Favorite Place to Stay
We’ve been coming to Ft Morgan for years. This was our favorite house by far! Everything was perfect from the quality of cookware to the quality of the mattress. We will definitely be staying here each time we come down.

Simply Amazing
Everything about this property was great! The online listing is 100% spot on. Mrs. Gail has done an excellent job at stocking this house with everything you could possibly need. With 3 small kids it was amazing to be so close to the beach! We had a great trip.

Just Perfect
House was perfect for us (me, my husband, our 15-year old daughter and her two best friends.) Communication with the owner was seamless and helpful, and home was just lovely. (Cannot beat the incredible view!) We got home last night and are already planning our next trip!

The house was clean and well stocked with everything you would need. The views from the back deck were amazing and the house is only steps away from the beach which made for a perfect beach vacation for our family!

Amazing getaway
The property was very clean upon arrival. The rooms are spacious. The appliances were in perfect working condition, and we didn't need to bring much. Beach chairs and toys were provided. There is an amazing hangout area under the house, comlete with lights, a swing, and 4 chairs, along with a picnic table. I believe that my favorite feature is the deck. It has a table for dining, and a bar height railing with swivel chairs situated perfectly in view of the water and beach. My family of 6 fit comfortably, and enjoyed every minute of our stay here!

Beach access is amazing!
We loved our stay at surfs up and hope to stay again in the future! It was perfect for our family of four! We loved the beach access, having a washer and dryer, all the beach accessories and our kids loved the bunk beds! We enjoyed having a fully stocked kitchen and appreciated the amazing wall of windows overlooking the ocean! Host was very responsive and helpful! Check in was very easy!

Best stay ever!
We have been coming to Fort Morgan area for over 15 years. First time to rent a house. If you are looking for direct, beachfront access with unobstructed views, this home is it! Beautiful accommodations with all the amenities you could possibly need! Owners are so accessible and easily reached for anything. This will be our go-to spot from now on, and can’t wait to return!

Great Vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Surf's Up! The house is very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with quality silverware, dishes, pots and pans and appliances (the best we've ever had in a vacation rental.) Communication with the owner throughout the process was always timely. Thank you, again, for your hospitality and sharing your beach home with us!! We will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Views, Comfy Cottage
We absolutely loved the location! Having our own private beach access was priceless. The location is closer to Fort Morgan (the historical site) than many in the Gulf Shores area, which made it way less crowded than closer into Gulf Shores. It was nice to stay at a place that was not overcrowded, and you still felt like the beach was all yours. The amenities at the place were great. The owners are committed to maintaining a well laid out, well thought out property!

Private paradise!
Great location that affords a little more privacy being closer to the West side of Fort Morgan. The house was beautiful and we had good communication with the owner. We tried to take the ferry from Dauphin Island but issues caused backups and forced us to drive around the bay. Certainly not the owner’s fault; but a caution for future renters We’ll likely take the more certain but longer route in the future.

Could've been Perfect
This property would've been perfect, the view was wonderful, house was perfect for our family of 4, loved walking out to the beach just steps away but what ruined our trip was the cockroaches. Ugh! We found one giant one and bought bait traps and set them up all over the kitchen, we sucked that big one up in the vacuum the next day and left it in there and we told the owner. Our bait traps started to work and we found some dead ones. The owner told us they were common around the beach and that they had a monthly service, she did offer to have them come spray in and out of the house but it was our last full day and we didn't want our kids breathing in the chemicals. This just put such a damper on the trip as I was having a lot of anxiety about bringing them home with us and I was washing everything and putting it right in the suitcase. We weren't looking for a refund or anything but we were really surprised about how seemingly dismissive she was about it, especially when we drove the 25 minutes to Walmart to get bait traps and they were working!! My husband said there definitively was the circle of life going on there because we found a dead baby one from our traps and we caught that giant one on the kitchen counter. If there were no roaches, this would definitely be 5 stars!!!

Amazing home!
We come to the beach every year and Fort Morgan often and this was the best beach house we have stayed in. The host were amazing with their communication on everything. They also had everything you could need there plus some. It was so nice having the beach toys, chairs, and an umbrella provided. The boardwalk and shower off area on the deck were great! They had sand absorbing rugs and a foot dipper by the doors. That was the least sand we have ever had in the house while being beachfront. The grilling station was awesome and so was the deck (having the gate at the top of the deck was so nice for our 1 year old running around too). I would highly recommend to anyone!

Beautiful little bungalow on quiet beach
The house was very clean and fresh with nice decor. The beds were very comfortable and the house had everything we needed available. The view off the deck was beautiful and the house is positioned with the neighbors slightly behind which left for more privacy. The best part was the beach was just a few steps away. Would definitely stay here again.

This views from this beautiful beach home are amazing! We have been coming to Fort Morgan for years and by far this home is our favorite. The home is very clean and updated. Kitchen is very well stocked with everything for preparing meals. We had great communication with Virginia. She even texted to make sure we were able to get in ok.

Perfect Place for a Relaxing Getaway
We couldn't have asked for a better beach house vacation. The house was better than expected on arrival, super clean, easy check-in, and Gail was on top of communication. The views were remarkable, walkway to the beach was absolutely adorable and perfect spot for photos. The kitchen was well stocked and set up for cooking in each night. The kids loved the bunk beds and were thrilled to have their own space. The deck was perfect for morning coffee and late night sitting. If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet place, look no further! We will for sure be keeping this gem on our list for future family trips.
