You can also stay in the other side, or both sides together for 14 bedrooms and double of everything else! Connecting door on in the living room areas for guests renting both sides.

Less $ and less people! Also, less rules! You CAN leave your stuff out overnight / longer and not worry about the Leave Only Footprints beach patrols in GSOB which WILL take your stuff never to be seen again (of course, leaving anything is subject to some risk, but its guaranteed to be gone in GS or OB!).

7BR 5.5BA. Beachfront duplex. Extra fridges. Pool! Accommodates 24, 48 in both sides!

Fort Sun East side sleeps 24 people in 7 Bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms (5 of which are FULL baths!). The unit is well accommodated, and high accommodating:

The homes share a deck that takes you down to the expansive white sand beach. Plenty of room for beach volleyball or whatever moves your group!

A secure, interconnecting doorway allows large groups to use both sides of this lovely home to host up to 48 people!

Located on Fort Morgan, Fort Sun is close to many restaurants, golf courses, and other things to do, feels away from it all (but is only a short drive to all the hubbub on Gulf Shores itself), and is often a more cost-efficient choice for those who seek something a little more laid back. Plus, as an added bonus, our Fort Morgan vacation homes are not currently subject to the same restrictions on setting up umbrellas and other amenities overnight as those in Gulf Shores itself.

No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

Christmas Vac

It was fun, family enjoyed themselves. Great location beach wise. Only downfall, how bedrooms were laid out and not much living space/ (size of living room) for a large family. All in all great place.

Very enjoyable vacation at Fort Sun

Our stay in your beach house was overall very enjoyable. We loved the easy beach access and enjoyed the pool. We also loved that we didn't have to worry about putting the trash cans on the road, and that we didn't have to do much cleaning up to leave. We were a little dismayed that access to two of the bedrooms was only through other bedrooms. We worked it out, but I can imagine that for some families this could be a problem. Again, overall a very enjoyable vacation. Thanks!

Wonderful beach, place, and stay

Thank you so much for a wonderful week! This beach is beautiful!I meant to email you earlier in the week but it slipped my mind. We wanted to let you know the garbage disposal did not work which caused the sink to back up. We plunged it and it went down but wanted to let you know. One of the bed supports in the bunk room was broke too. The kids didn't tell us until we were getting ready to leave. Again, thank you for a wonderful stay!!!

Large Group 👍

The place had plenty of rooms for the five families that stayed with children ranging from 2-18. The master bedroom on the third floor only had a jet tub which wasn’t convenient for the family who stayed in that room. The other bathrooms all had shower/tub combos. The beach area was clean and was easily assessed from the home being just steps away. The pool is on the small side but worked great for the kiddos or to jump into to cool off from being at the beach. It was great having two refrigerators but the door shelves did fall out easily. There was plenty of seating for everyone at dinner time with the bar and two tables. The outside patio furniture was in great shape and was good quality. Overall, we had a great stay with no problems to reports to the property manager.

Great Beachfront House

The house was exactly what we expected based on the listing! Super nice to be right on the beach and the Fort Morgan area has a very nice and relaxed feel to it. The kids loved the pool but it was a little small for all 19 of us (we knew it would be small based on pictures though). The local company was quick to respond to texts about needed items in the kitchen and brought them the next morning. Check in was super easy. Lots of emails and communication that was helpful. Fort Morgan is kind of in the boonies (30 minute drive to Gulf Shores from Fort Sun) but makes the beach less crowded. We enjoyed our stay!

2024 Vacation

Our large group found your home very accommodating & made our week enjoyable. We enjoyed being a few steps from the beach and activities were not far away. We were fortunate for such beautiful weather. We would truly love to revisit for another vacation.

Amazing vacation!!

This duplex is made for our extended family. There is a door that connects the two units, Fort Sun East and West. That allowed us privacy with easy accessibility to our cousins. We loved all the bathrooms and bedrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, and two refrigerators was very nice. Property manager was easy to contact. We have already booked for next year!!

Fort Sun was perfect for us. The beach was completely private, and we loved having our own pool on our side so we were not sharing. Highly recommend!!!

Another great stay!

Fort Sun was as described and was a great fit for our extended family. Plenty of room. Views were awesome and the beach is a short walk right off the back of the house. The owners are kind and easy to communicate with--we have stayed in several of their places! Highly recommend!

Thanksgiving Fort Sun FUN!!

Thanksgiving with our adult kids and grands--the whole gang! So nice being right on the beach. Fort Sun was perfect for us. Lots of stairs, but that's to be expected in a beach house. The beach was so BIG and wide open. We liked being able to set up tents (and leave them up). Overall, a great stay!

Absolutely loved the house and the location

We absolutely loved the house and the location. We were three families coming together for our annual vacation, with ages from 2 to 60, and it accommodated us all very well. We arrived a little early and knew we would have to hang out downstairs while they finished cleaning. The cleaning staff were very nice and did a great job. It was a great place to stay and we will definitely keep it on our list.

About the host

Host profile image
Instructional designer. Behavior change researcher. Father of 3. Teacher. Soccer coach. Hoosier. I'm interested in why people do the things they do, what we can do to change those things so that folks live happier and healthier lives, and how technology can help. Plus, well, I love Gulf Shores!

Why they chose this property

My wife's family have traveled to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Alabama for decades. I became a tag along in the late 1990s, so a Gulf Shores guy by marriage. One thing led to another and we ended up a several large, family-friendly, large group friendly, places along the Gulf.

Why this one? BIG beach. White sands. Pristine. Lots of space to spread out. Great layout. Private pool (per side). And a great value since taxes much lower here!

What makes this property unique

If you want a lot of beach space, and the beach to be awesome white sands, this is the place. Fort Sun has enough room for a couple volleyball sets if you so desire, and you can leave them up out here because it is not subject to the GSOB rules that require you to bring everything back in each day. Tents anyone?! Come have fun in the sun!
