There is a reason Pelican Landing is a 10 out of 10... We had a wonderful stay and really appreciate the thoughtfulness of the host here. Leah was very good at communicating and the cottage was well furnished for our family. We would definitely come back if we ever get the opportunity! My only complaint is that it is so far away!
We enjoyed our first time in the area at this place. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The beach is a short drive and pools are not heated.
Wonderful rental located in the Rookery. Very clean and well maintained. Quite neighborhood host was excellent to respond to any question. Would highly recommend. Shored Shores
Went to the area for a fishing trip and the house was conveniently located near everything we needed. House was clean and the neighborhood was nice and peaceful.
We enjoyed a great vacation at a prime site near the beaches of Fort Morgan, AL. The property was perfect for a family - near the beaches and multiple pools within walking distance. I highly recommend it.
This property was perfect for our stay!! It was very clean and just the right size for our group. Had all the amenities you could think of and was just a short drive to the beach. Leah was so sweet and easy to deal with. We had a great time!

About the host
Hosted by Leah McDonnell
We're Kyle & Leah McDonnell... a fun, laid back, adventurous, duo from Birmingham, Alabama. Owning on the beach has been a goal of ours since we were newlyweds and after 18 years, we finally made that goal a reality! We are extremely proud of our little cottage and hope that you will love it as much as we do. I was in property management for 21 years prior to becoming a Realtor, so I have the drive & knowledge to provide you impeccable accommodations & service. Kyle, who is my very own "Bob Villa" manages an ambulance service throughout Central Alabama. We have two wonderful boys, Sam & Jake. We are a true "House Divided"...Sam & I cheer for The Crimson Tide, while Kyle & Jake bleed Orange & Blue for the Auburn Tigers. When we are not working, you can find us at our cozy cottage or drinking a fruity umbrella cocktail on a Carnival Cruise Ship.
