About Tina Scarborough
We are native Alabamians. We live in Tallassee, Alabama.
Joe and I enjoy actively participating in our Church, traveling with our friends, boat rides on Mobile Bay, fishing and shrimping, riding the ferry to Dauphin Island, bike rides in the Fort Morgan and Dauphin Island area, and enjoying the prettiest beach in the world- here in Ft. Morgan!
Tina Scarborough purchased this house in 2000
Why Tina Scarborough chose Gulf Shores East
The Fort Morgan area reminds us of how Gulf Shores was forty (40) years ago- prior to the proliferation of condos. Ft. Morgan is a quiet, peaceful place to relax and enjoy the pristine white sandy beach, salt air, and ever-present Gulf breezes; a community of single-family homes, with great neighbors and friends.
What makes this house unique
'Wastin' Away' is a short walk to the beach- the street (Bernard Court East) actually dead ends onto the beach- there is no cutting through other property owner's yards, or walking down the beach front road east or west to access the 'public' areas. The Gulf and Bay views can be enjoyed from the front deck. Since the house is located about a 1/4 mile away from the marina, and less than a mile from the Ft. Morgan historic site with public boat launch and fishing pier, there are a lot of fishing and boating activities available- we enjoy shrimping and fishing in Mobile Bay.

Reviews
Excellent!
4.5/5 -
(31 traveler reviews)
Me and my wife loved the house it was nice and updated and just a short walk to the beach.
Tina and Joe was very helpful the whole time we stayed. They are very nice and caring. The house was perfect with new appliances and nice deck around the house. The yard was very nicely mowed when we got there and house is well maintained and very clean. Has a nice concrete pad under the house with out side shower and water hoses and charcoal grill already in place. It is just far enough out of gulf shores for privacy but not to far if needed something from the store, me and my wife were very pleased and we will be back in the future!
Exciting and relaxing
The house had everything you could need. From plates and cook ware in the kitchen to towels and a hair dryer in the bathroom. Closets were stocked with extra bed linens and blankets. There was even an iron and ironing board. There is a direct TV package but we brought a WiiU for Netflix and Hulu. Under the house is a grill and storage area complete with a wagon, floating boards and other beach items. It was the perfect house and location for our little family of three. My boyfriend found it to be the perfect place to pop the big question after 4+ years lol. We will definitely be back. Maybe even for our honeymoon :)
Short walk to an awesome beach!
Wastin Away was a great beach house in a great location. The house had all the amenities we needed for a week long stay. Tina was very accommodating and friendly. We will definitely be back to Ft Morgan area again. We loved Sassy Bass restaurant and the beaches were extremely clean and quiet.
Relaxing, non-commercialize, pet friendly area for beach lovers
Great location, close to beach, friendly neighbors, enjoyed our vacation.
Everything you need. All the comforts of home at the beach.
It was everything we needed for a relaxing beach vacation. We enjoyed that it was close to The Fort. I suggest taking the ferry to Daughin Island. There are several areas there worth exploring. Joe and Tina were amazing. We couldn't have asked for more.
Not cared for owner told me they hadn't been these in 3 years
Not happy
Disappointed the deck was a health hazard, loose boards gaps in them, due to only 2 to 4 screws in one end. When I told owner of leaks she told me I could leave if that's what I needed to do......what really!!! And top it of everything flooded from storm, granted none of us control the weather. But all the other yards ,only Ours remained for 5 days........ took us two hours to carry luggage down and through 2 ft of sewer,swampy water and then drive our 12 hour trip home!!!! She is a rude non customer caring property owner. I bought the insurance and yet we were the ones who got the damages..........
