About

Welcome to Journey's End!

This private home is located directly on the Bay so you'll savor incredible views, day and night. The community Bay to Breakers has a swimming pool and deeded beach access so the most difficult decision you'll make is what fun activity to do first.

When you reach Journey’s End, your journey may be over, but your vacation is just beginning! This gorgeous, 4 bedroom 3-level home with an observatory, is ideally situated on Mobile Bay, but is also less than a 5-minute walk to the Gulf of Mexico. And, as part of Bay to Breakers, this home offers access to a community pool. There is even a public pier, adjacent to the property, for fishing. There is also a marina; with docking privileges, restaurant and dolphin tours; is just a quarter of a mile away. There is so much to do, so close to home, you may not want to leave. But if you choose to venture out, the historic Ft Morgan is just a mile and half down the road, as is the ferry to Dauphin Island. And the city of Gulf Shores is a leisurely and scenic 25-minute drive away.

The Space

This home has new flooring, drywall, interior and exterior paint, windows, siding and furnishings as of 2021, as well as a new 65" flat screen TV and Blu-ray player in the living room. The second-floor landing, complete with a daybed and trundle, has a 40" flat screen TV with a Roku. The owners have also supplied a large collection of games, cards, puzzles, coloring books, crayons, and colored pencils in case you need a few additional activities.

The home features a desirable en-suite bedroom configuration, meaning each bedroom has its own bathroom. This makes it ideal for a multiple family vacation, offering just right amount of privacy. Three of the four bedrooms have TVs, while the first-floor main bedroom has a DVD player as well.

The main living area at Journey's End is open and inviting. The newly painted kitchen has everything you'll need to prepare meals which can be enjoyed in the dining area or out on the expansive screened-in porch. Recent additions to the kitchen include a new refrigerator and dishwasher. Additional kitchen amenities include a spice collection, blender, milkshake maker and hand mixer. And the porch is always a favorite with guests. It's the perfect place for a quiet read or a festive cocktail with your friends and family while enjoying the gorgeous, serene views. And, as a special treat, the top floor Observatory has built in benches with a 360-degree panoramic view of Fort Morgan. Enjoy a cocktail while watching the spectacular sunsets, use the telescope to spot marine life, work on a puzzle on a rainy day or just enjoy the solitude with a good book. The owners have spared no expense in making their home a warm, comfortable destination at your Journey's End.

For the safety and security of guests, there are exterior cameras at this property.

This is our third year our family has stayed at Journeys End on the bay. As before cannot beat the location. It is secluded and peaceful. We see more marine and wildlife here then you would staying on the beach.
Can’t beat the sunsets. House is super nice with lots of space. Would recommend to anyone.

Manager's Response

I could spend a lot of time writing about how beautiful this house is. I could go on about how fun it was to watch dolphins from the deck. I could say how everything was perfect from the bamboo to the beach grass. But gibberish this house has to be experienced. The peace that this house brought to my soul was incredible.

Manager's Response

Tracey, this has to be one of the best reviews we've ever gotten! We are absolutely delighted that Journey's End provided the ideal vacation destination. We would love to welcome you back soon.

My family and I really loved Journey's End.

Pros:

Private location where you could enjoy the bay with a coffee in the morning or wine at night. The screened in porch is quite nice and we made good use of it.

Its a fun house for kids as it has a 3rd floor observatory where you can be at the same height as all the pelicans and seagulls. It also came with a variety of board games, books and movies. My wife and I also enjoyed a morning coffee watching the sunrise in the observatory.

The house inside is clean and well maintained. It is also nicely decorated for that traditional beach feel.

Cons:

The property needs a good amount of "yardwork". There was plenty of overgrown vegetation coming down the driveway and all around the house. It limits the amount of useable space for walking around or having a play area for kids.

It was also a downside to not have the dock available. To my knowledge it was damaged by a hurricane nearly 2 years ago. It would have been so much more valuable to have that available for fishing off the dock or just sitting out there to watch the sunset.

Minor things could be improved such as neatly organizing pots, pans, utensils etc in the kitchen cabinets. Some of the kitchen drawers were also hard to open and close.

Overall its a fantastic house that was nicely decorated, private, fun for kids and enjoyable for parents.

Manager's Response

Thanks for the detailed feedback, Patrick and we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed both the home and the location. Yes, the dock was damaged, and the HOA has been working on the project. We will be sure to post any updates in the listing. We'll also take a look at the kitchen issues you mentioned. The third-floor observatory is our favorite spot!

I don’t even know where to begin!! This house is absolutely perfect in Every way!! It accommodated 20 of us (6 adults and 4 teenagers) perfectly! Plenty of space, comfortable beds, great couch and sitting area for several to comfortably sit and watch a movie. The screened in porch was one of the best features!! THE VIEWS!! All day long we had beautiful views of the bay. The house is secluded and quiet! Just want we wanted! We fished, kayaked and swan right beside of the house. The beach was easy to get to. A golf cart would be great to use but we just drove over and dropped off. The most relaxing vacation we have ever been on!! If all of the above is what you are looking for, Book it!! You will NOT be disappointed!!

Manager's Response

Allison, thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback on Journey's End. This is a unique home and truly does have something for everyone. Fishing, beach, pool, great views and a beautiful home make it an ideal beach vacation destination! We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back soon.

We had the perfect vacation! First time staying in Fort Morgan and we couldn’t have enjoyed it anymore more! The house was in the perfect location on the bay and secluded. We sat out on the screened in porch every morning enjoying our coffee and at night listening to the waves and frogs. The house was very clean and had all the amenities we needed for our family. We definitely will be back and hoping that the pier next to the house will be rebuilt soon we love to fish!! Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!

Manager's Response

Thanks William! "Perfect" is what we strive for and we are happy to hear that Journey's End delivered. Be sure and check back on the status of the fishing pier.

Journeys End was a perfect vacation spot for us. Our children and grandkids had a wonderful time. First time staying on the bay side and we would look at staying here again next year for our beach vacation. The house is beautiful and roomy inside. Big back screened in porch or sitting outside where you have a beautiful bay view and it’s wildlife to look at. Great Place!!!

This home is absolutely beautiful. The decor is spot on beach or coastal living. Everything in it from the couches to the beds is very nice and comfortable. It may no be directly on the beach but a two min drive and ten min walk will get you there. Same goes for the pool. There was plenty of cooking pans pots plates and utensils to cook just about anything you want. Screened in back porch was great in alabama don’t have to fight off flys or mosquitos alabamas state bird. The house sets on the bay and is actually very nice. There is a marina about a quarter of a mile west where you can get ice dinner and a few drinks. You can also charter a fishing trip. We will definitely be staying here again next year. Save your self some money and book directly from Coastal view vacation rentals. Very friendly and nice people to work with.
