Outdoor Space & Beach Access
The decks off the main living areas offer room to gather for beautiful Gulf views and stunning sunsets, creating the perfect place to relax after a day at the beach.

About the host
Hosted by Alana Zimmer
We actually met on the Alabama Gulf Coast, so this stretch of beach is meaningful to us.
Afterglow on the Gulf is a home we truly care about, and we manage it ourselves. We’re hands-on and involved. When something needs attention, we take care of it.
We love big beach trips here, the kind where coffee is on early, and everyone drifts back and forth from the beach and pools all-day. That’s what this house is meant for. We want it to feel easy, comfortable, and relaxed from the moment you arrive.
Why they chose this property
Fort Morgan just feels different. It’s quieter, less crowded, and more laid back than the high-rise areas. You can actually spread out on the beach and hear the waves without feeling packed in.
At the same time, you still have the convenience of Gulf Shores Plantation, pools, on-site restaurants, and Kiva Dunes just a few minutes walk away. It’s calm without being isolated, which is exactly why we love it.
What makes this property unique
What really makes Afterglow work is the layout. It’s eight bedrooms, but it’s also two connected spaces, which means two kitchens and two living rooms. Large groups can stay together without feeling like they’re on top of each other.
Being just one house back from beachfront, with nothing but dunes and the Gulf to our west, it's like we are practically beachfront. Being so close to the sand and water means you’re close enough to run back for snacks, lunch or to get more stuff without hesitation. It really makes a beach vacation so much easier. And you still get absolutely stunning Gulf views from the deck and upstairs balconies, especially of sunsets - which is why we named our house Afterglow.
