About this property

Dog Friendly Private Beach House in Beautiful Fort Morgan, Alabama!

Grab your best dog friend (additional charge per dog) or two and meet us in Fort Morgan! 'Shore Beats Work' is spacious, comfortable, and only steps to the beach. The main living space has ample Gulf views through large windows and glass doors. The 3 king size guest rooms each have a private balcony, 2 have views of the bay and 1 views the Gulf of Mexico. The bunk room has 2 twin size bunkbeds and a T.V.

From your private deck, you can view the water-colored homes, the beautiful emerald waters, and our famous sugar sand beaches. This home has an awesome view from the large deck facing the gulf. The main deck furniture is newer (January 2023). Purchased with the guests comfort in mind, relax and watch the amazing views of the ever changing Alabama sky on our beautiful 6 person Polywood Adirondack chair and table set. This home also has two decks on the north side with amazing views of Mobile Bay!

In our fully stocked kitchen, you will find everything you need to enjoy your vacation including brand new pots, pans and a crockpot. We also have a nice spice cabinet with everything you might need. While cooking in the open kitchen or relaxing on the large comfy sectional couch in the evening, enjoy your favorite TV show(s) on the 55" flat screen Smart, Ultra HD in the living room. There is also free Wi-Fi or enjoy a good beach read from the thoughtful selection of books or enjoy any of the many family games provided by the owners. On the main level of the home, you will find a stand alone shower bathroom with a full size washer and dryer. So no need to go too far to get all cleaned up from a day in the sand.

There are two large windows and a French door that allow an amazing view of the blue water from anywhere in the living room and kitchen. You might even see a dolphin or two swimming by early in the morning.

Included in your stay is access to our fully stocked outdoor beach closet where you will find everything you will need to enjoy a day in the sun. Chairs, shade tents, a beach cart to help get the items to the water, lots of different sand and beach toys, boogie boards, and much much more! Under the home, you will also a find a kayak that you are welcome to take out in the ocean for even more beautiful views of Fort Morgan.

At night, you can watch the twinkling lights of the Gulf of Mexico merge with star-filled skies that are never seen in Gulf Shores or Orange beach. You are just 10 minutes away from our local grocery store Rouses. If your vacation does not include cooking while at the home, there are many restaurants located within just a few miles. Our family favorite is The Sassy Bass!

You are surrounded by nature and the best place to enjoy it is the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, which is located about 6 miles East on Ft. Morgan Rd. About 1/4 mile from the home is Gulf Shores Yacht Club & Marina offering charter fishing, dolphin and sightseeing cruises, and Jet Ski rentals. Tacky Jacks II restaurant and bar are also located at the Marina.

You will find two golf courses located within 10 miles, the Peninsula and Kiva Dunes. Kiva Dunes is the #1 rated golf course in Alabama and represents a most exceptional and unforgettable golf experience and is definitely to be included on your must-play list while visiting the Gulf Coast. Owner Dan (who is an avid golfer) says Peninsula is one of his favorite courses to play!

We are a pet friendly rental and allow up to two dogs, 50lbs or less. Rate is $175 per dog. We will make exceptions for larger dogs on a case per case basis.

We would love to share our beautiful little piece of paradise with you! If you're looking for a beach rental where all you need to do is just show up - then this is the home for you! Come, relax, and let us take care of the rest at 'Shore Beats Work.'
See you at the beach!

Beautiful Home

We loved our stay here. We have been coming to this area for years and this is one of the nicest homes we have stayed at. Short walk to the beach, lots of beach toys for the grandkids. Did have a little glitch with communication with property manager, once she texted me we were able to resolve. Overall would highly recommend this property for a relaxing family vacation!

Family vacay 2024

We chose Shore Beats Work because of location, size and accommodations. But, what we got was all that and more. There is not one thing overlooked in this rental. This home is beautifully decorated and fully stocked with any cooking utensil, pot or pan, beach toy and child friendly down to the baby gate provided. We look forward to returning with our family next year.

This property was perfect for our family. Its location was ideal and was literally a hop, skip and a jump from the beach!

Beautiful beach get away!

The home was lovely. We were happy with most everything! I would have given this a 5 star rating except for the bathroom situation. There were 2 bathrooms downstairs basically beside each other with only 1 bedroom, the master suite. So, that left the 3 bedrooms upstairs with 1 bathroom for 6 of us to share. And that bathroom door didn’t lock. It needs maintenance.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica Riggio

Host profile image
Hello! I'm Jessica, your Everyday Escapes Property Manager and go-to contact for the 'Shore Beats Work' property. If you have any questions regarding your visit at our home, I'm your gal!

Why they chose this property

'Shore Beats Work' is the perfect beach house in an amazing location! Whether you're looking to vacation for a week or looking for a better view while working remotely, this is the spot for you. The home itself has recently been fully remodeled and is breezy and comfortable. Not to mention, every room has incredible views of the Gulf or Bay.
Wondering about beach access? Check out the photos and look for the one with the star marking the public beach access. It's only 300 steps from the house. The short walk up to the beach is a piece of cake even with a pile of beach toys, little kids, and coolers. Even during the busy summer months, the beach doesn't feel crowded. On that note, let's talk about location. 'Shore Beats Work' is secluded enough from the hubbub of town to feel like an escape but also has easy access to amenities. So your trip really feels like a getaway.

Our family has been vacationing in Gulf Shores for years and my sister (owner Danielle Byrne) and brother-in-law (owner Dan Byrne) wanted a piece for our families to enjoy for years to come. We love Fort Morgan Beach and want to offer other families the opportunity to make lasting memories in a beautiful home and location.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property unique is that this isn't just a beach rental to us, this is our family getaway too! We have everything there we need to enjoy our vacation and we give access to all these amenities to our renters. We want you to feel like our home is your home!
