Gulf Front House, 5 En-suites, Heated Saltwater Pool, Gas Fire Pit, Two Dens

Newest amenity: GAS FIRE PIT. The gas fire pit is located in the sitting area near our heated saltwater pool. Enjoy the warmth of our gas fire pit on those cool nights as you listen to the waves coming in. Just turn on the valve on the propane tank and ignite the burner. No wood required or ashes to ruin your clothes.

We purchased this house in January 2018 and have earned the prestigious Premier Host badge.

We have made the following improvements to our beach house since we purchased it in 2018. New mattresses in each bedroom; all five bathrooms were completely remodeled (see details below); new leather furniture in both dens; new dining table, dining chairs, and bar stools; new furniture in all the bedrooms, all new kitchen appliances; six smart HDTV’s; replaced both HVAC units and HVAC duct work; installed a pool heater; converted pool to salt water system, new LVP flooring on the first floor and new carpet on the second floor; complete repaint of the interior and exterior of the house and concreted our parking area.
Bathroom Remodel: we did a complete remodel of all 5 of our bathrooms. The bathroom remodel consisted of replacing the tub/shower units in all 5 bathrooms, new tile surround, new tile floor, new commodes, new vanities with granite or quartz counter tops, new brushed nickel faucets, new light fixtures, and new mirrors.

Gulf front house (not a duplex unit) with 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms all en-suites, and a Private HEATED SALT WATER pool. Walk from our house to the beach. Beautiful view of the beach/gulf from our house or our 2 decks. Watch dolphins swim by in the gulf or pelicans slowly flying by looking for the catch of the day. Four bedrooms have King beds, the 5th bedroom has bunk beds that sleeps 4. All bedrooms have attached en-suite bathrooms. There is a leather sleeper sofa in the second floor den that also sleeps two. The house has two dens. one on each level so adults and kids have their own separate living areas. The den on the first floor has a 75" 4K Smart TV and the den on the second floor has a 65" 4K Smart TV. Both 4K TV's also have a 4K blu-ray DVD player and a 3.1 surround sound bar.
Amenities include 7 HDTV's, each with a blu-ray DVD player.

We offer self-check in at our beach house. No having to drive to an office and wait in line to be able to check to start your beach vacation. Electronic keyless lock, just enter your 4-digit code and your vacation has begun!

First floor: The den has a leather sofa. leather love seat and 2 chairs, 75" 4K Smart TV with a 4K blu-ray DVD player, 3.1 surround bar, and a beautiful view of the gulf and beach. A fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances (side by side fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave), ice machine, Keurig coffee brewer, coffee maker, Bartesian cocktail maker, toaster, blender, crock pot, waffle maker, pots and pans. You just need to bring your food; we provide everything to prepare your meals. The dining area has a mahogany table that seats 8 people and 6 bar stools. The dining area also has a beautiful view of the gulf/beach. A full-size washer and dryer are located just off the kitchen.
There are 2 bedrooms on the first floor with private baths on this level. Each bedroom has a king bed, 39" Smart HDTV with blu-ray DVD player, ceiling fan, and a private bath with tub/shower unit.

We provide two highchairs, two Pack N Plays, and a gate for the stairs.

Part of the pool area is covered so you can sit in the shade, or you can lay on our chaise lounges to get that perfect tan. We provide beach chairs, boogie boards, and sand toys. There is a gas grill and a charcoal grill in this area. The pool is NOT heated in the following months: November, December, January, February, June, July, August, and September.

The gas fire pit is located in the sitting area near our heated saltwater pool. Enjoy the warmth of our gas fire pit on those cool nights as you listen to the waves coming in. Just turn on the valve on the propane tank and ignite the burner. No wood required or ashes to ruin your clothes.

We have 3 security cameras at our house. Two are located in the carport area pointed toward our driveway/street. The other camera is located at the top of the stairs and is pointed toward the stairs. The purpose of the cameras is to protect our house when it is vacant. We do not monitor our cameras when our house is occupied.

Family trip
We went as a family of 13. We had all our own space. It was wonderful! Seeing the ocean from the kitchen dining room, easy to access the beach! The house was so well equipped! My three adult children, their spouses, and my husband and I loved it. We didn’t want to leave! Don and Cindy were very welcoming and gracious! I’d love to stay there again!

Fabulous Family Beach Vacation
Where to begin … Everything about this stay was perfect. Our whole family agreed completely. Here are some highlights: - The shortest distance we have ever walked to the beach. (Maybe 50 yards to water) - The pool was great and perfect entertainment for the young grandchildren. - House was extremely clean and well stocked, including the kitchen. - Direct communication with the very kind owners was helpful and thorough. - The decks overlooking the gulf were beautiful. - Having 2 different living room areas made everyone happy. - Very comfortable beds. - All the beach chairs and umbrellas, beach cart and toys you will need. - Loved the rinse area near the pool. - WE WILL BE BACK!!!

Perfect Spring Break Getaway
Serenity Now was exactly as wonderful as described. Don was an amazing host, checking in to ensure our group had everything we needed and that all aspects of the home were in working condition. Much better than working with the larger rental agencies who are difficult at best to reach. The home was equipped with everything we could have needed and more. Plenty of space for our group of 7 adults and 7 kids. We loved the location right on the beach and away from the hustle and bustle of being closer to Gulf Shores. The pool was heated and a great amenity when coming off the beach and this time of year when the Gulf is pretty cold. Would highly recommend this home and location! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

The perfect family vacation!
Not enough words to describe what a great beach house, Serenity Now, is or how wonderful the owner was in ease of communication, checking in on us and the thoughtfulness in making sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing family getaway! Plenty of beach chairs, toys for old and young, umbrellas, towels, etc! Although we went on Spring Break and knew ahead of time that the temperature might be less than ideal, we still had a great time walking the beach, collecting shells, watching the grandkids play and enjoyed the many shows the active dolphins put on every day! The braver adults did enjoy time in the water and definitely the heated pool! We can’t think of another beach house we’d rather go to for our next family trip! We’ll be back!!

Pure relaxation
House was fantastic and had all of the little touches that make for a special rental. Once you leave the house you are on the sand and you can enjoy the beach and gulf. We also enjoyed coming back to the heated pool for relaxation in the evenings. The host is great to work with and genuinely cares about the experience of his guests. We would definitely stay there again.

Awesomeness on the Beach!
This was our first time renting a Beach House and it was absolutely the best experience possible. The location of the Beach House was perfect. Right out the door we are on the beach. We could listen to the waves at night time, Heavenly. Every amenity was thought of in the house. Spacious bedrooms, closets, sitting and family rooms. Dual front decks positioned for the view of the beach and water. Simply incredible - we will be back very soon!

Perfect!!
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Serenity Now and it was truly amazing. The location was perfect, right on the beach with stunning views of the ocean. The house itself was spacious and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities you could need for a comfortable stay. The bedrooms were cozy and the beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The kitchen was well-equipped and perfect for cooking meals at home. The highlight of the trip was definitely spending time on the beach, whether it was swimming, sunbathing or taking walks along the shore. We had an amazing time in the evening admiring the beautiful colors that shone from the pool lights. The reds, blues, and greens were so vibrant and created such a mesmerizing effect! Overall, I highly recommend this beach house rental to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation!! We truly have no complaints at all!

This property was great! It was beautiful, clean, spacious and furnished with anything you could possibly want or need. We had 14 family members and were very comfortable with the bedrooms and the 2 different living areas. We sent the kids upstairs and the adults downstairs so it was very accommodating for us. We had great communication with the owner and arrived a little early and he let us check in. After 7 1/2 hours in the car we were very grateful. The location to the beach was close and the views from the balconies were amazing. The pool was the best. Big enough to accommodate every one. We really enjoyed everything about this place and we will be back. thanks for the best vacation destination! We will be back.

Family Spring Break
This house was perfect! The communication from Don was amazing. The house is a bit of a drive from the tourist areas but the almost private beach made the drive worth it. Our kids range from 10 years old up to 17 years old and all 6 loved the house, the beach, and the pool. We would absolutely book again!

Beautiful Home and Great Accommodations!
Spring break stay with my family and my husbands family, with a total of 8 adults and 4 children between the ages of 7 and 10. The home accommodated all of us and the two dens allowed for some open space for the adults and the kids. Owners were very responsive and communication was really good. Provided all the household ammenities one would need and want. Easy access to the beach. And the private heated pool was an added bonus that sets this home apart from others. We would definitely recommend this house and location!

About the host

Hosted by Don Ward

Host profile image
My name is Don Ward and I am a retired Vice President at Bank of Brewton in Brewton, AL and also past President and Director of the Brewton Chamber of Commerce. My wife, Cindy is a retired teacher/librarian at Brewton Middle School. Our daughter, Ashleigh graduated from the University of Alabama and was a Crimsonette (majorette) in Alabama's Million Dollar Band for 4 years (2011-2014). We enjoy traveling to different places each year but we love the beach at Fort Morgan and the Smoky Mountains. We have been in the vacation rental business since 1998 and have been members of VRBO since 2008. We have earned the distinguished Premier Host status.

Why they chose this property

Ft. Morgan has gorgeous white sand beaches and it's away from the crowded beaches of Gulf Shores. There are a few restaurants in Fort Morgan, but a short drive and you're in Gulf Shores or Orange Beach which both have many amazing restaurants and activities. Our house is directly on the beach and it's large enough to bring the whole family, we sleep 14 people. The private heated pool means your family will be the only ones around playing, laughing and enjoying this place. Our beach is a perfect place for families. It is quiet, spacious, and NEVER crowded.

What makes this property unique

The gas fire pit is located in the sitting area near our heated salt water pool. Enjoy the warmth of our gas fire pit on those cool nights as you listen to the waves coming in. Just turn on the valve on the propane tank and ignite the burner. No wood required or ashes to ruin your clothes.

This house has amazing views from every window or sitting on either of our covered decks is even better. Serenity Now is a private home NOT a duplex unit. It has two dens which means grown ups and kids can each have their own space to hang out. The private HEATED SALT WATER pool gives the little ones and adults a place to swim and play in the shade if you've had enough sun. From March 1 to May 31 and October our pool heater runs 24 hours daily. The pool heater thermostat is set to 86 degrees. The pool heater is a heat pump and it will raise the water temperature in the pool a maximum of 25* above the ambient (outside) temperature. The pool is NOT heated in the following months: November, December, January, February, June, July, August, and September.
The five bedrooms with two sets of bunks and a leather sleeper sofa means you can bring the whole family and still be very comfortable. We sleep 14. With a gas grill or a charcoal grill and a fully stocked kitchen you could spend the whole day on the beach then prepare a gourmet meal at home, watch TV or splash around in the pool until bedtime. You have everything you need here to make some wonderful family vacation memories!
