Fun filled week

We all really enjoyed our stay this past week - spending most days out the majority of the day but coming home to the Blue Bungalow each night was comforting! Having what we needed to fix a few meals at the Bungalow was also a plus! And I was able to have my morning coffee!

Relaxing getaway

We had a great time during our stay. The pool is great for kids. The bugs were pretty terrible during our stay though so I’d definitely recommend bringing bug spray.

Great host!

Property is great, located close to the public beach and is walkable if you prefer not to drive. The house has all the things you would need especially if you are coming from out of town (Plates, cups, silverware, pots and pans etc..) easy checkout process unlike some hosts that want you to do everything under the moon, this process was quick, easy and painless. The only complaint I would say is if you have a tempurpedic or other soft mattress you may have trouble sleeping on these beds as they are spring type mattresses and I know that can impact sleep while on vacation. Other than that this home is beautiful, the host is super easy to deal with and you can spend more time enjoying your stay at the Gulf!

Perfect Bungalow

We had the most amazing time at the blue bungalow. This was probably our favorite vacation. The location was so serene and quiet. We rented a golf cart and had a nice drive to the public beach access. If you like family friendly, this is the place for you!

Secluded community close to Gulf Shores

My family of 5 stayed here andnhad a wonderful time. The location was perfect for us. It was close to the beach and town but yet quite and not as busy as the more commercialized areas. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. Scott was very responsive to any questions that we had. We would definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed our stay

We enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and secluded which is what we were looking for. The accommodations were adequate though the a/c unit didn't work very well in the front bedroom. It seemed to work fine in the unit as a whole but the front bedroom was hot even with box fans running. Owner responded quickly to all messages.

Safe and convenient location. The house was beautiful and the environment was relaxing! The kitchen was stocked well with all the essentials to prepare great meals. (All the supplies for cooking and baking that you would have in your own home!) Short and easy drive to the beach, also a reasonable walk. (My husband and younger daughter drove to the beach but my oldest daughter and I walked to and from the beach multiple times a day!) The pool area was VERY close to the house and beautiful and relaxing. The home had boogie boards and beach chairs available to use at the beach. Communication with the host was top notch. We had a personal situation arise during the trip (not related to the house or property) and the owner was beyond helpful and kind during that event. We will definitely stay again. My family had a fantastic time!

About the host

Host profile image
Hi I'm Sarah! I live in Memphis, TN with my husband Scott and our two wild and crazy kiddos. When it's time to slow life down, we enjoy getting the chance to see different parts of the country any chance we get. Creating big family experience is important to us and I hope you and your family have just as much fun on your trips!

Why they chose this property

Thank you for considering our cozy beach bungalow! We found Fort Morgan years ago when we were searching for a peaceful beach town and fell in love with it. The beach is meant for relaxing and The Rookery provides the perfect quiet getaway.

Just like you, we enjoy staying at vacation rentals as well, so our goal is to provide you with the 5-Star experience that we look forward to when we stay at other hosts' homes.

What makes this property unique

If you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of busy beach towns, then Fort Morgan is the place for you. Located just 20 minutes away from Gulf Shores, this quiet beach getaway is the perfect place to unwind.
