About this property

Castaway II

Castaway II is a beautiful beach home located less than 100 yards from the prettiest, and perhaps least crowed, beach anywhere! The home's 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, along with full size, complete kitchen, eating bar, spacious dining area, den, and laundry room offer generous room for your stay. The home features tile flooring (except bedrooms), is fully furnished, with a fully furnished kitchen, featuring all needed small appliances, dishwasher, microwave, and stove; -everything you will need for a quiet and restful vacation in our 'no condo' single family residential community. All bed linens and towels are furnished at no extra charge. A washer and dryer are in the home for your use; TVs in the family room and master bedroom with satellite for your enjoyment, along with DVD and vcr players.

The master bedroom has a king size bed; another bedroom has twin beds; and, the remaining two bedrooms each have queen size beds.

The front deck faces east- perfect for enjoying a Gulf coast sunrise, and is shaded in the afternoon for enjoying the view of the Gulf and the constant Gulf breezes. This house is located approximately 300 feet (length of a football field) from the Gulf- the street (Bernard Court East) dead-ends on the beach for direct beach access- there is no cutting through other folks property, or walking great distances to gain beach access.

There is an extra refrigerator under the house for your use. The area under the house is concrete which provides a parking area and/or shaded play area for children. There is plenty of off-street parking for multiple vehicles, your boat, or other watercraft.

Alcohol is allowed on our beaches, as are pets. You are free to leave beach umbrellas in place over night.

We appreciate your interest in Castaway II.

Guys trip

The house was everything we could have asked for. Guys trip with plan to go deep sea fishing, & the house was convenient to the marina & spacious enough for all 6 of us to be comfortable with plenty of room to spare. There was an issue that we needed to contact the owner about, & she was easy to contact & handled the issue promptly. Plan on staying here again.

Wow!

Our vacation plans for Colorado fell through a week before we were supposed to go so we booked our trip to Fort Morgan on a whim. This was our first time staying here and WOW!! This property was SO SO perfect for our family. Clean & so close to the beach, we were all thrilled! We met Joe & he was so kind! This place was such a gift to us this week. Thank you SO much for an awesome property that you allowed us to enjoy for the week!

Wonderful time

First time in Fort Morgan and booked on a whim. Loved the location and access to beach (quick and easy for kids) the house was very homey and perfect size. Spent most the time out on the beach. Loved that we didn’t have to pack beach toys or our wagon because they had those there, same with towels, rags, etc. We can’t wait to book again!

Spacious and comfortable

Great accommodations with a short walk to the beach. The house was spotless, and well stocked with towels, linens and extra blankets. The local grocery store and restaurant was only a few miles away. My family and 2 dogs stayed for a week over Christmas, and had a fantastic time! Definitely recommend for a family for an extended stay.

Great

So close to the beach and quiet neighborhood. House is huge with great kitchen and plenty of cooking utensils (first one I stayed at that had a cast iron skillet) Owners frequently in neighborhood and available without being intrusive. Beach was lovely and just steps away. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. Will be back!

We love Ft. Morgan!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Castaway II in Ft. Morgan, AL. The house was just the right size for 5 adults and 3 children. The short walk to the beach made the location perfect. Ft. Morgan is such a family friendly area. We were able to leave our beach set up in place for the entire week. The kitchen was great, as was the laundry room. We will definitely be back.

Beach Vacation

While we enjoyed our beach vacation, I felt the home lacked much! The kitchen cabinets are grimy, there were pans stored that were filthy with food, the filters in the home were hanging with dust, the stove light stays on constantly showing there is a burner on, there was milk dribbled down the side of the couch, you could see daylight around the doors while closed and locked, there were dead bugs in the tray on the dining table, absolute filth and disgust behind the bed where the plugs are to use for cell phone charger, the broom (without a proper handle) had hair balls built up on it and the furniture is outdated and uncomfortable. The home is spacious, however, needs updated and deep cleaned. The outdoor shower and parking area are nice. It is a very short distance to the beach but does not allow for sunset or beach views. The home would be an excellent choice if it were clean and updated. Has a nice deck but is not safe. The front rail was wobbly and in poor condition. Home has cable but only 1-2 decent channels, the others are all infomercial channels. While we did not allow the poor condition of the home to ruin our vacation, it would have been nice not to have to wash all the dishes and bedding prior to use and clean the home before being able to relax.

Great Location for Your Beach Stay

This home is a great location for your beach stay. The property is dated, but maintained. Our beds were comfortable, and it was relatively quiet considering all the neighbors were also on vacation. There is no internet service at the property, which was frustrating. The owners have this home between two other of their properties, and have you tether off one of the adjoining property’s routers for internet service. This limited internet use to specific areas of the house. Also, the property owner would show up unannounced. While it was nice to have things fixed in a timely manner, you never knew when there would be a knock at your door from one of the owners.

Great Family Property

Communicating with the property owner was easy, and they were so nice and very accommodating. The house had everything we could possibly need, the property was in a very safe area, super close to the beach, very friendly neighbors, quiet area…I can’t say enough good things about our stay. This was our first time renting a home and using Vrbo, and I don’t know that we’ll ever stay in a hotel again. Would definitely recommend!

Loved it!

We go to Fort Morgan every year. This is the first time staying this far down and it was very quiet and friendly. We had everything we needed in the house. There was a mix up with the date and the cleaning was not finished yet but it was an easy fix and the property owner was very nice. Loved having the extra things for the beach in the room downstairs to take with us.

Outstanding Week at a beautiful beach!

Castaway II was a spacious and beautiful home located a really short distance from the beach. Plenty of room for my husband and I and adult sons with their girlfriends to spread out. Tina and Joe were great to work with and helpful and responsive if needed. Fort Morgan is family /pet friendly so it’s a real great place to relax and get away to! Only down side is if you forget something at store, you have a ways to go back to the busy gulf shores area—BUT that is also a plus in my book!

About the host

Hosted by Tina Scarborough.

Host profile image
We are native Alabamians. We live in Tallassee, Alabama.
Joe and I enjoy actively participating in our Church, traveling with our friends, boat rides, fishing and shrimping, riding the ferry to Dauphin Island, bike rides in the Fort Morgan and Dauphin Island area, and enjoying the prettiest beach in the world- here in Ft. Morgan!

Why they chose this property

The Fort Morgan area reminds us of how Gulf Shores was forty (40) years ago- prior to the proliferation of condos. Ft. Morgan is a quiet, peaceful place to relax and enjoy the pristene white sandy beach, salt air, and ever-present Gulf breezes; a community of single-family homes; with great neighbors and friends.

What makes this property unique

Only a short walk (less than 100 yards-the length of a football field). Our street (Bernard Court East) actually dead ends onto the beach- there is no cutting through other property owner's yards, or walking down the beach front road east or west to access the 'public' areas. The Gulf ( and Bay views when leaves are off the trees in the Fall and Winter) can be enjoyed from the front deck. Since the house is located about a 1/4 mile away from Fort Morgan Marina, and approximately a mile from the Ft. Morgan historic site with public boat launch and fishing pier (to be remodeled in the coming year), there are a lot of fishing and boating activities available- we enjoy shrimping and fishing in Mobile Bay.
