About this property

Great views - Pools & Beach!

Diamondmine is not on a beachfront lot but it is located directly on the sand with no streets to cross.

Highlights

Diamondmine is a 7 bedroom (4 king-sized beds!), 6 bath home that sits directly on the sand! No streets to cross to get to the beach and you'll love the convenience of being able to return to the house if you need to replenish supplies or just take a break from the sun. This custom home is well designed and beautifully decorated and you'll quickly fall in love with your new "home away from home". Guests love that the home is spacious and very well appointed, and they appreciate that the beach is sparsely populated. Pro-Tip: No need to use the neighborhood beach access boardwalks. There is a walking easement that will take you directly to the water!

The Space

The owner really has thought of everything. When you enter from the deck, you'll find a handy ""mudroom"" unit. Perfect for beach towels, hats, bags and sunglasses. Everything will be readily available for the next trek to the beach.

Hard surface flooring makes it easy to keep the sand under control and you'll find loads of seating for mealtime. Counter seater, bar seating and a custom-made dining table. All featuring contemporary silver chairs.

The kitchen will please the chefs in the group with gorgeous quartz countertops, huge refrigerators, 2 microwaves and even 2 dishwashers that will make entertaining a large group seem effortless. Bonus! There is even a separate ice maker!

Feel free to dine al fresco at the picnic table located on the deck.

Diamondmine has 3 Master King Suites with view, 1 King with view, 1 Guest Queen, and two bunk rooms. In addition, there is a hallway TV seating area for kids. There are 9 flat screen TVs mounted collectively on the walls of Diamondmine.

Main Floor: (K) Primary w/ private bath w/ walk in shower - (Q) w/ hall bath
2nd Floor: (K) w/ private bath - (K) w/ private bath - (K) w/ hall bath - 2(F/F) bunks w/ shared bath - 2(F/F) bunks w/ shared bath

The owner has purchased the two oceanfront lots in front of Diamondmine to protect the beautiful views from this outstanding home. Two narrow homes, flanking far left and far right, are currently being constructed. Guests at Diamondmine will continue to enjoy the awesome views. We are excited about this news and so pleased that the spectacular view will be preserved forever. Continue to check back for updated photos.

* Renter must be at least 25 years of age. Guests under 25 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

For your safety and protection, this home is equipped with 2 two exterior cameras underneath the house.

Fort Morgan and Morgantown

Morgantown is a lovely, unique seaside community featuring two swimming pools, a kiddie pool, two lighted tennis/pickleball courts and several beach access boardwalks. When you first arrive, you'll notice pride of ownership in this pastel colored, beautifully landscape neighborhood. Guests really enjoy walking and biking along the quiet streets and many rent golf carts and enjoy sunset drives. Diamondmine is pet friendly and so are the Morgantown beaches so the whole family can join in the fun!

Located a scenic 15 miles from Gulf Shores, you'll find everything you need close at hand. Dollar General and Sassy Bass Market are just a few miles away and have all the basics you might need. There are several restaurants nearby offering a variety of tasty dishes. Tacky Jack's, Sassy Bass (2 locations), Coast and brand-new Jesse's to name a few. Some venues even offer live, local entertainment.

Fort Morgan fishing pier is now open, and anglers will have access to convenient inshore fishing and the abundant species locally available.

Lovely home with great views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our original house canceled on us three weeks before our vacation due to unforeseen circumstances, luckily this house was available to fit our large group! Of course, I looked at pictures, but the house was even better in person than it was online. It was very clean, the kitchen was so well stocked, probably the most well equipped kitchen we have had. We have been coming to this area for over 10 years with a large group of friends and this year was definitely one of the best. We had great communication with the property manager, she addressed our questions immediately as well. The beds were comfortable, everything was clean, and the beach was easily accessible. Wonderful house and we highly recommend it!

Great family vacation

The house is just as pictured and very clean! Beds were comfortable. We loved having 2 refrigerators and an ice maker. Easy access to the beach. Excellent property management!! We worked with Dee Dee who was amazing. We had an issue with a sink not draining. We texted Dee Dee, and it was fixed within a couple of hours. Would stay again!

Great accommodations for High School soccer team

Out boys high school soccer team and two coaches stayed here during a 4 day tournament in Foley. The location was perfect to give the boys access to the beach while secluded enough for the coaches to relax. The property is amazing and coach already wants to book it for next years tournament.

The house was extra spacious for our tennis team! The location was great! It will be nice when they finish the two houses in front of ours so the sand area in front of this house will be clean, but it was a nice view from our deck!

Great spot in Ft Morgan!

Our family of 18 gathered here for a week Long Beach vacay and the house was perfect! Location was great as it was just steps from the beach but only a 15 minute drive to Gulf Shores. Tennis courts and pools in the neighborhood were a great benefit. The property manager was fantastic! She was so helpful and answered any questions immediately! We would stay here again.
