About this property

Awesome views of the Gulf, Easy walk to the beach and Private Pool!

  • The perfect house in the perfect spot with everything you’ll want for your upcoming vacation!!! Shore Thing Beach House is a very nice 3 bedroom-2 bath house featuring a beautiful 12 x 28 private HEATED swimming pool (November - April. $50 per day), surrounded by a 25 x 40 sun deck. This home offers the best of both worlds. You can spend the day at the beach frolicking in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico & playing in the sand or, if you prefer, you have access to your own private pool. The deck provides awesome views of both Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico and is perfect for sun bathing. When you come back from the beach be sure to rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower with both hot & cold water. Morning sunrises to late night talks can be spent on the covered front porch which offers plenty of seating and three rocking chairs. Other amenities include Satellite TV, TV’s & DVD’s in all bedrooms and living room, an outdoor grill and a very well stocked kitchen.

    Of the 3 bedrooms, the master bedroom has a king size bed; bedroom 2 has a queen size bed and bedroom 3 has a queen & twin size bed. The living room has a queen size sleeper sofa. Sleeps 9.

    Free WIFI, microwave, blender, coffee pot, dishwasher, laundry room.

This was my first stay using VRBO and the property did not disappoint. The property is just as described, very clean and appointed well with a little bit of a sun/salty character on the large decks. Location is really great with views of the gulf with fairly good privacy, yet easy access. Nice heatable pool. I really enjoyed the large front deck when you want to get out of the sun for a while. Great communication and Mick was responsive for any questions thank you!

We have been to Fort Morgen before and love the quiet beaches there. This house was just as it looked online. Clean, spacious deck, clean pool. Heating the pool was perfect in early spring (small fee per day to heat but owner told us about that a month early). Owner was very nice, easy to reach and responded promptly. House did not come with a lot of amenities like beach toys/chairs, bikes ect but we were not expecting them so it was fine. The house does sit in a neighborhood so walking in evening/mornings was nice. Beach access is right across the driveway. It was a great place for spring break.

This is absolutely the best property to stay with the beach basically at your front door. I love not having to go up and down stairs to the private pool this place also offers. There are several eateries within a 5 mile radius. It’s a beautifully quiet end of the beach. This house has everything you could possibly need for a great vacation.

Family Friendly Beach House!

We had a wonderful stay at this house! The owner was incredibly friendly and quick to respond when we had a minor issue — it was resolved right away, which we really appreciated. The house itself was spotless and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is fantastic — just a short walk to the beach — and the views from the front porch were absolutely beautiful. Enjoying our morning coffee while looking out over the scenery was a highlight of the trip. Highly recommend!
