About this house rental
"Keys to the Beach" is a beautifully decorated, comfortable 3/2 raised beach house with a fully loaded kitchen, 5 TV's, cable, internet in the wonderful 39 home beach community of Heritage Shores with 2 pools, tennis and basketball...all in a 3 minute walk to beach access to the pristine and pet friendly Ft. Morgan beach and a view of the bay from the back deck. You'll notice our extra attention to details in everything from quality linens, generous check in supplies, covered downstairs lounge area, beach supplies, abundance of kitchen utensils, paper towels, napkins and condiments and lots of personal contact from your host to provide you with everything you need to know or want to ask about the area. This is "island life" away from high rises and high density areas but with several close restaurants, convenience store shopping and still 20-25 minutes from the mainstream Gulf Shores area...perfect combination of relaxation and convenience. The master has a king bed and on suite bathroom. Other bedrooms have a king and two double beds, sharing the hall bath. All bedrooms have louvered blinds and drapes to keep out light for sleeping late! The dining room table seats 8 with room for another 3 more at the large kitchen island. Large 52" living room TV with a 42" in each bedroom. Roku TV downstairs in furnished bonus area. West facing back deck is perfect for viewing remarkable sunsets. Fort Morgan also is a favorite place for fishermen. At the end of the street in front is the glorious Gulf of Mexico with beach access slightly to the East, a very short walk even for kids! It's a great family resort area that makes people come back year after year! We fell in love with it there because it really does feel "special" to not be sardined into a high rise, wait for elevators but have a full and expansive view of the beach and the sky without interruption instead. Under the house is another seating area we call the "Mermaid Lounge", furnished and decorated, which is great for conversation while using the grill, playing corn hole or electronic darts for some good family time. There is also ping pong and air hockey as well as Roku TV. We have had nothing but compliments on the house and locations. See our Facebook page for pictures and events in the area, and a couple of reviews from 2019 are also copied below. Our 5 star VRBO reviews speak for themselves! We work to provide you with the best and most personal feeling atmosphere for your vacation as compared to sterile and generic rental machine condos. We use our own house and know what needs to be done to keep it top notch and be on top of maintenance! I will personally be in contact with each of my guests before your arrival and available to you during your stay, and I require personal communication between us before your check in to give a you few specific instructions about the house. "We had a wonderful time! There were a lot of little and big touches that made it so comfortable to stay (kid level hooks, comfortable beds, generously sized TV's with popular channels). The location is perfect with easy beach access and wonderful views. It was nice and quiet sitting out back or we could sit out front and watch the kids play basketball .The outdoor shower area was great for rinsing off and the seating downstairs was a great place to dry off after a walk on the beach! The decor was beautiful and really made us feel like a welcome guest in a home vs a sterile hotel room." Michelle from Tennessee

We enjoyed a wonderful 4 night getaway at Fort Morgan. The property was just as described, very comfortable and filled with everything needed for a perfect trip. The location was ideal, just a short walk to the beach. I only gave 3 stars on cleanliness, because there were some areas that could have used a more thorough cleaning (dead bugs in the window sill, pieces of dirt on the floor). It was nothing I was unable or unwilling to take care of quickly. We will be staying at this property in the future. Thank you for being so accommodating.

Beautiful home! The Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Quiet neighborhood. We will be back!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
The pictures really didn’t do it justice. This was a super cute beach house! Having a fully stocked kitchen and laundry made our family vacation so much more manageable than being stuck in a hotel. We were able to cook all of our meals so we saved a ton of money because the restaurants and stores are very expensive. Having the downstairs gaming and entertainment areas were perfect for grilling steaks, listening to music and hanging out. We chose to go the weekend after Memorial Day weekend and the neighborhood was very quiet. The 2 pools are right across the street next to the courts. Maybe we just walk super slow but the public beach access is a bit further than 3 minutes, especially when you are carrying a lot of stuff. On that note, I would recommend only bringing bare minimum to the beach! This was our first time on an Alabama beach and that sand is something else! Talk about a workout, Lol. Our family had a wonderful and relaxing time.
