About this property
Fun for All at Turtle Crawl! Great House w/PRIVATE POOL! 1 min. walk to Beach!
Take a trip back in time to Turtle Crawl, before high rises and congested beaches. You may even witness baby sea turtles boil from their nests and crawl for the ocean. Come fall in love with Turtle Crawl in Fort Morgan Beach and take your custom koozies home with you as a momento of your vacation!
Enjoy the sunset from your private pool deck or stroll on a quiet beach. As the moon rises over the gulf, steaks sizzling on the grill, shrimp steaming in a pot and the blender cranking in the background, time truly evaporates and takes the stress of daily life with it.
We have made some major improvements to our beach house as always. We installed all new cabinetry plus granite counter tops in the kitchen with a new sink and faucet. We also have all new appliances including a built-in ice maker and beverage fridge. We have all new flooring throughout. The hall bath has a new vanity, granite top and mirror. We doubled the size of the master bath and it now has a double vanity and granite top as well as a larger shower with glass doors. We also have a Teak dining set on the pool deck so you may relax with your drinks and snacks or lunch by the pool. The hot/cold water outdoor shower is what we have wanted to build since we bought our house and we finally did it! It's so fun to have.
If you don’t care to cook, just a few miles west is casual dining at Tacky Jack's; great seafood and options for the kids. The view of the sunset from their deck is unbeatable. If you'd like something closer, less than a mile east is a fun restaurant and bar, Sassy Bass (next to their pizza shop/grocery/liquor store). Formal dining at Kiva Dunes is a short drive away, as is the informal at The Beach Club Sports Bar (5 miles) or Behind the Pines Restaurant and Bar (5.5 miles). Of course, you can head to Gulf Shores for Outlet shopping, Mini Golf, OWA Amusement Park, the Zoo or the action of day or night.
Turtle Crawl is a perfect fly-in vacation or easy drive from Hwy 10. Jack Edwards National Airport (Gulf Shores Regional Airport KJKA) can accommodate from Cessna to Jet-sized aircraft. Gulf Air Center FBO is also a pick up/drop point for Enterprise Car leasing (Foley AL).
Enjoy Turtle Crawl and for a time make it your own!

About the host
Hosted by Laura + Chip
Born and raised in St. Louis, we first came to the area in March of 1982 and fell in love with the sugar-white sands and wide open beaches. We arrived under orders to Flight School for the US Navy. With our four children now grown, we had to come back.
Why they chose this property
After retiring from the Navy we settled back in St. Louis and Chip flew for American Airlines. Our dear friends from flight school, and beach neighbors (three houses east) introduced us to Fort Morgan. Having grown up in the area, he knew of the well-kept secret place. We were hooked!
What makes this property unique
We chose Turtle Crawl for its peacefulness and views in every direction from the pool deck or front porch. The open floor plan is ideal for hanging out with family and friends. We love seeing the sea turtles hatch and never get tired of witnessing that miracle. The daily distractions of life are swept away by the tide.
