Forget the elevators and extended hallways. This small community of single/duplex cottages is nestled at the edge of the Bon Secour National Wildlife Preserve and across the street from the beach (beach is approximately 0.4 mi.).

Approximately 20 minutes from Gulf Shores, The Rookery captures the perfect blend of nature. The Rookery hosts plenty of community activity including a large, zero-entry pool, covered gazebo, hot tub, tennis court, and community grilling area with picnic tables. The unit is professionally cleaned and has 2 bedrooms with queen-size beds and 3rd bedroom with twin beds, 4 satellite TV’s (in living room and all bedrooms (Smart TVs in living rm and master bedroom) VCR & DVD and all major appliances incl. washer, dryer, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator w/ice maker, small appliances (coffee maker, blender, toaster, crock pot, iron & board, blow dryer).

Parking passes (guest registration certificates) are required to be displayed on all vehicles and trailers (not required on golf carts). Two parking passes are provided with each reservation. Additional passes are available at $50 each Overflow parking available for additional vehicles.

ACTIVITIES: Golf Courses, Wave Runner Rentals, Water Parks, Gulf Coast Zoo, Putt Putt Golf, Dinner Cruises, Shopping at Outlet Malls and The Wharf, Various Festivals (seasonal) & Night Life. Tour historic Fort Morgan just a few miles away or take the ferry over to Dauphin Island for a visit to the Dauphin Island Estuary. Several restaurants, a marina and boat dock are nearby. Nearby along Fort Morgan Road is the scenic Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge.. a haven for nature lovers.

COTTAGE: The full-size kitchen has a stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and garbage disposal. Dishes and linens are provided, (also toaster, blender, crock pot, deep fryer, large lobster pot, & blow dryer) and full size washer and dryer.

All on one level, there is easy access to the cottage with convenient parking. The outdoor porch area is screened with table, 4 chairs, 2 stools, 2 ceiling fans and roll-up shades. Block patio near entrance with adjacent water spigot - a great place to wash off all the sand. Plenty of sandy area around the patio for children to play, as well.

THE ROOKERY COMMUNITY: The Rookery was designed to be a natural and quiet resort and is located adjacent to the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. This is a wonderful place for kids to play and swim. The large pool has a zero-entry access where little ones can wade and walk right into the shallow end with no steps to climb. This pool has a hot tub, as well as a covered gazebo area and a large poolside bathroom. There is a community grilling area with picnic tables and a tennis court. There are three public beach accesses nearby.

Ft Morgan Beach vacation

This was a great house. The furniture was very comfortable as well the beds were great. The kitchen had a large selection of cooking items. Our unit was very close to the pool which was great, large with plenty of seating around. It was just a short drive to the beach which was very nice, not crowded. i would recommend this to anyone looking to stay in Ft. Morgan Beach.

A darling cottage

We arrived on Friday, checked in the minute. We walked in the Door we were all in awe of how beautiful this little cottage was. It's perfect if you like to stay in the quiet area. Each bedroom was the perfect size.The bathrooms were great. You're still not far from any action that goes on around you. If you've never stayed here, you need to stay at least once. The cottage is gorgeous and the manager is awesome to deal with

The home was very comfortable and welcoming

The home was great, plenty of room for everyone, the kitchen was well stocked, the owner had everything there you could need. The only negative issue was the housekeeping had only left 2 washcloths in the master bath, plenty of towels but we made it work without bothering the owner. It was a nice place to stay.

The property was actually better in person. The pool is great to have zero entry easy access. It was right by our cottage. Short drive to Orange Beach and Gulf Shores with many options for restaurants and activities. I love that it is away from the hustle and bustle of the more populated areas. Fort Morgan is a must see.

Great stay just outside the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores.

Our family enjoyed the home and amenities on the property. The pool was close and perfect for kids of all sizes. The ocean was a 4 minute bike ride away and was quite and less crowded than your typical gulf shores beach. There are a few places to eat and a small store at the local restaurant all a bike ride away. We hope to go back in the future! Thanks for sharing your space with us Carol!

Amazing Stay.

Everything was absolutely wonderful at this property. I will suggest if you like to sleep cold- turn the air down as soon as you arrive at your stay. It’s just so warm in the summer time it takes time to cool down. The public beach is just a short little 5 minute walk. However, if you have things like umbrellas and chairs to bring. The public parking is not far at all. Very nice stay and appreciate Carol for all of the advice for us staying in the area for our first time.

Short Distance Walking Made for Great Trip!

The cottage was not only perfect for our girl's getaway but ideal for someone like me with walking difficulties. I chose this cottage due to it being one story and parking available steps from the front door. There were a few steps to climb to enter the cottage, but those were not an issue for me. In addition, we were very close to the pool, so my friends could walk if they wanted, but we also had the option to drive and park close to the pool gate. It was just three of us, so we each had our own bedroom. Having two bathrooms was nice, and we liked the layout of the cottage. The owner sent emails in advance with detailed information about the cottage and Fort Morgan area, which was much appreciated. I would definitely go back.
