Everything you need!

We have had an amazing three weeks at Fort Fun East. The house lacks for nothing for cooking and most of all, relaxing on the deck watching the Gulf.The house is decorated in calming blue tones and has plenty of room for ancouple or a big friend or family gathering.Communication with the owners was also always smooth and prompt.Lets put it this way, this was our first visit to the Gulf Shores area and we fell in love and bought a house. :)You will love your stay, do not hesitate!

Family Beach Trip 2024

Great place in a great area. No crowds, no congestion, no hassle and great hosts. We had 11 adults (family) stay for 5 nights and it was a perfect spot to unwind and spend time together. The property was had lots of beach chairs, umbrellas, great kitchen and grill area. We will be back.

Great House

The property was right on the beach. We are semi-local so we understood that there wasn’t a ton of restaurants and shopping so we tried to bring everything we needed. There is a new Dollar General right down the street that was convenient. I loved that we didn’t have to bring beach chairs, they were already there. The living area is a tad small when you have teenagers lounging around, but we also were there when it was a bit cooler temps and couldn’t enjoy outside as much. Of all things that the house didn’t have…oven mitts. Our daughter was coming the next day so she brought some with her. Otherwise, the kitchen was fully stocked and the house had everything we needed to relax and enjoy!

Fall Break

Very good location. Beach area is wonderful. There was 12 of us but with 5 adult in the living room it was a little tight. There is only 1 towel per person so with us staying 5 days I had to do laundry everyday. And there is only 2 dish cloths and 1 dish towel and no pot holders. We enjoy cooking and eating In so after a meal was cooked the dish towel had to be washed also. Just needs to be more towels for a 4 bedroom and 3 bath house. The grand kids loved the pool I just felt like I did laundry all week.

Perfect for families!

This home was perfect for families! We brought our extended family and there was plenty of space for everyone! Beds are all very comfortable. A few steps to the private beach access - no crowds. Pool was refreshing after a hot day at the beach! Mark and Ashley was so easy to work with - very accommodating and responsive. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!!

Great House, Fantastic Location!!

The house is right on the beach as described in the listing. It was clean had almost everything that you would expect of a beach house and is perfect for a quite family beach getaway. We loved it and everything was just great. The only word of caution for potential travelers (and this is not on the host and out of their control), Doordash/Uber eats does service the area and there are very few restaurants in this part of the island. So please make sure you are stocked with food etc, or else you will end up spending about 30/45 mins (min) to get to/fro from a decent restaurant. :) Thanks Ashley and Mark.

Breathtaking View!

Beautiful house and gorgeous view! The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need, including beach chairs and umbrellas. The owners were wonderful and very quick in responding to our questions. You could not possibly want anything else in a beach house. Being able to bring our dog and take him out to the beach with us was the cherry on top!! We will definitely be back!

Great duplex

The views are wonderful. The house is just right to spread out but not too large to get lost. Our host was very responsive. She gave us our info a head of time so we could make plans early for our autistic sons. We had our dogs with us so swept every day. There was a pair of socks and dried up food scraps under the couch. IT IS A DUPLEX which was not in the description. You will have a neighbor on the other side of the wall.
