About this property

Beautiful 5 bed/4 bath home with breathtaking views and steps from the water!


  • Wake up to the sound of the waves at Shipwatch North! This is your family's perfect beach house for 2026 and many years to come. Located directly on the beach, Shipwatch North is a luxurious five (5) bedroom, four (4) bath home (3 master bedrooms with separate baths) which sits on the beach and is less than 300 feet to the water's edge! This is not a duplex or a condominium, it is a free-standing residence. Each bedroom and deck have beautiful views of the quiet white beach sands and are perfect to enjoy the sunsets. With the exception of the property adjacent, you are oceanfront! Beautiful hardwood floors adorn the entire home, and the ground level has a large wood deck (entire length of the house) which is perfect for outside grilling & picnics. The home has six (6) televisions, a fully equipped kitchen and laundry room, as well as other numerous amenities, including high-speed internet access to make your stay one to remember. Numerous highly rated golf courses are located nearby. Guests may also enjoy visiting the historical Fort Morgan during their stay, which is a quick 2-mile drive from the house. The ferry is also located 2 miles from the house, which brings guests across Mobile Bay to Dauphin Island where you can enjoy several attractions such as the aquarium and bird sanctuary.

Direct beach view is obstructed, but you can see the ocean to the left and right of the balcony. Great house 30 steps from the beach. Host was easy to get in touch with and very responsive. Definitely recommend.

Great home on the beach! Just steps to the gulf. Great Fort Morgan location, away from the crowds of Gulf Shores but close enough to all of the great restaurants in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach.

Perfection

The house was amazing, clean and welcoming. The host was so accommodating and made our stay perfect. House was right on the beach, only 15 mins or so to Gulf Shores town center but easily accessible to our needs. We loved the house and it came well stocked with all the things we needed as far as utensils and basic supplies. We will definitely be booking again

ShipWatch North Vacation

Tony's beach house is large, comfortable and close to the beach front. We love having the open porch on the ground floor that is always shady and has a breeze. We put an X-pen across the stairs to block in the dogs. They love being outside with room to play. This is our 4th stay here, so I think that says everything! We love staying here.

Family get away

We had 8 adults and 4 children all 3 years old or younger. We loved the house. Host was awesome! even called half way through stay to check in and make sure everything was going well. Definitely recommend having a 4wd truck or suv because the beach has washed up but wasn’t no problem for us. We will definitely be back!!

Family friendly

A great space for everyone to spread out, yet enjoy one another’s company! Our family included 6 adults, a 16 y/o, 10 y/o, and a 6 y/o. The property is right on the beach, making it so easy to relax, as well as go in for meals at your leisure. We watched dolphins play from our balcony, and many stingrays when the water was calm. A wagon was provided to carry belongings. The house overall was well stocked. Tony was very helpful. Thanks for allowing us to stay.

On the sand

The 5 bedrooms & 4 baths were great for our family group! There was also plenty of space for us to all eat our meals together. Plenty of sand toys & 3 boogie borders made beach play easy. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, flatware, & dishes. Wonderful seats on the balcony to enjoy the views. Bring your own toilet paper, paper towels, etc. We never got the king bedroom TV to function properly. Overall, it was a great week for our family.

The house is great for our family, we love that there are 3 master bedrooms. The only complaint really is that the mattresses are really noisy every time you move or get up or lay down. They are comfortable though, just very loud.

Perfect beach house!

This house is so nice! It has so much room and a great layout. The kitchen was very well-stocked. The balconies and deck were spacious. It's the second house from the beach, and the steps from the deck are literally on the sand. Tony was great to work with. Highly recommend!

Spring break

Pictures online definitely need to be updated, house is nothing like the pictures. House needs some TLC. You can tell it’s a investment property. But if you are looking for a house that is literally steps away from the beach this is it! It’s nothing fancy but the location it is everything. Otherwise my family and I had a great stay!

Would stay here again

Our family loved this house. It is not the one in the front as the picture shows, but it is the one right behind it and you have views of the ocean from everywhere and you are literally steps from the beach. The pictures need updated because I felt the house was actually better than the pictures portrayed. The bedrooms are roomy and 3 of them have their own bathroom with the other two being directly across from or right down the hallway from the other bathroom. The layout is perfect for a big family. I have no complaints and would recommend this house to anyone.

Location was great! It’s practically on the beach, but there is another house directly between it and the ocean. It could use some deep cleaning, but nothing major. The layout is excellent with a bathroom for each bedroom. Thanks for the memories!
