About

Highlights

Alabama Dreamin' is everything you look for in a beach vacation home, and more! This beautiful, private home is located in the quiet community of Surfside Shores. White sand beaches and lighter crowds make Fort Morgan a super desirable location. The home is impeccably maintained, and you'll appreciate the updated wood tile flooring. Expansive decking on all three levels provides a spot to fit every mood. Pro Tip: Be sure and the end day on the top-level deck, perhaps with your favorite beverage in hand. You'll find the star gazing at night to be spectacular!

The Space

The spacious great room has a wall of windows, so you'll never be far from that amazing view. You'll find a comfortable sectional sofa for lounging, TV watching or just hanging out. Don't forget to check inside the ottoman for a great selection of games! Also, be sure to check out the electric fireplace. You might not need it for warmth, but it adds to the atmosphere in the evenings. A dining table and counter seating provide dining space for the group. The kitchen is large enough for multiple cooks and is equipped for those nights when you choose to dine in.

Alabama Dreamin' offers 4 bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, an open-concept living and kitchen space, a screened-in porch, sundeck, shaded patio, fish cleaning station and unlimited views of the gulf coast. The southern-facing porch is everyone’s favorite place to have coffee (and afternoon cocktails) while enjoying watching the herons and dolphins. This home’s views and amenities are simply top notch!

Alabama Dreamin' can accommodate up to 13 guests. On the main level you will find a King bedroom with en-suite bath (separate jacuzzi tub and shower) and a bunk room with a twin/full bunk. There is also 1/2 bath on the main level. On the second level there is a King bedroom with en-suite bath (tub/shower combo) and a bunk room with a twin/full bunk (with additional twin trundle) with a private bath (tub/shower combo).

Surfside Shores and Fort Morgan

Surfside is located in the quaint beachside neighborhood of Surfside Shores. The quiet treelined streets are ideal for walking, jogging or biking and you'll really appreciate the lighter crowds on the dog friendly beaches.

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 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.

Overall, our trip was great. My family and I love the area, so we’ll definitely be back for our 6th trip soon.

Quick rundown on what I liked about the place.


- Beach front property is gorgeous weather it’s day or night.
- Nice deck with a great screened porch for outside dinners.
- Had plenty of beach items to use (toys, umbrellas, chairs, etc.). We did take our own, which we locked in the same beach storage with all the other items.
- Outdoor shower - I’ll always rent a place with this feature. It’s great.
- The master bedroom has a door that opens to the porch, so it’s great for late night wave sounds.
- Kitchen seemed to have all we needed.
- My kids loved the extra little small deck upstairs.
- Very clean and the couch was roomy was late night Halloween movies.

There is only one small con, which only bothered me a couple days.

- The house is right next to a beach access for all the house behind you.

During busy times of the year, I assume you can expect some close company on the beach. Just get out early to stake your place for the day... most people do not setup in front of the house.... We had a few folks pretty close for a few days. I’m normally accustomed to no access near the house, so it was a small change for me. If you’re a very social person or want kids around for your own little ones, the place will be great for you. If you want a little more privacy, the company that manages this home has others down the way. I stayed in one last year and loved it.

Again, not a deal breaker. I’d still recommend the property.

The unit was very nice and mostly clean and had a beautiful view of the beach. The screened in porch was perfect for avoiding bugs at dusk. The water is very close to the unit so its only a minute or two walk to get to the water. Kitchen had plenty of utensils for cooking, although many things were dirty and required a good wash before using them. Beds and couch were comfortable as well. The only downsides were that this unit is right next to the beach access for others further inland, so we were having to compete for space in front of the house. Food options nearby are scarce and requires a 20+ minute drive into town.

Manager's Response

We appreciate your feedback Devon. We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your visit and all Alabama Dreamin has to offer. We would have been more than happy to recommend some local restaurants, there are some good ones in tha area! Thanks for staying with us and we hope to welcome you back for a future stay.

Experience was very good but we wanted to give a heads up that the upstairs tub/shower drains were running very slow.

Manager's Response

Thanks for staying with us Jane! We appreciate your feedback. We will make sure those drains are cleared! We would have been happy to send someone out to take care of that for you. It's great to hear you enjoyed your visit and we hope to welcome you back for a future stay.

Beautiful beach front home with direct access. Great room under the house with everything you need for a great day at the beach!

Only downside to this location is that public beach access is both sides of home and no one enforces breaking down of beach setups at night. Even the Fort Morgan rental company setup 3 tents directly in front of the home.

Manager's Response

Thanks so much for taking the time to submit feedback on your recent stay and we are delighted to hear that you loved both the home and the location. We wish you had reached out. We might not have been successful but would have attempted to reach out to the tent company. Generally speaking, beach goers are very respectful and try not to infringe on others’ space but sadly it isn’t always the case. Thanks for staying with us and we’d welcome you back for a future stay.

Beautifully decorated house and very spacious. Only footsteps to the beach. Loved the screened in porch! The only negative would be the crowds on the beach the first part of the week.

Great location and a beautiful house. We had plenty of space inside and out. The outside shower was awesome to clean the sand and salt water off after a day on the beach. I think this is the 2nd time renting from Coastal View and had a great experience both times.

This was an amazing house that we had our family vacation on this year with both of our moms, uncle and kids. There were tons of seats and things to use in the downstairs storage and we also left a couple of umbrellas. The only thing I would suggest is maybe putting a sign up on that second Landing of the deck facing the beach designating that area as privately owned with the house rental. We would go down very early in the morning and set up all of our chairs to mark our spot otherwise people going down that walkway on the side would set up camp directly in front of the house. There was only one incident when a very large group of a family with a big tent went down and tried to set up just a couple of feet directly in front of our chairs and I went down and addressed it with him and they moved over although they work not very nice about it. I contacted the property management company prior to saying anything and they said they would be willing to go talk to them if we needed to. The property management company was always very responsive and wonderful. The afternoon of the last day we did have a new family we had not seen that parked in our driveway even though there were private property signs of and walked through our deck and use our walkway instead of the public one. We told them it was no big deal as we were leaving the next day but showed them where the public walkway was and they were very kind about it and appreciative. That wonderful deck and screened in porch area alone as well worth renting this property!

Manager's Response

Thanks for staying with us Amber. We appreciate your feedback. We have addressed the signage issue and believe it will help alleviate future issues with beach goers. We are thrilled to hear you had an amazing vacation and it sounds like the home was a perfect fit for your family! We hope you will be planning a return trip in the future!

We loved everything! The house was perfect for my family. We loved the perfect access to the beach. The travel back to Gulf Shores for dinner each night was not a problem. The kids played games. The chairs and beach toys were greatly appreciated. We had nothing but good things to say! We are already talking about coming back next year!! ♥️

Coastal View Vacations made the rental process, payments and communication an excellent experience. The local property manager, Dee Dee, was incredibly helpful, friendly, and prompt in answering any questions we had. Having a local property manager who lives in the community where our rental was located made the entire process so much easier. The rental house had everything you needed. It was organized, clean and very cozy but had plenty of room for our family of 6 to spread out.
We cannot recommend Coastal View Vacations enough. What a great experience! We will definitely use them again.

Property description was accurate and even surpassed our expectations. Property was clean and well maintained. The management company was excellent and very easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend this property. This was a trip of 5 high school senior girls and 3 moms. It was just right and the beach/access was just what we wanted. The location is quiet and about 20 min from shopping and restaurants. We hope to go back!

This was our best house rental yet in many years of vacationing oil Gulf Shores. The house is actually better than the pictures. Will definitely stay here again next year. Suggestion for improvement would be to wash the bed spreads, especially if dogs had stayed before.

This home was absolutely perfect for our stay. The bedroom configuration was perfect for two couples and two adult extended family members. The house was spotless clean, the kitchen was the best stocked kitchen we've stayed at in a long time. It has every detail for meal prep, serving, and cleaning up. Steps from the beach, the location could not have been any better. Easy to find when arriving, check in was flawless, and the house was perfect for relaxing, reading on the huge couch, or watching TV.

Manager's Response

Thanks Steven! We couldn't be happier to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and we hope to see you again soon.
