Located on Fort Morgan, Beach Castle is close to many restaurants, golf courses, and other things to do, feels away from it all (but is only a short drive to all the hubbub on Gulf Shores itself), and is often a more cost-efficient choice for those who seek something a little more laid back. Plus, as an added bonus, our Fort Morgan vacation homes are not currently subject to the same restrictions on setting up umbrellas and other amenities overnight as those in Gulf Shores itself.
TWO REFRIGERATORS Two? Per side? Yes two. Because you won't want to stay somewhere without an extra fridge once you have had them.
POOL Big. Private to the two sides of the duplex: no sharing with other places nearby. The pool is open all year. It's big! 30x15x3-5'! Rectangle. Lounge chairs are provided around the pool.
WIFI/INTERNET YES! We have an awesome Eero mesh network to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home!? That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like? It is generally solid and ran > 100Mb down the last test--sufficient for several simultaneous video conference sessions for remote work and education. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests "troubleshooting" it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though, and likely better since its close in and new construction!
PARKING There is available onsite, offstreet, parking for at least 6 midsize vehicles (per side), more if you stack well. In duplex units, please be neighborly about this.
SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, GRILLS ETC ETC As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a "starter supply" of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, grills are not provided, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have both drip coffee makers and Keurigs as well.
PETS We do consider well-behaved canine furry friends at many locations. This requires owner pre-approval, and is subject to a pet fee (currently $250 per pet). Approval in a duplex location, especially for peak weeks, generally is only available for guests renting both sides of the duplex. Please inquire.
No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

We had a wonderful time at Beach Castle this year! Thank you!
We loved our stay at Beach Castle Westwith extended family. Our crew of 20 had so much space, and rooms for all the kids. The location on the beach is fantastic and not crowded at all. Try Tacky Jacks in Fort Morgan for great food and sunset views. The owners were great to work with. We hope to return again next year!!

A little stretch of paradise... and that beachfront pool too!

Enjoyed my stay
Loved being able to stay for almost two months this fall. Nice and relaxing on the beach. Beach Castle was in great shape after last years hurricane Sally. Thanks for having me again!
The house was better than expected. Everything was clean and organized. The pool area was nice and the beach was not crowded and it was clean. It is a little out of Gulf Shores but enjoyed the quiet, non crowed location. Could not have asked for better. We will stay there when we visit again. The owners corresponded quickly if I had questions which I really appreciated. Thank you for the use of your home!

Amazing beach!!!
Big, very clean. Comfortable. We had the beach to ourselves, seemed that way anyway. And great big pool. Thank you so much for having us.
Great property with awesome view. Plenty of beds and bathrooms! Easy to cook for and feed our large group. Some of the furniture in the main living area was outdated and unstable, a couple of the sinks were leaking and a shower door was difficult to use but we alerted the company about those things.

🤗 Thanks Joe! Really appreciate the warm fuzzy--and taking a moment to share your excellent Thanksgiving experience at Beach Castle! And I appreciate you letting BamaBeachHouses know about a leak under the sink, and a recalcitrant door. Appreciate that too! Seems like there is always a sink leak somewhere with a slow drip drip and I really appreciate when folks let us know since it often goes missed, and water... well, not good! Glad you alll had a fantastic turkey week, and if there is anything I can do for you, if you have ANY suggestions at all, or when ready to lock in a return trip to the Gulf, poke me anytime! Thanks again! 🙏

Instructional designer. Behavior change researcher. Father of 3. Teacher. Soccer coach. Hoosier. I'm interested in why people do the things they do, what we can do to change those things so that folks live happier and healthier lives, and how technology can help. Plus, well, I love Gulf Shores!
Beach Castle. BC is a nice change of pace. BIG pool. Big beach. Big place. Not so big price. Fort Morgan is more chill, a laidback vibe. Leave your chairs on the beach, carry a beverage, no worries. Setup volleyball? You bet. Beach Castle is the perfect place for folks looking for beachfront chill for a large group, and a pricepoint markedly lower than similar homes in the Gulf Shores or Orange Beach area. Heck, 10% lower taxes, so you are sticking it to the man a litte too, and every little bit helps, right?! But, again, Beach Castle is by no means little. Big place. Great space. Check her out. You will, like many MANY of my guests, end up coming back year over year over year...
My wife's family have traveled to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Alabama for decades. I became a tag along in the late 1990s, so a Gulf Shores guy by marriage. One thing led to another and we ended up a several large, family-friendly, large group friendly, places along the Gulf.
