Overview

The spacious deck is one of the highlights of the home. With plenty of seating and open views toward the Gulf, it’s an ideal place to start the morning with coffee, soak up the sunshine during the day, or unwind in the evening while listening to the waves.

Inside, the home features a fresh coastal interior with comfortable furnishings, natural light, and stylish updates throughout. The living area offers cozy seating, a large TV, and windows that let in plenty of sunshine while still offering views of the surrounding beach landscape.

The updated kitchen and dining space provide everything needed to prepare meals during your stay, whether you're cooking breakfast before heading to the beach or enjoying a relaxed dinner after a day in the sun.

After a day spent enjoying the beach, guests can relax on the deck, gather in the comfortable living area, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings that make Fort Morgan such a special place to visit.

Sleeping arrangements are ideal for families or small groups. The main bedroom features a queen bed, while the second bedroom includes twin bunk beds. An additional twin bed is located in a small sleeping nook near the laundry area, which also includes a convenient washer and dryer for guest use.

A unique feature of the home is a third bedroom with its own private entrance, accessed via an exterior walkway. This separate space offers added privacy and can be a great option for couples or guests who prefer a little extra separation from the main living area.

This home offers the perfect blend of coastal charm, modern updates, and relaxed beach living for families, couples, or small groups looking to enjoy Alabama’s quieter stretch of Gulf shoreline.

Guest access

Guests have access to the entire home and private outdoor areas, including the beachfront deck. Parking is available on site.

Great stay! Right on the beach.

Anonymous Review from Airbnb

March 2026

The location was great and literally steps from the beach and that honestly made the trip absolutely worth it. The house is nice with some minor issues - a few things were broken, the one shower backed up, and we had an issue with the washer/dryer. We were able to fix those. The AC in the in-law suite did not work well. We didn’t get the second code for the in-law suite but luckily one of the property helpers coincidentally stopped by so we were able to get that. Management never responded to our message regarding the code. Other than that it had what we needed and would stay again. The view from the living room was incredible and beds were comfy. It had lots of towels which was appreciated and checking out was a breeze as there was nothing we needed to do the room care if that!

We enjoyed our break from the cold and snowy upper Midwest while staying at Dorsey’s Wave beach cottage. We loved being able to have our dog there with us and being able to walk right out to the beautiful beach! There were a couple of maintenance issues but nothing that prevented us from enjoying our time there. The biggest negative for us was that there is no storage for our things and the rooms are small so living out of our suitcases made things a bit difficult. We are thankful for our time there.
