About this property

Castaway II - less than 100 yards walking distance to the beach

  • Castaway II is a beautiful beach home located less than 100 yards from the prettiest, and perhaps least crowed, beach anywhere! The home's 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, along with full size, complete kitchen, eating bar, spacious dining area, den, and laundry room offer generous room for your stay. The home features tile flooring (except bedrooms), is fully furnished, with a fully furnished kitchen, featuring all needed small appliances, dishwasher, microwave, and stove; -everything you will need for a quiet and restful vacation in our 'no condo' single family residential community. All bed linens and towels are furnished at no extra charge. A washer and dryer are in the home for your use; TVs in the family room and master bedroom with satellite for your enjoyment, along with DVD and vcr players.

    The master bedroom has a king size bed; another bedroom has twin beds; and, the remaining two bedrooms each have queen size beds.

    The front deck faces east- perfect for enjoying a Gulf coast sunrise, and is shaded in the afternoon for enjoying the view of the Gulf and the constant Gulf breezes. This house is located approximately 300 feet (length of a football field) from the Gulf- the street (Bernard Court East) dead-ends on the beach for direct beach access- there is no cutting through other folks property, or walking great distances to gain beach access.

    There is an extra refrigerator under the house for your use. The area under the house is concrete which provides a parking area and/or shaded play area for children. There is plenty of off-street parking for multiple vehicles, your boat, or other watercraft.

    Alcohol is allowed on our beaches, as are pets. You are free to leave beach umbrellas in place over night.

    We appreciate your interest in Castaway II.

    If I can answer any questions or further explain the features of Castaway II, do not hesitate to call me.

Wonderful time

First time in Fort Morgan and booked on a whim. Loved the location and access to beach (quick and easy for kids) the house was very homey and perfect size. Spent most the time out on the beach. Loved that we didn’t have to pack beach toys or our wagon because they had those there, same with towels, rags, etc. We can’t wait to book again!

Guys trip

The house was everything we could have asked for. Guys trip with plan to go deep sea fishing, & the house was convenient to the marina & spacious enough for all 6 of us to be comfortable with plenty of room to spare. There was an issue that we needed to contact the owner about, & she was easy to contact & handled the issue promptly. Plan on staying here again.

Wow!

Our vacation plans for Colorado fell through a week before we were supposed to go so we booked our trip to Fort Morgan on a whim. This was our first time staying here and WOW!! This property was SO SO perfect for our family. Clean & so close to the beach, we were all thrilled! We met Joe & he was so kind! This place was such a gift to us this week. Thank you SO much for an awesome property that you allowed us to enjoy for the week!

Host was very easy to talk to and was quick to answer questions. This house is in a great, quiet, friendly area with no crazy traffic in sight. It is maybe a 2 minute walk to a beautiful quiet beach. It is 30 minutes to Gulf Shores but we had brought everything to cook and eat at the house. So we were very happy

Great location and price for size and beach proximity. I can’t give a full 5 star due to a couple of issues but overall I would rent here again. The master bedroom carpet is nasty. It’s shag and needs replacing. It smelled like dog urine. The owner did say she was sending someone to clean it as we left but you can’t clean this. It needs to be replaced. The other bedrooms have newer carpet and were fine. The windows need curtains to block sunlight if you like to sleep past 6 am. It’s a great basic beach house that has the necessities and no frills. Great kitchen and dining space for a lot of people.

Family trip

The property was in a great location, my kids had a wonderful time on the beach. The property manager stayed in touch and made sure we had a great stay, and at the end of trip my son had left an iPod behind and she made sure we got it before we left town. We would definitely recommend staying here

The property wasn’t the most clean when we arrived with sand in the bed and a needed sweeping of the kitchen area, and although some toiletries such as TP and dishwasher provided, there was only enough for a weekends stay. The surprising part about that was the cleaners showed up 10 minutes before our checkout. Overall, the unit was as described though and had anything you could need for the kitchen or grill and was so close to the beach you don’t even want to leave your street to go anywhere else while on vacation. The only thing I would change is for the property manager to go with new cleaners and have extra pillows on site otherwise it was a great little spot.

Great accommodations with a short walk to the beach. The house was spotless, and well stocked with towels, linens and extra blankets. The local grocery store and restaurant was only a few miles away.

We love Ft. Morgan!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Castaway II in Ft. Morgan, AL. The house was just the right size for 5 adults and 3 children. The short walk to the beach made the location perfect. Ft. Morgan is such a family friendly area. We were able to leave our beach set up in place for the entire week. The kitchen was great, as was the laundry room. We will definitely be back.

Great

So close to the beach and quiet neighborhood. House is huge with great kitchen and plenty of cooking utensils (first one I stayed at that had a cast iron skillet) Owners frequently in neighborhood and available without being intrusive. Beach was lovely and just steps away. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. Will be back!
