Morgan's Escape is the best location. Close to beach and pool!!!

'Morgans Escape' is a comfortable beach house located 200 yards from the beautiful private beach of Morgantown. You can sit on the swing or an adirondack chair on the front porch (38 feet long) and listen to the ocean waves while enjoying Gulf views.. The children can swim in the pool located right next to the house - or ride your bicycle along Fort Morgan Road, play tennis or just walk along the beach and collect shells. You can do as much or as little as you want in Fort Morgan.

Fort Morgan is a 20 mile peninsula bordered to the north by Mobile Bay and to the South by the Gulf of Mexico and Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. There are several world class golf courses located within a few miles of the house (Kiva, Peninsula and Plantation). The Ft. Morgan Marina & Tacky Jacks restaurant are just down the road where you can launch your boat or book a fishing charter. You can also take a ferry to Dauphin Island for a day trip (visit the estuarium or just ride bikes). Other area activities include shopping at Tanger Outlet Mall, visiting the waterpark in Gulf Shores, going on a Dolphin cruise, or playing miniature golf.

There are many excellent restaurants in the Fort Morgan/Gulf Shores area and a wide selection of Arts & Antiques stores in the city of Fairhope - about 45 minutes away.

'Morgans Escape' has a large kitchen and living area with plenty of room for the family to visit and have fun. Two bedrooms open to a back deck. There is a large dining table and a card table for games. There is a swing, picnic table and hammock under the carport. Dogs and children are welcome. These are pictures I've taken over the years.

Another pleasant stay

We, (husband, dog, myself) had a relaxed Thanksgiving week in Morgantown at Morgan's Escape. The neighborhood and beach are peaceful. We used the large Morgantown pool and the tennis court. It was easy to carry my paddle board down to the beach. The house is very clean and well equipped. It is about time for a new bed in the primary suite and a refreshed rug in the dining room and I'm sure these are the types of things that all nice rental properties replace frequently. We love the spacious front porch for coffee and reading. I felt safe leaving my paddle board on the porch or in the concrete area under the house. This is a terrific property in Morgantown!

Wonderful!

We had a fabulous, relaxing stay at Morgan's Escape. The proximity to the beach is perfect! The kitchen is stocked with more applicances, dishes, pots & pans than one could ever even use! The beds were comfortable and everything was spotless. The ONLY drawback to our trip was getting chomped alive by the gnats ("no-see-ums") on the front porch the first night. No fault of the homeowners, but MAN oh MAN, those gnats were ferocious. Pack your bug spray. We would happily stay in this house again.

Great Beach house

This beach house is very cute and so convenient to the beach and the size of the house was perfect for us. We loved everything about it. The only thing I can possible recommend is having a fan that you can plug in outside. The back porch gets a breeze but the front not so much. Will definitely rent this house again!

Nice property, although it wasn’t quite ready at check-in time, rugs had lots of sand under them, and the WiFi was spotty all week. Love the layout of the house and its close proximity to the beach access.

Beautiful beaches

We really enjoyed this home for our extended family vacation. We were a close walking distance to the beach where we spent every day and also enjoyed the two pools! The house was great for all of us! It was nice to have the bunk bed room, big kitchen and kitchen table to sit everyone for meals or game time! I would expect that there be toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, paper towel, hand soap, ant spray etc or have it listed that we need it. Internet access wasn’t the best but there was so much beauty to take in you don’t need it. We would recommend this house!

Loved the very short walk yo the beach!

The boardwalk to the beach is just steps from the driveway! It made it so nice! The property is open and spacious. Kitchen had all we needed. We always enjoy the pools in this subdivision. The only negative remark I would give is this property needs more dresser space. I family had a great week and we enjoyed this property
