About this property

Huge deck with beautiful views! Beach Access/Sleeps up to 10

Perched atop a high sand dune in Cabana Beach, Captain Morgan's Fort is
a great place for families looking for a spacious home, near the beach with great gulf views. (Sleeps up to 10 persons, but no Spring Break house parties allowed. Rental age 25 and up)

On the upper level you will find a large open floorplan with high ceilings and a well-equipped kitchen, pantry, breakfast bar seating for four, a large dining table that seats 6-8, half bath and a comfortable living area with a wall-mounted Smart TV. The Master bedroom and bath are also found here. Stretched across the back is a huge deck with entrances from the living area and the Master bedroom. .

Downstairs are two more bedrooms, a shared bath and full laundry. One bedroom offers a queen bed and the other two sets of sturdy bunk beds. Each room has its own Smart TV. Hi speed WiFi is free

The large, second story, covered deck is a great place to dine while you watch the Gulf of Mexico with its beautiful sunsets or, let the gentle gulf breezes lull you to sleep on the swinging bed. Enjoy the deeded beach access just a short walk away or take the car and park at the community lot. Cabana Beach also has a fishing pier and kayak launch across Ft Morgan Rd. on Mobile Bay. .

Because this owner is a member of the Beach Club, guests can enjoy the Club's amenities for a daily fee that reduces the more days you purchase.. This allows guests at Captain Morgan's Fort to access the Clubhouse including its outdoor pool, hot tub, indoor pool, steam room, sauna, gym, game room, poolside bar and grill, and tennis courts. Additionally, as a guest, you can rent beach chairs and umbrellas, kayaks and participate in Beach Club activities, including marshmallow roasts and Kids Club. The fee covers everyone in the house, per day, for the days you choose. Ask us about how to access these awesome extras!

Without paying an additional fee you may patron the fine dining restaurant, The Coast, with its spectacular Gulf view from the Clubhouse second floor (seasonally) or The Hideaway bar and grill on the North side of the resort. The salon and spa are located on the first floor of the Clubhouse. The Beach Club is approximately a 7-minute walk west on the beach or you can drive and park on location.

For those who want to hit the links, Kiva Dunes Golf Course is just two miles west . Also just a few minutes drive east is the Peninsula Golf and Racquet Club.
Consider spending a day exploring the Fort Morgan Historic Site and Museum, just 10 miles away, or take a ride on the Mobile Bay Ferry to Dauphin Island where you will find sister fort, Fort Gaines. On the way home, grab a delicious seafood meal at Tacky Jacks or Sassy Bass Amazin' Grill. Or, head into the heart of Gulf Shores to visit the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo or play at Pirate's Island Adventure Golf, only 14 miles east.

This house sleeps 10 people comfortably but is also snowbird friendly. Just contact us for details and pricing. Remember, no pets allowed!

Whatever the season or the reason you come to Gulf Shores, Captain Morgan's Fort is the perfect place to stay.

Every thing was nicely done. We did have a few kinks in following the directions to the beach and the Beach Club property, but assistance was provided as needed

Fort Morgan
We loved the location. The home was nice and clean. Some what limited on supplies and kitchen extras. A 10 mile drive to the nearest store. However we loved being somewhat removed from the crowds at Orange beach. We loved the beach. Quiet nights. The adjacent club was not an amenity we used.

Perfection at Cabana Beach
We had a great stay at Captain Morgan’s Fort with our family. We enjoyed a relaxing vacation and everything this property had to offer. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals for a large family. We loved the access to the private pier for fishing, lounging on the oversized porch swing to read, and all the amenities at the Beach Club. Thanks for the great memories in Fort Morgan! We will be back!

Cabana beach cozy!
We had a wonderful stay and loved how close the beach was, we had access to the private beach. Plenty of beach toys and supplies. The rooms were comfortable the only problem was the connection to WiFi in the downstairs bedroom. We enjoyed everything about our stay and would gladly book Captain Morgan’s again.

Absolutely amazing in every way!
This house was SO perfect for our family, SUPER clean (it smelled SOO good when we got there), VERY spacious, had everything I needed to feed our large family for 5 full days, there was even an extra bed/cot (it was a legit twin bed with mattress that folded up and was in the master closet) so we didn’t even have to use the air mattress we brought for the younger ones. The view was great too! We were sent the check in code before we even left home, which made checking in as easy as putting the code in the door once we could check in. We used the Beach Club pools every day, it was a very easy walk along the water to get there, which is where we’ve usually stayed but we’re SO glad to be on the “private property” side because the Beach Club beach was so crowded and we had PLENTY of room to set up wherever we wanted each day but still had access to the pools and activities at the Beach Club. The walk to the private beach was a short 5 min but we just left all our gear in the back of our van and drove it down to the parking lot right by the beach which was even easier! The master bed was very comfortable & the kids all said their beds were too. Water was always hot & had great pressure. House was cool, we never adjusted the temp. I truly cannot get over how perfect this house was for our family. It would be good for any size but we struggle finding a place we can spread out that’s not outrageous in price, so I believe it was totally a God thing that I found this place.

Fall Break getaway.
I came with my 3 teenage daughters for Fall Break. The home was exactly like the listing. We each LOVED the porch bed/swing! It was the perfect spot to watch the sunrise and sunset each day. The house was a 5 minute walk to the neighborhood beach access. Martha was easy to communicate with before and during our stay.

Beautiful House with Beautiful Views
This was such a beautiful property. Everything about it was absolutely perfect from the views, to the location, down to the layout. My family enjoyed our stay here. This was my Memaw’s first ever and probably last ever beach trip and she absolutely had the time of her life. She especially loved the swing bed as that’s where she spent a majority of her time. Our trip was so relaxing and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. Will definitely visit again in the future. Highly recommend!

Summer renter
House is spacious with 3 couches to spread out. Downstairs is perfect kids and guests. Beach is very close and resort is wonderful. Day charter fishing trip was successful. The ferry ride to Dauphin Island was relaxing. Totally bypassed Mobile. The sunrise and sets were beautiful. The beach clean and water refreshing. We enjoyed all our activities. I would suggest the tree limbs leading to the property be trimmed and close to deck to enjoy a better view of the beach. Would visit again. Fort Morgan has alot to offer.

Just Amazing!
This place was absolutely beautiful! It was perfect as a large family staying there. We absolutely loved the beach access. This is perfect if you have small children as the beach is not far at all and not crowded either. We will definitely be back and recommend anyone to stay here!

Awesome!
We really enjoyed our family's stay in the Gulf Shores area! The place is close enough to Gulf Shores to be easy for shopping, food, etc, yet far enough away to be free from the traffic and crowds. Loved the set-up, with the master suite upstairs adjacent to the kitchen, and kids rooms/bunk beds downstairs. Cabana beach is a short walk away (although if you are taking much with you such as coolers, umbrellas, etc it is a bit of a hike). There is the option to park right there as well, but that lot was quite crowded for most of our stay. All in all, this place is wonderful, clean, and in a great location. We loved our time here.

Relaxing Getaway
We had a wonderful stay. The house accommodated all 9 of us and I loved the fact that my husband and my room were upstairs while his brothers family stayed downstairs - gave us some separation during our stay. The house is as stated and we had no issues. Great view of the ocean from the deck and an easy walk to the beach. The beach was not overly crowded like most, it was quieter in the evenings which made sitting on the deck much more enjoyable than other beaches we’ve been to where all you here are cars, music and such. It was a peaceful stay and would definitely recommend staying here!

Why they chose this property

The views, the privacy and the close proximity to the Gulf Beach and Bay make this home the perfect vacation venue. The gulf breeze and beauty of the natural growth of native trees and wild Rosemary is so relaxing you will not ever want to leave.

What makes this property unique

The location feels very private yet is close to restaurants, fishing, golfing, water sports and more. It is closer to town than most of the Ft Morgan communities with two convenience stores within just a few minutes drive. The Beach Club Resort is a stones throw away with its pools, spa and restaurants. So convenient!
