Escape to the sunny coastal shores and experience the ultimate getaway in this charming 3-bedroom, 2 bath cottage duplex. (sleeps 6) The Rookery is beautifully positioned at the edge of the Bon Secour National Wildlife Preserve and is merely minutes – approximately 0.4 miles – to the beach.

With convenient access to your front door, embrace an effortless transition as you settle in and make this space your own. Unwind in the cozy living room, where you can curl up and watch your favorite shows on the smart TV with satellite/cable channels.

Explore the fully furnished kitchen, complete with coffee maker, blender, toaster, crock pot, lobster pot and all the necessary cookware and utensils to whip up delicious meals. Gather around the dining table or enjoy al fresco dining on the porch.

The primary bedroom features a queen bed, private ensuite bath, and smart TV, making it a perfect place to recharge after a day on the beach. The second bedroom offers a comfy queen bed, while the third bedroom has two twin beds, each room with its own flat-screen TV, so everyone can enjoy a relaxing stay together.

Savor your morning coffee or enjoy a refreshing evening pause on the porch, where the ceiling fans and retractable blinds enhance both comfort and shade. Adjacent to the entrance, the block patio features a grill for outdoor culinary activities and includes a water sprayer, perfect for rinsing off sand following beach excursions. The surrounding sandy area offers plenty of space for children to play and explore.

For a refreshing dip, head to one of the outdoor pools and soak up the sun on the beach loungers. Little ones especially enjoy the zero-entry pool, where they can wade with no steps to climb.

Take a leisurely walk to the beach or choose the ease of convenience. Drive across and include all of your beach essentials (chairs, umbrella, towels, cooler, drinks, snacks, floats, etc.). Enjoy a stroll along the shoreline, find the perfect seashells, splash in the waves, build sandcastles, or simply relax in the ocean breeze. Before retiring for the day, a visit to the hot tub is essential to cap off the evening for ultimate relaxation.

The cottage provides free WiFi, at the fastest speed available, to help you stay connected and an in-unit washer and dryer, to enhance your overall experience.

    We really enjoy the area and the Rookery. We have stayed there for many years. The process to check in and out is as easy as possible. Our only complaint about the Rookery this year was the hot tub had been temporarily taken out due to damage. The house itself could have been better. The master bathtub feels like it has no subfloor so lots of popping and creaking. It felt a bit like we were going to fall through. The handles leaked and the master tub didn’t drain well. The bathroom accessories were falling off the walls. And it was not clean at all. We found some nicotine patches, a half empty water bottle, hair ties, and general trash under two of the beds. There is also not really anywhere to store a week’s worth of groceries so we just had to put things on the floor along walls (cases of soda, etc.). There are a TON of dishes and pots and pans so some of that could have been used to food. The outside shower wasn’t working so you couldn’t spray sand off. We’ll be back to the Rookery but not this particular home.

    It was our second time staying here. This is one of the best places to stay if you want to be away from all the business. Carol is amazing to work with. We will be back again next year.

    This was a great house. The furniture was very comfortable as well the beds were great. The kitchen had a large selection of cooking items. Our unit was very close to the pool which was great, large with plenty of seating around. It was just a short drive to the beach which was very nice, not crowded. i would recommend this to anyone looking to stay in Ft. Morgan Beach.

    My family and I loved it. The place was clean and very roomy. VERY RELAXING also. The price was great also, you would have paid the same for a hotel and did not have to be around other people and it was QUIET!?

    We arrived on Friday, checked in the minute. We walked in the Door we were all in awe of how beautiful this little cottage was. It's perfect if you like to stay in the quiet area. Each bedroom was the perfect size.The bathrooms were great. You're still not far from any action that goes on around you. If you've never stayed here, you need to stay at least once. The cottage is gorgeous and the manager is awesome to deal with

    This is a great getaway. The location is excellent if you enjoy being out of the busyness of the town. The beach access is easy to get to. The boardwalk out to the beach is great. It goes out on the beach a good way so you don’t have that far of a walk across the sand to the ocean. The pool is fantastic, however the hot tub was roped off the whole time (but it was too hot anyway). The pool is a zero entry so my 2 grandchildren loved that. They could choose their own depth to play in. The community is great. It had several small ponds that has all kinds of creatures and critters (including alligators). I do recommend you bring bug repellent because mosquitoes can be bad depending on when you go. The cottage was a 3 bed 2 bath. 2 of the bed’s had 1 queen bed and the 3rd bed had 2 twin beds. One of the queen bed’s had a private bath. The other queen bed had a sliding door (kind of like a Jack and Jane bathroom) going to the other bathroom. It had a washer and dryer. There were also extras such as beach gear and charcoal for the grill. Not sure if that was left by the property owner or the last renter but was told it was ok to use it by the owner. There is not a lot of pantry storage but I had a plastic tote that I used to transport stuff in our truck. Once I unloaded that I was able to put it on top of the dryer and use it for pantry storage. The cottage is decorated very nice and was extremely clean. Only complaint would be the 2nd bath shower sprayer & curtain.

    The cottage was not only perfect for our girl's getaway but ideal for someone like me with walking difficulties. I chose this cottage due to it being one story and parking available steps from the front door. There were a few steps to climb to enter the cottage, but those were not an issue for me. In addition, we were very close to the pool, so my friends could walk if they wanted, but we also had the option to drive and park close to the pool gate. It was just three of us, so we each had our own bedroom. Having two bathrooms was nice, and we liked the layout of the cottage. The owner sent emails in advance with detailed information about the cottage and Fort Morgan area, which was much appreciated. I would definitely go back.
