Overall, the stay was great.Family really loved it!! The neighborhood is going through lots of renovations on the road. We go down every year and stay in Fort.Morgan. I would recommend anyone to stay here. It was a great location, great house. If youAre not looking for being right on the beach, but are willing to drive to the beach. I would note that it is a little bit of a walk from this home to the beach access.That the neighborhood provides, if you're willing to walk.

Family Getaway

The home is wonderfully secluded, offering excellent privacy while still being close enough to Gulf Shores Parkway and Orange Beach for dining and shopping. The bedrooms are spacious, and there's a great living area perfect for hosting large group dinners. Outdoors, the property is equally impressive, featuring three picnic tables and additional seating. The private beach is just a short 0.4-mile walk away. I highly recommend this home for both large groups and smaller families.
