Great News, we have added (in May 2023) a new mini-split A/C to the main area to keep the house cool on those hot days, so we now have 2 HVAC systems. Also added close cell spray foam under the house to help keep the house cool on those hot days.
Start your vacation right and forget the cares of this world as you wake up and enjoy your coffee on the spacious front porch listening to the waves and watching the pelicans soar on the horizon. After your coffee, take a stroll on the white sand in the early hours to see the dolphins greeting you with the sunrise and before you come back in the house, there is a outside shower (Hot & Cold or warm) to rinse the sand off before heading upstairs.
As you return to make breakfast, lunch or dinner, enjoy a spacious and fully stocked kitchen that opens itself to a large island both now have new quartz countertops and open living room. The large breakfast bar has 4 bar stools. The Dining Room table fits 4-5 as well. As you head to the beach, feel free to use the wagon downstairs to haul your kids or your stuff to the beach! Enjoy your movie nights in the living room on huge 75 inch TV with the family.

Fort Morgan has so much to offer you! The fishing here is phenomenal with the Fort Morgan Marina only 5 minutes away. They offer charters of the bay and ocean and the Fort Morgan pier is some of the best fishing in the Gulf! If fishing is not your thing, eating local seafood still might be. The renowned Sassy Bass Grill and only 5 minutes from your house and Tacky Jacks is 2 minutes away. If you like history the actual Fort Morgan is open to the public to tour and there is a new board walk between the ferry launch and the Fort. Come to the peninsula and see what the buzz is about.
The Ferry also leaves from the peninsula and takes you to Dauphin Island. Go enjoy a dolphin cruise and have the dolphins right at your side. Fort Morgan is Gulf Shores best kept secret. Come and enjoy your stay at “As Good as it Gets.” We can’t wait to have you!
Fall, winter and spring guests now can enjoy our new electric fireplace that actually puts out heat with the flip of a switch! And parents don’t worry it’s safe and not hot to the touch.

    The front deck, comfortable furniture on it, and great view are enough to make me give this five stars, but the inside living area is great, too! Kitchen has anything you could need. The hosts were quick to get check in info to me even though I booked at the last minute. It takes a one minute to get to the beach, and it’s a perfect beach spot to watch the sunset. Also very dog friendly. I loved that hot water outdoor shower to rinse the sand off in a little bit chilly weather! Highly recommend!

    We enjoyed our stay at As good as it gets. Very short walk to the beach. Kitchen was well stocked and beds were comfortable. Enjoyed the front and back decks and the outdoor furniture. The beach wagon and grill were useful as well.

    Definitely would rent again and recommend this property. The pictures are deceiving in a good way. It was so much nicer. The walk to the beach was closer than appeared in the pics. The Hendersons were so nice. Thank you so much!!!

    The house was lovely, tastefully appointed and included many of the amenities we didn’t expect! Extra blankets, coffee bar and full kitchen were amazing! The trash service was a special extra touch. We enjoyed the beauty and serenity of this amazing home, steps from the beach! It was hard to leave, but we did start planning our 14th annual return trip and hope this house is available again. Very gracious hosts! Thank you for sharing your beautiful beach escape with our family. We made many treasured memories and look forward to more!

    The house was just perfect for 6 adults. Location was great and just quick walk to the beach. It’s on a dead end road so not a lot of people. The house is fully stocked with variety of pans, new appliances, and new queen bunk. The AC was also very good. House was nice and cool. The host was excellent and very responsive to our questions and needs. Overall, we were very happy with the house and would recommend staying here.

    This house is perfect for a fun beach getaway. The kitchen is nice and fully stocked including kids plates and cups which my kids loved, the beds were so comfortable, and the swings and hammock downstairs were one of our favorite spots. The house is a super quick walk to the beach and you can even see it from the balcony with your morning coffee. We can’t wait to come back!
