Check it out!! Check availability and select your dates to receive a quote! Currently offering a 10% discount on weekly stays!

The beach at Sandy Bottoms is shared by only 4 houses and is rarely crowded, so you should have no problem staking out your own personal space on the beach with plenty of room!

You won't be disappointed in Sandy Bottoms! Please read our reviews - all 5 star, and lots of repeat guests! If you have any questions, send an inquiry to the owner.

There is a minimum stay of 4 nights in Spring, Fall, and Winter, and 7 nights in Summer. Summer season is weekly only, from Saturday to Saturday. (Please note that the maximum number of guests is 6, including all adults and children. Also, no pets are allowed. The minimum age to rent is 25 years.)

Sandy Bottoms is a warm, comfortable, cozy beach front home with character plus! View of dunes, sugar white sand, sunrise, sunset, and the blue-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico! You will feel right at home the minute you walk in the door!

Sandy Bottoms is located on the Fort Morgan Peninsula, about 15.5 miles from the intersection of Fort Morgan Road (Highway 180 West) and Highway 59 in Gulf Shores. You can arrive at your peaceful home away from home in minutes!

If it is peaceful relaxation and uncrowded spaces you desire, the Fort Morgan Peninsula is the place to be! Fort Morgan is surrounded by water, with Mobile Bay on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other - the most beautiful natural beaches in the area. Steeped in history, it is a place where nature abounds. The coastal dunes between the house and the Gulf are habitat for the endangered Alabama beach mouse and nesting sea turtles! You won't see high rise, high density condo buildings in our area! You will feel like you have come to a place that is lost in time, and it attracts like a magnet! Once you have visited, you will want to come back again and again!

Sandy Bottoms is light and bright with an open floor plan in the main living area, which includes the living room, dining area and kitchen. It is a great space for family and friends to gather! The main living area has a view of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and access to the spacious deck.

The living room has plenty of seating with a large sectional sofa with chaise, as well as an additional comfy chair with ottoman and a desk and chair with charging station. Enjoy watching TV and take advantage of the DirecTV full lineup and smart TV. Bring your device and cast to enjoy your favorite entertainment accounts.

For your dining pleasure there is a large table with six chairs, plus two bar stools. The kitchen always gets rave reviews from our guests! It has everything you need to prepare and serve a meal. There are plenty of excellent restaurants in the area, but if you prefer to stay in and cook your own meals, you won't find anything lacking in the kitchen at Sandy Bottoms. Just read the reviews!

The primary bedroom suite is separated from the other two bedrooms. It has a private bathroom, comfortable queen bed, large dresser, two nightstands, comfy chair with table lamp, walk-in closet, and TV with DirecTV full lineup. The lamps have a USB port for charging your devices. The primary bedroom also has a view of the Gulf of Mexico and access to the deck.

The additional two bedrooms have two twin beds in one room and a queen bed in the other. Both the twin and the queen bedrooms have closets and chests for plenty of storage. The queen bedroom also has a desk and chair with charging station. Both bedrooms have multiple USB ports for charging devices. The second full bath is located on the wing with bedrooms two and three.

Step out of the living area or primary bedroom onto a large deck with a beautiful view of sugar white sand dunes and the gorgeous blue-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico! The deck also provides an additional sitting area and dining area, with a table and six chairs, two loungers and a glider. This is a great spot to view the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, watch the dolphins frolic, or catch some rays. You might even be lucky enough to see a show from the Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron as they practice!

Want to get out of the sun for a bit? Enjoy the additional covered living and dining area underneath the house in the carport area! You will love the outdoor enclosed shower which has hot and cold water, vanity with sink, lighting and electrical outlet. You must experience a hot shower where you can feel the ocean breeze and hear the crashing waves! There is also a sandy sitting area on the beach side of the house with Adirondack chairs. A great place to watch the kids play in the sand!

Step from the Gulf view deck to a boardwalk that leads to a covered gazebo with built-in seating. From the gazebo walk about 75 feet on the sandy beach access lot to the dunes, and over the dunes to the beach! The beach is normally shared by only 4 houses (however it is a public beach).

The beach at Sandy Bottoms is uncrowded and unspoiled and one of the widest sections of beach on the Fort Morgan peninsula. The dunes are beautiful and majestic! The beach is not groomed, which means you can happily hunt for driftwood, seashells, and other treasures. You might spot dolphins swimming and frolicking in the surf, pelicans flying in formation, or blue herons or seagulls right on the beach. Relax, unwind, soak up the sun, frolic in the waves, surf fish, and watch nature. Enjoy gorgeous sunrises and sunsets during the day and star gaze at night to the dark sky!

For added safety and security for our guests, Sandy Bottoms has security cameras monitoring the entry and exit points. The cameras only show the entry, the driveway in front and the dunes in back. The cameras do not show any other exterior area where you may congregate while at the house. There are no cameras or recording devices inside the house. Your privacy and enjoyment are important to us!

***Please note that an electronically signed rental agreement is required to confirm a reservation. The rental agreement will be sent via DocuSign by the owner / manager. Reservation is not confirmed until the rental agreement is signed.***

Spring Break Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at Sandy Bottoms during spring break. The house is well appointed, and we loved its location. We felt like we had our own private beach just steps away from the house. Vickie is a very kind, helpful, and responsive host!

Loved our Stay at Sandy Bottoms!

Sandy Bottoms is a comfortable, beautiful home. It had everything we needed for our 7 day stay at Fort Morgan. My husband and I went with our 10 year daughter and my parents and the home was perfect for all of us, we even made friends with the two families that stayed in the house next to us! The home was extremely clean and Vickey was wonderful to work with! I would highly recommend Sandy Bottoms for your stay!

Great week away

This house has everything you need. Really once arriving you don’t need to leave for anything unless you want to go out. I had groceries delivered. It was easy to find. Was well stocked with plenty of items in the kitchen. Walk to the ocean was a bit of exercise but well worth it.

The best experience possible for Gulf Shores!

Sandy Bottoms provides the best experience possible for a family vacation to Fort Morgan/Gulf Shores. The privacy of the home's location, the uncrowded (often empty) private beach, and the home itself is perfection. If you are fortunate enough to find days this home is available to rent, please do, you will not regret it and once you stay at Sandy Bottoms you will not be able to stay anywhere else again in the Gulf Shore area. You also will not find a better owner who cares about her guest and guest experience like Ms. Vickie! 5 star experience all around!

Sandy Bottoms

Enjoyed the property and location next to the beach. House was clean, comfy, and plenty of room for a family of five. Beach was not crowded at all and private. Would recommend this place if you are looking for privacy, peace, and quiet. If you stay here you are within ten minutes of the pier and the fort. Highly recommended to go and check out.

Great Beach House

We had a great time at Sandy Bottoms! There were 4 adults; so we had more than enough room. The house is very comfortable, well kept and very clean! The kitchen is well stocked and organized. Light switches are labeled throughout the house so there is no guesswork required. The WiFi worked great. There is a wonderful view of the beach from the house, and it's just a short walk over the dunes to get to what feels like your own private beach. There is a nice sitting area outside with a swing, dining table and games, but it was incredibly hot the week we were there, so we didn't spend a lot of time outside other than at the beach. Thank you Vickie for being such a great host!

Perfect beach house!

We loved our stay at Sandy Bottoms!! There was plenty of room for all 6 of us. The house is roomy, comfortable, and quiet. The kitchen has everything you need! We ate most meals on the deck. We loved the deck furniture and listening to the waves. The master is very roomy with a large walk in closet. The WiFi worked great! My brother-in-law was able to work online no problem. The lighting inside and outside was wonderful! There were even lights on the stairs. We loved seeing dolphins, the very quiet beach, and we saw the Blue Angels!! We enjoyed eating at Sassy Bass- just down the road. The beach is so nice and peaceful. It was not crowded at all. The beach is very close. Just walk over two dunes and there it is! I will say- it’s a good work out. Lol! But well worth it. (I’m a little out of shape) Vickie is wonderful and kept in touch throughout the process. We are already planning our next trip! Sandy Bottoms is perfect! You will love it!

2nd Time at Sandy Bottoms

We enjoyed Sandy Bottoms for the 2nd time! My family loves that the beach area is not crowded. It’s like having your own beach! The house is very nice and well kept. The bed in the Master Bedroom was very comfortable. The grandkids loved the corn hole and ring toss. The area beneath the house is very nice for these games or for reading. The enclosed shower as you come off the beach is great with hot and cold water. We’ve enjoyed Sassy Bass and Tacky Jacks which are restaurants nearby. All the Gulf Shores shops and Walmart are only 20+ minutes away. We may return next year!😊

Family Birthday Fun

In honor of my 40th and my father’s 70th, we enjoyed a relaxing week in Fort Morgan. The sunset views were breathtaking every night. The house is wonderful—very clean, well-appointed, and spacious. Communication before the trip had me completely prepared. The beach is just steps from the house. Under the house is a perfect hangout spot during the warm afternoons. There is ample seating in the shade. I highly recommend this property if you like being on a quiet, peaceful beach.

Perfect exclusive location

This was our first trip to Gulf Shores, we are so thankful that we found Sandy bottoms to stay at. The location is perfect with basically a private beach that is not crowded whatsoever, a great view for a sunset, and only 15 minutes away from the main city.!! This property had all the amenities we needed to enjoy our week without thinking, we forgot anything, and it was very very clean! Thank you Vicki for hosting such a great place!

Absolutely Amazing!

Let’s begin with Miss Vickie, she is a great hostess! She was wonderful about communicating her expectations, desires, and local info as well as helping with any questions I had. She was easy to reach and always responded in a timely manner! She was kind and so great to work with! Now, the house….it’s stellar! It’s spacious, beautifully decorated, clean, close to the beach, and the perfect spot for a beach vacation! It’s not on the main beaches or touristy spots, quieter and less busy, which we loved. So know, if you want to be in the heart of gulf shores, you’ll just need to drive about 15-20 minutes….but I promise, it’s worth it!!! It doesn’t get much better than this: a wonderful person to work with, in Vickie, and a stunning location on the beach!!!!! I would take my family back to Sandy Bottoms in a heart beat (and I don’t usually say that about places we’ve rented)! It was truly a blessing to get to spend our time in this house on the beach!!!

About the host

Hosted by Vickie Boozer, Owner and Manager

Host profile image
Sandy Bottoms is very special to us! Our little getaway, home away from home! It is not just a rental property to us, but a home! We enjoy sharing it with our guests, and want them to think of it as their own home away from home. We visit for several weeks at a time, several times a year. We love everything the area has to offer!

Why they chose this property

We are beach people! We have visited many wonderful beaches in our 40+ years of knowing each other. But none of them attracted us or felt more like the best home for us than Fort Morgan. We are casual and relaxed, and are more attracted to a laid back feel. That is why we chose Fort Morgan. We love the fact that you can see the beach from the road, and there are no high rise, high density condo buildings near Sandy Bottoms Beach House. Our area contains mostly modest, privately owned beach homes without the glitz and glamour of other beach resort areas. We enjoy the quiet and peaceful relaxation we feel when we are at the house. We absolutely love hearing the surf from the Gulf and the views are amazing! You can even see dolphins and sea birds right from our beach-front deck! We couldn't be happier owning a little slice of paradise!

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the location! So unique! It is so peaceful, quiet and uncrowded! We never thought we could be so close to the beach. The beach and Gulf of Mexico are just steps away! Although the beach is public, our beachfront is only shared by 4 houses. You will not have any problem staking out an uncrowded space of your own. The view from the deck, living room and master bedroom is gorgeous - sand, dunes and blue-green water! So relaxing and peaceful! We love sitting on the deck with a view of the water, just watching for sea gulls and dolphins, or maybe even the Blue Angels practicing right off the beach!

We strive to provide extra amenities not usually found in rental homes. Many of our guests have said our beach house is even better equipped than their own homes! We are attentive owners, and make frequent visits to our home to make sure it is well maintained, clean, updated and fresh.
