Big Blue is a spacious private home tucked away in Surfside Shores, a private beach neighborhood with trees, vegitation and sand dunes. A 5 to 10 min walk to beach access, but close enough to the shore to hear the ocean when out on either of the two large decks at the back of the house.

We are just a hop down the road to Tacky Jacks and Sassy Bass restaurants in Ft Morgan and the new Jessie's by the Bay in Gulf Shores. If you would like some exercise, take a walk directly down our beach to the Sassy Bass Island Grill at the Plantations right near the water.


Home Layout:

The first floor has a master bedroom in the front of the house and the washer dryer. The back of the house faces the gulf, and the pool. Both bedrooms in the back of the house have french door access to the large back deck. The back bedrooms are connected by a large Jack and Jill bathroom with a rainfall shower.

The second floor has a wide open floorplan with the kitchen and living room sharing the same space. In the front of the house, the second master bedroom has a large closet space. The kitchen has french door access to the large top deck for outdoor dining.

We have stocked the kitchen well with a ninja blender, toaster, a drip coffee maker, modern fridge with ice maker. Pots, pans and cooking utensils and plenty of plates and utensils.

The staircase to the crows nest is on the second floor and our young guest love this unique space with the twin bed, small foldout foam couch and writing desks. We also have guests use this area as a remote working space or creative writing space.

We use Skylink high speed satellite internet for any remote work needs.

Each bedroom and the living room have smart tv’s for streaming video, live tv or gaming.

We are just a short drive to the Ft Morgan ferry doc for day trips to Dauphin Island and Pirates Cove.

    Loved our stay at this house. It was very clean. Our hostess was very accommodating, friendly, helpful, and responsive. It was a lovely location. I loved our private pool. The beach was beautiful. And I love that it is not so crowded. Our family had a wonderful time.

    I will start by saying the communication with Elisa was incredible. What a great host! The house is beautiful and spacious. The pool was just the right size and refreshing. We were very close to the ocean. You can see the ocean from the upper balcony which we spent time having coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening. My family and I plan on returning. Also, my oldest grandson enjoyed the crows nest. It was a private getaway for him. Thank you Elisa for sharing your wonderful home with us!

    The house was very clean, beds and bedding were comfortable. Kitchen was nicely stocked with cookware and utensils. The location was perfect. We loved the quiet neighborhood and private beach. We all had a blast in the pool. You should definitely rent the golf cart. While it is technically within walking distance, the golf cart is very handy when hot, sweaty and tired after a day at the beach lugging all your bags. We would stay here again!

    Had a wonderful time, and appreciate onsite managers, Lisa and Jays help. House and pool were great, and glad we got the golf cart. Not far to the beach, but made it so much easier. Adding to our vacation spots to return to. Only drawback were the jellyfish, but that's nature for ya!!! Thanks Elisa!!!

    6 adults and 3 children 10 and under. Private pool which the grandkids loved! Only issue was there was no parking at the beach for vehicles-just golf carts. Plenty of space for all!

    Second time we have stayed at this property, and it was just as nice as we remembered. Great communication with the host. The only issue we had was with the coffee maker, and it was fixed immediately. We will be back, and would highly recommend. We have a family of 5, and 2 dogs, and we had more than enough room. Thanks for another great family vacation in Fort Morgan!

    If you’re going to be rained in by a hurricane for most of your vacation, this house is a good one to stay in. All kidding aside, the house was clean and beautiful. The pool was nice and I didn’t find the walk to the beach to be too daunting. Would stay there again.

    Great location and beautiful property! Plenty of room and well appointed. Great communication with owner Elisa and local property manager Lisa who was readily available for anything. The pool was a perfect perk and of course we love all the little local spots Fort Morgan has to offer! Thanks for a great Labor Day week!

    Best neighborhood to stay in Ft Morgan!!! House is within walking distance to beacb access, however a cart rental makes it more bearable!! We had a few minor hiccups upon arrival, but quick communication with owner/property manager corrected those.

    Had a great holiday week with the family! The house was spacious and the pool for the kiddos was a huge plus! The recommendation for the golf cart was greatly appreciated, it made traveling back and forth to and from the beach a breeze since I always tend it overpack! Will definitely be back! ❤️

    I apologize for the delay in providing feedback following our visit to your home. Finding the right words to accurately convay our experience has taken some time, but I am pleased to finally share my thoughts. Our stay at your home was truly exceptional, and we have been enthusiastically recommending it friends and family ever since. Every aspect of our visit exceeded our expectations. From the serene and peaceful ambiance at night to the proximity of the beach, we couldn't have asked for a better retreat. A special mention goes to Elisa and Lisa, whose recommendations for local restaurants and assistance in arranging a golf cart rental with Tim were invaluable. Their insight added immensely to our enjoyment of the area. Moreover, the cleanliness of the house was exemplary, contributing to a comfortable and welcoming environment throughout our stay. In conclusion, our time at your house was nothing short of fantastic, and we are already looking forward to returning. Thank you once again for providing such a memorable experience. Warm regards, The Wood Family

    This was our second time staying in Gulf Shores and this place far exceeded our previous experience. The house was great but having the pool in the backyard was great as we had multiple children that required naps so we were not stuck inside. We rented a golf cart so getting stuff to the beach was no issue. Elisa was more than flexible with travel arrangements. One of the best part was being secluded from the downtown craziness but a quick and easy 15 minute drive or so to get to restaurants. Should we return to gulf shores we would definitely stay here again.
