About this property

Catalina – Beachfront Classic | Pet Friendly | Fort Morgan

Catalina – Beachfront Classic | Pet Friendly | Fort Morgan

Welcome to Catalina, the one that started it all. This charming beachfront cottage was the very first home purchased by Steve and Becky Harris in 1983, marking the beginning of what is now Harris Vacations. Perfectly positioned along the sugar white sands of Fort Morgan, Catalina offers sweeping views of the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Mexico and a laid back coastal setting that keeps guests returning year after year. This beautifully renovated two bedroom beachfront cottage sleeps up to eight guests and welcomes up to two dogs, making it ideal for families who want every member along for the adventure. The beaches of Fort Morgan are pet friendly, and Catalina makes it easy to enjoy them together.

Conveniently located near other Harris Vacations homes including Fountain of Youth and Point Clear, Catalina is perfect for large families or groups who want to vacation close to one another while still enjoying their own private space.

Outdoor Living
- Direct Gulf front location on the emerald waters of Fort Morgan
- Covered beachfront balcony with comfortable seating
- Private outdoor shower for rinsing off after beach days
- Park style barbecue grill for outdoor cooking
- Gravel driveway for convenient parking
- Dog friendly for up to two pets with paid fees

Indoor Comforts
Step inside this renovated beachfront retreat and enjoy an open living concept filled with natural light and incredible gulf views. The comfortable living area features plush seating, a flat screen television, and direct balcony access that leads straight to the sand.

The updated kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances and stone countertops, making meal preparation simple and enjoyable. Gather around the dining table for family dinners or sip your morning coffee at the bistro table while watching the waves roll in. A washer and dryer are available for added convenience during extended stays.

Sleeping Arrangements
- Bedroom 1: King bed, twin bunk bed, television, private bathroom with walk in tile shower
- Bedroom 2: Queen bed, television, private bathroom with walk in tile shower
- Living Room: Sofa bed

Experience where the Harris Vacations story began. With unmatched beachfront views, pet friendly accommodations, and the peaceful charm of Fort Morgan, Catalina is more than a vacation home — it is a coastal tradition.

The house is right on the beach as seen in the pictures, and sitting on the back porch was so relaxing. We loved the great views from every room and the shades were great at night. All details were considered in this house from a comfortable bed and furniture, nice showers, a great stocked kitchen, hooks to hang wet towels and a dog-friendly floor. We loved our stay!

Very nice and relaxing

The cabin we rented was a bit off the beaten path but the beach was not at all crowded and the water was nice. It was clean and comfortable and met some very nice neighbors. I would recommend it as a great place to get away and relax!

We were looking for a place right on the beach away from the commercial properties and this house was perfect. The beach is clean and not over crowded. Friendly polite neighbors. I’ll definitely recommend this to others and plan on coming back again!

The beds are amazing to sleep in. The shower and bathtub have some room for improvement as well the cleanliness could be improved some. Overall, a great place and we would book again.

What a view!

My wife and I stayed here for 5 days in September. It was very quiet and relaxing. At times we had the beach to ourselves. Loved the house, it was very clean and had plenty of room. The deck was nice when it got a little warmer. We will definitely be back next year.
