Fantastic location

My family really enjoyed staying at Cabana Beach! We love staying on the Fort Morgan side of Gulf Shores. We will definitely be staying here again. Loved the short walk to the water, and the place has everything you need.

We loved this place. The view was beautiful, both of the ocean and the dunes, and it was so convenient being close to the beach. Very serene even during spring break. Everything was very clean and all went smoothly. We especially appreciated the responsiveness and helpfulness of the owners. We will be back!

It is very seldom we receive one star. Second time in 20 years. Can you describe the issues? The house is only meant for people up to four. Any information is helpful. Donna

The property was clean, and exactly as described. Communication with the host was excellent. I can’t really give a review of the beach, because we stayed immediately after tropical storm Bertha. However, the locals told us that the beach is normally clean, with clear calm water. There is a nice sandy pathway a few steps away from the beach. The deck off of the living room and bedroom has a great unobstructed view of the ocean. We enjoyed our morning coffee sitting out there. Everything we needed for our stay was provided. I highly recommend this property!

What a wonderful beach house!! The furnishings are very comfortable, clean, and updated. Each of the 4 of us (ages 75, 40, 6, and 1) found favorite spots in the living room where we could pursue our own activities with space and coziness. The kitchen had everything we needed. The deck that surrounds the house gave us multiple beautiful views of the water, the dunes, flowers, and even a fireworks display from the neighboring resort. All the amenities with impressive privacy. Looking forward to returning!!
