We just had a wonderful week st Serenity on the Shore! The views were beautiful, the location was great for seclusion but close enough if you wanted to go on an excursion there were things to do, and there was plenty of space for our group of 14. We have come to Ft. Morgan many times ans this has by far been the best maintained property we have stayed in. Coastal View was promptly responsive to a maintenance issue that came up during our stay with the problem fixed the same day. I would definitely recommend this property for your next beach stay.
I was looking for a property that fit all our needs and this one knocked it out of the park. My husband uses a walker and he was able to move around the house freely and was able to get on the beach every day. The boardwalk was study and the house was located with a straight distance to the sand. The balconies had plenty of chairs to sit and enjoy the view. The house was spacious and well equipped for us to enjoy family meals around the large table. The property had a wonderful sunset view to end the evening. We will definitely stay here again.
My sisters, staying at other rentals referred to this one as the 5 star resort ⭐️
Three out of the last four years we have stayed, for our winter vacation, at Serenity on the Shore. It is my wife's Happy Place. As the years pass I have commited to her that as long as she is Happy here we will never change locations. We, not only love the house and the location but we are very pleased with the property management team from Jen to Dee Dee to Dan to Greg And we are yet to meet Gail. Thank you for answering our questions and being there for us.
This year was somewhat different due to the fact I experienced an MI (Myocardial Infarction) on February 15th and found an incredible team of doctors at Thomas Hospital in Fairhope that mprvided me excellent care and more lfe to live. I am eternally grateful. It was also a sad year because it was the first time at Serenity that we did not have " my best little friend with me...Bentley" to walk on the beach with. Bentley passed away on September 8th last year. All of the memories tugged at my heart but they also made me smile that we had 13 years with him. We have made many friends over the years while staying on Fort Morgan and hope to be able to renew those friendships again next year. We are already booked for our stay in 2027. Serenity on the Shore... OUR HAPPY PLACE!
Overall the house and location were great. The last renters left some form of fish in the fridge and was completely unusable as we and the managing partner tried cleaning it but with really no luck. Other than that we would recommend this property to anyone with large gatherings and wanted a nice quiet stay.
Probably the best rental ever!! House was very well stocked...the kitchen has two dishwashers and the bar area has an ice maker, which was a game changer for our family! The house was very clean and well maintained. The only drawback —the bathroom door to the 1st floor Queen room wasn’t able to be locked from inside the bedroom.(doorknob should be swapped so whoever is the bedroom can lock it) Otherwise the most amazing place!! Also, Greg and Gail were wonderful at communicating with us. (Didn’t need their help on anything but have no doubt that would have been quick to remedy any issues) Will rent again!
This was a family beach vacation. We enjoyed so much being really close to the water. We had lots of space to move around. Kitchen was very well stocked One of the best things was being out of the main thoroughfare. We will definitely consider this rental again.
2nd time renting and signed up for next year. Great experience only one drawback. The TV in the Great room is tiny and it is stuffed into a cabinet which means the audio can not be heard. Large Flat Screen TV's are not expensive and since I pay over $9,000.00 for a six week stay I would hope that next year I will be able to enjoy an upgrade to the TV in the great room. Thank you.
It's a very comfortable house. We had everything we needed.Fantastic view.
House was perfect for our vacation. We had 9 people and plenty of space. No complaints or issues whatsoever. The house was clean, well equipped and in great shape. The beach access was the best in Fort Morgan we have seen, and Dee Dee was on point making sure we had everything we needed. The only thing I saw wrong was the main bedroom doors to access the balcony were inoperable but wasn’t a concern of ours.
The house is beautiful and right on the beach. We loved it so much we have already rented for next year.
We had a great trip to Serenity on the Shore in Fort Morgan. We were traveling with two families and 5 kids. The house was clean and well appointed. The proximity to the beach was ideal - kids could play in the sand while parents had coffee on the porch; or if we were all at the beach, the kids could go get snacks/use the restroom/get toys solo. We ventured into Gulf Shores for gocarts and mini golf one day; and otherwise enjoyed the great views and beach access. We mostly ate at the house (groceries are an easy 25 minute drive to Gulf Shores); and did take out from Jesse's on the bay for our last evening. Kids all gave it 5 stars for shell collecting, too!
Great house with lots of amenities. The house is great and you can not be closer to the water. The layout of the house works great for large groups with plenty of room to spread out. The Coastal management team was great and very quick to answer any questions we had. We will definitely rent from this again and use this house!
After starting our vacation with a house that the air was out in, your company went above and beyond to help us find another location and got us in at the last minute Saturday night! The house was magnificent with the best view and literal steps away from the ocean. We could not have asked for anything better and hope to be back next year!
Great week at Serenity on the Shore! Rooms were spacious with plenty of bathrooms. Living and kitchen areas are large and great for entertaining family/friends. Two dishwashers were nice, too. Media room with large screen upstairs was a nice bonus. Washer and dryer on both levels was great. Great balcony areas, too. The house is right on the beach, so it's a short walk over your private walkway. The outside shower wasn't working properly, but we used the hose. Dee Dee was our house manager and she was great and handled a few little things for us! Overall, we were very pleased with this beach house!
Family Reunion vacation getaway was just that for this property allows an experience off the beaten path, yet close enough to the tourist attractions when desired. Fort Morgan history is a must see.
It was wonderful. We are coming back next year.
We loved our stay and can’t wait to return. The home was perfect for our family and friends. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you needed. The beds were comfortable. DeeDee, the property manager, was easy to deal with and just a text away. She even kept us updated on the rip tide warnings. We visited Lulu’s and Tacky Jacks 2. Both were great!
My wife and I have been coming to Fort Morgan for the past 12 years and this was our "BEST" experience. We always stay at least 5 weeks and this property is everything that we had hoped for. A clean, solid home with plenty of room to entertain. We needed very little customer service but Jen and Dee Dee were always just a text/phone call way when we needed help. I would highly recommend that the owner place a larger TV in the great room and connect the existing surround sound system to it. Although there is a wonderful Media room (for a Movie Night) we didn't find it was always convenient to watch our favorite programs there. All-in-all a wonderful property, great location and we have already placed our deposit for next year. That should tell you everything you need to know about Serenity on the Shore.
This house is absolutely gorgeous and has everything you could possibly need. From the balcony, we saw dolphins every day. The house is perfect for larger families that want to all be together under one roof.

The house really fit our needs for a beach getaway with family. Perfect location, right on the beach, plenty of space from other beach lovers, lots of gathering room, two sinks and dishwashers was a plus, and plenty of sleeping spaces. One of the best things is that they had a local person looking after the house that came by when we needed assistance with any issues. However, there were a few drawbacks, but none would be a deal breaker in returning. The ice maker was out of service which lead us to have to get ice for drinks during meals. A house that sleeps as many as it does should have a second refrigerator for food to feed that many. We had to wash dishes after every meal in order to have silverware for the next sit down meal.
Our group of 12 had a wonderful stay. The house was spacious and the views were incredible. It was amazing being just steps from the ocean. Would definitely stay here again!
This house worked well for our family of 12 including grandparents and their two families with 3 kids each. It's not fancy (and with young children we do not need fragile furniture, etc!) but was functional. Those who continued to work away from the office, enjoyed being able to look out over the beach as they worked. For one of the rain days, the movie room was a great help! Having a small enclosed area under the house to park bikes was nice. We would have appreciated a second fridge as we bring food for a week, but the two smaller ones helped out. We had a few small issues, and the management was responsive. We would recommend. (We bring plenty of supplies like kitchen soaps and scrubbers, TP, paper towels, garbage bags, etc, so we had no issues with small things like that.)

needed to get away with some friends to sunshine - and just relax- a perfect location, house was comfortable, our only issue was minor but -the house was short on towels- and the towels there were small
We had such a great time staying at this house for our week of celebrating with family for my husband and my retirement. It is a wonderful house right on the beach. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom so we all had our own spaces. The kitchen is wonderful and very well stocked. The property manager (Dee Dee) was very nice and super responsive but the house is so well maintained there were just a couple minor issues. We relaxed on the decks and the beach, enjoyed the wonderful views and prepared great meals in the kitchen. We didn't want to leave! Thank you!
This was probably the best vacation on the beach that our family has ever had, it was so peaceful and relaxing. The location was perfect. I would definitely recommend.
We stayed at this property for 5 nights during our children's school spring break. We were a group of 3 families with 7 children ranging in age 6mo to 12yo. This house was absolutely perfect for us: plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable, lots of seating area in the living room and kitchen. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals (2 dishwashers!). Loved watching the waves from the back porch while having my morning coffee. The upstairs movie area was fantastic for the kids to play in and watch tv/movies on the projector screen. The bedrooms were comfortable too.
There was plenty of parking for our 3 cars. The tiny walk to the beach was perfect for our littles; just a few steps and you are on the beach.
The location is a bit secluded from the main Gulf Shores center (about 15min drive), but that's what we were looking for. Even though it was spring break and there were lots of college students around, we had plenty of space on the beach and didn't feel crowded at all. We loved Tacky Jacks and River Fish Grill for meals.
Overall we loved our stay and will definitely be back!
Nice beach house with beautiful views. Our stay was very relaxing but too short.

This house was perfect for our family of 14. Everything you need is there. The kitchen was stocked with every item you’d ever use. Each bedroom had extra plugs and USB outlets. We never wished for something we needed but forgot to bring. And being a few steps to the water, was a cherry on top. Jen and DeeDee were so helpful with every detail.
