The house your family will ask to come back to.
You planned every detail of this trip. The house should take care of the rest.
My Happy Place sits in Heritage Shores, a quiet gated-feel neighborhood in Fort Morgan, on the calm end of Gulf Shores, Alabama. The sand is 0.1 mile from the front door, about a two-minute walk. No high-rises, no crowds, no fighting for a parking spot. Just a short walk with the cooler and a whole stretch of beach to yourselves.
And yes, bring the dog. We welcome pets with no weight limit, and the Fort Morgan beach is one of the few places around Gulf Shores where your dog can come along. [Joe: confirm the dog rule for the beach access nearest the house before publishing.]
Room for everyone to spread out
- 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, sleeps 9. Two king suites, so the grown-ups both get a real bed and a real bathroom.
- Surf-themed bunk room that sleeps 5. The kids will claim it in the first minute.
- Smart TV in every bedroom, so movie night doesn't have to be a vote.
- Open great room with a big dining table and a fully stocked, renovated kitchen. Drip/Keurig coffee maker included.
- Washer and dryer. Pack light; wash the swimsuits every night.
- Fast Wi-Fi and parking for 3 cars on two driveways.
Where the kids will spend their time
The covered game room under the house is the reason families rebook: pool table, ping pong, bar with a fridge, TV, a swing bed and a hammock in the shade. Rinse off sandy feet in the hot-and-cold outdoor surfboard shower before anyone comes upstairs.
Two community pools plus tennis and basketball courts are three houses down. You can see them from the corner lot, so older kids can go on their own while you stay put.
Your morning coffee spot
The upstairs porch has a partial Gulf view and a breeze. It is the quietest seat in the house.
Beach day, already packed
Beach chairs, an umbrella and beach towels are here, so you don't have to fit them in the car.
