Located just13 miles from Gulf Shores on the Ft. Morgan island peninsula with its uncrowded beaches and beautiful coastal vegetation, FortMorganSeaside is located in an ideal private beach community off of the main highway. This newer built beach house with its 9 foot ceilings, tall windows, 5 bedrooms, and 5.5 baths, sleeps 13 comfortably. All 5 bedrooms have their own private bath. Unwind as you take in the panoramic view, sounds, and mist of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico with its stunning sunrises and sunsets.

The top-level has a large open living and dining area with full glass door to the deck, perfect for taking in the soothing sound of the ocean, the salt air, gulf views, watching the surf, spotting dauphins, and open starry skies! The living area has plenty of comfortable seating for everyone to watch an awesome sunset, have fun conversations, or catch a movie on the flat-screen TV. Much of the new coastal furnishings and art were created by local artists. The dining area can seat 12, room for the whole gang to enjoy family meals or a board game while enjoying the beautiful gulf views in the background.

Surrounded by natural habitats in Fort Morgan you will see great blue herrings, egrets, pelicans, turtles, dolphins, and much other wildlife - truly a unique coastal area like non other on the gulf. Our community in Fort Morgan, Surfside Shores I believe is one of the best neighborhoods of Fort Morgan because of its very large lots offering more privacy, sand dunes, lagoons, interesting wildlife, and natural coastal vegetation. Surfside Shores makes a great place for biking, walking, and jogging with all its miles of neighborhood streets. This Community has 2 beach accesses and owns the first 100 feet of beach from the mid-tide line for its residents to enjoy. Our house right by the main beach access.

Fort Morgan is known for its national historic 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. Two new additions to Fort Morgan in 2023, we now have one of Alabama’s greatest restaurants, Jesses just 4 miles from the house. We also have a large new dollar store/market just 3 miles from the house that has just about everything you would need including fresh produce, and all at reasonable prices. Also close by are several great restaurants offering fresh seafood, burgers, pizza, along with several stores that have beach items, food, and necessities. If you feel like more entertainment Gulf Shores is just a 15-20-minute drive away and has a brand new zoo. The Orange Beach Wharf/Restaurants/Shopping and Foley’s shopping, new OWA (amusement park) attraction with a large in-door water park, and outlet mall are 30 minutes away.

We designed and built our beach home to spend time together with our 3 grown children as well as all our grandchildren. We wanted to give our family privacy while we are spending time together under the same roof. Along with all private baths, we added sound insulation to all the bedroom, bathroom and stairway walls, as well as added sound insulation between floors. Our house is not intended to pack in large groups. We strictly enforce our occupancy and renter age policies. We live in the area and our maintenance /security people live around the block which is great for addressing your needs. Note: There is a security camera outside in front and one in back of the house for safety and security. No cameras are inside the house.

About the host

Hosted by Noreen Kendle

Host profile image
We built our first home in Fort Moran in Surfside Shores 10 years ago as a family beach house to enjoy family time with our 3 grown children, 7 grandchildren, and close friends. We took great care to design and make this a special place that our whole family could enjoy. After many years in an Information Technology career, I retired and moved to the beach. It has been so much nicer looking out onto the ocean than a computer screen.

In 2016 we decided to vacation rent of our previous beach house. Then a few years ago we were able to buy another lot in Surfside that was only 150 feet from the gulf so we sold the first house to build this new one. We were able to build a larger home, kept many of the features that our family and guest loved, and add more features. We feel blessed to have this piece of paradise and hope that it will continue to be a place where our family and guests gather for many years to enjoy the natural beauty of the coast and to make wonderful memories.

We spend most of the off-season enjoying our home which allows us to take good care of our home ourselves, so we are truly a vacation rental by owner. We hope your family will enjoy our home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with Fort Morgan the first time I saw it. It is truly a special place - one of the last frontiers along the gulf coast because it has not been commercialized. Fort Morgan still has a pristine natural environment with coastal vegetation, wildlife, uncrowded private beaches, all in a peaceful quiet setting. Fort Morgan is surrounded by water with Mobile Bay to the north and west and the Gulf of Mexico to the south. Many have commented “it is like being at the beach 40 years ago and “out in the country” at the same time.”

Of all the areas on Fort Morgan, I was drawn to the Surfside Shores neighborhood because it is unique with its large lots, sand dunes, lagoons, interesting wildlife, and natural coastal vegetation. Surfside makes a great place for biking, walking, and jogging with all its neighborhood’s paved streets. This Community has 2 private beach accesses and owns the first 100 feet of beach north from the mean tide line for all its residents and their guest to enjoy. No other neighbor has this.

When this lot came up for sale, we purchased it immediately because of its unique location being closer to the water than many "gulf-front" homes. The beach front lot across the street is not buildable so the views are great. Also, it is almost across from our main private beach access making it very convenient. With the reverse floor plan, the views from the top level are amazing. Building a new home allowed us to construct Gold Fortified and incorporate many newer features and materials.

What makes this property unique

FortMorganSeaside’s ideal location is one of the many benefits to our home sitting about 150 feet from the beach offering spectacular panoramic views, rolling wave sounds, and great salt air. The home is closer than many “beach-front” homes without the beach-front price. FortMorganSeaside is located catty-corner from our private beach access, very convenient for the multiple trips back and forth. Due to its ideal location, you can enjoy the site, sounds, wonderful smells of the salt air beach without the sand from the deck. Our beach is private and uncrowded where you can easily relax in the sun, enjoy the surf, take long walks picking up interesting shells, enjoy the sunset, build sandcastles, or dauphin watch. The grandkids love our private pool where we relax when we have had enough of the beach and sand.

There are many benefits to being a newly built home. The open floor plan with 9-foot ceilings, tall windows, light decor, and southern exposure gives an open airy outdoor beachy feeling. While the home has an open layout for family/friends gathering, at the same time the home offers great privacy where all 5 bedrooms have private baths. Also, there is sound insulation between the floors, as well as the bedroom and bathroom walls adding to the privacy. My family enjoys the privacy, as well as the open layout for coming together to share meals, games, movies, and conversations. We also have separate HVAC and Hot water per floor. With all-new material, hopefully, you will not have any inconvenient maintenance issues. We also used many local artist's furnishings and artwork, making our home decor unique.
