We have been vacationing in Gulf Shores since 1979 and have never enjoyed a more beautiful beach or encountered more genuinely nice people!
Look no further for your next vacation beach house. Southern Attitude has it all! We stayed here in July 2024 with four adults and six kids ages 4-12. We had the best time! The beach is very accessible with a flat walk and not very far at all. You can see it from the deck. The pools are also nice with one being very close. The owners have taken the time to give great directions and also stocked the house with everything you need to make meals including grilling. There is plenty of space for families and groups. The best part of this house is the lower level. There’s a closet full of everything you need for the beach - wagons, chairs, sand toys, floats, tent, and more! There’s also a space to clean up after a day at the beach including a hose. The Fort Morgan and Gulf Shores areas are a great place to visit and this house makes everything better and easier!

We loved our stay at Southern Attitude! The house was absolutely beautiful and very clean. It was exactly what we needed for our family/friend group of 10, including four kids between ages 3-10. The bunk room was perfect for the kids and each couple had a comfortable king size bed. Since there were 3 bathrooms, each family had their own to use for the week which was very nice. There is a laundry basket in each bedroom, which is helpful to have! The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, utensils and anything you need to cook a meal (including a crockpot). There was also a nice charcoal grill and supplies for grilling (charcoal, lighter fluid, lighter, etc.). The house was very close to the beach access and to one of the swimming pools. The other pool and tennis courts were a quick drive away but also not too far to walk (maybe 5 minutes at a casual pace). We brought our own beach chairs and canopies, but if we had not there would have been plenty of beach umbrellas and chairs in the closet. There were also two carts for hauling everything to the beach and lots of beach toys. One of our favorite things about the house were the large front porches! The upstairs porch was screened-in and the main level front porch was not. You can see and hear the ocean from both, and it was wonderful to sit outside enjoying the view. There is also a nice screened in porch at the back of the house. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Southern Attitude located in Morgantown neighborhood of Ft Morgan was fantastic for our family of 8. Kitchen was well equipped with nice pots/pans and plenty of glass & plastic dishes. Three porches(2 screened) with comfortable furniture to enjoy the outdoors. LOTS of beach/pool supplies in good working order in the closet on lower level. Outdoor enclosed shower with hot & cold water made keeping sand outside so much easier. Clotheslines to hang wet suits so helpful. Hose available to hose off toys & chairs. We would definitely stay here again!

The beach house is absolutely beautiful!! The owners have thought of everything! Beach tents, chairs, sand toys and carts to pull it all to the beach, which is a very short walk. They have a high chair, booster seat, baby gates for the stairs and a pack and play for littles. Lots of games too play. The best part is they answer when you need something!! Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your home! We hope to be back soon! The Hillemeyer family

Melanie's property was just as described. The house was very clean and spacious. The kitchen was stocked better than any rental property I've visited. The pool and beach were beautiful! Melanie was easy to work with and very responsive.

The house was lovely and very clean. Just the right size for our extended family of eight. Quiet and easy access to the beach with lots of beach accessories included. Within 20 minutes of great restaurants and family entertainment. Our host was very helpful and easy to work with. Would highly recommend this property!

The house was great! Easy to find. Very clean. Tons of kitchen ware to use, even tupperware for leftovers. Bedrooms had plenty of pillows and blankets and closets had extras. Air-conditioning worked fantastic. The owner had pictures posted for easy placement of items. Beach access was super easy to find and use from the house. There was a dollar general just minutes from the house too!

We loved the property. House was beautiful, spacious, clean, easy access to the beach and pool. The area was very quiet and off the beaten path which is what we were looking for. Gulf Shores was close when we needed to go into town for something. We loved our stay and will probably stay here again in the future. The owner Melanie was great with communication and helped out a lot. They had everything we needed for the beach at the house already. It was a great vacation!

We recently stayed a week in this home, and I can’t say enough about how amazing our stay was. The home was immaculate, and equipped with any and everything you could possibly need during a beach vacation. I honestly have never stayed at a home where I didn’t have to go get items due to not having them at the place we were staying. This home was just gorgeous and in the best neighborhood. It was quiet and peaceful. The beach was literally steps in front of the house, and closer actually than most condos I’ve stayed in the past. We had a large group, and still had enough beach chairs for all. We didn’t need one thing of our own for a day on the beach as it is all provided. I just can’t say enough about this home. And even better - the owner (Melanie) is an absolute sweetheart. She was available anytime I had a question. She was so kind. If your looking for a great home for a large group at the beach -this is where you need to stop looking. Trust me - you want regret it. It’s the best place we’ve stayed in, and been going for 46 years. Thanks Melanie for a top notch vacation. We will be booking this again for our next beach trip.

Vacations for my family must be stress-free and include all the comforts of home. Southern Attitude has everything we needed to enjoy vacationing right on the gulf. A short walk to the beach is made easy with the beach cart and very nice chairs and umbrellas that are provided by the host. This home is in the front section of Morgantown and is exceptionally nice offering 3 large bedrooms that each have king size beds Yes, I said KING size! A fourth bedroom has two sets of very sturdy bunk beds and the entire home is very tastefully decorated! The owners were readily available to answer my questions and offer great places to eat! There are many grocery stores close by. I'll suggest placing a pick-up order for groceries in advance at Walmart. This convenience kept me from packing up my entire pantry and fridge as I have previously and painfully done! You need space to spread out your large family? This is it! There is over 4 areas to sit outside and comfortably relax at this home and that's a true Southern Attitude!
