Beachfront at The Salty Pelican, Sleeps 16, Plunge Pool, Fort Morgan Beach

Wake up to the sound of gentle waves and your toes in the sand at this true beachfront escape, set directly on a private stretch of Fort Morgan’s pristine shoreline. Step off the spacious wooden deck and follow your own path straight to untouched, sandy beaches—flip‑flops optional.

From sunrise coffees to sunset cocktails, every moment is framed by sweeping Gulf views. Settle into the provided loungers and watch dolphins glide by as the tide rolls in. Take a dip into plunge pool to cool off. Or spend your days nearby sailing across turquoise water, reeling in the catch of the day, snorkeling vibrant shallows, golfing all year long, or renting jet skis for a little thrill.

The only few things I had a slight issue with is that the bathrooms in the rooms do not have a lock. They are sliding doors and very noisy when you open and close them which sometimes woke up my kids. The next would be the amount of stairs which I know can not be fixed, however climbing 3 floors after a long day does get you tired. Other than that the home was very clean and very nice. gorgeous view of the Gulf as well. This would definitely be a place we would consider again.

Liked: Location
The property was fantastic! Loved the distance from the steps to the water as it was much closer than previous locations we have stayed. Our host Michelle was a joy to work with and great at communicating. The toys and beach items that were available with the house were a very nice touch and gave us many more options than we expected. The house was very well cleaned upon arrival and I actually enjoyed being further out from Gulf Shores proper as the area had very low traffic and plenty of space for our family on the beach. The pool was a perfect size for our two little (3 & 6yo) but if you have older kids then they may not enjoy that aspect as much. The pool itself is perfect for an adult to relax in and enjoy the view though. Overall, you won’t regret staying here and will love it. Also, the openness of the living room and dining area (along with the long bench seating) made it perfect for our big group to sit at and eat together which was a very nice touch.

Great family vacation!

This location was perfect for our family of eight adults and three children (8 and under). We had a wonderful stay which included dolphin watching, building sand structures, crabbing at night and the grandchildren loved the little pool. The house was clean and welcoming. Communication with the owner was excellent. Would highly recommend this property.
