Summary:

The Robin's Nest



The Space:

Affectionately known as The Robin's Nest, this delightful Fort Morgan house offers a prime locale just 600’ from the sugar-white beach! With such a great location, it’s easy to make the most of sun-soaked days beside the Gulf. Travel 2.5 miles to Fort Morgan -- home to a historic fort dating back to 1833. Or head 10 miles to enjoy hiking and nature-spotting around Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. The pristine fairways of Kiva Dunes Resort and Golf are 6.3 miles away. Find family fun at The Park at OWA, 28 miles away. This 520-acre amusement park and entertainment venue features classic carnival rides and roller coasters, as well as seasonal events and live shows.



Rinse off any residual sand in the outdoor shower, then head inside to kick back and relax in the stylish living area, tastefully appointed with a pair of sofas, an oversized armchair, and a 50'' TV. It's easy to prepare your favorite meals in the well-equipped kitchen, outfitted with a full suite of appliances and an open-concept extended bar for guests. For a change of pace, throw something on one of the grills under the house and sear your meals to perfection. When it’s time to eat, gather together at the dining table. Enjoy the coastal breeze on your front porch, or dine alfresco on the screened porch at a table. The sun rises on the front porch side of the home, while the screened porch offers tranquil sunset vistas, providing the perfect way to begin and end every day.

Nice place

Very nice, clean and quiet place to stay. If you want to stay outside of all the hustle and bustle going on in town I’d highly recommend staying here! Short walk to the beach! The only thing I didn’t like was that the 2 bedrooms downstairs do not have ceiling fans.

As advertised!

The location was a short 2 min walk to the beach and just down the road from the marina. Accommodations were as advertised and included plenty of room for all. If you are looking for a place off the beaten path and away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Gulf Shores, then this worked well.

Robins Nest was great

The Robins nest property was better than sold. it was a great property. House was very clean. had everything we needed right there in the house. Use of the beach toys, cart and chairs (kept under the house) was a bonus. would book this again if we did the same trip to Gulf Shores

Nice beach vacation home.

We loved our stay here. Nice rooms AC worked beautifully. Just a short walk to a lovely beach with white sand and low on crowds. Enjoyed the variety of marine life, seeing dolphins daily, blue crabs, and even saw some so grays jumping out of the water. Enjoyed kayaking and boogie boarding. Home is nicely furnished and we appreciated the use of cooler, beach umbrella, and chairs. Our kids loved playing corn hole with the set there. Televisions in every room was nice and beds comfortable. Wonderful memories!

Nice house

The house was as described and nice. The only issue we had was through no fault of anyone but the horn on the oil rig that sounded incessantly throughout our trip. Other than that, it was pleasant.

Great stay

We were really happy with our trip to Fort Morgan for spring break. This property was just what we needed. 2 families with 2 children each. The rooms were just the right size and the kids loved having a tv in their rooms! The check in process was very easy and the house was clean. We had a problem with the upstairs shower not draining well, and when I notified the property manager, he came out the next day with some Drano that fixed it right up! We loved having snacks and coffee out on the porch. The house was very convenient to the beach and to restaurants nearby. We would recommend this property!
