**UPDATE March 2020: We have incorporated additional sanitizing and disinfecting procedures after every stay at Serenity Sands Beach House. During this time of uncertainty, we have also adopted a more flexible cancellation policy to accommodate unforeseen situations due to COVID-19. Please message us for more details.

2 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, 1 enclosed outdoor hot/cold Shower, Sleeps 6+. Ready for your next vacation! Pet friendly, too!

The former Sylva Sands has new owners, a new name, and has been totally renovated! Wait until you see Serenity Sands Beach House now!

Located on the corner at 611 Morgantown Boulevard this peaceful and cozy beach cottage is literally just steps away from the Beach Access boardwalk and the soft, white sand. Perfect for couples, small families, or group getaways. The home has free high-speed WIFI, cable TVs, and land-based telephone for local or emergency calls if needed. Looking to work and play? There are several great spots in the house for working with ample electrical sockets and USB ports to connect your laptop and phone. Sit at the kitchen table or grab a stool at the breakfast bar for great views while you work! There is also an electrical plug on the screened porch if you want to enjoy the views outside. The Living Room has comfy seating, a wall-mounted Smart HDTV, a DVD player, and a stereo. Bring your own gaming system and games to plug into the TV. There is also a chest with board games, puzzles, and books for rainy days. The house has two bedrooms. The first-floor main bedroom includes a king-size bed, bedside lamps with USB ports and electrical plugs, a wall-mounted Smart HDTV, laundry area, bathroom with tub/shower, and walk-in closet. The second-floor bedroom includes a king-size bed with a twin-size daybed and trundle, wall-mounted Smart HDTV, and a full bathroom with tub/shower. Additional sleeping arrangements include a twin inflatable mattress and the downstairs sofa, if needed.

Serenity Sands provides great views with two decks. Enjoy fabulous sunrise and sunset views from the screened-in deck on the main level or from the covered upper deck. Both have comfy seating for guests.

The kitchen is fully stocked with all new utensils, dishes, glassware, pots/pans, countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar with USB ports and electrical plugs. There is also a Cuisinart coffeemaker and a Keurig coffee machine. New furniture is located throughout the house and on the decks. A full-sized washer and dryer are available, as well as a charcoal grill and picnic table. Beach/pool toys, chairs, beach cart as well as other games (like corn hole toss, badminton, and frisbee) will keep both the kids and adults entertained.

The quaint community of Morgantown in Fort Morgan is the perfect getaway for anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing, and peaceful vacation. There are two community swimming pools; one is steps away and the other is a short walk up the street. Tennis anyone? Two lighted courts are available, so bring your own rackets and tennis balls. Traveling with your dog? Leashed dogs are allowed on the beaches in Fort Morgan!

There are several restaurants nearby in Fort Morgan: Jesse's on the Bay, Sassy Bass Amazin Grill/Deli, Sassy Bass Chophouse, and Tacky Jack's. Kiva Dunes, The Peninsula, and The Beach Club also have restaurants open to the public. Need to pick up a few grocery items? Sassy Bass Marketplace and a Dollar General are nearby. You can also stock up on groceries for your trip on the drive in. Publix, Rouses, and Walmart are all conveniently located on Hwy 59.

Activities like golf, off-shore and on-shore fishing, kayaking, biking, and hiking are located nearby. Make sure you visit the historic Fort Morgan site or take the ferry to Dauphin Island for the day. Looking for more to do? It's just a short drive to Orange Beach, Gulf Shores State Park, Gulf Shores Zoo, Tanger Outlet Mall, The Wharf, and OWA (an amusement park and family entertainment destination in Foley), where you can shop, dine and play. Waterville (a family-friendly waterpark), The Track (an outdoor amusement park), putt-putt courses, The Gulf Bowl (bowling lanes), and Adventure Island (an amusement park in Orange Beach) are great options for things to do, too!

Spring Serenity

The house was exactly as described. The owners have thought of everything you need for your stay from the kitchen to the beach. They are very responsive to any inquiries from booking through your stay. The neighborhood is quiet and it's an easy walk down to the beach. We look forward to staying here again.

Terrific Home in Great Location

Owners have “equipped” Serenity Sands with everything you need to fully enjoy your stay at this terrific home. Communication was great with owners who unilaterally offered an early check in to accommodate our last minute reservation and texted us to check on our comfort. House is in a great location outside of the crowds of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. We highly recommend Serenity Sands!

Destination Christmas

Serenity Sands lives up to its name - a perfect, quiet Christmas week! The house has been beautifully updated and the kitchen was the most well-appointed we've ever stayed in. Our hosts were incredibly responsive for a couple of small things that came up during our stay. Access to the beach was out the front door and this is somewhere we would return to! Highly recommend!!!

Worcester/Grimm Alabama vacation 2024

Our hosts were very accommodating. We were fearful of the upcoming weather for our drive to Alabama and I contacted the hosts and they were very helpful and made sure we were able to get in ahead of the weather. Any questions that we had were answered promptly. The house was perfect and very welcoming with everything we needed and more. We would definitely stay here again

Wonderful time!

This home was the most relaxing place I have stayed at when visiting the beach. The screened in porch and the games the owner provided was nice to have on the days it was raining. The extra beach supplies that were there was a definite live saver (we forgot our chairs at home lol). The home was clean and had everything that we would need for our stay. We will definitely book again!

The location of the house from the beach was great. You didn’t have far to walk to the beach or the pool. You could hear the ocean from the house. The area was nice and quiet and good place to walk and pet friendly which we loved.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie and Doug Greengard

Host profile image
Debbie and Doug Greengard are Louisiana residents who love the beach and especially Fort Morgan.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this quaint beach cottage the moment we saw it. It is our home away from home. We also love the peacefulness and beauty of the Fort Morgan area.

What makes this property unique

Having coffee in the morning or hanging out at sunset on either of the two covered decks is priceless.
