About this property

Adorable 3 bedroom, 2 bath single family home facing the Gulf of Mexico in the quaint town of Fort Morgan in Gulf Shores, AL! Located in the Morgantown subdivision, you're just steps (approximately 1,000 ft) to the beach with beach access and a great view. The property is practically, but not technically, beachfront with just one empty lot between you and the beach. Also, the deed to the property includes the access path to the beach, so you're not trespassing when you walk straight from your doorstep to the beach. Once you stock the pantry and refrigerator with food and snacks, you never have to leave the property to experience the beach for a long vacation or weekend trip. Enjoy your morning coffee on the covered porch with a swing and outdoor furniture while taking in the view. Grill lunch for the family in the afternoon with a barbeque pit on the second level of the deck. Relax in the Adirondack chairs at night around the firepit after a long day at the beach. Plenty of parking right up to the house to unpack your belongings using the convenient luggage ramp. Garbage is picked up and brought to the road for you 2x a week! Full spacious laundry room to store all the beach gear. The Fort Morgan area of Gulf Shores is the best-kept secret in town and has a very family-friendly environment.

Cottage on the shore

Our stay at the Cottage on the Shore was just what everyone needed to unwind and relax. The Cottage was clean and very comfortable. The host was very qiuick to respond to messages and took care of any issues asap. The host also let us well informed of activities they thought we would enjoy which we did. Would definitely recommend staying at the Cottage on the Shore.

New Favorite Beach House!!

I have been coming to this shore line since I was a little girl. I’ve stayed in many waterfront homes. Let me just say that this cottage was so great! The location was perfect, private, and the views were amazing! I would definitely stay here again! High notes: the air conditioning was on point. The water pressure was outstanding. It was clean. The Dollar General is 2 miles down the road and they have everything you’ll need. And the host communication was perfect! I wish the master bed was a tad more comfortable, but other than that…this home was close to perfection! We lucked out this year because the house next to us was empty this week, so it was super quiet. That said, depending on your neighbors your week might not be as quiet as ours. But still 9.5/10

Great location, comfy house

My wife and I along with our sons, 23 and 21, spent memorial week at the “cottage by the shore”. We were beach bums all week and this placed was perfect. If you want the beauty of the beach, smaller crowds, and a porch you could sit on for days, this is the absolute perfect place for you.

Great Stay

Our family had a great time at the Cottage on the Shore! We enjoyed the easy access to the beach. Just a two minute walk thru the sand dunes to the beach. The house was clean and communication with the host was good. I would recommend buying groceries in Gulf Shores before heading out to the house. The quick access to the beach was awesome, and the house is further away from the public access points to the beach so it felt like you head the beach to yourself. Definitely would recommend and would stay again!

Charming vacation away!

We really enjoyed our stay! It was wonderful to get away for a little while with family and enjoy the beach. The location is in a super cute neighborhood and is very cozy and quiet! Just a short walk to the ocean, it was absolutely PERFECT for us!

About the host

Hosted by Heather

Originally from New Orleans, I stuck to the city most of my life and only started taking consistent trips to the beach as an adult. I didn't know what I was missing! The serenity at the beach just resets your soul, so as a host, I love being able to help others experience this as well. We all need that!

Why they chose this property

I chose the neighborhood by accident. I was looking for something in Gulf Shores but had never been to the Fort Morgan area because I didn't know it existed. I thought all of Gulf Shores was surrounded by condominiums. So, what I enjoy most about the area is the space and privacy. However, if you want to venture out, you don't have to drive far. It's perfect to me; the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

It has a beachfront feel without the beachfront price. The reason it has the feel of a beachfront is because the lot between the house and the beach is currently empty meaning that nothing is obstructing the beach view. Also, the deed to the property includes the access path to the beach, so you're not trespassing when you walk straight from your doorstep to the beach.
