About this property

Beautiful 3 Bedroom 3 Bath at the Beach!

If you like beach life, you will love Seashell Sanctuary. This property has it all. You name it, from a gorgeous, wide, white sand beach and beautiful water of the gulf to pools galore! It has basketball, tennis, horseshoes and shuffleboard. Hot tubs and a workout room and did I mention the beach? From the moment that you turn onto the property and drive down the beautifully landscaped, winding entry road, you will know that you have found something special. Families that discover the Plantation return year after year. It is far enough from the congested condo section, of Gulf Shores, to benefit from much less crowded beaches, yet a nice beautiful drive into town will land you at some of the best restaurants, night life, and family entertainment around including water parks, go carts and miniature golf. Seashell Sanctuary features three bedrooms and three baths on each side of the house. There are granite counter tops in the kitchen, and baths along with premium mirrors which have added a touch of class to the beach. The furniture is cleaned on a regular basis and replaced when it begins to show wear. Bring the whole family and share the expense. Seashell Sanctuary will sleep 18 people if both sides are rented. The "Abalone" side (VRBO.com/608340) will sleep 8 and the "Blue Whelk" side (VRBO.com/608341) will sleep 10. Black-out curtains gives privacy and comfort to the guest using the high quality, double pump, inflatable mattresses in the living room. The three baths really come in handy for this as well. One of the baths is located on the main level along with the living room, kitchen, and one of the king bedrooms. The other two baths are located upstairs along with the other two bedrooms. The master has an ensuite bath. Seashell Sanctuary is in a constant state of renovation and we are continuously making improvements. Some of the latest improvements are: Wood ceilings in the master bedroom, master bathroom and the kitchen. Secured, high speed internet, improved cable TV, new washer and dryer, new dishwasher, multiple smart TVs. In 2021 we added a new porch swing and new refrigerator to the “Blue Whelk” side and the “Abalone” side got a new refrigerator in 2023. Both sides received new outdoor furniture in 2023. All of the TVs are flat screens. The living room now has a 55 inch, the master has a 48 inch and the other bedrooms have 40” TVs so that you don't have to miss the big game while you are at the beach. Outdoor furniture, on the over-sized deck, will allow you to sit in comfort while enjoying your breakfast in the morning, coffee in the afternoon, and wine in the evening, all while listening to the music of the waves crashing against the sandy shore and watching the children swimming in one of the beautiful, tropically landscaped pools.

Great beach vacation
We had so much fun on our beach vacation and were so grateful for Darryl and his great communication. He was so kind, helpful and quick to respond to our needs. I spent a lot of time trying to find the best beach house for our family. We felt like the location and amenities near by this made it a good choice. We enjoyed the porch at night for eating meals and hanging out and the cute home decor. The beach and area are so beautiful and overall we loved it. We were happy they had so much beach and kitchen gear for us to use. The only thing that would have made it better would have been to have beach towels and more storage space for groceries but we understand how lucky we were to have everything else. Just a few notes We had a large group and a couple with us who had a baby. We appreciated the available portable crib to use. One issue we had was the extra bedrooms were smaller than we anticipated so it was a little tricky setting up the crib. We ended up putting it in the upstairs closet and just leaving the doors open. This was a room with a bunk bed so that made it a little difficult for that couple. We were there Memorial Day weekend and it definitely got much more crowded at the beach those days, which we expected. We noticed a few people set up their tent frames and kept them there all week so learned that we had to go put chairs up early in the morning to save a decent spot on the busy days. Many others did as well. Still had lots of fun. Thanks

Great vacation!
Everything was as listed in the website-beautiful! Owner was attentive to questions, kitchen had a lot of extras (blender/crockpot) which was wonderful as we ate meals in most of the time. Amenities were great for all age kids, close to the beach ,pools, hot tub. Bikes for use as well as beach supplies in a shared storage area. Being a duplex it had a lot of privacy and great views of the beach and resort. Highly recommend!

Fall Break vacation
Beach was beautiful! Location of the house is great. Short walk to the beach and right across from the pool. House was nice and accommodated all of our guests well. Overall it was a great stay. I have no true complaints, but just a few notes. First, we visited in October so although weather was great, it did get cool in the evenings which meant that the pool temperature was pretty chilly. I thought the pool was supposed to be heated, but it did not appear to be so. It was too cold to get in and we observed no one else in the area using it either. Second, the location is great if you are wanting to be a little away from things. There are a few options for eating, but most things you needed to drive a bit to get to. Great stay and would gladly return.

The small things meant a LOT!
From the time we arrived the property stood out among the others because of the colors & beautiful umbrellas on the front deck! I Was equally impressed with the inside coordinated colors and the attention to details - a beautiful beachy feel! A big ➕️ was all the extras some owners just don't provide for the guests & we greatly appreciated the little things! We WILL definitely recommend to friends & family & return again to stay at Seashell Sanctuary! Thank you Daryl & Karla!

Family spring break vacation
House is in a great location to the beach, pool and hot tub. Seashell Sanctuary was a great fit for our family of 4 adults and 2 children. Lots of beach chairs and bikes. We cooked on the grill most nights for dinner. Had a great time with family at the Seashell Sanctuary.

Seashell sanctuary is awesome
This beautiful place was great while we were staying in Fort Morgan. It was very close to a nice area of the Gulf shores Beach front. It's two story with a nice balcony area to sit out on. The front porch area with the swing is nice. It has a nice place to keep your vehicle out of the heat and if it rains it provides a great cover. There are stair underneath that lead to the living area and kitchen. There's s storage closet loaded with chairs, umbrellas, and other Beach accessories. There's a nice grill underneath along with a large picnic table. The inside of the side we stayed in had a room with a king size bed and small bathroom next to the full size kitchen. It has a nice bar and kitchen table as well as a nice sectional in front of a large TV. The living room area is very spacious and beautifully laid out. There were two bedrooms upstairs. One was a children's room with bunk beds and a pull out underneath them with large bathroom next to it. Lots cubby holes and storage for the stay. The other bedroom was a large master bedroom with a bathroom connected to it. It was laid out beautifully. Our experience was very good and it was a nice place to call home for week. I'd say that overall this is a great place to stay and plan to make it regular part of our beach vacations in the future as long as it's available.

Beautiful home and great location!
Our vacation was amazing. We are frequent visitors to the Fort Morgan area but this was our first time staying inside the Plantation property. The house is within walking distance to pools, plenty of area for kids to ride bikes (safely), and we visited the Sassy Bass for food/drinks multiple times (on property). We cooked many meals and enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen, including the charcoal grill one night for burgers. We spent a lot of time on the porches playing cards and could watch the kids ride bikes from the porch. There was plenty room for our entire group to spread out and all the beds were comfy! I would give Seashell B an A+ rating!

Perfect for a beach getaway!
The decor was stunning. The kitchen well stocked. The mattress (upstairs king) very comfortable and the linens were soft and luxurious. I liked and disliked the location for its remoteness from the Gulf Shores experience but kinda missed not being in the middle of the action as first time visitors to the area.. Overall, perfect for our family. The only negatives were the kitchen was so well stocked they’re wasn’t room for groceries and the kitchen knives were very dull. Not really an issue at all.!

Karla and I (Darryl) have lived on the Mississippi Gulf Coast for all of our lives. We have 2 children, Blaise and Sophia.

Why they chose this property

We looked at beach property for almost 4 years. We couldn't find a place that the whole family could agree on, that is until Seashell Sanctuary at the Plantation. It had everything we wanted and things we never dreamed would be in one package. Our daughter wanted swimming pools. Our son loves to bicycle. My wife wanted a spacious house to entertain and enjoy the family and everyone loves the beach!
