This cozy nautical cottage is located on a large, secluded, wooded lot about halfway down the Ft Morgan peninsula. The shady moss covered oaks in the back yard give way to a lovely view of Mobile Bay . Relax on the large screened porch or take a short walk down to the Bay. In addition, the cottage is located only two miles from the Mobile Street access to the Gulf of Mexico where there is free parking and a boardwalk over the dunes to soft white sandy beaches that are perfect for swimming, fishing, walking or shelling. Neat, clean, attractively decorated. Fishermen will love having room to park their boat and the short distance to public launching. Charter fishing close by.
Spend your days exploring the nearby attractions, such as the stunning Ft Morgan beaches, historic Fort Morgan, and the lush Gulf State Park, all within a short drive. Bike or walk along the new Bike Path currently under construction from just past the house all the way into town. When you return to the cottage, you'll be greeted by a fully stocked kitchen, perfect for whipping up delicious meals. Enjoy your culinary creations at the dining table, or fire up the charcoal grill for an alfresco feast.
Unwind in the cozy living room, where you can catch up on your favorite shows on the smart TV with satellite/cable channels. For a bit of entertainment, dive into the selection of games, books, and DVDs available. And when it's time to retire for the night, you'll find comfortable accommodations with a king sized bed plus a queen in the second bedroom. With one full bath, air conditioning, a screened porch with a Bay view you will have all the essential amenities you need.
Guests who bring their dog will find it very convenient to let Fido out into the fenced yard to play.
Golfer's Paradise: Who could ask for more than a beach house and top of the line golf courses! The Peninsula Golf Club is located just four miles East. It features 18 holes, a pro shop, and restaurant. If you want to change things up a bit try the 36 holes of Pure Palmer Golf at Craft Farms, Cotton Creek, and Cypress Bend just an 15 minute drive away. Want more? Play Kiva Dunes or the Golf Club of the Wharf; both are just five miles away.
Fishermen welcome: For avid fishermen who want to bring their boat to the beach but avoid the high cost of properties with piers and docks, this cottage is perfect. The large yard has room for parking a boat and a public launch is just minutes away. The Shell Banks Reef is just out in front of the property for great bay fishing. For those wanting to fish the Gulf of Mexico, a launch a little further down makes getting into the gulf a short and easy trip.
Don't have a boat? Charter fishing services are close by. What could be easier!
