Description

Steps to the Beach, Relax & Unwind, make memories

Experience the quieter side of Gulf Shores with a stay at our private beachfront location. Revel in the luxury of a less crowded beach, creating an intimate and exclusive atmosphere for you and your loved ones.

Cozy and inviting vacation home with comfortable living spaces and beautiful outdoor views makes a great place to vacation. Enjoy the easy access to the beach and take a romantic walk at sunset or enjoy a hot coffee at sunrise. The kiddos will enjoy and appreciate the close proximity of the large family pool. At the end of the day enjoy the shade in our east facing balcony or If you would prefer it is a short walk to the indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, and fitness center. We also have tennis courts, Basketball hoops, shuffleboard, and horse shoe pits located at the entrance of the complex.

The master bedroom has a queen size bed and private bathroom. The second bedroom has a bunk bed with a twin on top, a queen on the bottom and also a twin-size trundle. Cable TV and Internet available for your watching and streaming pleasure. Enjoy the afternoon shade and the partial Ocean View on our east facing balcony.

The complex has private beach access to the White Sands of the Gulf of Mexico. It is just a short walk to the boardwalk and down to the beach. Fort Morgan is located in the quieter part of the Gulf Shores area, so bring your family and enjoy the beach. Or if you prefer, use one of the three pools available to our guests. There is one adult only pool, one Family Pool and an indoor pool. The indoor pool is located in an area that we call the nest. The nest also includes a hot tub, steam room, sauna and Fitness room. We also have tennis courts and basketball hoops on the premises. If you like to grill, there are some charcoal barbecues located around the complex.

There are many things to do in the Gulf Shores area like golfing, hiking, fishing, swimming and many other watersports. There are also many fun things to do with the kids like visiting Waterville USA, Adventure Island, Alligator Alley, The Factory, Jurassic Golf, or the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo. I would advise you to go to Gulf shores.com and you can request a visitor's information guide. The information guide will help you to see all that there is to do in this beautiful fun area. The visitor information guide will also allow you to verify the hours of operation during your stay.
Plantation East is located right next to the Kiva Dunes Golf Course and the Bon Secour National Wildlife Preserve, which has hiking trails. Gulf State Park also has Trails for biking and hiking. At 1,540 feet long, The Gulf State Park Pier is Alabama's only public pier along the Gulf of Mexico.

The beach was so peaceful and not overly crowded, the onsite restaurant was great and the pools was so nice! Definitely will be booking again. Thanks Michael!

 Michael’s place was the perfect getaway…
tucked away from the main tourist crowds but still just a quick 20-minute drive to all the action. The outdoor pool was a huge hit and being just a short walk to the beach made it even better. Our family of 5 fit comfortably and the home had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

This condo is off the beaten path which was perfect for us. The property had pools, a restaurant,  a coffee and ice cream shop, plus sports courts, not to mention easy access to the beach. The condo itself is updated and furnished nicely. Comfortable furniture,  stocked kitchen, and a lot of small touches such as coffee provided, a few snacks, towels and beach necessities. Perfect for a family with children.

What a wonderful condo Michael has! Everything was updated, clean and I even got inspired by his beautiful kitchen - I now want the same tile in my house - it's that gorgeous! Beach was close by, Michael provided a beach wagon and lots of supplies, which was super helpful since we were driving. My kids enjoyed the many pools and the indoor one was a hit if it was rainy. Michael is super responsive and kind. We had a hiccup with the bed frame and he had it fixed the very same day. Wow! Now that's impressive. Thank you Michael for being such a superb host! Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed and we will be back!

Michael was super fast in responding to our messages. The house was just perfect for our family of 6. We cooked quite a bit and the kitchen was well stocked with all the pots and pans we needed. Having access to beach towels, beach chairs and a wagon really helped with not having to carry everything from home. We will definitely be back.
