Great family getaway

We really enjoyed our stay! This property was perfect for us - kids, parents and grandparents. Everyone had their own rooms and bathrooms. The living and dining space was roomy and comfortable. Our fave things - short walk to the beach - assorted pantry items - great collection of kitchen utensils and gadgets - plenty of bath linens so no need to wash often - collection of beach chairs We would definitely stay again!

Great location just a short walk to the beach!

The neighborhood was perfect a if you’re looking for a family friendly place. We were a group of 4 adults and 4 kids ages 7-16. The owner Deb was very quick to respond to any questions we had. If we go back to Fort Morgan this place will rate high on our list to rebook.

Alabama Getaway

This property was one of the most well stocked properties we have ever stayed at. Being able to leave your beach items under the house and having an outdoor shower was amazing. Pool is directly across from the house and the beach is a 2 minute walk away, but you can see the gulf from the back deck.

Great Family Beach House

If you’re looking for a beach house that is very close to the beach and directly across the street from the pool. It is in a quiet neighborhood and has access to a private beach that is not overcrowded. This property’s location was perfect for my family of 4 ( 2 small children). The other reviews mentioned the stairs were a challenge and when you are unpacking/ packing up it does make it more difficult but it’s not too bad. There is a very spacious carport under the house with a shower/storage area. They had plenty of chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys, but everything was pretty rusty. There was also a lot of plungers on the lattice in the back that was a little weird… I think it would be nice if there was a walkway on the backside of the carport area because that is the most convenient route to the beach. As to the area, Fort Morgan is really nice and quiet but it is about 30-40 minutes to Gulf Shores. So, we definitely had to plan for that when deciding where to eat dinner every night. There are some options close by but it is limited. Also, a note to the property owner - there is one house key on the lanyards that barely works on the front door locks for the house. There were multiple occasions we had to open the lock box to use that key because one of the keys on the lanyards barely works. Overall, this property is 4 stars for me because I think there could be some small improvements made inside and outside of the house to bring it up to a 5 star house.

Such a restful vacation! Grandchildren loved the pool which was across the street from our house.

Loved that the area is family oriented. Easy access to the property and to local attractions. Quiet. Praceful. Steps were a bit of an issue for spouse who has Parkinsons, but he was able to navigate the steps with assistance. Grandchildren loved the pool across the street from the house. Location easy to get to, and easy to get to local attractions. I can't say enough how accessible the owner was, and was so very quick to respond to any questions. I felt a real connection to her, and her helpfulness. Will definitely come back next year.

Great Vacation

My wife, adult daughter, two grandchildren, young son, and I spent a great week at this lovely house. Half a block from the beach, across from the pool, who could ask for better? Fort Morgan is one of the best kept secrets around, great beaches, not much traffic, and Sassy Bass. The owner was a pleasure to deal with. Hoping to go back to this house next year.

Perfect for Famlies

This home was perfect for us. Grandparents, Kids and Grandchildren. The location was perfect. The beach was about 100 yards away, the pool was just across the street. The home was clean and there was everything we needed, even a beach umbrella (I considered buying one before our arrival). My wife liked the deck off the bedroom. We will stay again.

Wonderful getaway!

Deb was amazing to communicate with. She answered all my questions in a timely manner and was flexible with adjusting our dates due to things outside of our control. The property is wonderful, in a great location within short walking distance to the beach and worked perfectly for our family including 5 kids. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a great vacation in Fort Morgan/Gulf Shores area!

Relaxing family vacation

This was our second time to stay at Alabama Getaway and we once again enjoyed every minute of it ! The house has ocean views from the porches and it’s just a short walk to get to the beach plus the pool is just steps away! The kids enjoyed the basketball court and foosball table in the pool area and we all enjoyed the rest, relaxation, and fun we had staying here!!

Great Vacation Home

The Alabama Getaway is a great vacation home. Featuring three beds and three bathrooms, there is room to get some distance if needed. The house is located quite a way from town, and this worked perfectly for us as the beach was a primary purpose of the trip. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to make meals to fit you budget. Overall this house is a gem.

Great Getaway

This house is perfect for a beach getaway! The house is clean and perfect for families, common areas are comfy and the kitchen has everything you need. The beach is an easy walk, even with kids and a wagon it only took a minute. It was nice that the house has some extra sand toys in case you forgot! The club house was clean and has plenty of lounge chairs surrounding the pools. It is further from the big city, so be sure to get your main groceries on the way in! We would definitely stay here again.

Will Definitely Stay Here Again

We will definitely stay here again. As a helicopter mom I am very picky about where we stay when we go on trips. This house is located in a wonderful community. The circle that the house itself is on is very kid friendly with speed bumps and several signs posted “kids at play.” The pool is located right across the street so you could literally sit on the porch and watch everyone swim. Great place!!

About the host

Hosted by Deb Erickson

We purchased our home in 2009 because we fell in love with the area. We visit about 4 times a year and always have a great time. My husband and I live in Colorado and our partners (who are family) live in Georgia.

Why they chose this property

In 2008 we visited Heritage Shores staying at our nephews house. We saw this house in the neighborhood for sale, just two doors down and thought why not. Our kids were getting easier to travel with and we love the beach. The number of bedrooms fit our family so we took the plunge. We now have the best of both worlds, living in the mountains and escaping to the beach.
