The highway connects downtown Gulf Shores to the tip of the peninsula at the Fort and Fort Morgan Ferry, which goes to Dauphin Island. The drive down Old Fort Morgan Highway is visually stunning. The road rambles through undisturbed Southern woods and past the wide waters of the Little Lagoon before opening to a dramatic northern vista where Mobile Bay meets Bon Secour Bay. Come experience the Fort Morgan lifestyle and enjoy the beach the way it was intended, where Southern charm meets a bohemian atmosphere and unforgettable vacation memories are created.

Other things to note
Beach Information:


✶ Swimming in the Gulf of Mexico is much different than swimming in a pool. It is important to respect the strength of the water and to protect the marine life that lives in our area. Guests can check the surf conditions before heading to the beach. Riptides are a serious concern for the Fort Morgan Peninsula. To ensure guest safety, please pay attention to water conditions. Always check the tide and weather conditions before getting into the Gulf of Mexico. To receive a daily text with surf conditions and beach flag information, text ALBEACHES to 888-777.



✶ On that same note, it is highly important to respect the sea turtles, especially during nesting season, which runs May through October. It is a Federal offense to disturb a sea turtle or its nest. In an effort to help this endangered species, despite what others do, do not leave beach equipment on the beach overnight and do not leave on bright floodlights. The floodlights disorient the baby sea turtles, which results in a very sad ending to their lives. If the Fish and Wildlife department can pinpoint a home's floodlight to a disturbed nest, they will charge the guests with a Federal offense. Help us care for our endangered species.

    My family and I really enjoyed this property. It was spacious for our needs and very clean. The views of the water from the windows, deck, and dock were spectacular. We enjoyed watching the various animals (birds, fish, dolphins) throughout the day and the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere made the property a great place to relax and unwind after spending time in the hustle and bustle of the Gulf Shore area. We appreciated that the house was close enough to everything but far enough away from the congested vehicle and people traffic. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone considering staying in the Gulf Shores area.

    This beach house was nothing short of exceptional, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we walked into the door, the first thing that stood out was how incredibly clean and well maintained the property was. It’s clear that the owners and cleaning staff take great pride in keeping the space spotless. One of the highlights of our stay was the fishing . The location is ideal for anyone who enjoys spending time on the water. We caught a great variety of fish and appreciated how accessible everything was. Overall, this beach house delivered an unforgettable experience.

    We had an amazing stay at this beautiful vacation home on Mobile Bay. The house was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location couldn’t have been better — peaceful, convenient, and perfect for fishing right from the property.One of our favorite moments was sitting outside in the evening, watching the sun melt into the bay. The colors across the water were absolutely breathtaking and made each day feel special.This was truly the perfect place to unwind, and we would love to visit again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a clean, quiet, and scenic escape on the bay.

    Just wonderful! My grandson loved being right on the water. All he wanted to do was fish! Also a five minute drive to a low key Gulf Beach. Only minus was it was kind of a food desert unless you went into Gulf Shores. One of my best vacations ever. The weather was perfect...Bonus!

    A beautiful home with amazing views. We saw dolphins, pelicans, sea gulls, herons egrets,and different types of birds from the deck. The fishing from the pier was great. Mullet, sail cats, hard head cats, and whiting provided us with several meals. Florida stone crabs, blue crabs, and a few sting rays were also caught. The house was clean and the reclining couches were very comfortable.Adhy was so nice. We will definitely be back!

    Great home, very clean with plenty of rest rooms. The only issue was the stove top. Everything else was perfect and we really loved the super long boat dock and very large parking area.

    We vacationed with family and friends ages 19 to 64. The house was great. We saw Dolphins on the majority of the days we were there. We caught a few fish, saw beautiful sunrises and sunsets and took some great pictures of storms in the distance.There was almost always a cool breeze on the dock to help with the heat. The beach access was close. We stay in Fort Morgan because we prefer less people on the beaches. The house is in a great location for that and yet has easy access for shopping etc. I met the host Ahdy and he was very gracious. Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

    My 2 sons, parents, brother, and I loved staying here!! Such a beautiful place! Enjoyed time on the pier fishing and swimming in the bay. We had the ocean just couple minutes on the other side! The house is located away from the big crowds and very peaceful. Absolutely loved walking on the private pier and watching sun rise and set. Andhi was very responsive with any questions. The home was very clean. My family and I did not want to leave. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to just relax and have everything within few minutes away. Thank you Andhi and I hope we get another chance to stay again!

    We were very pleased with the property. Everything was as described or better as far as I could tell. The view and private pier was amazing. The house itself was in very good condition I would highly recommend anyone to visit here. The host was very easy to communicate with and prompt in returning any messages we had.

    The home was very clean. Lots of space for family or group of 6. The view of the bay from the deck was beautiful. There is public beach access to the Gulf about 10 minutes away.. the owner was great to work with and very responsive. I would definitely stay there why. Thanks for sharing your home.

    Dolphin Watch's view is fabulous. We used the pier frequently to enjoy the sunrise and sunset. Fished from it, catching some skates and small fish and were lucky enough to witness schools (1000s) of croaker (I think) pass through while pelicans tried to pluck them out of the water. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals and furniture was comfortable. Grill wasn't available to us at first, but when we requested it, we had it when promised. Two items of note: If you choose to stay and you plan on cooking, be sure to bring (or buy) any spices you need. Unlike other vrbo's this property wasn't stocked with anything but some salt and pepper. The other item of note is the security cameras on the back deck, you will not any privacy on the deck due to the placement of the cameras - just something to be aware of.
