About
Highlights
Serenity on the Shore was built and designed with family vacations in mind! Located in Surfside Shores, this 3168 square foot home is literally just steps from the water. Imagine the convenience of walking just a few steps for a snack, lunch or beverage refreshment. No loading up the car and searching for a parking spot! Surfside Shores is a tranquil community located on the Fort Morgan peninsula. So, you'll enjoy the quiet beaches in this quaint neighborhood but still be just a short and scenic 15-20 car ride into town.
The Space
The first thing you'll notice in this home is the soaring two-story living room! This light, bright comfortable room is the perfect spot for TV watching, game playing or just gazing at that amazing view.
The first floor features a master bedroom with en suite bath. The bath contains a double vanity, private water closet, jetted soaking tub and separate shower. Of course, no master bedroom in a beach front house is complete without a balcony access. The owners have recently added a writing desk for catching up on emails, journaling or working remotely.
Also located on the first level is a queen bedroom with a shared hall bath. There is a stack-able, bonus washer/dryer conveniently located in this space.
Mealtimes are such an important part of vacation and you'll be so pleased to find a dining table that seats 10, an additional table (that doubles as a game table) that seats 4 and 3 counter stools. Ample seating means there is room for all! The large kitchen is well equipped for those nights when you choose to dine in. You'll find a convenient prep sink as well as a wet bar complete with a stand-alone ice maker.
Head upstairs and you'll find a second living area that doubles as a media room equipped with a 100” retractable projection screen, 5.1 surround sound, and a Blu-ray player. Take a break from the action and step out onto the third-floor balcony to experience those amazing Alabama sunsets. Need to refresh your beverage? There is a wet bar with mini fridge, so no need to head downstairs.
There is a second primary bedroom upstairs with King bed and private bath. This bath includes a water closet, jetted soaking tub and separate shower. And of course, balcony access! For added convenience, a desk has been added to this room as well. A Queen bedroom shares a Jack and Jill bath with the two Twin over Full bunk room. The vanity is separated from the tub for added convenience.
There is a half bath located off the media room as well as a full-sized washer and dryer and laundry tub.
* Renter must be at least 25 years of age. Guests under 25 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
Surfside Shores and Fort Morgan
Surfside is located in the quaint beachside neighborhood of Surfside. 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 (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.

House was perfect for our vacation. We had 9 people and plenty of space. No complaints or issues whatsoever. The house was clean, well equipped and in great shape. The beach access was the best in Fort Morgan we have seen, and Dee Dee was on point making sure we had everything we needed. The only thing I saw wrong was the main bedroom doors to access the balcony were inoperable but wasn’t a concern of ours.
Manager's Response
We appreciate your kind words and feedback Zac. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your visit! New doors have been ordered for the main bedroom! Thanks for staying with us and we hope you will be planning a return trip in the future!

We had a great trip to Serenity on the Shore in Fort Morgan. We were traveling with two families and 5 kids. The house was clean and well appointed. The proximity to the beach was ideal - kids could play in the sand while parents had coffee on the porch; or if we were all at the beach, the kids could go get snacks/use the restroom/get toys solo. We ventured into Gulf Shores for gocarts and mini golf one day; and otherwise enjoyed the great views and beach access. We mostly ate at the house (groceries are an easy 25 minute drive to Gulf Shores); and did take out from Jesse's on the bay for our last evening. Kids all gave it 5 stars for shell collecting, too!

After starting our vacation with a house that the air was out in, your company went above and beyond to help us find another location and got us in at the last minute Saturday night! The house was magnificent with the best view and literal steps away from the ocean. We could not have asked for anything better and hope to be back next year!

Yikes! So happy that it all worked out. No air conditioning in August is not an option. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay and would be delighted to welcome you back in the future.

Great week at Serenity on the Shore! Rooms were spacious with plenty of bathrooms. Living and kitchen areas are large and great for entertaining family/friends. Two dishwashers were nice, too. Media room with large screen upstairs was a nice bonus. Washer and dryer on both levels was great. Great balcony areas, too. The house is right on the beach, so it's a short walk over your private walkway. The outside shower wasn't working properly, but we used the hose. Dee Dee was our house manager and she was great and handled a few little things for us! Overall, we were very pleased with this beach house!

My wife and I have been coming to Fort Morgan for the past 12 years and this was our "BEST" experience. We always stay at least 5 weeks and this property is everything that we had hoped for. A clean, solid home with plenty of room to entertain. We needed very little customer service but Jen and Dee Dee were always just a text/phone call way when we needed help. I would highly recommend that the owner place a larger TV in the great room and connect the existing surround sound system to it. Although there is a wonderful Media room (for a Movie Night) we didn't find it was always convenient to watch our favorite programs there. All-in-all a wonderful property, great location and we have already placed our deposit for next year. That should tell you everything you need to know about Serenity on the Shore.

The house really fit our needs for a beach getaway with family. Perfect location, right on the beach, plenty of space from other beach lovers, lots of gathering room, two sinks and dishwashers was a plus, and plenty of sleeping spaces. One of the best things is that they had a local person looking after the house that came by when we needed assistance with any issues. However, there were a few drawbacks, but none would be a deal breaker in returning. The ice maker was out of service which lead us to have to get ice for drinks during meals. A house that sleeps as many as it does should have a second refrigerator for food to feed that many. We had to wash dishes after every meal in order to have silverware for the next sit down meal.
Manager's Response
Michael, thanks for the kind words and the great feedback! We've reached out to the property manager to look into replenishing the flatware. The owners have provided a few beverage fridges to supplement the kitchen refrigerator. Unfortunately, there really isn't space for an additional full-sized fridge but we certainly do appreciate that they are convenient! We hope you'll plan a return trip soon.

This house worked well for our family of 12 including grandparents and their two families with 3 kids each. It's not fancy (and with young children we do not need fragile furniture, etc!) but was functional. Those who continued to work away from the office, enjoyed being able to look out over the beach as they worked. For one of the rain days, the movie room was a great help! Having a small enclosed area under the house to park bikes was nice. We would have appreciated a second fridge as we bring food for a week, but the two smaller ones helped out. We had a few small issues, and the management was responsive. We would recommend. (We bring plenty of supplies like kitchen soaps and scrubbers, TP, paper towels, garbage bags, etc, so we had no issues with small things like that.)

We had such a great time staying at this house for our week of celebrating with family for my husband and my retirement. It is a wonderful house right on the beach. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom so we all had our own spaces. The kitchen is wonderful and very well stocked. The property manager (Dee Dee) was very nice and super responsive but the house is so well maintained there were just a couple minor issues. We relaxed on the decks and the beach, enjoyed the wonderful views and prepared great meals in the kitchen. We didn't want to leave! Thank you!

We stayed at this property for 5 nights during our children's school spring break. We were a group of 3 families with 7 children ranging in age 6mo to 12yo. This house was absolutely perfect for us: plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable, lots of seating area in the living room and kitchen. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals (2 dishwashers!). Loved watching the waves from the back porch while having my morning coffee. The upstairs movie area was fantastic for the kids to play in and watch tv/movies on the projector screen. The bedrooms were comfortable too.
There was plenty of parking for our 3 cars. The tiny walk to the beach was perfect for our littles; just a few steps and you are on the beach.
The location is a bit secluded from the main Gulf Shores center (about 15min drive), but that's what we were looking for. Even though it was spring break and there were lots of college students around, we had plenty of space on the beach and didn't feel crowded at all. We loved Tacky Jacks and River Fish Grill for meals.
Overall we loved our stay and will definitely be back!

This house was perfect for our family of 14. Everything you need is there. The kitchen was stocked with every item you’d ever use. Each bedroom had extra plugs and USB outlets. We never wished for something we needed but forgot to bring. And being a few steps to the water, was a cherry on top. Jen and DeeDee were so helpful with every detail.
