Awesome vacation
We like to stay away from all the chaos and this was perfect for us. 15 minutes into town when we chose to go and about maybe 10 minutes to the quiet beach at Fort Morgan. The cottage was beautifully decorated but more importantly comfortable and very functional. The kitchen was the best stocked with dishes and silverware and everything else needed of any place I have ever stayed. Can't say enough good stuff about it but it was quiet and relaxing.

Was more than we could have hoped for!
This was our first time booking a house and I was a little nervous about it. But honestly, it couldn’t have been more perfect. There were a few dirty areas, mostly outside, but honestly we didn’t even mind! The house itself looked small when we pulled up, but we had more than enough room and it was so relaxing knowing we weren’t on top of each other. At one point we had visitors so there was 4 adults, 2 teens, and 3 toddlers and it was still enough space. It was walking distance to the pool and most days we were the only ones at the pool when we went. It was like having our own personal pool. The screened in porch was also great for evenings after the kiddos went to bed. The drive to the beach public access was also very short and made it easy hauling our family back and forth. The neighbor was mostly quiet and we felt safe while on the property. They left us with enough essentials to get us through the first night until we could go to the store to get more (dish soap, laundry soap, ect.) We loved our stay so much we ended up extending it an additional night. We will definitely be booking for our next Fort Morgan trip!

Seems as though maintenance of this property doesn’t get done. A long list of items was left by Prior tenants and we added more. A lot of disrepair. Screened porch too dirty to use. Minimal kitchen items, no ice maker, frig handle broken, storm door doesn’t close, toilet broke and wouldn’t flush, requested outside seating area be power washed-didn’t get done. No-seums we’re really biting, pools not heated.

End of summer get away
Sea Hab, is an adorable pink cottage. Nicely decorated, cozy and equipped with everything you might need. Located in The Rookery III. We loved this place. There was an issue with cable that was remedied before we left. Trimming some bushes was all that was needed. Met two very nice gentlemen from the HOA, that took care of this for the owner. Nice to see since our trip was to look at property here. Beach just a short distance with two public beach access points. This visit we were able to ride the ferry over to Dauphin Island to explore. Always enjoy the local restaurants but this time we tried the new Sassy Bass Restaurant/ Tiki Bar. The Brisket is a must try and the Pina Colada Cake. Thank you for having such a lovely home. Oh by the way, this is the first time ever we have not had to sweep the floor when we arrived somewhere so give your cleaner a pat on the back!

A great house. Check to see if the internet issues has been resolved before booking if you need it.
Pros: a full sized washer & dryer. Nice sized bedrooms. Great bathrooms. The screened-in back porch is fantastic!!! This house has a fully stocked kitchen, unlike the house we stayed in last year. The down side to that is there are only two shelves to store pantry items and the rest resides on the countertop. Don’t stay here is you are looking for a party scene, it’s a nice quiet area. There are two pools to use, one has a kiddie sized pool as well. The property no longer uses comforters and use the triple sheet method (sheet, blanket, sheet). No extra bedding or pillows provided. Cons: the internet was non existent, which means the tv wouldn’t work because Dish Network couldn’t connect. If it was only adults in our group that may not have been a huge deal but with three kids it’s a must. With AT&T I only had one bar and calls repeatedly got dropped, had to go outside to use the phone but it still wasn’t a guarantee. The property management company was wonderful to work with and helped to get us in a new place the next day.

Would never stay here again
Upon arrival the home was very dirty. The glass kitchen table had grease and hand prints all over it. The kitchen cabinets had spaghetti sauce all over. Kitchen sink had mold in it, so did both showers. Fridge handles had dried food all over them. I don’t think the home has ever been dusted. Tv in living room did not work at all. There are no comforters on the beds so pictures are very misleading. The No see ums in this particular area are HORRIBLE. We vacation often in the fort Morgan area and this was by far the dirtiest and least “stocked” house we have stayed in. We cleaned the house after we arrived and bought comforters for our stay.

Very nice house, did not realize it was so far from the beach and/or shopping, restaurants and everything ! Never been to area before. 20 miles to town or 1/2 drive ! Mgt company is great very attentive, quick response and answered every question ! I would do a closer follow up with cleaning company however, I realize good help is hard to find. I suggest in cooler weather that extra blankets would be left in closets . All in all it was an enjoyable month at the Sea-Hab !!!!

Excellent clean home
We had an wonderful stay at the Seahab (single house) in the rookery 3. We have stayed in the rookery 2 & 3 many times & have never had a bad experience. This was our first visit during the off season. We stayed thanksgiving week Nov.20th-27th. The location was good, the home was clean with plenty of dishes, towels & room. The beach, fort Morgan & Gulf shores were all very low traffic because of the time of year. Of course the blue angels are always a huge plus as they flew right over the home almost every morning. We will stay at the rookery in the future. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Month-long stay
This was a nice break from winter for us. The house was nicely stocked with dishes and had a big washer and dryer for laundry. Nice neighborhood with pool and close enough to drive to beaches. Tried walking once, but with small children I was not comfortable on the roads without sidewalks. There is a nice path to get to the beach neighborhood, so having a golf cart would have been nice. It was not included though. Also you may want to bring blankets. Could not open windows for a breeze because no-see-um bugs were really bad outside. Overall, would recommend. Great property, nice location and the property management was so great to work with. We had a great stay!

Great stay with friends.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is really nice and very clean The real issue were the twin beds. The box springs and mattresses need to be replaced. Every time you move it makes a loud noise that wakes you up. The only other issue was the tv in the master had no signal.

Our first trip to Fort Morgan
After a slight hiccup with getting in on our first day, we were pleasantly surprised how nicely decorated and laid out the home was. The beds were adequate and accommodated sleeping 6 comfortably. The kitchen was well laid out and had all the necessary cooking essentials we needed. The washer/dryer worked great! Shopping recommendations: DON'T GO GROCERY SHOPPING ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING IF YOU CAN HELP IT!!! WAY TOO CROWDED!!! We liked the remoteness of where the home was as well as the proximity to the beach which was only about a 10 minute walk. The community had two pools which were nice, although the larger one was a bit cloudy compared to the other one. The larger pool had bathrooms and a ping pong table and books for your enjoyment. The neighbors were quiet but the frogs were not! They sang all night long which was a bit hard to get used to for a few nights, especially trying to sleep. Bring something to make some white noise to help you sleep. We took the ferry to Dauphin Island and toured the fort as well as the island. That made for a fun day excursion. I would highly suggest taking your car on the ferry if you plan to get around the island. The beach was nice as well as the water. We like water you can see through and it didn't disappoint. We had almost daily Dolphin sightings and they provided us a show one day by playing and jumping out of the water just a few yards away from where were. All in all it was a fun and relaxing week full of sun, beach, shopping, and getting away from the COVID craziness even though we did have to wear masks everywhere we went. We will definitely be back to Fort Morgan Beach.

Amazing Property
We had an awesome experience staying in the Rookery Neighborhood in this adorable Pink house! A few years ago we stayed in the neighborhood across the street on the beach side and this house was so much better even during COVID times. The property was extremely clean with very nice furnishings. For reference we have a 2 and 9 year old - I felt like the layout was easy for the two year old to navigate. Our 9 year old loved sitting on the covered porch listening to wildlife in the marshy area behind the house. My husband and I enjoyed having coffee in the morning and beverages at night on the porch as it felt very remote and secluded. The kitchen was well stocked for what we needed with making some meals at the house. In the future, if we return to Gulf Shores, I would LOVE to stay at this house again! It was the perfect location, layout, and overall just beautiful piece of property.

We had a great time at the Rookery Coral Beach House. The house was very clean, and management was easy to communicate with before and during our stay. We had an issue with the satellite while we were there, and they sent maintenance over quickly to fix it. The unit had everything we needed, and beds were comfortable. It is a short walk to the pool (just around the corner). I put 4 stars instead of 5 for location, only because it isn’t on the beach side & doesn’t have a view... but we knew that when we rented it. It’s a long walk, or a short drive to the beach, and there is public parking at the beach (use Cortez road, just down the street and you’ll find it). Overall, we had a great time and were happy with our stay.
