Bright Waves
Fort Morgan
Fort Morgan Peninsula • Gulf Shores, Alabama
A sun-soaked 4BR retreat with private heated pool, steps from the Gulf.
Book NowClose Your Eyes and Feel It
The sound of the Gulf rolling in the distance. The warm Alabama sun on your skin. The smell of coconut sunscreen and salt air. You step outside, coffee in hand, and your kids are already splashing in the heated pool — laughing, shrieking, completely free.
Inside, the open floor plan draws everyone together — sunlit and spacious, with room for all 12 of you to be in the same space without tripping over each other. Gather around the farmhouse kitchen island for breakfast, spill into the living room for a movie night, or linger at the dining table long after dinner. Come bedtime, the adults retreat to one of three king bedrooms. The two en-suite primaries each have a private bath and east-facing balcony that makes waking up feel like a boutique hotel stay. A third king bedroom sits just steps down the hall. And the kids? They’ve already claimed the bunk room — two triple-bunk setups that make it feel like summer camp, in the absolute best way.
Later, you’ll walk three minutes to the sugar-white sand, barefoot, toes sinking in, not a care in the world. As the sun dips below the horizon, the fire pit glows, the outdoor movie rolls, and everyone is right where they’re supposed to be. This is what vacation is supposed to feel like — and Bright Waves Fort Morgan was built to give you exactly that.

"Home was beautiful and the hosts were absolutely amazing — the most responsive I’ve had and I’d give them 10 stars if I could. The AC went out during our stay with 6 kids. The host responded at 9pm within 10 minutes and someone was there to fix it within the hour. The house was very clean and had everything our crew needed. Would definitely visit again."
"Thank you for providing a clean, safe, and beautiful home for our family and young kids! The beach is just a brief walk down the road and the private pool was fantastic. Kitchen had everything we needed and the laundry room is conveniently placed. Beds and pillows allowed for good sleep and the living room was big enough for kids to play and parents to relax. Thank you!"
"Place was exactly as described. Beautiful home, heated pool was a bonus. Short walk to the beach and the neighborhood was peaceful. Coffee shop (Selah) 3.5 miles up the road, Tacky Jacks restaurant and Pelican’s Ice-cream shop less than a mile from the house. Would recommend staying here!"
"The house was beautiful & clean. They had everything we needed. I loved the layout because my one-year-old grandson could take naps & not be disturbed. The heated pool was great! We would definitely come again & recommend it to everyone! Thanks Erin & Nick."
"Amazing place. Everything was EXACTLY like the pictures. Spacious, clean, and brand new! Great beach chairs, wagon, boards & beach items. Nice outdoor firepit near the pool. Inside there was a coffee/tea bar with everything needed — spices, everything you need is in the kitchen. About a 3 min walk to the beach. Soft sand with beautiful water. Would book again and again!"
"Fantastic stay at Bright Waves in Ft. Morgan! The house was super clean, an easy walk to the beach, and tucked away in a peaceful quiet area. Erin and Nick were amazing hosts — they truly went above and beyond with thoughtful extras, and the coffee bar was such a wonderful way to start each morning. Highly recommend this beach house!!"
"Our family frequents the beach and has stayed in many beach houses. Erin and Nick’s home makes beach going so easy. A stocked kitchen, laundry room supplies, bathroom supplies, games, indoor toys, beach toys, pool toys — if you need it, it’s there! I highly recommend heating the pool in cooler months. The outdoor movie setup was also a huge hit for the whole family!"
"My family & I stayed for spring break — 8 of us total! The house provided plenty of room. It was immaculate when we arrived & everything was as described. Our granddaughter loved the pool! We had cookouts on the grill a couple nights. The beach was an easy walk. It’s in a quiet area with a short drive to stores & restaurants. We will definitely be back!"
"Great house that was so close to the beach. We walked back and forth several times a day. Pool heater was nice on the colder days! Lots of amenities included like beach equipment and toys, cleaning supplies, and even dog treats. We would love to come back and stay again."
"Bright Waves was an outstanding place to stay! The home truly had everything — comfortable, well-equipped, and thoughtfully set up. The heated pool was the highlight for our group; the kids absolutely loved it and adults enjoyed it just as much. It made the whole stay feel like a little resort getaway. Would absolutely stay here again!"
"Outstandingly responsive hosts, beautiful space, and more amenities than I’ve ever seen in any rental. There was a remote we couldn’t find and the host immediately had a replacement delivered — way above and beyond. The kitchen is insanely well stocked. Kids loved the pool, fire pit, and outdoor projector. Would absolutely stay here again!"
"Erin and Nick were VERY responsive!! They wanted to make sure our stay was an enjoyable experience!! House was perfect for our family and we enjoyed the heated pool in Dec/Jan. Grandkids were thrilled to have books in the bedroom to read!!"
