About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Spacious private home , private pool, dogs allowed, near boat dock, restaurants

Big Blue is a spacious private home tucked away in Surfside Shores, a private beach neighborhood with trees, vegitation and sand dunes. A 5 to 10 min walk to beach access, but close enough to the shore to hear the ocean when out on either of the two large decks at the back of the house.

We are just a hop down the road to Tacky Jacks and Sassy Bass restaurants in Ft Morgan and the new Jessie's by the Bay in Gulf Shores. If you would like some exercise, take a walk directly down our beach to the Sassy Bass Island Grill at the Plantations right near the water.


Home Layout:

The first floor has a master bedroom in the front of the house and the washer dryer. The back of the house faces the gulf, and the pool. Both bedrooms in the back of the house have french door access to the large back deck. The back bedrooms are connected by a large Jack and Jill bathroom with a rainfall shower.

The second floor has a wide open floorplan with the kitchen and living room sharing the same space. In the front of the house, the second master bedroom has a large closet space. The kitchen has french door access to the large top deck for outdoor dining.

We have stocked the kitchen well with a ninja blender, toaster, a drip coffee maker, modern fridge with ice maker. Pots, pans and cooking utensils and plenty of plates and utensils.

The staircase to the crows nest is on the second floor and our young guest love this unique space with the twin bed, small foldout foam couch and writing desks. We also have guests use this area as a remote working space or creative writing space.

We use Skylink high speed satellite internet for any remote work needs.

Each bedroom and the living room have smart tv’s for streaming video, live tv or gaming.

We are just a short drive to the Ft Morgan ferry doc for day trips to Dauphin Island and Pirates Cove.

Our local area also includes:
The Wharf, Tanger Outlet shopping
Gulf State Park Fishing Pier
Gulf Shores State Park Biking Trails
Fort Morgan fort
Golf Courses
Waterville USA Waterpark, Roller Coasters and Entertainment village
Several Mini Golf, Go Kart and Arcades
Deep Sea Fishing tours, boat rental, dolphin tours.

This home is rented directly by the owners. We are house proud and hope you have a wonderful visit to our home and area.

Great stay for annual couples trip

We had an awesome time at the beach with friends staying here! So much space on all floors and great location to the beach with just a little bit of a neighborhood walk to get to the access point. Really enjoyed how private the beach was and quiet the neighborhood was as well. Highly recommend and would love to stay again!

Nice House, Great Vacation

The house was very clean, beds and bedding were comfortable. Kitchen was nicely stocked with cookware and utensils. The location was perfect. We loved the quiet neighborhood and private beach. We all had a blast in the pool. You should definitely rent the golf cart. While it is technically within walking distance, the golf cart is very handy when hot, sweaty and tired after a day at the beach lugging all your bags. We would stay here again!

The home was beautiful; kitchen well equipped for cooking meals; bedrooms and beds were comfortable; everything was clean; and the family areas of the home provided spaces for connecting with one another (pool area was great & living room had games).
