A great vacation escape!

Our family of six recently stayed at The Rookery. This property was more than we had expected. The owners have taken a lot of time tastefully decorating the interior into a wonderful beach themed home. Everything was clean and well-maintained. Our family loves to cook and we were impressed by all the kitchen utensils/pots/pans etc. that were available. It made for many great memories cooking a meal and sitting down to talk about our day. We selected this property as we wanted to be away from the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores. It did not disappoint!! Our children loved how close we were to the ocean. As an added bonus, the owners have all types of beach amenitites in the closet for everyone to use!! The pool and tennis courts were great for the kids! If you are coming to the Gulf Shores area and want a quiet place to stay...this is the place!

This is a beautiful place to stay!! Although the pictures online are good, it is even better in real life. My family and I had an awesome week staying in this comfortable, beautifully beach-theme decorated, duplex. The kids absolutely loved their bedrooms! It was spacious enough for my family of 6 and very cozy and welcoming. We enjoyed many activities while we were there including riding the ferry to Dauphin Island and visiting historical sites and the Estuarium there, visiting the USS Alabama in Mobile (short 1 1/2 hr drive) eating at the wonderful nearby restaurants, shopping, and mostly just kicking back at the beach which is literally less than a five minute drive.

Our trip to Fort Morgan and staying at the Rookery was great. My wife, 2 daughters and 4 grandchildern and myself had an outstanding time. The grand kids love the bunk beds and the beach. The cottage was roomy and everyone just loved it. The area was very family friendly. Looking forward to going back next year.

My family had the pleasure of being the first to rent this unit after it was recently redecorated. It is like new! All the walls are freshly painted, and it is decorated beautifully yet very comfortable and appropriate for a lively family with a couple of teenagers to relax and enjoy. We took advantage of the closeness of the beach and also the pool and tennis courts. The beach in this area is very clean and not as crowded as some of the beach areas closer to Gulf Shores. The Rookery overall is very quiet and a great place to spend family time. The men in my family enjoyed a charter fishing trip out of Orange Beach and caught lots of fish to bring home to Texas!! We had dinner at Lulu's one night which has a great beach atmosphere and good food too. Expect to wait a while for a table, but the wait is actually fun as there are lots of activities to enjoy while waiting, unlike most other restaurants. We took a morning trip to Pensacola to see the Blue Angels practice session which was awesome!!! Check the Blue Angels Pensacola web site for practice schedules as they are not always in town. The drive to see them is about an hour one way. And the best part, it is FREE to the public! My teenagers were reluctant to get up early and drive to Pensacola, but they thoroughly enjoyed it and said it was worth getting up for. Overall, we enjoyed our trip very much and hope to go back sometime. We highly recommend the Rookery for a great vacation getaway!
