About this property

Bayfront, kayaks, private dock, 5 minute walk to the Gulf

This 3BR/2BA water front home with private dock and small private beach will be your new Fort Morgan go-to for rest and relaxation. Just 1/2 mile from the Fort Morgan Marina and with plenty of parking space, you can bring your own boat or charter the fishing trip of a lifetime! “Off The Hook” , is a great choice. The Fort Morgan Historic Site and Mobile Bay Ferry Landing is less than 2 miles down the road. The ferry departs and returns from Dauphin Island up to 15 times a day. You can enjoy the water and sand on the Mobile Bay side of the peninsula from the back yard, or you can take a short quarter of a mile walk down Buchanan Ct to the big sandy Fort Morgan Gulf of Mexico beaches. You will want to do both!

This home comfortably sleeps 8-10 guests with a king bed in the master with private bath, a queen bed in one upstairs bedroom, and a second upstairs bunk room with a twin size daybed and full over full bunk bed. The daybed and bunk bed also have additional trundle beds that are great for kids. A queen sleeper sofa is located in the spacious living room. We provide a fully stocked kitchen with full size appliances. Drip and Keurig coffee makers available.

Linens provided, but please bring your beach towels.

Starter pack provided of laundry detergent, dish soap, and a trash bag. Shampoo, conditioner, and soap in each bathroom.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The property is wonderful. My boys 11 and 13 enjoyed the dock for fishing and used the provided kayaks. It's peaceful and the deck is a great place to watch bay. It's 25 min drive to Gulf shores but straight shot. Kitchen is well stocked. Property is very cute!

I was leary about staying on the bay side as we have always stayed on the Gulf Front side, but can I just say for the record, A Littie Slice of Heaven on the Bay, should be the name of this retreat! My family loved it and so did I!!! It had everything we needed and more! We never used the Kayaks, just didn’t have enough time, but seeing the look on my niece’s face when she pulled that crab cage up out of the bay with all those crabs in it was priceless indeed!!! She had always wanted to catch crab!!! lol The beds were all comfortable, everything was clean and stocked! The walk over to the beach side was no more than 5 minutes, as someone else said, but my husband was nice enough to drive us to unload all our stuff, since we were fishing and had all our gear, and then drive back and walk back over to where we set up on the beach. He said the walk was not far at all. Our sweet pup-pup, Rocxy, loved it there as well as she seemed right at home! Especially in the mornings sitting out on the deck watching the bay in all it had to offer. Thank you so much for sharing your “Little Slice of Heaven” with our family. We throughly enjoyed our time in your home, Bayview, and we will definitely be keeping it in our thoughts for future visits!

We enjoyed staying in Bay View! It was our first time staying on the bay side and we liked it. We saw lots of wildlife, fished off the dock, ate good food, and had fun at the beach! The house had everything we needed and was clean.

Enjoyed it!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Love that it’s away from the hustle and bustle. There is a small grocery store and restaurants nearby if needed. Still convenient to Gulf Shores and everything else that you need. Loved waking up to the beautiful Bay view, and the pier for fishing.

We loved our stay at Bayview! Our little TRT Odie enjoyed the bay, the ocean, not too much! The boys loved the dock and also chartered a fishing trip, just up the road at the marina. They loved the location and wants to book it again! Thank you for sharing your home!

Michigan Family

This was a wonderful place and the perfect location for our family who loves to fish and wanted to have a peaceful location away from crowds. We went to Fort Morgan and spent time at the local marina watching charters come in which was literally walking distance. The home was cute, clean and well stocked. We highly recommend!
