About this property

Paws & Relax w/ Dual King Suites, Stunning Views, & Updates Galore-Dog-Friendly

Escape the crowds and discover the perfect beach retreat at Paws & Relax, a newly updated, meticulously maintained home just 20-25 minutes from Gulf Shores but a world away from the hustle and bustle! This charming 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom haven is tucked away on a quiet, dead-end street and offers the ideal combination of relaxation and adventure. You’ll see why our 5-star reviews speak for themselves!

Wake up to the sight of the Gulf and bay from our spacious, covered front porch—your new favorite spot for sipping coffee and listening to the waves gently roll in. Inside, you'll find two luxurious king suites, each featuring plush memory foam mattresses and private bathrooms. Our bunk room comfortably sleeps up to 5 more guests with full-over-full and twin-over-twin bunks that are custom-built to accommodate adults too!

Grab the beach towels and chairs and load up one of the provided beach carts for a short 150-yard stroll that brings you to the soft, white sands of the beach. After a fun-filled day in the sun, rinse off the salt and sand in the convenient, enclosed outdoor shower, complete with both hot and cold water. Then, fire up the top-of-the-line charcoal grill for a sunset BBQ under the house, where you'll find two picnic tables shaded and ready for an outdoor feast.

The Paws & Relax experience doesn’t stop there—this family- and dog-friendly home features a gated front porch for the little ones (and pups), a spacious living area with a 75" Roku Smart TV for movie nights, and a fully stocked kitchen, perfect for whipping up everything from breakfast to a beachside dinner.

After a peaceful day at the beach and dinner, wind down with a glass of wine on the front porch, listening to the sounds of the waves and watching the sunset. Whether you’re looking to relax, explore, or simply enjoy some quality family time, Paws & Relax is your perfect home away from home.

The best part? We welcome your furry, canine friends (pet fee applies), so you can truly make it a family vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Garmon

Host profile image
We first visited Fort Morgan in 2017 in search of a place we could take our dog with us on a beach vacation. Needless to say we fell in love. On our third trip to Fort Morgan in October of 2018 we bought the property. By July 2019 Paws & Relax was built! It was a whirlwind and we wouldn't change a thing. We have truly fallen in love with the area and the people.

Why they chose this property

Fort Morgan is a beautiful peninsula surrounded by Mobile Bay on one side and the Gulf of Mexico. We fell in love with the area due to its more laid back, less crowded beaches and wonderful people.

What makes this property unique

All memory foam mattresses.
