“Sandy” is the ideal family beach house. We spent much of our youth on the gulf coast, so we know what families look for in a beach home. We offer a private pool, outdoor hot & cold shower, comfortable beds, and enough sit-down dining and sleeping space for 10 (huge dining table). Our beautiful home has stunning gulf views from the front and beach forest views from the back. Our feet never hit the pavement since we are just a few steps from the gulf. Our three screened-in porches are a bird watcher’s paradise. Sea turtles, the endangered beach mouse, and other diverse wild life thrive here. Bottle Nose Dolphins are almost a daily site, and during certain times of the year, the famous Blue Angels practice their air shows in our view. The adjoining gulf side neighborhoods provide us with a safe place to ride bikes, and we are a short sand trail walk to a restaurant, grocery, and liquor store. Our guests will never want to leave this perfect beach house. The main house upstairs includes a queen bedroom with private bathroom and a screen porch; the sea turtle room with two adult-friendly twins; and a day room that converts to a private bedroom with locking, acoustical accordion doors (the two adult-friendly twins can be joined). Sandy also includes a second component: a separate guest cabin on the ground level. The cabin makes for an ideal suite for a couple or a hangout for those surly teenagers. The cabin includes a private queen bedroom with screened-in porch, a full bathroom, and a day room with two comfy twin beds and kitchenette (French doors make the day room private). Wanting to spoil our guests a little, we also include these other amenities: an ice maker machine, three beach bikes, beach umbrellas, a big beach cart, and well-stocked, quality kitchen utensils. Our kitchen has a gas range and a large quartz counter top with bar stools for fellowship. Our on-demand hot water system keeps those showers hot for all in the group. For our hi-tech generation, Sandy is equipped with five flat screen tvs and hi-speed Internet with free WiFi. Sandy is the best family beach house in Fort Morgan!

Fall Beach Vacation
We had a wonderful time staying at the Sandy home. It has everything you need. The front screened in porch is wonderful for your morning coffee and to view the gulf view. The owners have an overabundance of beach items and infant supplies.
The house was spotless and comfortable.
Thank you so much for making our family vacation perfect.
We will be back next October!

Fantastic family (and more) stay
Loved the layout, location, amenities etc. they thought of everything on this one.
Plenty of towels. Great post-beach shower area for two.
Plenty of space. Cooking equipment etc.
The “apartment” downstairs probably fits another family, but for sure fits another whole couple.
Everything was great!

Loved the house and location…everything was as described. This was the best house we have stayed at so far and we have been visiting Fort Morgan for years. The commercial ice maker was an added bonus! If I had any recommendations, maybe add some softer mattress but this didn’t affect our stay. We will definitely look to stay here next year.
Thank you!

Sandy is the best!
Sandy was by far the best gulf shores rental we’ve stayed at! The heated pool and all the beach supplies were an amazing amenity. Everything about sandy was in my opinion perfect down to the house layout. There is a down stair suite perfect for grandparents or in-laws to give much needed space after a day on the beach and swimming in the pool. The ice maker was extremely handy no more running to get ice every other day. This will be our go-to rental for the foreseeable future on all our gulf shores trips.

Sandy on the beach
This home was amazing. It is exactly as promised and more than we expected. The location is so good. A short walk to the beach or to a really amazing resturant. The home is spacious with an additional mother in law type suite with small fridge and full bathroom. The things that stood out to us as a family were the extras. They had boogie boards and sand toys, a cart to pull items to the beach. We saved so much space knowing they had the things we would need. Plenty of kitchen items as well. We will definitely be booking this home again.

The BEST place to stay! Couldn’t recommend this more! We loved it here!
I don’t even know where to start. This is a hidden gem and we have never been to Gulf Shores before and we are already planning a trip back. We were pleasantly surprised about all the amenities available to us. From beach toys to high chairs to all the cooking tools available this place really supplies everything you need. You can also walk to the market, walk to the bar or take a nice drive into town it really is a great spot. We are busy working parents of four children in every stage of life (14, 10, 2 and 1) and they loved it. From morning coffee watching the sunrise to start the day on the deck with our one year old to playing in the pool to walks on the beach at sunset and cooking up a storm this place has it all. We found the cutest breakfast place down the street and it had such a small town feel perfect for our busy family. Our ten year old got sick and the owners couldn’t have been sweeter about it. Absolutely loved our stay and cannot wait to come back!

Checked all the boxes and more!
We had a wonderful Friendsgiving. Our friends had two younger children (3 &5) and my 11 year old daughter who loved the heated pool, especially on the colder days.
The home was very clean, plenty of towels, and kitchen gadgets for all our needs. Having the laundry room was extremely convenient, and we wished we would have packed less.
It was a great stay!

Excellent Family Getaway
What can I say about this place? We are a family of 5 so it was plenty big enough for us. We could easily have fit several more people into the sitting rooms on the convertible sofas. Our twin 15 year olds loved the small apartment that is under the main house, they felt so independent! The house itself is great, everything you need so you can save space while traveling. Kitchen utensils, beach toys and chairs, the cart for hauling stuff to the beach, it was great! We had one issue while there with a TV going bad while we watched football. I messaged the owners and they came out and had it replaced the next day! Sitting out on the screened porch every morning I had my coffee and read while relaxing on the nice bench couches out there, was hard for me to leave that spot! The pool was great for late afternoons and evenings as we relaxed around the house. We are already talking about booking again next year! Don't pass this one up!

We have stayed at many VRBO rentals and this is hands down the BEST! An exceptionally clean property with amazing views from almost everywhere inside and outside the house. Incredibly well stocked kitchen and house overall. We enjoyed all 3 screened porches, the short walk to the beach and the pool with a view of the ocean. My teenagers enjoyed the bikes provided and the beach equipment that was provided. Not one detail left undone at this property. Communication with owners was quick and amazing. We had absolutely no issues.
Absolutely will visit again.

Acerca del anfitrión
Anfitrión: Glenn and Kendra Richardson
Sandy was inspired by my husband's family beach house designed by an architect from Mobile in the 1950s. My husband took design elements from this family beach house as a model for our house. Sandy's modern architecture combines concrete, stainless steel, cedar, pine, and Ipe (a Brazilian hardwood about as hard as concrete) to make a beautiful, masculine, powerful statement. Exposed construction materials emphasize both its strength and beauty.
Por qué eligió esta propiedad
First came the lot. We found the lot that had everything we were looking for. See Unique Benefits below for an explanation.
Qué distingue a esta propiedad
Storm surge is a reality here, so building back from the beach a little onto some of the highest elevation on the peninsula protects us and positions us to having a really great view of the beach and our lovely adjoining neighborhood. Sandy sits at the dead end of a little road on a water access point--so the beach is JUST RIGHT THERE. We have the best of both worlds here at Sandy: a house that sits on the edge of pristine beach wilderness and a location near the town center. We never have to drive our car when we are here; we either walk or ride bikes wherever we desire to go. We live in harmony with some very special wildlife, including the sea turtle and beach mouse, yet we walk a short beach trail to a well-stocked marketplace that provides us with all that we need. If we do choose to drive somewhere, we are an easy, 15-minute drive to all the chain places (Rouses, Publix, Target, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, etc). And though we are also this short drive to some famous festivals-- including Shrimp Fest and the Hangout Festival--we find ourselves being totally grounded by our therapeutic paradise here at Sandy.
