About this property
PawPaws:Fort Morgan/ Pet Friendly/ Cargo Lift / 2 minutes to beach/3 bed 2 bath
Nestled in the tranquil Fort Morgan area of Gulf Shores, this beach house offers a peaceful escape, ensuring a serene environment free from bustling commercial activity or large condominium complexes. Relax on the covered deck and enjoy breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico and Mobile Bay, just steps away from the uncrowded, white sandy beach. Spend your days beachcombing, dolphin-watching, and swimming in the clear blue waters of the Gulf.
Conveniently located, the house is a short drive from several top-notch golf courses, as well as the shopping and dining options in Gulf Shores and the Foley (Tanger) outlet centers. Indulge in local favorites like Lulu's, owned by Jimmy Buffett's sister, the beloved Sassy Bass, Tacky Jacks just down the road, and the renowned Papa Rocco's for pizza, among many others.
Nearby, explore the historic Fort Morgan and the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, home to endangered species and migratory birds, with over 4,000 acres of diverse ecosystems, including beach dunes, scrub dunes, freshwater marshes, saltwater marshes, and maritime forests.
The Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge is a true haven for bird enthusiasts, boasting over 120 different species. Beyond birdwatching, the refuge offers a wealth of activities, from hiking and swimming to photography and seashell collecting. Fishermen can indulge in both freshwater and saltwater fishing.
Hop on the auto ferry to Dauphin Island and explore the captivating Sea Lab and Estuarium. This educational public aquarium showcases the four key habitats of coastal Alabama: the Mobile Tensaw River Delta, Mobile Bay, the Barrier Islands, and the Northern Gulf of Mexico. The 10,000-square-foot Exhibit Hall, a 7,000-gallon stingray touch pool, and the Living Marsh Boardwalk are just a few of the highlights. With 31 aquariums containing over 30,000 gallons and more than 100 species on display, the Estuarium provides a comprehensive understanding of the interactions and natural resources found in the fourth-largest estuary system in the United States.
Whether you prefer birdwatching or sunbathing, this island paradise offers something for everyone.
The property offers wonderful opportunities to observe neotropical migratory birds and native wildflowers. In spring, bird enthusiasts flock to the park to witness the annual bird migration.
This is a property dedicated to wildlife conservation, with natural vegetation surrounding the area to encourage wildlife activity. The grasslands are protected natural habitats for various species. Visitors are advised to observe birds and wildlife from a distance to avoid disturbing them.
The "no mow areas" on the property have increased opportunities for wildlife viewing, as well as the enjoyment of bird sounds and photography. Just 20 minutes from Gulf Shores, Alabama, the property boasts impressive views of the Gulf and Mobile Bay.

The best family vacation!
The house was perfect for our family! It is beautiful and only a short walk to the beach with beach views from the deck. All beach toys and supplies you could need are readily available for you to use. Everything you could need to prepare a meal is provided in the kitchen, and only a short drive to Tacky Jacks and Sassy Bass for eating out. Cheryle and Dave are great to work with and made sure our stay was perfect! We have enjoyed this house for many years and hope to stay in some of their other properties soon!

A lovely stay - we keep coming back to this place!
The recent updates to the house are really nice! We have stayed here three times and will probably be back again!
This beach house was by far our favorite so far out of the ones that we have stayed in.
Quiet neighborhood, short walk to the beach so we could come and go as we wanted.
Short drive to all of the shops and family fun.
Tacky Jacks is right down the road so that was amazing.
Rooms were big and comfortable.
We traveled with 8 people and we all fit comfortably in this house. Everyone had their own space.
Kitchen was beautiful. So much room and space in there for all of us to sit down and eat together.
Can’t wait to book our next trip.

Pretty close to perfect.
Beautifully decorated and well furnished. Beds were very comfortable. Everything you needed for a family stay was at the property. Best cookware ever in a rental. Short walk to the beach with beautiful sunsets.
Wonderful place to stay! Great location - quiet and peaceful. Having beach toys already there and a place to rinse off outside was ideal! Cheryle was quick to respond and helpful. It was just what we were looking for!
We stayed at this property for spring break. It's location to the beach is perfect! The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. The property owner is very professional and responsive. Would recommend this property.
It was very very close to the beach. Love the location and the vibrant color of the house. Everything was there and more. Will definitely stay at that house again. Curtis family
Nice Beach House with great space underneath. Quiet beach dog friendly 200 yards away.
Make sure to bring your groceries as the convenience store in Fort Morgan is expensive.
Throughly enjoyed our stay. The property was even better than the write up. Very clean and very well stocked. Even included some essentials to get you started if you forgot them. Location was great. Short walk to the beach and walkable streets to take our pups out. Would definitely return.

Seven Winters with Cheryle
We have spent seven Winters renting from Cheryle. She is a very attentive landlord and always addresses any issues promptly. Our returning every year reflects what a good landlord and person she is.
Great place short walk to beach. We just had to listen to construction but it has to be done. Clean and pretty, outdoor furniture not made for short people. (Lol) after construction workers left it was nice and quiet

This property is top notch. It is very modern and updated. Everything is very convenient. The walk to the beach takes less time than staying in a condo directly on the beach, waiting on an elevator and walking out to the beach. The front deck and back deck are both very peaceful and serve a different purpose depending on what your mood is. The beds are very comfortable. Everything was fully stocked, more than I could have asked for. The parking and set-up under the house are very original, and convenient. The storage shed includes just about everything needed for the beach; chairs, floaties, boogie boards, a wagon, even life jackets. There’s a shower and hose to spray off with below the house which is VERY convenient and saves so much hassle as far as cleaning up sand. There’s a swing and picnic area under the house as well that is very peaceful, shady and breezy and perfect for entertaining. The owner was very responsive and easy to work with.
About the host
Hosted by Cheryle/Owner
We have been coming to the Gulf Shores area for over three decades. Our family, which includes two boys and a granddaughter, all share a deep love for the beach and fishing. It has long been our dream to own a home in this beautiful coastal region. In 2009, we fulfilled that dream by purchasing our first vacation property. Since then, we've expanded our portfolio, now owning a total of six rental homes, with two (Maw-Maws and Out O' Town) located near our initial purchase and three ( Bay Dreamer, Mull-It Over and Serenity Now)situated directly on the bay. We also maintain a personal residence just a few miles from our beach houses. Given that our primary home is only about a 4-hour drive away, we're able to visit the area frequently and look forward to sharing this cherished coastal haven with others.
Why they chose this property
We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation stay in the neighborhood across the street, and decided this was the perfect location for our vacation home. In 2009, we purchased our first property (Maw-Maws)here which is directly next door. Then in 2015, we designed and built a this home. In 2022, we purchased and completely remodeled a bay front home then in 2025 completely demolished a rebuilt a new home ( Bay Dreamer) in its place. In 2023, we designed and built aanother home just a few houses away from this one ( Out O Town). In 2026 we built another bay fron home (Mull-It Over) and also purchased the home directly beside it (Serenity Now)We look forward to one day retiring and making this area our permanent home.
What makes this property unique
This home offers three bedrooms and 2 baths, making it ideal for families. It's conveniently located, with a short walk to the beach and a short drive to golf courses and the public boat dock. The nearby OWA amusement park is just 30 minutes away. Situated on a quiet street, the home is pet-friendly, with pets allowed on the beach when leashed. The house is completely carpetless and non-smoking, providing a clean and comfortable environment. The open lots in the backyard offer great views. Additionally, the owners have three more homes available and offer discounts to repeat renters and those booking multiple properties.
