About this house rental
The Rookery is a quiet, low-density community located adjacent to the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. It is very popular with families due to the great amenities such as two pools, a covered gazebo, hot tub, tennis courts, a community grilling area with picnic tables, and nearby world class golf courses. The beach is just a short walk or drive from the beach house. It is very hard to find this combination of price, size, and amenities! You are far enough away from the hustle and bustle to appreciate the tranquility of the area, but still close enough to enjoy all the great attractions and restaurants that Gulf Shores has to offer!
Put up your feet and feel the breezes while you rock or swing on your private screened porch. Relax in your snug cottage professionally decorated in soothing neutral colors with comfy beds, sofas, and chairs and old-fashioned pine floors. Enjoy your favorite movies or cable television in the family room and both queen sized bedrooms. TV with DVD player, and free WIFI is also available in the kids room where you will find two twin beds. The Rookery is .4 miles from the beautiful white sand beaches of the Fort Morgan peninsula.
The wildlife refuge offers several easy trails through saw grass marsh and slash pine forest where you can encounter 500 different animal and bird species. Fort Morgan Peninsula is in the bird and butterfly migration route. In early spring and late fall, the whole peninsula is alive with birds and butterflies including Monarchs and Gulf Fritillaries. In addition to the usual gulls and sand pipers, you may find kestrel, anhinga, osprey, great blue heron, and several different species of hawks, including sharp-shinned and Cooper's. Bring your camera so you can take your own little bit of paradise home with you. Historic Fort Morgan is only 4.5 miles from the cottage. You can catch the ferry that will take you across the bay to Dauphin Island where you will find more walking trails and the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.

Great price, very clean, safe and family friendly. Only complaint is air conditioner wasn’t working properly. Couldn’t keep up.

The duplex was spacious and clean and felt like it had been updated recently. All the beds were comfortable and we enjoyed our time in the space.

The house was perfect! It was quiet, the neighbors were friendly, and the house was decorated so cute! Everyone we dealt with was super nice! Thank you!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2021
We just returned from a stay at this property. It was a place to land in the evening from the beach. The decorations are inviting; however, there are some basics that need upgrading. The mattresses and linens need replacing, especially the two mattresses on the 2 twin beds. You can actually feel the springs with your hand, and they were uncomfortable for my teenagers. Unfortunately the washing machine broke while we were there. The garbage disposal sounds like it is about to break, and the sink of the shared bathroom doesn't drain well. The place was not fully cleaned when we arrived. We were able to work around all of these things. Thankfully we had family staying in a nearby house and were able to use their washing machine. Also the wifi barely works, so we were only able to use it intermittently. The area we were in seemed to be more of a dead spot as it barely gets cell coverage as well. It is just something to be aware of with planning. It is about a 5 minute drive from the local beach. We enjoyed listening to the frogs "singing" in the evenings at the nearby pond.
