Perfect Gulf Front Beach House *Beach Club Amenities*The Best of Both Worlds!
Enjoy the beautiful, unobstructed view from the large beachfront deck, or walk directly to beach and the fabulous Gulf waters. Watch for the dolphins when the Gulf is calm, and enjoy riding the waves with your boogie board when the surf is up!
Almost Heaven is a lovely direct Gulf front home with tile floors throughout and ceiling fans in all rooms. The furnishings are tasteful and comfortable.
The kitchen is fully equipped, including a full sized refrigerator, range, dishwasher, microwave, and small appliances including a crock pot, hot plate, hand mixer, blender, coffee maker, and more.
The living room has vaulted ceilings and a wonderful view of the beach and gulf from the sofa, chairs and two matching recliners. It also has satellite TV and additional televisions in three of the four bedrooms.
The fourth bedroom (two twin beds) has a smart tv for Netflix and other streaming services. All four bedrooms have large built-in chests of drawers and spacious closets.
Two bedrooms have King beds, one bedroom has a Queen bed, and the fourth has two twin-sized beds. We also have a Fisher-Price 3-n-1 travel portable crib and highchair. A queen sized sleeper sofa is available in the living area.
Linens and normal cleaning are included in the rental fee.
Parking is located under the home.

In addition, there is a soda fountain and delicious ice cream parlor at the Village Mercantile. You are a few miles from Jessie’s on the Bay, three Sassy Bass restsurants, and Tacky Jacks2.

While the house is lovely and very comfortable, the most impressive feature of Almost Heaven on the Beach is the front yard: white sand and the Gulf of Mexico.
The house itself is so relaxing. The view is incredible. Almost Heaven is designed to bring families together. It is close enough to 'town' to enjoy going out to dinner or souvineer shopping, but in a private neighborhood where you will enjoy your space and privacy. Enjoy getting to know each other again. That is what family vacations are for.

We had the best time....10/10 recommend! Great communication with host! She is warm and friendly - feels like we've been friends for years. This is our 2nd time staying here and we loved it just as much as the 1st.
This house was perfect for our family! We loved being right on the beach, very quiet neighborhood and most of the time we were the only ones on the beach! (Went in April) The house could use some upgrades but over all it was perfect for us!
Great location! We could walk to the beach easily. We were thankful for the beach toys and umbrella that we were able to use. Great view from the deck! The owner was so nice and helpful.
This is one well stocked kitchen and the hosts made other amenities available that made the visit so enjoyable. The beds were very comfortable! Would not hesitate to come back for another beach vacation. Absolutely love the Fort Morgan area!
Second.time staying at Almost Heaven. We had 7 people and there was plenty of space for all of us. The location is perfect and the house has new appliances and all of the kitchen items you could need. Only recommendation would be some additional cover on the back deck...will definitely stay at Almost Heaven again in the future.
This house was perfect for us. The location can’t be beat. The kids had a great time on the beach which was right out the back door. The kitchen was well stocked and it was nice having ice in the freezer when we got there. There was coffee and popcorn on the counter. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of seating in the family room. It would have been nice to have beach towels. I gave a four on cleanliness only because the baseboards could have used a good wipe down. We had a wonderful time. Melissa was quick to answer any questions I had. Not much you could do to improve
The lived-in but clean beach house was great for our family vacation with little kids. The house was clean, nicely furnished, and well loved so we never had to worry about the kids scratching the coffee table or the like. We only had to focus on spending good family time and the wonderful location in a peaceful location, not a resort area. The home is ON THE BEACH, so it wasnt anything for our 6 year old to run back from the beach and grab a beach toy by himself. All in, this place worked PERFECT for what we were going for.
Wonderful property steps from the beach. House has great layout and comes with everything you could need. Owners were great to communicate with. Would recommend and stay again if I come to the area.
We enjoyed our time at this house! The wonderful views and literal ocean view was amazing. The owners were wonderful and communication was on point! Would definitely stay here again, only complaint is you can tell it’s an older home!
We had a wonderful time at Almost Heaven. Great house for our crew and the beach right outside your door is awesome. We also enjoyed the resort pool and played pickleball every morning there. Missy, is the best at communicating with us and helping us through everything. We will deff return.

Wonderful beach home with terrific view!
The owners are super nice and easy to work with. The beach cottage has a great layout, convenient location and terrific view! We will definitely rent the cottage again!
Excellent beachfront location with direct access to the beach. Home was perfect for a beach vacation, and the beach infront of the house had so few people it felt like it was private. Communication with the host was excellent. “Almost Heaven” is definitely top of the list for next summer.
We have stayed here multiple times over the last 15 years. Each time our hosts and the property have exceeded our expectations. Being right on the beach is just the beginning. The house contains everything you need for a comfortable stay and fabulous vacation!
We enjoyed our Spring Break at Cabana Beach. The beach house had plenty of space for a family of six. Fantastic view and great beach right off the deck. The weather was good but not great during the week we stayed so it was nice to have the option for Beach Club access. Very nice indoor/outdoor pools and fitness facilities. Overall, would definitely recommend the beach house.
This house was perfect for our family vacation. The house was well loved which made things less stressful because we weren't worried about the smallest thing. The owners were fantastic. There was an issue with the tv and they were on it immediately. We will absolutely be booking with them for any future stays in Gulf Shores.
with the tv and they were right on fixing it

Heaven is an Understatement!
This is the most wonderful beach home on the Alabama Gulf Coast. They had to send the sherriff out to make us leave. I offered them one of my kids to let us stay another day.
This beach house was exactly what my family needs each year. With over a decade of staying in crowded Gulf Shores, this house was a perfect fit. We needed a beach front view, 4 bedrooms, and nothing too crowded on the beach. This place checked all the boxes! Quiet neighborhood and not too far to drive if wanting to get to the reqular stops for food and shopping in Gulf Shores. We would highly recommend.
We had the best time! This property is perfect and I’ve made a new friend with the property owner Missy! She’s an angel and is the absolute best to work with! This was our first visit to her home but definitely won’t be our last! It is right on the gulf and was clean as a pin! Y’all won’t be disappointed to book this home!
Almost heaven is a slice of heaven on the beach. The house exceeded expectations, there was plenty of room for all guests, the living room looks out into the water and plenty of setting area and the deck is spacious for all to gather and watch dolphins swim by in the morning. Missy, the owner was absolutely an angel, she answered all my questions so promptly and sweetly. I will be staying here again, I highly recommend this house. Oh, and the dressers in each bedroom are big for people who overpack like myself.
