Catalina – Beachfront Classic | Pet Friendly | Fort Morgan

Welcome to Catalina, the one that started it all. This charming beachfront cottage was the very first home purchased by Steve and Becky Harris in 1983, marking the beginning of what is now Harris Vacations. Perfectly positioned along the sugar white sands of Fort Morgan, Catalina offers sweeping views of the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Mexico and a laid back coastal setting that keeps guests returning year after year.This beautifully renovated two bedroom beachfront cottage sleeps up to eight guests and welcomes up to two dogs, making it ideal for families who want every member along for the adventure. The beaches of Fort Morgan are pet friendly, and Catalina makes it easy to enjoy them together.

Conveniently located near other Harris Vacations homes including Fountain of Youth and Point Clear, Catalina is perfect for large families or groups who want to vacation close to one another while still enjoying their own private space.

Indoor Comforts
Step inside this renovated beachfront retreat and enjoy an open living concept filled with natural light and incredible gulf views. The comfortable living area features plush seating, a flat screen television, and direct balcony access that leads straight to the sand.

The updated kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances and stone countertops, making meal preparation simple and enjoyable. Gather around the dining table for family dinners or sip your morning coffee at the bistro table while watching the waves roll in. A washer and dryer are available for added convenience during extended stays.

    The house is right on the beach as seen in the pictures, and sitting on the back porch was so relaxing. We loved the great views from every room and the shades were great at night. All details were considered in this house from a comfortable bed and furniture, nice showers, a great stocked kitchen, hooks to hang wet towels and a dog-friendly floor. We loved our stay!

    The location, decor (nautical/beachy), and furnishings were excellent!! Only one small negative. It would have been a plus if the property had slightly better provisions......salt and pepper, napkins, and facial tissue. But those issues are very minor. If ever we visit Gulf Shores again, we'll definitely stay there!!

    Best place we’ve stayed! You cannot beat the location. This was our first time staying in a home on the beach and it was worth it!! The house was clean, updated, and beautifully decorated. Each room has an amazing view of the Gulf. The back deck was perfect for morning coffee and sitting out listening to the waves at night. Only feedback would be that the kitchen wasn’t stocked as well as we’d liked but we certainly made-do. There were plenty of towels, comfortable beds and living room furniture. For anyone planning to stay, take extra disposable cutlery. There was a large forest fire less than 2 miles from the home which had us a little concerned, but the management company reached out to let us know they were aware and would provide updates.
