Fort Morgan Waterfront Bay Cabin-Gulf beach. Private Comfy & Romantic Wifi Cable

This little cabin is an original Bay cabin that has been well cared for. It is full of original artwork and photographs, many done by our local Gulf Coast artists. The property is located on Bon Secour Bay which is across the street ( .5 mi) from the beautiful sugar sand beach of the Gulf of Mexico. It is the only dog friendly beach on the Fort Morgan Peninsula. Well behaved, leashed dogs, with responsible owners are welcome! We are 10 miles from downtown Gulf Shores, where you can find a zoo, amusement parks, live music, tons of restaurants, miniature golf, souvenir shops, etc. There is also an outlet center nearby in Foley if you want to shop! A boat ramp is just up the road to put in your small boat or jetski. Or put your kyack in right over the sea wall! There is a kayak rental place down the street which will deliver.

The washer and dryer are located up in the shed with beach chairs and toys. The cottage has a large screened porch with a large picnic table. It is the perfect place to pick some crabs and shell some peas, and watch the kids try to catch fish or crabs on the pier in the shallow waters of the bay. If you are looking for an old fashioned beach vacation, near attractions, but off the beaten, this is the place for you to unwind after a day at the beach. Hang your towels on the clothesline, rinse off under the outdoor shower, then relax under the ceiling fan on the porch which is shaded with trees laden with Spanish moss. Just a perfect romantic getaway or for a couple or a family with small children.


Family owned property since the 1950's: I purchased this property from my mom in 2004. My stepdad was a professor at University of Alabama built 'the cabin' when he wasn't fishing! In 2005 I put a new roof on it, updated electric, put in a heat pump, and covered it with hardiplank. Although it still retains its charm, it is more energy efficient! Two flat screen tv's. As of January 2019 the cabin has new countertops, new tile floor, and a fresh coat of paint.

Golf: The Peninsula Golf Club and Kiva Dunes are located just down the road.
Other local courses include Pure Palmer Golf at Craft Farms, Cotton Creek, and Cypress Bend.

Outlet Shopping: Ten miles north of Gulf Shores in Foley, Alabama the Tanger Outlet Center features 120 name brand shopping options for the bargain hunter. Brooks Brothers, Calvin Klein, Osh Kosh, SAS, Gap, Banana Republic, Anne Klein, and more.

The City of Gulf Shores has a recreation center with daily, weekly, or monthly rates. It features an indoor temperature controlled swimming pool, basketball courts, fitness room, There is also a really nice playground near town, even a doggy park!

Kayak, Jet Ski and Pontoon Boat Rentals near by. Dolphin cruises, Historic Fort Morgan is at the end of our peninsula. FISHING is everywhere!

There is also a Sauropod 🦕 footprint on the property given to me by an archeologist. He made an imprint of it in central Texas!

Beach/Bay Get Away

The Cabin is small, but well appointed with a wonderful screened in porch that faces the bay-perfect place to relax whether it’s raining or sunny. The cabin is located across the street from one of the best beaches in the area, so you have the best of both worlds in one location. The owner, Debbie, responds immediately about any questions. I wouldn’t be surprised if we return.

Convenient & Cozy

Location was fantastic, private dock to bay and short walk to gulf side. We loved taking our dog on walks to the beach to play and enjoy the white sand and waves! We got fish daily off the dock and enjoyed the beautiful nightly sunsets. The cabin is set up nicely for any activity you’d like and we’ll be back! Thank you Debbie for your communications and information.

The bay sunsets were beautiful!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. We loved the location - quiet, peaceful, off the beaten path. Debbie was a great host - good communication. Unfortunately we both came down with bad colds so we weren’t able to fully enjoy the area but what a nice place to recover! The cabin has everything you could possibly need. Lots of interesting artwork and mementos to look at. Thank you so much, Debbie, for letting us stay in your cabin! We hope to be back another time in the future!

Relax to the Max

This is our second stay at Debbie's Cabin. We find it to be one of the most relaxing places to stay..She has everything that you would want to cook and enjoy a dinner with friends. This is the only place my husband leaves the world behind, and can sleep with no problems....Our dogs enjoy the area and the walks to the beach... Debbie tries to accommodate your needs, answers all your questions promptly...It is like going back in time. We think it is like returning to the 70's when life was very simple....and every day was a dream.....

Home way from home!

Ms. Debbie is the nicest home manager I have ever delt with! The house is truly like a home way from home. The house was clean and the location is perfect. You are 20 mins from Gulf Shores and nowhere from the beach. I caught several fish off the dock including a 8-10 lb Redfish and it was a fight! He was also very tasty on the grill! Our dogs had a blast and they loved sitting with us on the pier. We were suppose to leave Saturday but we stayed an extra day because we didn’t want to leave and she had no problem letting us! We will be back and we 100% recommend this to everyone! Also, best sunsets ever! Thanks so much Debbie for the hospitality!
