Inquire now to book your vacation!

If you are looking for a great place to get away with your family or friends, this is it! Our home is only steps from the white beaches and blue waters of the Gulf Shore, you will lose yourself in the luxury of this professionally decorated home.

Our non-smoking home is located on a quiet section of the beach and is removed from the hustle and bustle of the heavily-developed beach areas (no high-rise condos around you), but close enough to allow quick access to golf, nature trails, family activities, shopping (including Outlets), and a variety of restaurants.

With plenty of space for all guests, the living area features two full-size sofas and five comfortable chairs, with views of the gulf (or a television, if you prefer). The living space also features a wet bar with ice maker, and a conversation area with game table for your enjoyment. There is a large dining table that seats ten and fully-equipped kitchen with two dishwashers and a double oven.

There are a total of six bedrooms to accommodate you in comfort. Two bedrooms feature king-size beds and a gulf view complete with a balcony. Two additional bedrooms are well-appointed with queen-size beds. Another bedroom includes two twin beds. There is even a bedroom with two sets of bunk beds - one set of twin bunk beds and one set of full bunk beds (accommodating as many as six). The bunk room includes a TV.

Each bedroom has an adjoining bath and the home features two 'family suites' (two bedrooms connected by a bath). The second floor features a loft with TV. We have a high-speed cable internet connection with Wi-Fi. The loft allows two additional guests to sleep on the day bed and trundle bed.

Your outdoor spaces begin with our screened porch. We have a picnic table and a round table to help you enjoy your dining, card playing, and socializing in comfort. The next frontier is a private pool (only shared with our neighbor's home). The pool is surrounded by a deck with several chaise lounges to help you bask in the sun.

The only thing that stands between the pool and the white sands of the Gulf of Mexico is our dune walk. For your convenience, we have an outdoor shower between the dune walk and the pool. Your family can easily roam between our home, the refreshing swimming pool, the beautiful white beaches, and the clear blue gulf water.

Wonderful Family Vacay
We stayed a week in this fabulous beach house. Everything about the house was great, the beach was so close and the pool was an added bonus. The house was well equipped with everything that we needed. Will definitely stay here again.

Great time
We had a wonderful time. Loved the pool and access to the beach!! House was nice. We never could figure out the TV s in any of the rooms. Several things could have used fixing or some TLC but we truly enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Justin Zimmerman

Host profile image
Justin and Susan met at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. We moved to Atlanta in 2002 and found Gulf Shores / Fort Morgan to be a wonderful vacation spot on the Gulf of Mexico.

Why they chose this property

We love the quiet beach and have a great time with our family and friends. When we visit with four families (and lots of kids) there is plenty of room for everyone.

What makes this property unique

Rest Area West has a large pool and a boardwalk that slopes from the pool to the house. We are on a quiet stretch of beach in Fort Morgan.
