What guests say
This is our first time staying in Rookery 3. We have stayed previously in Rookery 1 & 2 and other areas in Fort Morgan. The area is exactly what we wanted. It is not a crowded beach or area and dogs are allowed on the beach. We like to go on morning and afternoon walks on the beach with our dog, so this is important on where we look to vacation. It is about a 20 minute drive to Gulf Shores, so we always prepare in advance for this. There are several public places to drive and park to go to the beach. It is a 2 minute drive. The neighborhood has a couple of pools that you can use during your stay. We would recommend this area and plan on staying here again in the future.
We enjoyed our stay so much! The beach access on Cortez street was so close and easy to get too! We were about 30 minutes from the Gulf Shores strip and it was nice to have the separation of the hustle and bustle! It was truly a peaceful spot, the pools were awesome, quiet little spot. Neighbors will help you if you need it and let you know where you can’t park. Overall great experience!
Our stay here was great! The beds were comfy and the beach was only 3 minutes away. The pools were also a favorite for my family! Martha was very nice and quick to respond to me! I had messaged her about a minor inconvenience and she showed up at the front door with a solution! This is where we will stay with any future vacations, my kids really loved the bunk bed layout. We felt right at home here! 10/10
This house is amazing, the hosts are on top of everything. The beds are comfortable and we really hate to leave because it was so marvelous!! I'd recommend this place to everyone.
We had a great stay, quiet neighborhood and walkable to the pool. The place was exactly as pictured and had everything we needed. Host was responsive and check in/out was a breeze.
Martha is an amazing host! Her home is beautiful and just as pictured! Our family had the best time and will definitely be back! Fort Morgan is the perfect spot, right down the road from town but on the outskirts where it’s pretty and feels like home! The beach isn’t crowded, perfect place for our family!
