About this property

Drift Away, a Charming Coastal Cottage with pool and hot tub

  • "Drift Away" to the perfect beach getaway! Enjoy Alabama's beaches the way they used to be. The Rookery unit 2502 is located on the beautiful Fort Morgan Peninsula, away from all the high-rise condos in Gulf Shores. You can enjoy uncrowded beaches, nature trails, wildlife, and plenty of relaxation. Just a short 10 minute walk to the beach!

    This charming coastal cottage has hardwood floors throughout, comfortable seating, 3 large smart TVs, free wireless internet, a cozy screened-in porch, a fully equipped kitchen and much more! The primary bedroom has a king size bed and private bathroom. The second bedroom has a queen sized bed and full bathroom. The bunk bedroom has two sets of bunk beds, a twin over full and a twin over twin. Bed linens, bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths and kitchen towels are provided. A few extras are added to make our guests feel at home (starter supplies of garbage bags, hand soap, dish soap, laundry pods/softener sheets, toilet paper and paper towels). The unit includes a full sized washer and dryer closet.

    There are two swimming pools, a hot tub, and tennis/pickleball court on the property. The cottage is located beside the courts and the large, zero entry swimming pool. The Rookery is a golf cart friendly community so bring one (or rent one upon your arrival) and enjoy easy access to the beach! The cottage also includes an outdoor grill and comfortable Adirondack chairs. Also, located throughout the community, are shared grills and picnic tables. There is also space to park your boat!

    This is not your typical beach vacation! There are many activities nearby for everyone to enjoy. There are several golf courses nearby as well as golf cart, bicycle, and kayak rentals. Historic Fort Morgan is located just a few miles away, offering daily tours or from there, take the ferry over to Dauphin Island Estuary. Several restaurants, including Tacky Jacks and the award winning Jesse's on the Bay, are just a short drive away. There is a marina located just 4 1/2 miles down the road for the deep sea fishing enthusiasts and a 2 minute walk to Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge for the nature lovers!

    The cottage is a non-smoking unit. Pets are not allowed.

    Snowbirds are welcome!
