About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Luxury Beachfront Home, with Ramp; Sleeps up to 18!
If you are looking for a serene, luxury, beachfront home to enjoy some FUN in the SUN and R & R - look no further - Susan's Sand Castle II is the perfect place for just that and so much more!
Roll down your windows and smell the ocean as you enter our neighborhood and get ready to see the most amazing blue skies, white puffy clouds and the sugar-white sand of our Fort Morgan beaches!
When you pull into one of the three bays under the house - you'll immediately see "our beach" , with sawgrass growing on the inviting sand dunes. If you want to run (or wheel) up the outdoor ramp - so you can immediately experience the beach - have at it! That ramp will take you directly to our deck, with picnic table, Adirondack chairs and plenty of beach toys for the young and the young-at-heart!
We know it will be hard to take your eyes off the beach, the gulf and the sky - but while those that drew the short-straws unload the cars - the rest of you can walk on the Sand Dune Walkover (Boardwalk) directly to the beach. Feel free to take our deck chairs with you. Go dip your toes in the water or go all the way in. Skinny-dipping (or Chunky-Dunking) is prohibited - so please take a few minutes to get into your swim suits!
The Great Room at Susan's Sand Castle II is spacious - plenty of room for your family and friends to dine together or hang out, as the designated chefs whip up a meal in the fully-stocked kitchen.
There are two full size refrigerators (one is in the Utility Room); stove, microwave, dishwasher and ice-machine - that makes up to 35 pounds of ice a day. Every small kitchen appliance you could want is also supplied for your convenience. And the cabinets are stocked with everything you need to prepare and serve the food that you bring with you.
No need to fight over who gets the "Best Room" - because they are all "Best Rooms"!
Two King Master Suites, with spacious Bathrooms and whirlpool tubs await you and both have direct access to the beach-side deck. One Master Suite is conveniently located right off the Great Room; and the other Master Suite is upstairs.
Two additional King Bedrooms are also located upstairs and face the beach, with doors accessible to the balcony. One of these King Bedrooms has a private full bathroom and the other is semi-private.
Children are delighted when they see the Bunk Room we've created just for them. It sleeps up to 8 children, with full size mattresses on the top and bottom of two bunk beds.
A Queen-size sleeper sofa, located in the Great Room, allows for additional sleeping. A half-bath is located on the main level, around the corner from the Great Room, for the convenience of all.
Large flat-screen Smart TVs are located in every bedroom as well as the Great Room. Plenty of books and games are provided for after a day in the sun or on those rare rainy days.
Towels, wash cloths, beach towels, linens, pillows and comforters are provided for no additional fee. A stackable washer/dryer are provided in the Utility Room for your convenience.
Feel free to take our deck chairs with you to the beach each day. We just ask that you bring them back each evening, as nesting Sea Turtle Mommas can get tangled up or confused when they come ashore at night. May through August - we have a professionally installed and maintained 10' X 20' Beach Canopy for guests to enjoy while playing on the beach.
May through mid-August, Bookings must be Saturday to Saturday. Thanksgiving and Christmas Weeks have the same Saturday to Saturday Requirements. Other than that, there is a 4 night minimum, with flexibility for days of the week for Check-In.
The home was built in 2015 and was beautifully decorated by Susan herself!
This beach house is perfect for Family Reunions, Vacations with Family/Friends, Corporate Retreats, and more! There is a $1,500.00 surcharge for weddings/events.
Snowbirds are welcome to contact us about renting by the month.
We have two other beachfront luxury homes located in the Morgantown sub-division - three miles closer to Gulf Shores. Check out those VRBO listings at #435854 for Susan's Sand Castle I, which sleeps up to 16; and #1068738, which sleeps up to 30 AND has an indoor elevator.
If you're still reading this description - you must really love our beach house - so send us a message to find out more details or go ahead and book your next beach vacation with us!
We have so many loyal returning guests for all three of our beach houses that our Reservation Calendar fills up quickly for peak times and they often reserve "their week" years in advance , but we love to make new friends and welcome your inquiry. We do our best to respond in under an hour, but because we don't recharge on coffee alone - we do try to sleep at some point, therefore will respond to late night inquiries first thing the next morning.
We are currently accepting reservations through the end of 2021. Rates not yet set for 2022.

We loved every second of our stay! The home is beautiful and the view is breathtaking. The kitchen had more gadgets than I knew how to use. Our favorite hang-out spot was the oversized, private boardwalk with 4, brand new loungers. Details matter and you can tell Susan definitely care about the details. The ramps were extremely helpful, as we are a multi-generational family. In short, do not hesitate to book this property. You will never want to leave.

Sublime
The house was, in every sense of the word, perfect.
Well appointed, and well prepared we wanted for nothing. The kitchen had every imaginable tool and appliance you might need and was well stocked with basic herbs and spices.
The beds were comfortable and all but one room was facing the beach.
We will definitely be back

You can tell the owners have been at this for a while. They have thought of everything in terms of amenities…attention and anticipation of needs is on full display. The beachfront house is just steps from the water. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot.

Loved almost everything about this house. Only negative would be there are not enough chairs on the deck and they should be taller so you can enjoy the view of the beach without peering through slats. Also the mirror in the upstairs master needs to be bigger, my wife is 5’4” and could not see anything but her eyes!
Enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Beautiful home
We had everything we needed and I loved how everything was labeled so it made it easier to find things. Having the ice maker and extra fridge was perfect to having enough room to keeping all the drinks cold. The only thing I would recommend which is a personal preference would be to have high top chairs so you could see the beach better from the lower deck and a new grill ! We loved the tent that was set up on the beach and the ice cream truck that came by almost everyday. We would definitely love to visit again.

Beautiful Home!!
This beach home was everything we expected and more!! Everything was very clean and kept up nicely! The beds were all extremely comfortable too! There were 8 adults in our group and plenty of space for more! The boardwalk to the beach made it so easy to get our fishing equipment and beach chairs to and from the beach every day. Janie quickly responded to a few questions we had and was very helpful and knowledgeable about this property. Thank you Susan and Jerry for sharing this wonderful home with us! It was truly a little piece of Heaven!!

Property is in a quiet, peaceful area. Beautiful views of sunrise and sunsets. The house is very roomy, very well stocked, even had plenty of beach toys for kids. We had a sweet note with a few goodies when we arrived, a special touch which shows the property owners care about those who stay in their property. We had a little issue with ac on lower level but someone was sent out within an hour and it was fixed promptly. I would not hesitate to book again.

Beautiful home, very accessible
We came to SSC2 with my parents, grandmother, adult brother, and our three children. The ramps to get inside were perfect for my grandmother and my parents who have some issues climbing stairs. The home was beautiful and just what we expected from the online listing. The semi-permanent tents that are set up for the summer months were perfect. It saved me a ton of time and effort in setting up our tent each day. The chairs on the back deck were so comfortable. The kitchen was really stocked. I had to call the property manager for help with one thing and they were there to fix it within the hour and even brought a new coffee pot because they knew the other large coffee pot needed to be replaced. The ramp to the beach was great, but the end was covered with sand and some sea grass so it was a bit difficult to navigate the very end, but overall having the ramp there was perfect as it allowed all our party to go to the beach easier.
We will be back each year! Thank you so much!

Susan's Sandcastle II
The beach house was spacious and very clean. Dining table allowed our large group of 13 to eat meals together Easy access to the beach. Views from the decks were awesome, and there was plenty of deck seating for all guests. Permanent awning on the beach offered a reprieve from the hot sun and rain. A few minor issues were immediately resolved by the property manager, Janie, and her husband. Communication with Janie prior to our arrival and while we were at the beach house was easy and we received timely responses to all questions and concerns. If we return with our large group for another Gulf Shores stay in the future, we would definitely stay in Susan's Sandcastle II again! Highly recommend!
