July 6-8 Open! Adorable cottage w/ Beach Access

Highlights

Welcome to Longview! This super cute beach cottage just received a total facelift! Check out the photos to see the transformation.

When your vacation plans don't allow for a full week or if your group will be on the smaller side, then Longview might be the perfect fit! This adorable cottage is located in desirable Surfside Shores. This quiet community offers access to the beautiful white sand, pet friendly beaches. And Longview offers the perfect alternative for those guests that choose to travel with their dog since most condos are not pet friendly.

You will fall in love with this storybook beach house. Beautifully renovated and tastefully decorated, it truly is everything you wish for in a beach vacation. You are close to the beach but the home sits on a large lot on a quiet street, so you'll have the best of both worlds.

The Space

The furnishings are calming and welcoming, inviting you take off your shoes and stay awhile. There are two bedrooms and two full baths. The first bedroom has a Queen bed and the second has one Full and one Twin. There is also a sleeper sofa in the comfy living room, bringing the sleep count to 7.

The updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a conveniently located washer and dryer. And it is equipped with all you'll need to prepare tasty meals at home should you choose to dine in.

* Renter must be at least 25 years of age. Guests under 25 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Surfside and Fort Morgan

Located a scenic 15 miles from Gulf Shores, you'll find everything you need close at hand. Dollar General and Sassy Bass Market are just a few miles away and have all the basics you might need. There are several restaurants nearby offering a variety of tasty dishes. Tacky Jack's, Sassy Bass (2 locations), Coast and brand-new Jesse's (opening soon) to name a few. Some venues even offer live, local entertainment.

Fort Morgan fishing pier is now open, and anglers will have access to convenient inshore fishing and the abundant species locally available.

Be sure and visit nearby Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge with over 7,000 acres of coastal habit. You'll be able to hike through the preserve and observe local flora and fauna. There are 4 trails, varying in size and terrain and you'll definitely want to make time to visit this natural oasis.

Love this Location
This is our 4th year coming to Fort Morgan for the winter. We love this location, the neighborhood is quiet, we enjoy walking the neighborhood, I play Kiva Dune golf course while here so this location is ideal for us, plus we like to be away from the Gulf Shores crowds, but with a short 15 min drive we can spend the day there too. The Property Manager was excellent! We work remotely and when we first arrived, we had slow wifi, but she got on the phone with the service provider and got the situation resolved very quickly, outstanding job! When we booked, a huge plus was the fenced in yard to let our dogs out. Our only "negative" and it's really nothing major, was the fenced in area does need a little "tightening up". Our dogs did get out once, we're still not sure how or where, but there are a few spots where the fence is a bit loose. Nothing that would stop us from re-booking the house. The size for (2) people was perfect, I would not want to have more than (2) adults here though. The second bedroom for smaller kids would be fine, but as an adult I think it would be less desirable. All-in-all a great house for us and again the property manager was excellent.

Great place for travelers with dogs
Enjoyed our first visit to the Gulf Shores area. The dog-friendly beach and the fenced yard made the trip very convenient for our dogs. The property manager was very helpful and responsive in resolving several minor issues.

nice little beach cottage
A quaint little beach cottage - ideal for two people for a long weekend. the proximity to the beach is nice but the beach access is more centrally located in the neighborhood so we rented a golf cart to make our commute a little easier. The property was clean and manager was quick to respond to all of our questions/needs throughout our stay. The kitchen could use some updated cookware/knives. The back door with doggie door was not operable at the time of our stay but manager said they were aware and were working on getting it repaired. wasn't a huge deal for us. overall, nice place for the price.

Gulf visit Oct 2023
The house was somewhat smaller than it appeared in the listing but was very comfortable. The storm door to the back deck needs repair and if the wind caught and slammed it we could not open it from the inside as the handle was not attached. I do think the air conditioner needs attention. On the couple of days that it was in the upper 70's this house became quite warm and stuffy and the unit did not seem to be able to cool the house. Thanks for your efforts on the updates. The work you put in is nice

Fun to Bike to the beach through the neighborhood
We stayed a few days over Labor day weekend. The house is located in a quiet out of the way spot. It was nice to be able to have our dog at the house and on the beach with us. The beach access is a bit of a walk so it was great to have our bikes. Nice little neighborhood to ride through. The house is small but very nicely appointed. It was just my husband and I, even so it was nice to have the two bathrooms. The deck was lovely. We took the short ride to The fort and rode bikes there. We also went home via the ferry which is located nearby. We landed shortly across the bay in Dauphin Island. Fun little trip.

Thanks for a wonderful stay!!!
Property was in a great location away from the high traffic areas while still within walking distance of the beach. Only a short drive from gulf shores. Fort Morgan is a must see if your in the area and enjoy a little history lesson. Very friendly neighborhood.
