When you come back from the beach be sure to rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower with both hot & cold water. Morning sunrises to late night talks can be spent on the covered front porch which offers plenty of seating and three rocking chairs.

April 2025

This is the second time we stayed at the property and this time I would rate as just ok. The weather was not the best and we ended up spending a lot more time in the house than before. Our opinion is the condition of the property has declined and it was not as well kept up as before. There was mold on the ceiling in the master bath shower toilet room, and mildew around the deck area and rear entry door. The rear sliding door was very difficult to open and close, specially for our younger children. We had issues with the pool heater not working multiple times and it seemed to coincide when we were looking to use it. Sounds like it was an internet service issue. It was just unfortunate when you pay an extra 50/day. We did appreciate the host paying attention to that. We are several meals in the house and also ran into issues with the refrigerator freezing food even though it was set on a low temp. The master bed was uncomfortable and very noisy, we definitely did not sleep well tossing and turning then waking each other up with the squeaking when we moved, one of the beds upstairs was similar. We love the location, but left feeling disappointed this trip.and probably looking to vacation somewhere different next time.

Shorething was a perfect Spring Break Getaway!

Mick was friendly from the moment I booked and continued to respond quickly when I had any questions. The house was perfect for our family & grandparents. The kids loved the heated pool and the very short walk to the beach. The outdoor shower with hot water is what every beach house is missing! I kept the kids shampoo out there and would go ahead and bathe all three when leaving the beach. Fort Morgan is so peaceful-none of the spring break crowd.

great stay

Thank you Mick and Kim for an awesome stay. Everything from start to finish was easy. your house is very comfortable, homey, clean and we could not have found a better location. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch having morning coffee, watching the sun come up, and meeting all the great neighbors walking by with a friendly good morning. The pool was amazing. Very clean, and warm. We would highly recommend staying here. Thank you again for a great vacation.

Very nice property. Great location, well maintained, furnished and cleaned. Nice gift bag provided water, hugger and sunscreen. As a practical matter, we would have preferred a box of tissues and a 2nd roll of toilet paper. The only real negative was a listing failure. Given the time of year, I selected this property specifically for the heated pool. After arrival, I learned there was an additional $50 per day fee to actually turn the heater on.

Great place to stay

This rental was perfect for our family! The view from the covered front porch is amazing!! Mick is so friendly and was quick to answer any questions. We went to the beach in the morning and early afternoon and then spent the rest of the afternoon and evening in the private pool. I highly recommend this rental and we plan to stay there again.

Perfect Spot!

Shore Thing was the perfect spot for our family vacation this year. We fell in love with Gulf Shores/Fort Morgan many years ago and can’t imagine going anywhere else. The private pool is a must have for our 3 boys, and the beach access is quick and easy. The house was everything we had hoped for, and communication with Mick was fantastic. We have stayed in many condos and beach houses over the years, and this one is a favorite. Thank you, Mick!

One of the best

This vacation home is everything you would want and more. The owner is prompt and the view is fantastic. The beach is only steps away and one of our favorite spots besides the private pool was the porch swing catching the gulf breeze every night. All I can say is it is perfect!

Clean and comfortable

Great view and proximity to the beach. My family enjoyed the rockers and swing on the front porch in the mornings, and the lounge chairs and pool on the back deck in the afternoons. I wanted to sleep with the windows open to enjoy the lulling sound of the waves at night, but I was over-ruled. My folks prefer the hum of ceiling fans. The place was impeccably clean. The furnishings were comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet. We hope to return for an extended stay.

About the host

Hosted by Mick and Kim Fieldbinder

Host profile image
My wife Kim and I have been married for 17 years and like most men….I’ve truly outkicked my coverage in landing her! She’s in the business world and I have been a coach my entire adult life (hence the “outkicked my coverage” remark). We have been vacationing on the Gulf Coast for over 17 years at different spots up and down the “Redneck Riviera”. There’s truly no place like Fort Morgan….so we decided to set up shop here.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location!!! If you like the laid back version of beach life then the Fort Morgan area is right up your alley. A solid 15-20 minute ride back into Gulf Shores is far enough to get you away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to still make a day of it without having to drive forever. And if you like being able to spread out away from other folks on the beach, then welcome home. Even in the busy times there’s still plenty of room for everybody to spread out. Not a whole lot of places on the coast that can claim that.

What makes this property unique

Our place is a stones throw from the beach. You can walk from our driveway to the beach access in less than a minutes time (NOT hustling either!). As a result of this proximity, the views are absolutely amazing! And oh by the way, not just from the front porch. The back deck is offset from the house so you can still get a knockout view of the ocean from there as well. And speaking of the back deck, it just happens to have a killer pool sitting right in the middle of it! Few things better in life than spending the day at the beach and watching the sunset from the pool. Come see for yourself!
