We absolutely loved our stay at The Blue Bungalow! The host is very communicative before and during your stay, and also gives you little tips and ideas for your trip. The little community it is iocated in is so nice. The house we stayed in was really cute, and clean. Even though we didn't use the pool (it was cold and rainy for a couple of the days), we rode by it a lot of times on the golf cart and it looked really nice. Would like to also give a shout out to Looks Good Gulf Karts Fort Morgan (located in The Rookery 3) for an amazing golf cart rental. Loved, loved, loved our trip...the house...and the little community!!!!! We are so ready to come back! Thank you so much for sharing your cute little house with us!!

This was a wonderful rental for a last minute trip. My kids have only been to Florida panhandle beaches and loved every minute of our stay! We would definitely stay here again since it was so quiet, clean and the host was very responsive (even when we were cold and needed help with the thermostat). :)

Fun filled week

We all really enjoyed our stay this past week - spending most days out the majority of the day but coming home to the Blue Bungalow each night was comforting! Having what we needed to fix a few meals at the Bungalow was also a plus! And I was able to have my morning coffee!

Relaxing getaway

We had a great time during our stay. The pool is great for kids. The bugs were pretty terrible during our stay though so I’d definitely recommend bringing bug spray.

Perfect Bungalow

We had the most amazing time at the blue bungalow. This was probably our favorite vacation. The location was so serene and quiet. We rented a golf cart and had a nice drive to the public beach access. If you like family friendly, this is the place for you!

Secluded community close to Gulf Shores

My family of 5 stayed here andnhad a wonderful time. The location was perfect for us. It was close to the beach and town but yet quite and not as busy as the more commercialized areas. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. Scott was very responsive to any questions that we had. We would definitely stay here again.

Host profile image
Hi I'm Sarah! I live in Memphis, TN with my husband Scott and our two wild and crazy kiddos. When it's time to slow life down, we enjoy getting the chance to see different parts of the country any chance we get. Creating big family experience is important to us and I hope you and your family have just as much fun on your trips!

Why they chose this property

Thank you for considering our cozy beach bungalow! We found Fort Morgan years ago when we were searching for a peaceful beach town and fell in love with it. The beach is meant for relaxing and The Rookery provides the perfect quiet getaway.

Just like you, we enjoy staying at vacation rentals as well, so our goal is to provide you with the 5-Star experience that we look forward to when we stay at other hosts' homes.

What makes this property unique

If you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of busy beach towns, then Fort Morgan is the place for you. Located just 20 minutes away from Gulf Shores, this quiet beach getaway is the perfect place to unwind.
