Family Beachfront Oasis ~ Paddle Board & Beach Gear ~ 2 Kitchens ~ Arcade/Games!

🛏️ 8 Bedrooms | Sleeps up to 18
🏄‍♂️ Paddle Board & Beach Chairs
🏖️ Secluded Beach w/ Tons of Beach Gear
☕ 2 Full Kitchens & Coffee Bar
🕹️ Arcade & Outdoor Gaming Area
🏠 Perfect for Families & Dog Friendly

Some beach houses put you near the water. This one puts you on it.

Take Me A Wave is a beautifully renovated 8-bedroom, 6.5-bath beachfront home sitting directly on a quiet, uncrowded stretch of Fort Morgan beach. No condos. No crowds. Just sugar-white sand, stunning Gulf views, and a house built for the kind of vacation your group will be talking about for years.

⭐ MADE FOR GROUPS. BUILT FOR FAMILIES.

Most beach houses make you choose between space and privacy. Take Me A Wave gives you both.

The open-concept main living area brings everyone together, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing breathtaking Gulf views from the living room, dining table, and kitchen. Three plush sofas, a large dining table, and two full-length Gulf-facing decks mean there's always somewhere to unwind, no matter how big your group.

When it's time to wind down, the upstairs splits into TWO COMPLETELY SEPARATE WINGS. The East Wing and West Wing each have their own bedrooms, bathrooms, and deck access, so different families or friend groups can have their own space without anyone feeling on top of each other. It's the layout guests mention more than almost anything else, and it's what makes this house work so well for groups of all sizes and ages.

Parking for 6+ vehicles is available on the property, so no matter how many cars your group rolls in with, you're covered.

⭐ THE KITCHENS

Two full kitchens. It sounds like a nice bonus until you're actually using them. Then it's a game changer.

Use one kitchen for food and the other for drinks. Run both ovens at once for a big group dinner. Have breakfast going in one while someone makes coffee in the other. However you use them, having two fully equipped kitchens with stainless steel appliances means a large group never has to feel like they're tripping over each other.

TWO KITCHENS MEANS YOU'LL HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED:

✔️ Two stoves, ovens, refrigerators, microwaves & dishwashers
✔️ Two coffee makers (Keurig K-Cup & drip)
✔️ Toaster oven, blender, electric kettle & crock pot
✔️ Full set of pots, pans, silverware, plates, cups & cutting boards
✔️ Spice rack with spices

The second kitchen also serves as a coffee bar, and comes complete with a custom surfboard table perfect for unwinding with a drink or playing a round of board games. Your stay includes a complimentary supply of coffees, teas, creamer, and sugar — ready and waiting when you arrive.

With two full-length decks facing the Gulf, mornings here have a way of turning into afternoons. Grab a coffee, find a chair, and watch for dolphins in the Gulf...and don't be surprised if the Blue Angels make an appearance overhead too. Not a bad way to ease into the day.

⭐ YOUR PRIVATE BEACH

Step off the back deck and you're on the sand. Not a short walk to the beach. Not shared beach access down the street. The beach is your backyard.

Fort Morgan's coastline is a world away from the crowded public beaches of Gulf Shores. On most days, guests tell us they can count the number of people who walk by on one hand. It's the kind of beach that reminds you what a beach vacation is supposed to feel like.

Our large storage closet is stocked with everything you need:

✔️ Beach chairs & umbrella
✔️ Beach wagon
✔️ Paddle board & boogie boards
✔️ Fishing rod holders (bring your own poles)
✔️ Beach toys

Fort Morgan is also one of the most dog-friendly beaches on the Gulf Coast. Leashed dogs are welcome on the sand, making this a true home away from home for the whole family, fur babies included. 🐾

⭐ WHEN THE BEACH BRINGS YOU BACK IN

The custom hot/cold outdoor shower gets you cleaned up and ready for whatever comes next. Take Me A Wave has no shortage of ways to keep everyone entertained, rain or shine.

INDOORS:

✔️ Arcade machine in the living room (12 classic games including Ms. Pac-Man & Galaga!)
✔️ Full cabinet of board games for all ages

OUTSIDE UNDER THE HOUSE:

✔️ Giant Connect 4
✔️ Cornhole
✔️ Giant Jenga
✔️ Ring toss and hook & ring games
✔️ Charcoal grill (guests supply charcoal)
✔️ Outdoor high-top bar with seating
✔️ Built-in benches & picnic table
✔️ String lights overhead for evening hangouts

From the living room arcade to the games and string lights underneath the house, evenings here have a way of taking care of themselves.

⭐ GETTING OUT & ABOUT

The secluded setting and two full kitchens make it easy to never leave. But when you're ready, there's plenty nearby.

Sassy Bass (restaurant, grocery & liquor store) is less than a mile away. Several more restaurants are within a 10-minute drive. Downtown Gulf Shores is about 20-25 minutes down the road.

WORTH THE SHORT DRIVE:

⛳ Mini golf at Pirate's Island or go-karts at The Track
🎡 OWA Indoor Water Park
🏰 Historic Fort Morgan
⛴️ Ferry to Dauphin Island & the Aquarium
🌿 Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge hiking trails

We really enjoyed our time here! The house was spacious and clean with a beautiful view of the beach. The guys golfed at three nearby courses during our stay, and the "town" of Gulf Shores was an easy 20 minute drive from the house. Great memories made for our first trip to Gulf Shores/Ft. Morgan!

We had a great stay at this beach house. The location is unbeatable—right on the ocean with a beautiful, secluded view and easy access to a quiet, uncrowded beach. The house is well-equipped, featuring two full kitchens and a fantastic porch that's perfect for relaxing and enjoying the ocean breeze. The host was responsive and helpful—when we had a minor HVAC issue, they had the refrigerant refilled promptly with no hassle. Overall, a peaceful and comfortable getaway spot.

100% going to stay here again. The host is informative and easy to contact. The property is well kept and clean. It is beautifully decorated. Every room has a sound machine and extra blankets. We had 9 adults. Everyone found the mattresses very comfortable. 2 separate fully equipped kitchens was a game changer for people who love to cook a lot. The extra fridge space meant we could store drinks inside one fridge and food in the other. We had a minor issue with the Roku televisions when we first checked in. I messaged the owner and had a reply/resolution in minutes.

Fantastic!

This was a fantastic place to stay. The house comfortably accommodated our group of 12 adults, with room for more. Location is far enough from Gulf Shores making it a peaceful getaway, but still had plenty to do around the area. The house is well furnished, as described. The beach accessories, games, and equipment are a great feature. Owner was exceptionally responsive and helpful when a storm caused an internet outage.

Sixteen adults, ages 21 to 81, and a baby enjoyed this great house for a week. Weather wasnt perfect so we made use of inside games, arcade, and game area underneath the house quite a bit. We also made use of both kitchens extensively since we prepared and ate most of our meals together. We enjoyed a nearly private beach to spread out and fish. It was a great property, host, and experience for our group.

Great stay!

Staying at the beach house in Fort Morgan was nothing short of perfection. From the moment we arrived, the serenity of the location captivated us. The house, perched gracefully beside the pristine shores, offered breathtaking views that added a touch of magic to our mornings and evenings. Our host was incredibly welcoming, ensuring that our stay was comfortable and memorable. Their recommendations and insights about the area were invaluable, adding to the authenticity of our experience. The local restaurants were a nice surprise. While Fort Morgan might not be a bustling metropolis, the culinary scene was more than decent. Fresh seafood, local specialties, and friendly service made each meal a treat. At night, our kids loved finding ghost crabs and watching them speed across the sandy beach. If you're looking for a beach getaway that combines natural beauty, hospitality, and delightful dining, this Fort Morgan beach house ticks all the boxes. Highly recommended!

Amazing House for Big Family

This house had plenty of room for kids and extended family! We enjoyed playing all the games on the lower level. The storage room was stocked with everything you might need for the beach…extra chairs, crabbing nets, sand buckets, etc. We took the paddle board and kayak out one day when the water was calm; teens and adults had great time paddling and exploring down the beach. Water was crystal clear when we were there in June. Having two kitchens was great; used the extra refrigerator for drinks and the extra oven when cooking for a large group. Location was perfect. It’s super close to Sassy Bass when you need to pick up groceries or ice. We will book this house again for next summer!
