Cindy and I are pleased that you and your husband had a great time at our Gulf Front beach house. We strive to make each of our guests have a wonderful stay at Serenity Now beach house. We look forward to you returning in the future.
The property owner was amazing, so gracious, and provided a wonderful vacation home for us last week! The area of Fort Morgan is exactly what I was looking for - quieter beach experience. The home was very comfortable and we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Thank you for the 5 Star rating. Our goal is for all of our guests to have a 5 Star vacation at Serenity Now beach house.
Plenty of Room, close to the beach, had everything. Just wish stores were closer as it's a 25-minute drive for groceries. The wind the week we stayed was very strong and made it seem cool. But nothing the place or owner could do to make these two better.

Thank you for the 5 Star rating. Just to clarify our house is directly on the beach, Gulf front.. We also suggest that our guests do a Walmart grocery pickup before driving to our beach house. Walmart is just one block off of Hwy 59.
Our family had a wonderful stay at Serenity Now! The proximity to the beach and heated pool were perfect for the kids. There was plenty of room for all of us and the home was clean & stocked with anything we could need. I highly recommend staying here!

Cindy and I are pleased that you and your family enjoyed your spring beach vacation at Serenity Now beach house. Thank you for the 5 Star review and compliments our private heated pool and amenities.
This property was accurately advertised, unlike many properties on VRBO. The owner communicated and was available to answer any questions, although there were no issues. All the mechanical systems and appliances were working and the pool was clean and ready. This is a very nice beach property for larger groups.

Thank you for the 5 Star rating and compliments on our beach house.
We stayed here with friends over spring break and had a great time. Close walk to the beach and ocean views from the house were great! It was nice to have the den upstairs for kids to hang out while parents stayed downstairs.

Hilary thank you for the 5 star rating. One of the advantages of our house is we have two dens, one on the main level with a 75 inch TV and another den upstairs with a 65 inch TV.
This house was a perfect relaxing getaway for our family. The house was comfortable and the balconies relaxing. The pool was a great break from the beach and the location was amazing. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and the authenticity of the beach property.

Nicole thank you for the 5 star review. Our salt water pool and the beach offers our guests the best of both. Our beach is special because it is quiet and spacious, it is never crowded.
This is one of the nicest house I have ever rented. Great layout and perfect location.
We have rented a lot of houses and this is way up there in the rankings. Very clean and had everything you would ever need. The location was great and the beach wonderful. I would recommend this house to anyone

Great place we got for a week shared by 11 adults. Everything was in great condition. Lots of extras that we weren’t used to like an Alexa, beach chairs and such. Highly recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Don Ward
My name is Don Ward and I am a retired Vice President at Bank of Brewton in Brewton, AL and also past President and Director of the Brewton Chamber of Commerce. My wife, Cindy is a retired teacher/librarian at Brewton Middle School. Our daughter, Ashleigh graduated from the University of Alabama and was a Crimsonette (majorette) in Alabama's Million Dollar Band for 4 years (2011-2014). Ashleigh lives in Nashville with her husband Zach and their one year old daughter, Elliotte. We love being grandparents! We enjoy traveling to different places each year but we love the beach at Fort Morgan. We have been in the vacation rental business since 1998 and have been members of VRBO since 2008. We have earned the distinguished Premier Host status.
Why they chose this property
Ft. Morgan has gorgeous white sand beaches and it's away from the crowded beaches of Gulf Shores. There are a few restaurants in Fort Morgan, but a short drive and you're in Gulf Shores or Orange Beach which both have many amazing restaurants and activities. Our house is directly on the beach and it's large enough to bring the whole family, we sleep 14 people. The private heated pool means your family will be the only ones around playing, laughing and enjoying this place. Our beach is a perfect place for families. It is quiet, spacious, and NEVER crowded.
What makes this property unique
This gulf front house has amazing views from every window or sitting on either of our covered decks is even better. Serenity Now is a private home NOT a duplex unit. It has two dens which means grown ups and kids can each have their own space to hang out.
The five bedrooms with two sets of bunks and a leather sleeper sofa means you can bring the whole family and still be very comfortable. We sleep 14. With a gas grill or a charcoal grill and a fully stocked kitchen you could spend the whole day on the beach then prepare a gourmet meal at home, watch TV or splash around in the pool until bedtime. You have everything you need here to make some wonderful family vacation memories!
The private HEATED SALT WATER pool gives the little ones and adults a place to swim and play in the shade if you've had enough sun. The gas fire pit is located in the sitting area near our heated salt water pool. Enjoy the warmth of our gas fire pit on those cool nights as you listen to the waves coming in. Just turn on the valve on the propane tank and ignite the burner. No wood required or ashes to ruin your clothes.
From March 1 to May 31 and October our pool heater runs 24 hours daily. The pool heater thermostat is set to 87 degrees. The pool heater is a heat pump and it will raise the water temperature in the pool a maximum of 25* above the ambient (outside) temperature. The pool is NOT heated in the following months: November, December, January, February, June, July, August, and September. The cost to heat the pool during these months is $50 per day plus 6% tax.
