About this house rental
The Highlights
Sunshine on my Shoulders is a custom 4 bedroom, 4 bath beach home decorated with coastal elegance. The oversized kitchen and living areas were designed to accommodate a large group in comfort and other custom features include granite counters and tile surrounds throughout. Relax in a rocking chair or dine at the table on the back porch enjoying the sounds of the gulf. This home is designated for families. Pro-Tip: One of the two neighborhood pools in on the way to the beach so plan to stop for a dip!
The Space
Guests really appreciate the modern furnishings and touches. Solid surface flooring throughout and soft neutral colors provide the perfect retreat for a restful beach vacation. Three King bedrooms with private baths are furnished with memory foam mattresses. The bunk room provides sleeping for 7, with a trundle available, and a private bath. Triple twin bunks and double full bunks all also have memory foam mattresses.
* Renter must be at least 25 years of age. Guests under 25 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
*. For you added safety there are cameras located under the house near the entrance door.
Fort Morgan and Morgantown
Morgantown is a lovely, unique seaside community featuring two swimming pools, a kiddie pool, two lighted tennis/pickleball courts and several beach access boardwalks. When you first arrive, you'll notice pride of ownership in this pastel colored, beautifully landscape neighborhood. Guests really enjoy walking and biking along the quiet streets and many rent golf carts and enjoy sunset drives. If you have small children or just prefer the convenience of parking close to the beach, there is a public lot just to the west of Morgantown.
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.
Main floor: (King) w/ bath & balcony access -- (King) w/ bath -- (King) w/ bath -- (Full/Full) & (Twin/Twin/Twin) bunk room w/ bath -- (Sleep Sofa). (Bunkbeds recommeded for children and have weight restrictions per manufacturer. 100 lb per twin/120 lb per double).

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed our stay at Sunshine On My Shoulders! The location is great, with just a short walk to the pool and to the beach. We loved the layout of this house, and the spacious common areas were great for everyone to spend time together. The oven is new, and we had everything we needed to cook meals at the house. One thing we didn’t realize beforehand is that the thermostat has to stay at 72 degrees to keep the unit from freezing up. Many in our family are hot sleepers, so we will bring fans if we stay here again. Overall we had a great stay!

Sunshine on my Shoulders is an adorable beach house. Very spacious and love that each bedroom has its own bathroom. Upon arriving, the floors were dirty, to the point that my son’s feet were (grossly) dirty after being there an hour (he’s a toddler and took his shoes off as soon as we got there). I notified the property manager when she checked in with us about that and some stains on the bedding, which she was very nice about and offered to have the cleaning lady come back for, but once our group was in and unloaded, we didn’t really want to deal with someone being there to clean. The kitchen is well stocked with all the pots/pans needed to cook. Lots of games and books available on the bookshelf which was nice. The A/C was set to 72 and would not go below 70. As a family that keeps our A/C at home set to 67-68 year round, we were hot most of the week and this information would be nice to know ahead of time (in the listing perhaps?) as we’ve never encountered that before while staying at the beach. The walls and baseboards could really use a deep cleaning, as there are visible stains. Obviously that didn’t effect our stay, but it’s just something I noticed during our time there. Again, loved how spacious the house is. We appreciated that there was plenty of dining seating available between the bar stools, kitchen table and bar table. However, seating in the actual living room is a bit limited if everyone in your group is all in there together. Our group had 9 people and a couple people ended up sitting at the kitchen table while we were all hanging out in the living room. Cute house, good location to the pool and beach. & loved having the outdoor shower downstairs!
