About this house rental

The Rookery 3002

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Charming, cheerful, and bright, this darling cottage at The Rookery is an easy walk - or an even quicker drive - from the incredible white sand beach that Gulf Shores and the Fort Morgan Peninsula are known for.

As you come home from days spent swimming, sunbathing, and collecting sea shells, you'll be greeted by a screened-in porch where you can kick back in an Adirondack chair with a cool drink in the balmy breeze. Inside, you'll find an open, air-conditioned living space that brings together the kitchen, the six-person dining room table, and the living room with its flatscreen TV (one of three in the house, with TVs in the main bedroom and the daybed room as well). There's a private washer/dryer where you can leave the day's swimsuits to spin - or grab a fresh one on your way over to the community's outdoor pool and hot tub.

What's nearby:
This cottage is part of The Rookery, a community that sits just north of Fort Morgan Road on the incredibly scenic Fort Morgan Peninsula. The grounds are home to an outdoor swimming pool, a hot tub, a tennis court, and a picnic area with charcoal grills, with a beach access point three-quarters of a mile south on Pizarro Avenue (with public parking available). The Fort Morgan State Historic Site is at the tip of the peninsula only six miles west, while the heart of Gulf Shores - home to a wide assortment of fun eateries and attractions - 15 miles east.

The house was pleasant and well-stocked. The neighborhood was friendly and quiet. We did need to ask for sheets for the trundle and sofabed and they were delivered promptly. We didn't cook a lot, but the kitchen was well-stocked. The dishwasher was a nice convenience. The pool was a favorite of the toddler. The beach was a 10 min walk or a short drive (if parking was available). Overall, we enjoyed our stay here.

We loved our time at the Rookery. The cottage was adorable, clean, and had everything we needed for a stress free vacation! It was close to the pool which was convenient for our kiddos. Proximity to the beach was fantastic. Highly recommend!
