Overview

Find your happy place at the beach with this pristine beach home. Just two miles from Historic Fort Morgan, and only steps from the shore, this serene seaside retreat offers a quieter alternative to the regular hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores proper. Enjoy gulf breezes from the private front porch, take in water views on the back deck, or stroll down the sandy path to spend the day at the beach. A convenient outdoor shower is equipped for rinsing-off sand and saltwater. After the beach, kick back on the covered ground-floor patio for some happy hour lounging.

Bright and inviting, the interior showcases stylish coastal design and all the up-to-date home features you need to help you get settled into carefree vacation bliss. You'll find a full suite of stainless steel appliances and all the cookware you'll need for planning homemade meals, and there's plenty of sit-down space between the breakfast counter and dining table. An outdoor dining table is also furnished on the patio for alfresco meals. Plush sofas and a TV set the stage for casual family downtime in the living room after the day's adventures. Home essentials include central air-conditioning, free WiFi, and a private washer/dryer.

Home in Gulf Shores, Alabama

While you’re there

Check out some of our favorite parts of Fort Morgan. Sourced from our local teams who live there.

The Southern Grind

From fluffy breakfast plates to killer cold brews and frappes, this is the kind of place that makes mornings worth waking up for—and yes, you can grab their beans to keep the good vibes brewing at home.

Buzzcatz Coffee & Sweets

Made-to-order breakfasts, homemade baked goods, specialty coffees, and indulgent ice cream—the kind of scrumptious neighborhood gem that makes every trip to Orange Beach taste a little sweeter.

Cobalt

With a breathtaking sunset over the bay as your backdrop, expect lavish brunch buffets, fresh local seafood, and sinfully good desserts that'll have you planning your next visit before the check arrives.

The Hangout

Where the highway meets the beach—delicious food, live entertainment, a foam pit, sand pile, games, and Gulf Shores' most iconic beachside atmosphere all under one roof.

Acme Oyster House

Authentic New Orleans seafood meets pure Gulf Coast fun—ice-cold raw oysters, legendary chargrilled favorites, and the epic 'Peace Maker' po'boy. Life really is more fun with seafood.

Flora-Bama Yacht Club

Almost as legendary as the famous bar across the street, the Flora-Bama Yacht Club delivers an unbeatable combo of jaw-dropping food, warm service, stunning waterfront settings, and live music — because on the Gulf Coast, it really doesn't get any better than this!

The Gulf

Stunning shipping container design, elegant rustic cuisine, and a genuinely welcoming staff—the kind of magical seaside destination that feels like a hidden gem even after everyone discovers it.

Cosmo’s Restaurant & Bar

Hand-cut steaks, fresh local seafood, and a Banana Leaf Wrapped Fish so iconic it made the list of "top 100 dishes to eat before you die." This Orange Beach gem is anything but ordinary.

Tropic Falls at OWA

The Gulf Coast's ultimate year-round playground—a jaw-dropping indoor water park with 75-foot slides, a convertible glass roof, outdoor wave pool, surf simulator, and 23 theme park attractions for nonstop family fun.

My family and I stayed at Beach Happy for Labor Day weekend, and I honestly cannot say enough good things about our stay!

I’m an island girl and a local, and my family is local as well, so I know the area very well. I chose this home because of its location—it is literally just a few steps from the beach! But the location is only part of what makes this place so special.

Beach Happy has EVERYTHING you could want for a relaxing beach getaway—paddle boards, grills, a fire pit, and beautiful balconies on both sides of the home with amazing views of the beach. 🌊☀️

I know where all the “secret spots” are around here, and this is definitely one of them. Honestly, I almost didn’t want to write a review because I didn’t want to let the secret out! 😂 There was no crowded beach, no traffic, and just those peaceful, happy beach vibes we were looking for.

I also want to give Avari, the host, the property manager, and of course the owner a huge thank you for such a wonderful stay. The home was incredibly clean and stocked with everything we needed, including plenty of kitchen dishes, supplies, and amenities. You can tell a lot of thought and care has gone into making guests feel comfortable.

And the sweetest part of our entire stay… Beach Happy was where my precious little granddaughter, only 2½ months old, let out her very first BIG laugh! 🥹❤️ And of course, she is named after Davy Jones’ “Heart of the Ocean,” so being by the water was absolutely her vibe! 🌊💙😂

That is a memory our family will cherish forever.

I truly believe this home was named perfectly. Beach Happy really does make you happy! We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back. 🌴🌊❤️

Avari response:

What a joy to read your review! It sounds like your Labor Day weekend at Beach Happy was truly special, and we’re so glad you and your family enjoyed everything from the peaceful beach vibes to those beautiful balconies with stunning views.

We love that you found our little slice of paradise, and it’s wonderful to hear that the home had everything you needed for a relaxing getaway. Knowing that your granddaughter shared her first big laugh there makes it even more meaningful. Those moments are what family vacations are all about, and we’re honored to have been a part of that memory.

Thank you for your kind words about our team and the care we put into making Beach Happy a comfortable retreat. We can’t wait to welcome you back for more happy times by the water!
