Sandy Bottoms is located on the Fort Morgan Peninsula, about 15.5 miles from the intersection of Fort Morgan Road (Highway 180 West) and Highway 59 in Gulf Shores. You can be there in less than 30 minutes!
If it is peaceful relaxation and uncrowded spaces you desire, the Fort Morgan Peninsula is the place to be! Fort Morgan is surrounded by water, with Mobile Bay on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other - the most beautiful natural beaches in the area. Steeped in history, it is a place where nature abounds. The coastal dunes between the house and the Gulf are habitat for the endangered Alabama beach mouse and nesting sea turtles! You won't see high rise, high density condo buildings in our area; rather, you will feel like you have come to a place that is lost in time. It attracts like a magnet! Once you have visited, you will want to come back again and again!
Sandy Bottoms is light and bright with an open floor plan in the main living area, which includes the living room, dining area and kitchen. It is a great space for family and friends to gather! The main living area has a view of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and access to the spacious deck.
The living room has plenty of seating with a large sectional sofa with chaise, as well as an additional comfy chair with ottoman and a desk and chair with charging station. Enjoy watching TV and take advantage of the DirecTV full lineup and smart TV with access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.
For your dining pleasure there is a large table with six chairs, plus two bar stools. The kitchen always gets rave reviews from our guests! There are plenty of excellent restaurants in the area, but if you prefer to stay in and cook your own meals, you won't find anything lacking in the kitchen at Sandy Bottoms. Just read the reviews!
The primary bedroom suite is separated from the other two bedrooms. It has a private bathroom, comfortable queen bed, large dresser, two nightstands, comfy chair with table lamp, walk-in closet, and TV with DirecTV full lineup. The lamps have a USB port for charging your devices. The primary bedroom also has a view of the Gulf of Mexico and access to the deck.
The additional two bedrooms have two twin beds in one room and a queen bed in the other. Both the twin and the queen bedrooms have closets and chests for plenty of storage. The queen bedroom also has a desk and chair with charging station. Both bedrooms have multiple USB ports for charging devices. The second full bath is located on the wing with bedrooms two and three.
Step out of the living area or master bedroom onto a large deck with a beautiful view of sugar white sand dunes and the gorgeous blue-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico! The deck also provides an additional sitting area and dining area, with a table and six chairs, two loungers and a glider. This is a great spot to view the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, watch the dolphins frolic, or catch some rays. You might even be lucky enough to see a show from the Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron as they practice!
Want to get out of the sun for a bit? Enjoy the additional covered living and dining area underneath the house in the carport area! You will love the outdoor enclosed shower which has hot and cold water, vanity with sink, lighting and electrical outlet. You must experience a hot shower where you can feel the ocean breeze and hear the crashing waves! There is also a sandy sitting area on the beach side of the house with Adirondack chairs. A great place to watch the kids play in the sand!
Step from the Gulf view deck to a boardwalk that leads to a covered gazebo with built-in seating. From the gazebo walk about 75 feet on the sandy beach access lot to the dunes, and over the dunes to the beach! The beach is normally shared by only 4 houses (however it is a public beach).
The beach at Sandy Bottoms is uncrowded and unspoiled and one of the widest sections of beach on the Fort Morgan peninsula. The dunes are beautiful and majestic! The beach is not groomed, which means you can happily hunt for driftwood, seashells, and other treasures. You might spot dolphins swimming and frolicking in the surf, pelicans flying in formation, or blue herons or seagulls right on the beach. Relax, unwind, soak up the sun, frolic in the waves, surf fish, and watch nature. Enjoy gorgeous sunrises and sunsets during the day and star gaze at night to the dark sky!
For added safety and security for our guests, Sandy Bottoms has security cameras monitoring the entry and exit points. The cameras only show the entry, the driveway in front and the dunes in back. The cameras do not show any other exterior area where you may congregate while at the house. There are no cameras or recording devices inside the house. Your privacy and enjoyment are important to us!
***Please note that an electronically signed rental agreement is required to confirm a reservation. The rental agreement will be sent via DocuSign by the owner / manager. Reservation is not confirmed until the rental agreement is signed.***
We fell in love with the location! So unique! It is so peaceful, quiet and uncrowded! We never thought we could be so close to the beach. The beach and Gulf of Mexico are just steps away! Although the beach is public, our beachfront is only shared by 4 houses. You will not have any problem staking out an uncrowded space of your own. The view from the deck, living room and master bedroom is gorgeous - sand, dunes and blue-green water! So relaxing and peaceful! We love sitting on the deck with a view of the water, just watching for sea gulls and dolphins, or maybe even the Blue Angels practicing right off the beach!
We strive to provide extra amenities not usually found in rental homes. Many of our guests have said our beach house is even better equipped than their own homes! We are attentive owners, and make frequent visits to our home to make sure it is well maintained, clean, updated and fresh.

We are beach people! We have visited many wonderful beaches in our 38 years of knowing each other. But none of them attracted us or felt more like the best home for us than Fort Morgan. We are casual and relaxed, and are more attracted to a laid back feel. That is why we chose Fort Morgan. We love the fact that you can see the beach from the road, and there are no high rise, high density condo buildings near Sandy Bottoms Beach House. Our area contains mostly modest, privately owned beach homes without the glitz and glamour of other beach resort areas. We enjoy the quiet and peaceful relaxation we feel when we are at the house. We absolutely love hearing the surf from the Gulf and the views are amazing! You can even see dolphins and sea birds right from our beach-front deck! We couldn't be happier owning a little slice of paradise! We love sharing our guest photos on our Sandy Bottoms Beach House Facebook page!
We had a great time at Sandy Bottoms! There were 4 adults; so we had more than enough room. The house is very comfortable, well kept and very clean! The kitchen is well stocked and organized. Light switches are labeled throughout the house so there is no guesswork required. The WiFi worked great. There is a wonderful view of the beach from the house, and it's just a short walk over the dunes to get to what feels like your own private beach. There is a nice sitting area outside with a swing, dining table and games, but it was incredibly hot the week we were there, so we didn't spend a lot of time outside other than at the beach. Thank you Vickie for being such a great host!

We loved the Sandy Bottoms beach house! The house is beautifully decorated and was the cleanest home we have ever stayed in while on vacation. The location was PERFECT. Most days we had the beach to ourselves. The owner made everything so easy for us! She was easy to communicate with and sent us every bit of information we could ever need regarding the house and the area. You will not regret staying at this home!

This was our first trip to Gulf Shores, we are so thankful that we found Sandy bottoms to stay at. The location is perfect with basically a private beach that is not crowded whatsoever, a great view for a sunset, and only 15 minutes away from the main city.!! This property had all the amenities we needed to enjoy our week without thinking, we forgot anything, and it was very very clean! Thank you Vicki for hosting such a great place!

Plenty of room for my wife and three grandsons Just a few steps over the dunes to the beach.. The owner, Vickie, made everything easy for check in, and plenty of information for everything for our stay. Looking forward to coming again next year!

We loved our stay at Sandy Bottoms!! There was plenty of room for all 6 of us. The house is roomy, comfortable, and quiet. The kitchen has everything you need! We ate most meals on the deck. We loved the deck furniture and listening to the waves. The master is very roomy with a large walk in closet. The WiFi worked great! My brother-in-law was able to work online no problem. The lighting inside and outside was wonderful! There were even lights on the stairs. We loved seeing dolphins, the very quiet beach, and we saw the Blue Angels!! We enjoyed eating at Sassy Bass- just down the road. The beach is so nice and peaceful. It was not crowded at all. The beach is very close. Just walk over two dunes and there it is! I will say- it’s a good work out. Lol! But well worth it. (I’m a little out of shape) Vickie is wonderful and kept in touch throughout the process. We are already planning our next trip! Sandy Bottoms is perfect! You will love it!

The property is excellent. Very clean and updated. Beds are so comfortable and location is so nice. We had the beach to ourselves most of our week. Check in super easy and Vickie is great! The dunes are so pretty. We loved the outside of the house! Corn hole boards, rocking chair and swing. So so nice!!!
Stayed June, 2023
We enjoyed Sandy Bottoms for the 2nd time! My family loves that the beach area is not crowded. It’s like having your own beach! The house is very nice and well kept. The bed in the Master Bedroom was very comfortable. The grandkids loved the corn hole and ring toss. The area beneath the house is very nice for these games or for reading. The enclosed shower as you come off the beach is great with hot and cold water. We’ve enjoyed Sassy Bass and Tacky Jacks which are restaurants nearby. All the Gulf Shores shops and Walmart are only 20+ minutes away. We may return next year!????

We travel to Fort Morgan/Gulf Shores almost every year, and love this area! This house was perfect for a family of 6! Very clean, great views, great location, and it seemed like we had our own personal beach (main reason we love Fort Morgan)☀️????????⛱️
