About this property

Morgan's Escape is the best location. Close to beach and pool!!!

'Morgans Escape' is a comfortable beach house located 200 yards from the beautiful private beach of Morgantown. You can sit on the swing or an adirondack chair on the front porch (38 feet long) and listen to the ocean waves while enjoying Gulf views.. The children can swim in the pool located right next to the house - or ride your bicycle along Fort Morgan Road, play tennis or just walk along the beach and collect shells. You can do as much or as little as you want in Fort Morgan.

Fort Morgan is a 20 mile peninsula bordered to the north by Mobile Bay and to the South by the Gulf of Mexico and Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. There are several world class golf courses located within a few miles of the house (Kiva, Peninsula and Plantation). The Ft. Morgan Marina & Tacky Jacks restaurant are just down the road where you can launch your boat or book a fishing charter. You can also take a ferry to Dauphin Island for a day trip (visit the estuarium or just ride bikes). Other area activities include shopping at Tanger Outlet Mall, visiting the waterpark in Gulf Shores, going on a Dolphin cruise, or playing miniature golf.

There are many excellent restaurants in the Fort Morgan/Gulf Shores area and a wide selection of Arts & Antiques stores in the city of Fairhope - about 45 minutes away.

'Morgans Escape' has a large kitchen and living area with plenty of room for the family to visit and have fun. Two bedrooms open to a back deck. There is a large dining table and a card table for games. There is a swing, picnic table and hammock under the carport. Dogs and children are welcome. These are pictures I've taken over the years.

Close to the beach and pool.

Very nice location and very nice place to stay. It is right next door to one of the two neighborhood pools (hint: go to the further away pool as there are very few people there). The house was clean and had everything that we needed. Communication was very good with the owner.

Relaxing Beach Stay in Lovely Home

The Morgantown house is perfect for a comfortable stay at the beach. The home was clean and well organized. It was just the two of us and our dog and when we were not on the beach; we were on the spacious front porch. We used the pool and tennis courts - both in pristine condition. Don't hesitate to rent this home - it is perfect for a relaxing and low key beach get away.

What a wonderful beach house!

We had an absolutely lovely time staying here. The house has everything we could need, was clean and very comfortable to stay in for the week. My favorite part was sitting on the front porch in the morning watching the sun rise while drinking my coffee and listening to the birds sing... all while hearing the ocean waves crashing into the beach... so relaxing! The location was perfect and we can’t wait to come back next year! Thank you for the wonderful memories!

Great Beach house

This beach house is very cute and so convenient to the beach and the size of the house was perfect for us. We loved everything about it. The only thing I can possible recommend is having a fan that you can plug in outside. The back porch gets a breeze but the front not so much. Will definitely rent this house again!

About the host

Why they chose this property

The Ft. Morgan area is a great, peaceful retreat from the hectic pace of life and work.
The location of this home is perfect for all. The boardwalk to the beach is just across the road and the swimming pool next door, make it the best location for families with young children. We found that the younger children got tired of the beach and heat after a few days and would rather go next door to the pool. In the early days, you could sit on the porch and watch the pool. Now, the scrub oaks have gotten taller and the view is not as open.
The subdivision has a security company that will come lock the pool up at closing time. If someone climbs the fence and is a bother, just call the security company and they will take care of it. We love this home and hope you will also.

What makes this property unique

The single most enjoyable thing we love about our beach house is the front porch. Family and friends gather there and visit for hours. Things we do not take time to do at home. We seldom watch TV at the beach but we do enjoy music. The large family area of this home makes it nice for others to come visit and gather for meals. Most homes this size have 4 bedrooms, which cuts down on the living area. With hardwood floors in all rooms, this home is easy to keep clean and it adds a unique open feeling for the beach experience.
