Just steps from the sand.
Your own heated pool.
Bright Waves Fort Morgan is a brand-new 4-bedroom beach house with a private heated saltwater pool, a fire pit, and an outdoor movie setup, all a short walk from Fort Morgan's quiet shoreline.
Close 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.
More than a beach house.
A reason to keep coming back.
Private Heated Pool
A private saltwater pool, heated on request for an additional cost. Step out, dive in, dry off on the sun deck, repeat.
Outdoor Movie Nights
A projector setup by the pool turns any evening into a family screening, with hammock seating and popcorn optional but recommended.
Fire Pit & Gas Grill
Fire up the grill for dinner, then gather around the outdoor fire pit as the Gulf breeze cools things down.
Pet-Friendly
Bring your four-legged travel companion. The fully fenced backyard gives them room to run between beach trips.
Cozy Bunk Room
Two custom triple bunk beds comfortably sleep up to six children, giving the kids a space that is entirely their own.

"This place is absolutely beautiful, clean, privacy from the public beaches were amazing for our first beach trip with kids. They have everything you could need for a day at the beach! Plus inside is stocked with toys and things for kids to do."
"Erin and Nick were outstanding hosts! The house was really clean and beautiful! The house was a very short walk to the beach. We were traveling with little kids so it was a big benefit that Erin and Nick provided beach toys, chairs, and a cart for us."
"Beautiful home, close to the beach and great hosts! Perfect getaway for my family!"
"Great stay!"
"We had a great time staying here!! The hosts were super friendly and responsive to our needs. The space felt new and clean. The beach was a short walk away and all of the beach and pool items held in the storage closet were a huge plus! We were able to bring our dogs too."
"The place was everything advertised and more. The hosts answered every question."
"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!!"
A short drive out,
the Alabama coast unfolds.
Bright Waves Fort Morgan sits in the quiet Fort Morgan area, close enough to reach Gulf Shores' beaches, restaurants, and attractions while staying away from the crowds.
Fort Morgan State Historic Site
Brick ramparts built before the Civil War still stand watch over the Gulf, close enough to reach before your coffee gets cold.
Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge
Sea oats lean into the wind along untouched dune trails, a quiet reminder of what this coastline looked like before anyone built anything on it.
Gulf State Park
Two miles of protected shoreline, a fishing pier that stretches into the horizon, and nature trails made for slow mornings and no set plans.
The Hangout
Live music, a giant sand pile, and fireworks over the water make this beachfront institution the closest thing Gulf Shores has to a landmark night out.

Gulf Shores Public Beaches
Sugar-white sand and emerald water stretch for miles through the heart of town, worth the short drive whenever you want a change of scenery.
Fort Gaines & Dauphin Island
Catch the passenger ferry across Mobile Bay from the marina down the road and step onto Fort Morgan's sister fortress, a slower, saltier way to spend an afternoon.
