Because the price of gas has gone through the roof, we understand people's vacation budget is getting hit hard. To try and help with this, we have slashed our rates from now until the end of the year. Snowbirds please email for great monthly rates.

Get away from the sardine canned condominium lifestyle and hurry up and wait atmosphere and come to where you only have to share the golden beaches and sparkling pools with just a few others. Relax in the shade of margarita lifestyle living--no stress, no hurry--a true get away from it all!

Located approximately 14 miles down Highway 180 from Gulf Shores is the Rookery, a brand new development of quaint cottages. It has two pools; (a large one with a tiki bar across the bridge and a smaller one just behind us). It also has an outdoor jacuzzi.

Our cottage is the first one as you enter which makes it the closest to the beach. Public beach access is across Fort Morgan Road. Turn right leaving the Rookery, go 1/2 block and turn left on Cortez. The beach is straight ahead. Total distance is approx equivalent of three city blocks.

There are two top rated golf courses within a few miles: Kiva Dunes and The Peninsula, and several more with driving range. Just down the road is Tacky Jacks (at the Fort Morgan Marina) which has great seafood and behind the Pines Grocery at Echols try their fantastic half-pound cheeseburger or delicious buffalo shrimp.

This unit is completely furnished in beach chic style comfort and freshness. It has one king-size bed, one queen-size, one set of twin beds and a queen-size sleeper sofa. All have great mattresses! There is no phone so we suggest bringing your cell.

There are two TV's connected to satellite with local channels available and a DVD player.

Each bath has a shower and tub. The kitchen comes with a full-size stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave.

There is a washer and dryer.Dishes and linens are provided. Everything you need is within a few miles, so if you do not want to leave, you do not have to.

Long term rental rates are available.

  • We loved the cottage. The kitchen was well furnished/equiped for those who like to stock up and cook. The owner provided several excellent suggestions for great seafood places; my favorites were King Neptunes, Gulf Shore Steamers, and Tacky Jacks. My two dogs loved the placed also and were a bit upset when the suitcases came out to be packed to leave. The owner did not advertise wireless internet, but we were able to get a strong wireless connection on our laptop. While walking the dogs, we discovered a lovely small pond with cat-tails that had a single small 4-5 foot gator; we found him entertaining to watch. If we were to stay in Fort Morgan again, we would stay here again.

  • We had an awesome time in July 2007 and absolutely loved this cottage. This cottage was even cuter than the pictures on line, and all of us, 4 adults, 2 kids and a baby, were quite happy with it. The owner was fantastic at meeting our needs and beyond. If we have another reunion in the area, we would definitely consider going back.

  • We stayed at this cottage during Spring Break. We had a very nice time. Cottage was very clean and as described by the owner. The cottage is very conveniently located to the two pools in the Rookery. It is a short drive or you could walk across the road to the beach (go up Cortez road). We cooked out at the BBQ grills by the pool one night - fun. The family and the puppy had a great trip!

  • Great home to stay at while you enjoy the area. Clean; large enough for family of seven; well equipped; helpful owner; great pool with zero water entry for toddlers. The very reasonable cost of renting the home allowed us to have more fun and not destroy our budget. About 20min. from Gulf Shores activities and quiet. Would certainly stay at this home again if still available.
