About this property
Cozy, secluded, Not your typical beach rental
Romantic, Cozy and Secluded - Not Your Typical Beach Rental
This amazing beach house has tiled floors throughout, unique furniture and decorations, open floor plan, pleasing color schemes, the style is reminiscent of an old island plantation home. None of the typical condominium-style beach decor in this charmer.
The 3rd bedroom/bath has a separate entrance.
There are 2 private beach access for Surfside Shores residents and guests that are both a short walk.
Neighborhood description
The cottage is located in Surfside Shores subdivision, 14 miles out Ft. Morgan peninsula.
Fort Morgan is a well-kept secret with its beautiful white sand beaches without the crowds where you can enjoy the sunrises and sunsets from almost anywhere. Surrounded by nature in Fort Morgan you may see great blue herrings, turtles, dolphins and much other wildlife - truly a unique coastal area. Fort Morgan is known for its historic Civil War-era fort, a 6,000-acre wildlife refuge, and the Dauphin Island Ferry to the Dauphin Island Sea Lab. You can also enjoy bird-watching, charter fishing, golfing at world-class courses (Kiva Dunes next to Surfside Shores), offshore fishing, kayaking, biking, exploring the fort, shelling, ocean swimming, or simply relaxing enjoying this secluded paradise. Close by are several great restaurants offering fresh seafood, burgers, pizza, along with a store that has beach items, food, and necessities. If you feel like more entertainment Gulf Shores is just a 15-20-minute drive away. The Orange Beach Wharf/Restaurants/Shopping and Foley’s new OWA attraction and outlet mall are 30 minutes away.
Getting around
The house sits about 500 yards from the beach (as the crow fly.) 3 block walk. There are 2 private beach access for Surfside Shores residents and guests that are both a short walk. There are golf carts available for rent for those who choose that option. I can provide information on rental companies in the area.
