We love spending some time near the water. The Little Oar House gave us what we were looking for. The view of the Gulf, from the deck, was peaceful and calm. At the other end of the house was a view of Mobile Bay. It was absolutely wonderful to be surrounded by water. The walk to the Gulf was just a few minutes. Exactly what we wanted.
Pictures online do not do the house justice. Lovely decor. Kitchen and living room is one large open room. The kitchen is fully stocked with just about every utensil, pots, pans, and small appliance you may need. There is not a table inside to eat at. There are stools at the counter that worked perfectly for us. There is a table and chair set on the deck if you want to eat outside.
We stayed in the bedroom with the view of the Gulf. Bed was comfortable, and glad there was a footstool so I could get into bed easier. In the room is a corner shower, vanity, toilet with a door to it, and a very nice sized closet with a dresser and some hangers.
The second bedroom had a queen bed bunk with a twin bed on top. This room had a view of the bay. The second bathroom was nice sized with a tub/shower. A nice sized vanity for my necessities.
Below the house there is a picnic table, sink, and a bar area with stools. There is also a charcoal grill you can use. If you plan to have any meals at the house, I suggest you stop and get your groceries on your way in. There are a few stores within a few miles, but a grocery store is farther.
There are some restaurants close to the house and more as you travel back towards Gulf Shores.
Ft Morgan is a wonderful area that is not filled with tourist attractions. We did visit the historical site, Ft. Morgan that's a few miles west of the house. This is worth the time if you have any interest in history.
My favorite place at the house was the deck. Morning tea with the Gulf breeze and sunshine hit the spot. We wanted to stay an extra day, but the house was already booked.
Our host were wonderful and accommodating.
They live right next to the house, so don't be surprised to see them. Their two fur babies are happy to great you! Would love to come back one day.
