This property was absolutely perfect for our group! It's completely furnished to cover your needs once you've hit the grocery store and is as comfortable as the photos.The communication with the property manager/owner throughout was wonderful. We felt like we were staying at a friend's house.The views are fabulous from the deck and the beach is just steps away. We'll definitely be back!

Best Beach Location Ever

Property worked great for our group of twelve, including three children. We have stayed at many homes and condos in this area, and we all agreed that this was the best beach location of all. So private and peaceful. The many amenities that were included with this property were wonderful, and we would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic!

This was a fantastic place to stay. The house comfortably accommodated our group of 12 adults, with room for more. Location is far enough from Gulf Shores making it a peaceful getaway, but still had plenty to do around the area. The house is well furnished, as described. The beach accessories, games, and equipment are a great feature. Owner was exceptionally responsive and helpful when a storm caused an internet outage.

Perfect beachhouse for our large family!

Our family of 16 stayed at Take Me Awave the first week of June. We had an amazing time! Plenty of space for all. We loved the "private" beach area - no crowds to worry about. The 2 back decks/porches were a plus. We sat outside from sun up to sun down. Great location. Plenty of bedding and towels provided. Loved the coffee bar!

Great family vacation!

Take me a Wave is a beautiful home with everything you need for a great vacation: good location with easy beach access, plenty of beach chairs, toys, and wagon. We had a full house but didn’t feel crowded. We made lots of family memories.

Four Generation Family Reunion

Sixteen adults, ages 21 to 81, and a baby enjoyed this great house for a week. Weather wasnt perfect so we made use of inside games, arcade, and game area underneath the house quite a bit. We also made use of both kitchens extensively since we prepared and ate most of our meals together. We enjoyed a nearly private beach to spread out and fish. It was a great property, host, and experience for our group.

Great Young Adult Trip!

Nice Beach House on a very private beach! We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere this house provides. We appreciated the 2 well equipped kitchens. Our group (20-25 yr old) really enjoyed the beach chairs and games provided. We had 18 adults and the home provided space for everyone. We loved playing all the board games in the living room provided. Owners were quick to communicate if we had questions. Thanks for a great week!

High School 40th Class Reunion

We had an amazing vacation spending time with our friends and their spouses. Take Me A Wave was a perfect place for them to visit, eat, play games, and spend time on the beach enjoying each others company. The location was on a beautiful nice quite beach that had the best fishing, lol. The host was in touch with us making sure our stay was a successful trip :)

Awesome Trip, Awesome House

We had an amazing time at Take Me Awave! Our entire family of 15, (8 kids ages 14-20, and 7 adults, my siblings spouses and our mom) had an amazing time. The beach ware, chairs, paddle board, kayak, etc were amazing, we also left a couple fishing poles for future vacationers! The best part for us was the short stroll to the waterfront where we set up everyday for the week. Great spot well equipped for all, and we will be back! Thank you!

Beautiful, modern, well equipped

100% going to stay here again. The host is informative and easy to contact. The property is well kept and clean. It is beautifully decorated. Every room has a sound machine and extra blankets. We had 9 adults. Everyone found the mattresses very comfortable. 2 separate fully equipped kitchens was a game changer for people who love to cook a lot. The extra fridge space meant we could store drinks inside one fridge and food in the other. We had a minor issue with the Roku televisions when we first checked in. I messaged the owner and had a reply/resolution in minutes.

Perfect family trip

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We were three families and a grandparent (7 adults and 9 kids). The house was super clean and well equipped. We stay in Gulf Shores or Fort Morgan almost every year. This house has many things that we have been missing at other properties including AC that kept the house very cool and comfortable, plenty of hot water, plenty of bath towels, large well maintained covered porch, and perfect location right on the dunes so that the walk to the beach is easy with lots of gear and kids. It is also far enough into Fort Morgan that our tents and chairs could stay out overnight (in gulf shores they have to come in every night ). Overall a great beach house with attentive property manager that checked in with us and promptly answered any questions!

Amazing House for Big Family

This house had plenty of room for kids and extended family! We enjoyed playing all the games on the lower level. The storage room was stocked with everything you might need for the beach…extra chairs, crabbing nets, sand buckets, etc. We took the paddle board and kayak out one day when the water was calm; teens and adults had great time paddling and exploring down the beach. Water was crystal clear when we were there in June. Having two kitchens was great; used the extra refrigerator for drinks and the extra oven when cooking for a large group. Location was perfect. It’s super close to Sassy Bass when you need to pick up groceries or ice. We will book this house again for next summer!

Great stay!

Staying at the beach house in Fort Morgan was nothing short of perfection. From the moment we arrived, the serenity of the location captivated us. The house, perched gracefully beside the pristine shores, offered breathtaking views that added a touch of magic to our mornings and evenings. Our host was incredibly welcoming, ensuring that our stay was comfortable and memorable. Their recommendations and insights about the area were invaluable, adding to the authenticity of our experience. The local restaurants were a nice surprise. While Fort Morgan might not be a bustling metropolis, the culinary scene was more than decent. Fresh seafood, local specialties, and friendly service made each meal a treat. At night, our kids loved finding ghost crabs and watching them speed across the sandy beach. If you're looking for a beach getaway that combines natural beauty, hospitality, and delightful dining, this Fort Morgan beach house ticks all the boxes. Highly recommended!
