didn't have to haul all that with us. The beach was great! After having all the sun we wanted, the time in the chairs under the umbrellas was so relaxing. Then, to be able to walk back up to the house and grill our dinner was wonderful. The decks were so nice as well. We loved sitting out on the back deck at night under the stars! The T.V. and sitting room was cozy. The kitchen was well supplied and having the washer and dryer to keep all the wet stuff washed up was great! Very nice place! Thank you so much! Definitely a home away from home. The price was great and thank you for sending back our deposit so fast! We had it in our hand only three days after we got home! We would defintely stay with yall again!
