About this property
Morgantown w/ Pools and Tennis!
The Highlights
Sunshine on my Shoulders is a custom 4 bedroom, 4 bath beach home decorated with coastal elegance. The oversized kitchen and living areas were designed to accommodate a large group in comfort and other custom features include granite counters and tile surrounds throughout. Relax in a rocking chair or dine at the table on the back porch enjoying the sounds of the gulf. This home is designated for families. Pro-Tip: One of the two neighborhood pools in on the way to the beach so plan to stop for a dip!
The Space
Guests really appreciate the modern furnishings and touches. Solid surface flooring throughout and soft neutral colors provide the perfect retreat for a restful beach vacation. Three King bedrooms with private baths are furnished with memory foam mattresses. The bunk room provides sleeping for 7, with a trundle available, and a private bath. Triple twin bunks and double full bunks all also have memory foam mattresses.
* Renter must be at least 25 years of age. Guests under 25 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
*. For you added safety there are cameras located under the house near the entrance door.
Fort Morgan and Morgantown
Morgantown is a lovely, unique seaside community featuring two swimming pools, a kiddie pool, two lighted tennis/pickleball courts and several beach access boardwalks. When you first arrive, you'll notice pride of ownership in this pastel colored, beautifully landscape neighborhood. Guests really enjoy walking and biking along the quiet streets and many rent golf carts and enjoy sunset drives. If you have small children or just prefer the convenience of parking close to the beach, there is a public lot just to the west of Morgantown.
Located a scenic 15 miles from Gulf Shores, you'll find everything you need close at hand. Dollar General and Sassy Bass Market are just a few miles away and have all the basics you might need. There are several restaurants nearby offering a variety of tasty dishes. Tacky Jack's, Sassy Bass (2 locations), Coast and brand-new Jesse's (opening soon) to name a few. Some venues even offer live, local entertainment.
Fort Morgan fishing pier is now open, and anglers will have access to convenient inshore fishing and the abundant species locally available.
Be sure and visit nearby Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge with over 7,000 acres of coastal habit. You'll be able to hike through the preserve and observe local flora and fauna. There are 4 trails, varying in size and terrain and you'll definitely want to make time to visit this natural oasis.
Main floor: (King) w/ bath & balcony access -- (King) w/ bath -- (King) w/ bath -- (Full/Full) & (Twin/Twin/Twin) bunk room w/ bath -- (Sleep Sofa). (Bunkbeds recommeded for children and have weight restrictions per manufacturer. 100 lb per twin/120 lb per double).

We had two families coming together with 7 kids and this house worked just perfectly for us. The bunk room was an awesome space for them to all be together. The back patio was perfect for all of us to spread out and many crafts, games and activities were accomplished out there.
Just what we needed.

My total family of 12 enjoyed our stay at Sunshine On My Shoulders. The house was clean, and we loved having a bathroom for every bedroom. Dee Dee was very helpful and we loved our stay! The beach was not crowded and beautiful as always. Looking forward to next year!!
The property was nice. We had a couple of issues, the floor was dirty, our feet turned black when walking barefoot; the bed in one of the bedrooms was broken and we had to remove the mattresses to fix it; there was a ton of sand that we washed off ourselves in the carports and the brother in law appeared a lot and seemed to be watching us, especially on check out day while we were loading up. He sat on a golf cart across the street and watched us load our vehicles. That made us feel uncomfortable. The location was nice, loved the roominess of the house, easy access to pools and beach. The porch outside was wonderful.

Everything about our stay here was wonderful. We’ve stayed in several houses here in Morgantown and this was by far our favorite. It was so clean and decorated perfect. We loved that each bedroom has its own bathroom! The open floor plan is perfect for a large family like ours. The only thing that would have made it better would have been if the rental included a golf cart. My parents are older and the walk was a little tough on them. We will be back!

The overall stay at Sunshine on your shoulders was good and I would stay again. The only thing I didn’t like was we could not adjust the air at all. It had a lock code on it and was locked from guest adjusting the air. Also the washer was out but the property manager got a new one in the house in just day and it was a really quick process to swap out. We had a great time overall and the house was very beautiful.
host was welcoming, place was as advertised, well stocked and we had everything we needed in the place for a beautiful Thanksgiving celebration with our family.
We had a wonderful long weekend! The House was beautiful and we had a great time!
Loved walking to the beach and the pools and the weather was amazing!
We brought our 3 kids under 6 along with our friends who also have 3 kids under 6. This house is perfect. No inside stairs, plenty of places to sleep and plenty of space and bathrooms. An easy walk to beach and pool. We love Fort Morgan!
House was exactly what we were looking for. It has a great location not to far of a walk to beach and pools for the kids. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable.

We came down for a few days during Fall break. The house was beautiful and super clean. It was the perfect distance from the beach and everything was better than expected.
Dee Dee was very friendly and helpful. House was nice and clean. The four bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for our entire family to be together pool and beach within walking distance. I give it an over all rate of ten.

We absolutely loved our stay at Sunshine on my Shoulders. The house was very nice. Accommodated our family of 12 well. The four bedrooms with their own bathrooms was great. There is plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked with all the things needed for preparing meals. The pool by the house had been updated since our last visit and we got to enjoy that. We will definitely be back

We enjoyed our stay at Sunshine On My Shoulders! The location is great, with just a short walk to the pool and to the beach. We loved the layout of this house, and the spacious common areas were great for everyone to spend time together. The oven is new, and we had everything we needed to cook meals at the house. One thing we didn’t realize beforehand is that the thermostat has to stay at 72 degrees to keep the unit from freezing up. Many in our family are hot sleepers, so we will bring fans if we stay here again. Overall we had a great stay!

We had a great stay here. You really can't beat the layout for multiple families. A short walk down the street to the beach that is maybe two or three blocks. We actually loaded the back of the truck up and dropped everyone off then the driver would walk back. The pool is only one block away. Enough parking under cover for at least 4 vehicles. A private bathroom for each room. We would definitely go back again.

Great space for the entire family. My wife and I took our three grown kids, their spouses, and our six grandkids, and we had a great time. Plenty of room, and the house was spotless and nicely decorated. I would like to have more water pressure in the master shower. That would be my only complaint. I would stay there again as access to the beach, and pool was easy since I could bring my golf cart. But not a far walk either.
