The master king bedroom is on the main level of the home, along with the laundry room, living room, dining room, kitchen, and access to the back deck. No stairs are required to enter the home, making it easily accessible for all. One set of interior stairs leads to the two upstairs bedrooms, housing a queen bed and three sets of twin bunk beds; the bedrooms are connected by a Jack-and-Jill three-piece bath. The back deck leads to a huge fenced-in yard, which is perfect for active pups.

The kitchen is fully stocked with more than the basics; pots and pans, a drip coffee pot, a K-cup coffee maker, a tea kettle, and ample utensils. If we have not stocked an item that is needed, please let us know. Please note that the home will occasionally have coffee, sugar, creamers, salt, pepper, and olive oil. However, we do not stock these items. Guests can snag these items from Sassy Bass Market, which is within two miles of the house.

There is a full-size washer and dryer for guests to use in the laundry room. Although we offer a starter pack of laundry detergent, guests should always supply their own detergent for extended stays. The interior stairs are located on the south side of the dining room. These stairs lead to a hallway with access to two bedrooms and a full bath. This spacious Jack-n-Jill bath has double sinks and a large shower/tub combo. It is shared between the queen guest bedroom and the bunk guest bedroom.

Our beaches are quiet and not publicly accessible. Although downtown Gulf Shores is 20 minutes away, there are plenty of places to eat and have fun on our side of the island. We have a detailed list of bars, restaurants, and grocery stores in our digital guidebook. Guests have access to the entire home except for a locked closet in the kitchen.

Welcome to the Emerald Coast of Alabama. Beats Working Vacation Rentals has homes across the entire island, from the western end of the Fort Morgan peninsula all the way to Orange Beach in the east. Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, two of Alabama’s premier beach towns, are separated by the 10 miles of lush greenery and undeveloped coastline that comprise Gulf State Park. Gulf Shores stretches westbound towards the Fort Morgan peninsula, where guests can travel to Dauphin Island via the Mobile Bay Ferry. Orange Beach, located east of Gulf Shores at the western end of Perdido Pass, features not only sugar-white sand beaches, but also a group of small islets known locally as the Orange Beach Islands. These islands are popular spots for boating, beaching, and bird-watching. Any of our guests can receive a discounted rate on a guided sailboat tour of the Islands. Please reach out to us for more information. In the meantime, guests can get a glimpse of the area from the comfort of home with our birds’ eye drone tour, located on our website. The Gulf Coast of Alabama is a sunny and picturesque beach sanctuary. This desirable area has charming architecture, as well as amazing views of our Emerald Coast, Mobile Bay, Bon Secour Bay, Little Lagoon, and the coastal waterways of the Ole River. Guests find themselves in paradise with our beach vacation homes and cottages. Our Fort Morgan properties are located primarily in the Surfside Shores neighborhood on the southwestern side of the peninsula, just minutes from two of the nation’s top-rated golf courses—The Peninsula and Kiva Dunes. In addition to the Surfside Shores neighborhood, we have homes on the Bon Secour Bay of the Fort Morgan peninsula, homes in the Waterway Village of downtown Gulf Shores, in the West Beach area of Gulf Shores, in Orange Beach, and in Foley, lovingly deemed by the locals as “Gulf Shores North.” Guests can walk to the beach using their feet. Golf cart rentals are also available. This contact information is sent upon reserving the home. Uber services our area. We are happy to recommend a local driver if guests prefer to book with someone directly. Beach Information: - Swimming in the Gulf of Mexico is much different than swimming in a pool. It is important to respect the strength of the water and to protect the marine life that lives in our area. Guests can check the surf conditions before heading to the beach. Riptides are a serious concern for the Fort Morgan Peninsula. To ensure guest safety, please pay attention to water conditions. Always check the tide and weather conditions before getting into the Gulf of Mexico. To receive a daily text with surf conditions and beach flag information, text ALBEACHES to 888-777. - Beats Working Vacation Rentals has homes near numerous nature preserves. Wildlife is in the area and the locals strive to protect the wildlife. When walking around the neighborhood, guests should be mindful of where they step. Guests could potentially see snakes, rabbits, coyotes, alligators, turtles, sharks, sting rays, jellyfish, and other creatures. Do not disturb the wildlife. Luckily, most of these guys do not like to socialize. - Do not leave beach equipment on the beach overnight. Our beaches are home to endangered sea turtles during nesting season. Beach gear is a serious hindrance to their nesting success. - On that same note, it is highly important to respect the sea turtles, especially during nesting season, which runs May through October. It is a Federal offense to disturb a sea turtle or its nest. In an effort to help this endangered species, despite what others do, do not leave beach equipment on the beach overnight and do not leave on bright floodlights. The floodlights disorient the baby sea turtles, which results in a very sad ending to their lives. If the Fish and Wildlife department can pinpoint a home's floodlight to a disturbed nest, they will charge the guests with a Federal offense. Help us care for our endangered species. - A special note for guests staying on the Fort Morgan Peninsula: If guests wish to recycle, they have to take their items to the firehouse by Sassy Bass Market. The recycling facility accepts aluminum, cardboard, and plastic – no glass. Beach Equipment: - Beats Working Vacation Rentals does not offer beach chairs, umbrellas, tents, or other beach gear at any of our beach homes. We do, however, supply beach towels, and we also provide contact information for our favorite beach equipment rental companies. These companies can supply you with all of your beach fun needs, including tents, chairs, umbrellas, and more. Please refer to your check-in message for more details. Pets: - Dogs welcome upon approval. We do not host other animals, including but not limited to, cats, pigs, rabbits, and reptiles. We have breed and weight restrictions. - Guests must provide proof of current flea and tick preventative at the time of booking. If the check-in date is more than one month beyond the booking date, then proof must be submitted again the month of check-in. - Pet fees are paid directly to Beats Working Vacation Rentals via Airbnb. Once a dog has been approved, an alteration with the additional fee will be sent for guests to accept. The pet fee can range between $75 - $300, depending upon the breed and size of your dog. - Additional charges may be incurred for remediation of pet(s) related issues, including excessive hair, strong smells, urine/feces, fleas, etc. - We understand that guests are not required to notify us if traveling with a service dog. However, to prevent confusion, we would greatly appreciate a heads up. If you are traveling with a service animal, you must show active proof of flea and tick prevention. Our goal in this request is to aid in facilitating a seamless travel experience for our guests via clear communication and honesty. Thank you in advance.
