Welcome to Captain Morgan’s Fort – a breezy stilted beach cottage with Gulf views and a huge wraparound sun deck!
Captain Morgan’s Fort is a classic Gulf Shores beach cottage on stilts, wrapped in a sun deck that faces the water and glows at sunset. Inside, a vaulted great room, a warm wood kitchen and three bedrooms make room for the whole crew, while the sand sits just a short walk away. Guests can also purchase access to the neighboring Beach Club — heated indoor lap pool, beachfront outdoor pool, arcade game room and sport courts — for an additional daily fee (details below).
🏖️ Living Room 🏖️
☀️ Vaulted Great Room: Soaring ceilings, recessed lighting and stained-glass accent windows make this open living space feel bright all day long.
☀️ Room for Everyone: Three roomy sofas gather around the wall-mounted Smart TV so nobody gets stuck without a seat on movie night.
☀️ Water Views: Big windows pull in Gulf views and sea breezes, with ceiling fans and central A/C keeping things cool.
🏖️ Kitchen & Dining 🏖️
☀️ Fully Equipped Kitchen: Wood cabinetry, slate counters and a hand-painted beach tile backsplash surround a full range, oven, microwave, dishwasher and French-door fridge with ice and water.
☀️ Coffee Two Ways: Drip and single-serve coffee makers, an electric kettle, blender and toaster have mornings covered before the beach run.
☀️ Farmhouse Dining: The rustic table with bench seating fits six-plus under a chandelier beside the water-view windows.
☀️ Breakfast Bar: Four stools keep the cook company for snacks, card games and sunset cocktails.
