About this property

Short Walk to Beach with A Bay View in Heritage Shores, 3/2

  • "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."

    "absolutely loved everything about it. I don’t think there’s anything I could suggest to do different. It was clean and inviting right away. We were very comfortable and will definitely rent from you again in the future!!"
