About this house rental

South of Somewhere - Where the Road Ends and Vacation Begins

There comes a point on Fort Morgan Road where the traffic fades away, the high-rises disappear, and the Gulf begins to set the pace.

That's when you know you've arrived.

Welcome to South of Somewhere, a beachfront retreat where uncrowded sugar-white beaches, a private pool, thoughtful luxury upgrades, and unforgettable sunsets create the kind of vacation guests return to year after year.

This is the Gulf Coast the way many remember it—before crowded beaches, endless traffic, and towering condos. Here, the pace is slower, the beaches are wider, and the sunsets feel a little more personal.

Wake up to the sound of waves rolling onto shore. Spend your afternoons floating in the pool, searching for shells along the beach, or relaxing on the porch with a cup of coffee. End your evenings gathered with family and friends while fresh Gulf seafood cooks on the grill, frozen drinks are blended, and another sunset fades into the horizon.

For a little while, let South of Somewhere become your home on the Gulf.

Beachfront Living

One of the greatest luxuries of South of Somewhere is stepping outside and having the Gulf as your backyard.

No crowded elevators.

No parking garages.

No fighting for beach space.

Just beautiful white sand, emerald water, and room to breathe.

Fort Morgan remains one of Alabama's best-kept secrets, offering a quieter and more authentic beach experience than the busier resort areas farther east.

During nesting season, you may even be lucky enough to witness one of Fort Morgan's most magical experiences—baby sea turtles emerging from their nests and making their first journey toward the Gulf.

Private Pool Paradise

The private pool quickly becomes the center of vacation life.

Measuring 12' x 28' with a consistent depth of 4'4", it's perfect for swimming, floating, games, and cooling off after a day in the sun.

Surrounded by a spacious pool deck, teak dining table and plenty of seating, it's easy to spend entire days moving between the beach and the pool.

Many guests tell us the kids never wanted to leave.

As the sun sets and the moon begins to rise, gather poolside while fresh Gulf shrimp steams, the grill sizzles, and frozen drinks are blended. These are the moments that become vacation memories.

Whether you're preparing fresh Gulf seafood, a holiday meal or breakfast before the beach, you'll find everything you need.

After a day on the beach, rinse off the salt and sand, fire up the grill and enjoy dinner beneath the coastal sky.

House was well kept, kitchen had all new appliances, a large ice maker, and a large beverage cooler. Washer and dryer seem a little dated, but very functional. Beds were very comfortable and the rooms were nicely decorated, but not overly so. The best feature was the private pool, which was definitely worth a lot to our family with small children. It was nice to walk 3-5 minutes to the beach, have our fun there, and return to the outside shower to rinse off so we could get into our private pool!! It was so nice being in a secluded area with what felt like our own private beach!

We love our time spent at the turtle crawl, such a perfect location and having our own pool was amazing!! We will definitely be back!

Great house for the beach! Not on the beach but only steps away! Well equipped with everything you could need. The house is located the perfect distance away from all the hustle and bustle but takes no time to get to stores and shopping.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
Poolside would have been more comfy with pads on the wooden loungers. Would have been nice to have a rail to get in. There are nice steps in the pool, but a few of us oldies needed someone to help us get in.There were no soaps, other than a jar of handsoap , which we shared with the kitchen.The 3rd bathroom is a shower under the house that reminded me of "MASH"No mailbox, so Amazon orders went back to Amazon.
