Escape the winter chill and settle into your peaceful southern sanctuary! This 1‑bed, 1‑bath condo on Fort Morgan Road is tailor-made for snowbirds seeking calm, comfort, and Southern charm.
Below is everything you need to know:
Property Highlights – What Makes This Condo Stand Out?
•Exclusively Snowbird-Friendly — Special monthly winter rates (Nov–Jan) with discounts for stays 60+ days.
•All-in-One Comfort — Fully stocked kitchen (cook, bake, enjoy), high-speed Wi-Fi & Smart TV.
•Outdoor & Resort-Style Amenities — Two indoor hot tubs, outdoor pools, sauna, steam room, tennis courts, grill area, and library.
•First-Floor Privacy & Views — secluded unit with balcony views—hear the Gulf waves and breathe in the soothing sea breeze.
Inside the Condo – Cozy & Practical
•Bright and airy open-concept layout: kitchen flows into dining and living areas.
•Living Room: comfy sofas (plus sofa bed), Smart TV, and balcony access.
•Primary Bedroom: queen bed, Smart TV, attached bath with full tub/shower.
•Essentials for long-stay comfort: linens, towels, hairdryer, iron, plenty of storage.

•Recreation on site: golf at Kiva Dunes, tennis and putting green, accessible grills, clubhouse/restaurant, and community library.
•Convenience elements: easy parking and on-site laundry room.
•Perfect Location – Here’s What Sets It Apart:
Quiet, Secluded Fort Morgan — tucked away west of Gulf Shores; the top spot for a calm, uncrowded winter escape
Walking Distance:

•Restaurant/clubhouse on-site.
Short Drives To:
•Fort Morgan Beach access ~1–2 minutes away.
•Historic Fort Morgan & boat launch/pier—check out Civil War fort tours and birdwatching
Favorite Walkable Spot!!!
My personal go-to? The on-site clubhouse at Kiva Dunes—a brew and a chat over the putting green, followed by a meal or snack without ever hopping in the car.
What You'll LOVE About the Area
•Natural Serenity: 36 miles of uncrowded beach perfect for relaxing walks, paddling, or birdwatching—plus solitude you won’t find in Gulf Shores.
•Coastal Lifestyle: Fresh seafood—from the Gulf paired with farm fresh vegetables (Sassy Bass, Jesse’s on the Bay), ending the night with delicious desert from The Village Creamery at The Beach Club.
•Prime Recreation: Fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, biking, and nearby golfing—all minutes from your doorstep.
•Local Events and Entertainment: From food festivals to live music and concerts, you can always find something to do even during the colder months.
What I LOVE About This Property
•Peace & Privacy: No spring break noise, no busy boardwalks—just comfy tranquility.
•Comfort Meets Convenience: Steps from the first-floor laundry room and full kitchen make long-term stays feel like home.
•Gulf Breezes & Sunrise Views: From the balcony, hear waves crash and start your day with sun on the water.
•Community Amenities: Hot tubs, pools, tennis courts, and a library—all shared with friendly neighbors in a welcoming community.
Snowbird Season Snapshot
•Availability: November through January.
•Rates: Monthly specials available—ask for 60+ day discounts.

About the host
Hosted by Taylor Tillman
Hi! Thank you for checking out our property! My name is Taylor, and I am a local from Magnolia Springs, AL, which is about 30-45 minutes from our Gulf Shores Plantation unit. Living down here is a true blessing, and I get to do all my favorite things: attend just about every concert at The Wharf Amphitheater, go to the beach, take Sunday boat rides, and go fishing!
What I enjoy most about being a host is getting to know our guests. Living down here my whole life, you can sometimes take it granted and hearing why some of our guests are coming to the beach whether it is to celebrate an anniversary, first vacation as a family, or celebrating the life of a lost loved one, it reminds me how the beach is more than my hometown, it is also a place where people come to make unforgettable memories spent with family or friends. BUT, I don't host alone! My grandmother is the lady in charge and me and her other grandchild help her! It has been a fun journey and allows us to spend more time with her.

Why they chose this property
This neighborhood has grown near and dear to my heart. I have been coming down to Fort Morgan since I was a newborn! My grandparents built a beach house on their family land down Fort Morgan Road, just .2 miles from Gulf Shores Plantation, and this is where we spent all of our summers, creating unforgettable memories and meeting friends that turned to family. One thing I admire most about the neighborhood is even though it is more secluded, it has grown into its own little beach town.
There are amazing restaurant options: Sassy Bass Island Grill, Sassy Bass Amazin’ Grill, Fort Morgan Pizza, Jesse’s on the Bay, Tacky Jack’s, and so many more!
Beautiful walking scene: Morning walks are unbeatable down Fort Morgan, even at Gulf Shores Plantation, and the walk around Kiva Dunes.
Quiet and relaxing: Rarely do you see large or loud groups at the complex or along the beaches. This area is catered to snowbirds and families, offering a more relaxing and calm environment during colder months.
