Great experience. Clean and cute place. Great location to beach and access to pools. We went in May before the summer crowd. It’s a big facility so I’m sure it will be a busy place during summer. Lots of fun things to do! Will stay again for sure!!!!!
Property was extremely clean and spacious enough for a family of four. Also has a great view from the balcony and the walk to the beach was very short. The kiddos loved having the pool right outside the condo.
Clean property with good amenities. Apartment was well stocked and in a great location for beach access and a pool. Very nice balcony. Family trip with small children and accommodations were great.
Property was clean and well maintained, grounds and pool were lovely, beach was easily accessible, delicious food was a short walk away. Will happily visit again!
Good location, kind of secluded from the heavy traffic of Gulf Shores. The people that stayed before use definitely did not read the rules and smoked in the room, so the room had a heavy smell to it but other than that I have no complaints.

Thank you for staying with us and we are glad you had a nice time at the beach. We appreciate you reaching out regarding the smell of smoke. The unit has since been treated to elimiate that smell. Thanks again for vising our ocean front resort!
There is a beautiful pool/ocean view from the 2nd floor balcony. The condo is very cute with all the beach decor. The beds were very comfortable and everything is well put together. The manager was very friendly and accommodating. Everything you need is located inside this big resort including a nice beachside restaurant(The Sassy Bass) and a coffee shop (Selah) that is run by some of the sweetest people. There is also a Dollar General located just a couple of miles up the road. We loved the privacy of this resort. Very quiet and peaceful for a family. The only negative in our experience was that even though the temps were in the upper 70’s during our stay the swimming pools were absolutely freezing! I assumed at least one of the outdoor pools would be heated but they are not.There is one indoor pool located on the property though. All in all my kids and I enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay in this beautiful place again

Reviewer Comments:
We loved our stay in Fort Morgan. The unit we stayed in was great - so comfortable and perfect home away from home.
My family and I loved staying here. We were relaxed and enjoyed the amenities this location offered. The room was great and the beds we comfy except the pull-out sofa but that is to be expected. We would defiantly stay here again!
Had a great stay. Place was the perfect size for our small family of four. Host was super helpful and was quick to address our questions. Beach was clean and not super busy. Kids loved all the options at the facility and resturant on site was amazing. Will for sure stay again.
Everything was great. It was what we needed.The only complaint was that the door to the condo would not lock.

Thank you for staying with us and we are glad you had a great time at the beach! The door lock is working so I wish you had reached out to us so we could have helped you with the door lock.
About the host

In 2003 I became a property owner in Gulf Shores, AL. After all these years it is still a blessing to call this beautiful place "my home away from home".
Why they chose this property
The resort is located directly on the beach and offers more amenities than most resorts! These amenities are for your enjoyment without an extra charge. There is something about time at the beach which leaves most of us feeling fresh and renewed.
