Walk to the Beach Darling Cottage w/ Screened Porch, AC & Shared Pool/Hot Tub

The Rookery 3002

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.

Things to know:

Snowbird-friendly - November 1st to March 1st.

Stay # 3002
We had a wonderful time at this property. It was beautiful and very well maintained. If there was anything that we found difficult was the address. GPS took us there, but if there was some kind of street light for the Rookery address, that would be very helpful for those of us that arrived in the dark. Other than that I can't say one bad thing about our stay. Will tell friends and hopefully we will be returning for another great time at the Rookery. DT

Super Comfortable
The first thing that comes to mind while staying here is the comfort you feel. From the layout to the decor to the furnishings it was very relaxing and enjoyable. It has a bright and beachy feel. While the unit is not adjacent to the beach it is definitely close enough and just a short drive to Fort Morgan area gives you less populated beaches. We did have issues with internet connectivity (no wifi so could only use cell service which was only one bar most of the time). Therefore no streaming capability for Netflix, etc. While slightly inconvenient this certainly didn't diminish the time there and should be back online for the next visitor. Overall a great stay.

Enjoy the stay.
This is a great place to stay, we had the most fun. The beaches close by, friends and family spending time together, although could of used more seating at the table and living room. We would do this again. Great location.
