We are off the beaten path just enough that you can see them here on a clear night. Just imagine watching the stars dance lazily across the southern sky while the salt air of the Gulf of Mexico breezes through your hair as you relax on the screen porch or melt away the days activities in the hot tub.
We chose this condo because it's not like the rest, its not like the typical tall condominium that is covered in asphalt and concrete. The Rookery is nestled in the scrubby palmetto woods of the Alabama Gulf Coast, with tall pines dotting the short landscape so that the afternoon and evening breezes can gently whisper through them, bringing perfect endings to perfect days.
It reminded us of the not too distant past of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach when fish camps dotted the landscape where people would stay to enjoy the Gulf's catch. There's not too many places like this left. There is no asphalt to burn your feet on a hot day, just a wooden walkway to condo. Who knows, you just might see a big Blue Heron wading for his lunch, or a turtle sunning himself on the bank.
We want you to relax and enjoy your vacation, with the quiet comfort of The Rookery and the great price we offer. There are tons of activities just a short drive away. it will be the best vacation getaway you've had in a long time.

About Jackie Moss
Lee and I and our 2 grown children are christians who want to share of little glimpse of God's amazing creation, nature and beauty with others. We first visited Fort Morgan because a close friend recommended it. We decided to visit and immediately fell in love with it. We started looking for a place to buy close to beach but 15 minutes away from "Everything" in Gulf Shores.
Jackie Moss purchased this Condo in 2005
Why Jackie Moss chose Fort Morgan
Secluded natural environment, very private and quiet. You can even bring your golf cart or boat. we have plenty of parking just for them. Kayak, jet ski and canoe rentals just down the street. Also several restaurants nearby so you never have to go into Gulf Shores. We have a gas grill too. It is literally a home away from home.

Best Vacation
Our family of 3 kids and 2 adults just returned from the best beach vacation we have taken. To begin with the house was just perfect. There was plenty of room for us, the bedrooms were comfortable, the house was clean and cute, the screen porch was a nice addition and the location was great. The house is a quick walk to the pool and a short trip to the beach. Both locations are good but we preferred the beautiful white sand beach. This area is not overcrowded, which we loved. There are people on the beach but you don't have to squeeze in, there is plenty of room for everyone. We were sad to leave and can't wait for the next opportunity to go back.
Thank you for an amazing beach vacation
