About this property
Perfect Peaceful Beach Getaway! Snowbirds Welcome!
Our Beach Bungalow is the perfect place for a beach getaway! Come enjoy Alabama's beaches the way they used to be. The Rookery unit 1701 is located 14 miles down Fort Morgan Road, away from all the high-rise condos in Gulf Shores. You can enjoy uncrowded beaches, nature trails, wildlife, and plenty of room to relax. Just a short 10 min walk to the beach!
Our Beach Bungalow is the perfect spot for your beach vacation! This cute beach cottage has hardwood floors throughout, comfortable seating, 3 flat screen TVs with over 140 HD channels, games for the kids, DVDs to enjoy, free wireless internet, and much more! The master bedroom has a king sized bed and private bathroom. The guest bedroom has a queen sized bed and bedroom #3 has 2 sets of full/twin bunks. There is plenty of space for families of all sizes! Bed linens, bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths, and kitchen towels are provided. A few extras are added in to make our guests feel at home (starter supplies of garbage bags, dish soap, laundry packs, toilet paper, and paper towels). The unit has a full sized washer and dryer to make laundry easy.
There are 2 swimming pools and a spa to enjoy. The largest pool is a zero entry pool that is perfect for splashing, sunbathing, and swimming. The pool is just steps away from your front porch. Golf carts are allowed, so bring one and enjoy easy access to the beach or rent one when you get here! BBQ grills and picnic tables are scattered throughout The Rookery, so bring your charcoal and grill out. There is a large tennis court and lots of space to park your boat or golf cart.
There is plenty to keep you busy in the area. There are several golf courses to choose from, Wave Runner Rentals, Water Parks, Gulf Coast Zoo, Putt Putt Golf, Dinner Cruises, Shopping at the Outlet Malls and The Wharf, Various Festivals (seasonal) & Night Life. Tour historic Fort Morgan just a few miles away or take the ferry over to Dauphin Island for a visit to the Dauphin Island Estuary. Several restaurants, a marina and boat dock are nearby. Nearby along Fort Morgan Road is the scenic Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge.. a haven for nature lovers.
Our bungalow is a non-smoking unit. Pets are not allowed.

About the host
Hosted by Katie and Rob Gillespie
We are a family of 6 from Ohio and love our beach bungalow. We have some grown kids but some still in school. Can't wait to be able to fully snow bird at our place.
Why they chose this property
We love the close proximity to the beach and having such a beautiful pool in the Rookery.
What makes this property unique
We have a beautiful 3 bedroom bungalow all on one level. We lovingly care for our place and hope that many families can enjoy like we do. The kids love the bunk room!
