About this property

Seagrass Cottage: Your Coastal Oasis Awaits – Embrace Serenity by the Sea!

Down Fort Morgan Road in Gulf Shores, AL around mile marker 10, lies one of the hidden secrets of the Alabama Gulf Coast - an uncrowded beach where not only can you productively fish right off the shore, you can also bring your dog.

Just steps from this beach lies the “Seagrass Cottage.” The cottage is nestled at the end of a dead-end street where seemingly hidden stairs magically lead you up to the home. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath house boasts Gulf of Mexico views, the sounds of the surf, and just a few steps to dip your toes in the water.

Located in the private Cabana Beach neighborhood of Fort Morgan, “Seagrass Cottage” delivers stunning views, 2 private decks and all the comforts of home. A parking pass for the private beach parking lot is included and as a guest at Cabana Beach, you are also able to fish off the neighborhood fishing pier across Hwy 180 on Mobile Bay. But why drive anywhere? You can step down under the house and be at the Gulf in minutes.

The house is equipped with 2 decks: the main deck wraps around from the kitchen to the master bedroom and includes loungers and a full outside dining table. Another deck is attached to the second-floor loft bedroom (all the kids' favorite room). There are 3 sets of French doors in the home to let the sea air in: in the living room, master bedroom & the huge loft bedroom. The Gulf views and breezes must be experienced to be believed! There is also an outdoor shower so you can wash the seawater off or just delight in taking a shower out in the elements (it is private).

This is our favorite area of Alabama and many parts of it are wild and untamed. Some of the wildlife you can see here are dolphins, pelicans, and sea birds, many species of turtles, multitudes of fish, crabs, otters, and yes, even alligators (but not on the beach!). An educational excursion less than ten miles to the west lies the actual Fort Morgan historic site which includes the barracks, canons, and a small museum. This is a great short trip for history buffs and a super way to introduce your children to physical history.

The home features flat-screen TVs throughout (all with HDMI so you can bring your Roku, Apple TV, Xbox, whatever), basic cable, DVD players, and free WIFI.

“Seagrass Cottage” is within walking distance of The Beach Club resort where there is shopping, dining and even a spa. The Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge is also close to the Cottage. And of course, Gulf Shores, 12 miles to the east offers many fine dining establishments, Rouses (the best grocery store ever), and a bunch of tourist stuff, if you're into that. There is a dedicated grilling area and picnic table under the house. Inside, the dining table can be expanded and there are extra chairs for guests to use. The kitchen is stocked with all the pots/pans/utensils and appliances you'll need. Bed linens, towels & washcloths are all provided.

Do remember to bring beach towels.

A 'starter set' of essentials is included in the reservation. Policies: Guests renting the house must be at least 25 years old. A photo ID is required at check-in.
The property is a non-smoking house.

Dogs are welcome with a $225 non-refundable pet fee per pet.

Cozy and private cottage
When we pulled up, it looked like approaching a tree house. The house decor is so appealing, a nice beach vibe. The kitchen was stocked with anything anyone might need. There is a nice view of the water from the decks, and a short walk to the beach. It was a very pleasant week.

Great location, pet friendly beach
Ran down to the coast with our small dog. Very clean, well equipped rental. A little walk to beach but manageable. A very convenient parking area when carrying accoutrements. Good AC! Quiet and comfortable.

End of summer vacation
The house and location was ideal for our end of summer vacation. We wanted to take the kids to the beach before school started back and this place was perfect. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood and it was just a short walk to the beach. The house was stocked with everything we needed to get started. There was plenty of space for our family of 5. The patio/deck was a perfect peaceful space to just wind down after a day at the beach. The beach was not crowded which we loved. The owners of this property have a beautiful home and the property managers were easy and wonderful to work with. We will definitely try to book our next beach vacation at this location.
