Charming Cottage With Beautiful Gulf Views - Perfect for Family Getaway!

Charming 4 bedroom, 2 bath raised cottage just steps from the Gulf of Mexico. Witness amazing sunsets and gulf views from the deck, with covered and uncovered areas. Fort Morgan has sugar white beaches and blue-green water. Enjoy the privacy of the beach, take walks or hunt for seashells, or enjoy the many activities in the nearby Gulf Shores and Orange Beach area. Watch the dolphins swim by, and soak in the sun and unspoiled beauty of this area. No condos nearby, small crowds. No smoking and no pets.

This cottage is perfect for a family looking for a beach vacation getaway. The lot is large, and there is plenty of room to spread out outside. There is a large partially covered deck that provides the perfect spot for morning coffee, eating meals outside, or just sitting and enjoying the breeze off the Gulf and listening to the sound of the waves.

Cottage has four bedrooms and two baths and an enclosed hot/cold water outdoor shower. Queen sized sleeper sofa and full sized futon, together with bedrooms, provide sleeping space for 12. Kitchen is fully stocked with coffee maker, toaster, blender, food processor, griddle, and plenty of dishes and serving pieces.

Perfect Stay

We stayed for 6 weeks and our stay could not have been any better. The owners were great. Very responsive with any questions we had. The location, just across the street from the Gulf, was outstanding. We will definately stay again when visiting the Gulf Shores.

Great family vacation spot

Our family enjoyed staying here for our vacation. It was clean and had everything we needed, down to a garlic press. We loved the big island in the kitchen, made cooking so easy. Our favorite thing was the front deck. Loved having it covered with a picnic table for eating and the other end is open for enjoying dance parties and seeing the gulf waves. I highly recommend this lovely beach house for your family.

Great quiet getaway

Thanks, Linda and Bill! Beautiful house and very close to the beach. Very relaxing and quiet. Perfect size for our family. We enjoyed it immensely. The hosts responded in good time to all questions. The house was clean and has all you need, especially if you like to cook your own meals!

A perfect family vacation!

We had a wonderful stay at Toot, the most perfect beach house for our family. We had plenty of room for our family of six (ages 18 & up)! The house was well-stocked with all of the kitchen supplies we needed. We also enjoyed the supply of beach chairs, floaties, umbrellas, etc. The owners were very responsive and helpful throughout our entire trip. Everything about our stay was just perfect and we hope to be back again soon. Thank you!

Great beach cottage for family getaway

We enjoyed the 2nd row cottage with easy access to the beach. The wraparound porch is wonderful and spent a lot of time out there admiring the gulf views. There is a Huge kitchen island for everyone to gather around for meals. The AC worked perfectly even in 100 degree heat. We really enjoyed our stay.

Beach oasis

This was the perfect escape! We loved that the house was literally steps away from the beach. House was so cute, great living space, beds were nice and comfortable! Close to major activities but far enough away to enjoy some serenity.

Absolutely perfect!

This place was adorable. Enough space for all 6 of us. The big kitchen island or the deck is where we ate, played games and hung out, if we weren't at the beach or site seeing. 2 min walk to the beach. We loved sitting on the deck just listening to the ocean. Great place, quiet, beaches not crowded....loved it all!!

Perfect house for families with kids!

This house was perfect for my family vacation with 5 kids! The location is just a short walk to the beach. The house was clean and provided all we needed during our stay. We loved the outdoor area under the house and the outdoor shower that was so helpful to clean up the kids before going inside. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend this house to other families!

This was our 3rd-4th stay at Toot and it never disappoints. It is clean, well stocked (kitchen) and a very, very short walk to beach. The beds are comfy. The owner is great about communicating. We had no issues. Love TOOT!!!

Relaxing beach vacation

Our huge family stayed for 6 days and absolutely fell in love with the house. Not only was the kitchen and inside big enough to accommodate us all but the kids had so much room outside to spread out and play in the sand. We saw dolphins jumping on the beach and spent the nights ghost crab hunting. The location gave privacy but you’re a short drive to everything you could need. We will definitely be back
