Great Beach House

August 2023 - Gail

***** 5/5

We had a great time at Sandy Bottoms! There were 4 adults; so we had more than enough room. The house is very comfortable, well kept and very clean! The kitchen is well stocked and organized. Light switches are labeled throughout the house so there is no guesswork required. The WiFi worked great. There is a wonderful view of the beach from the house, and it's just a short walk over the dunes to get to what feels like your own private beach. There is a nice sitting area outside with a swing, dining table and games, but it was incredibly hot the week we were there, so we didn't spend a lot of time outside other than at the beach. Thank you Vickie for being such a great host! 

Perfect Beach House!

***** 5/5

We loved our stay at Sandy Bottoms!! There was plenty of room for all 6 of us. The house is roomy, comfortable, and quiet. The kitchen has everything you need! We ate most meals on the deck. We loved the deck furniture and listening to the waves. The master is very roomy with a large walk in closet. The WiFi worked great! My brother-in-law was able to work online no problem. The lighting inside and outside was wonderful! There were even lights on the stairs. We loved seeing dolphins, the very quiet beach, and we saw the Blue Angels!! We enjoyed eating at Sassy Bass- just down the road. The beach is so nice and peaceful. It was not crowded at all. The beach is very close. Just walk over two dunes and there it is! I will say- it’s a good work out. Lol! But well worth it. (I’m a little out of shape) Vickie is wonderful and kept in touch throughout the process. We are already planning our next trip! Sandy Bottoms is perfect! You will love it!

We travel to Fort Morgan/Gulf Shores almost every year, and love this area! This house was perfect for a family of 6! Very clean, great views, great location, and it seemed like we had our own personal beach (main reason we love Fort Morgan)☀️👙🌊⛱️ 

Wonderful Beach House

***** 5/5

This house was extremely clean, had everything we could possibly need in the kitchen, beautifully decorated, very close to the beach. The outdoor shower and several outdoor seating areas both sunny and shaded were wonderful too! We had a great time enjoying the quiet beach and playing games on the dining room table. Best beach house we've rented so far at Fort Morgan - highly recommend!

***** 5/5

We had a great stay at Sandy Bottoms. The house is immaculate with everything you need for your time there. enjoyed the outside siting areas. and the nice deck. Plenty of room for my wife and three grandsons Just a few steps over the dunes to the beach.. The owner, Vickie, made everything easy for check in, and plenty of information for everything for our stay. Looking forward to coming again next year! 

Family Birthday Fun

***** 5/5

In honor of my 40th and my father’s 70th, we enjoyed a relaxing week in Fort Morgan. The sunset views were breathtaking every night. The house is wonderful—very clean, well-appointed, and spacious. Communication before the trip had me completely prepared. The beach is just steps from the house. Under the house is a perfect hangout spot during the warm afternoons. There is ample seating in the shade. I highly recommend this property if you like being on a quiet, peaceful beach.

Perfect Exclusive Location

***** 5/5

This was our first trip to Gulf Shores, we are so thankful that we found Sandy bottoms to stay at. The location is perfect with basically a private beach that is not crowded whatsoever, a great view for a sunset, and only 15 minutes away from the main city.!! This property had all the amenities we needed to enjoy our week without thinking, we forgot anything, and it was very very clean! Thank you Vicki for hosting such a great place!

Awesome Location and Beautiful Spacious Home!

Great house with beautiful location...it had everything we needed and was set up to make you feel at home...we truly loved it!!! 

Absolutely Amazing!

August 2022 - Paula

***** 5/5

Let’s begin with Miss Vickie, she is a great hostess! She was wonderful about communicating her expectations, desires, and local info as well as helping with any questions I had. She was easy to reach and always responded in a timely manner! She was kind and so great to work with! Now, the house….it’s stellar! It’s spacious, beautifully decorated, clean, close to the beach, and the perfect spot for a beach vacation! It’s not on the main beaches or touristy spots, quieter and less busy, which we loved. So know, if you want to be in the heart of gulf shores, you’ll just need to drive about 15-20 minutes….but I promise, it’s worth it!!! It doesn’t get much better than this: a wonderful person to work with, in Vickie, and a stunning location on the beach!!!!! I would take my family back to Sandy Bottoms in a heart beat (and I don’t usually say that about places we’ve rented)! It was truly a blessing to get to spend our time in this house on the beach!!! 

Amazing Time! Perfect Location!

August 2022 - Rachel

***** 5/5

My family and I had an amazing time. The best part by far is the location. It felt like we were on our own private beach! It was very clean and quiet. The house was very clean upon arrival and the kitchen had everything we needed when we stayed in to eat. The beds were comfortable as well as the couch! Overall, a very positive experience! The communication was amazing, as well. We were sad to leave. 

Perfect for our family of 4!

July 2022 - Mandy

***** 5/5

We chose Ft. Morgan to get away from the crowds, especially on the holiday weekend. We loved the short walk to the beach where we had plenty of space to ourselves. We loved watching fireworks along the beach on the 4th. We enjoyed dinner at Sassy Bass and Tacky Jacks. It was also exciting to see dolphins, manatee, and sting rays while swimming in the ocean. I would recommend Sandy Bottoms to anyone looking for a more laid back beach experience! 

Best beach house we ever rented!

***** 5/5

The house was immaculate. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything imaginable. We felt like we were on a private beach due to the fact that it is in a more residential area. Great vacation!

Beautiful well kept home with a relaxing environment. The view and sound of ocean was so relaxing. Everything one needs is there. My husband and I so enjoyed our stay. There are restaurants close by yet also if one wants to stay in and cook or grill no problem. Can't wait to stay again. Thanks for your hospitality. 

Cute Beach House Over the Dunes!

April 2022 - Cheslea

***** 5/5

Vickie was a wonderful host providing excellent communication and a wealth of information. The house has a wonderful feel inside and outside with a quick walk to the beach over a couple of restorative dunes. Quiet of peaceful all around. The only issue we had was related to a housekeeping when we arrived, and Vickie was right on top of it and willing to take care of the issue. I would definitely recommend this getaway to a couple or small family and would return myself

This is a lovely beachfront home that is very tastefully decorated and finished. We enjoyed the view, proximity to the beach, smart TVs, and available delivery services. Check in and out was smooth. The location is very peaceful. We would stay again, and recommend.

Perfect Beach Home Away from Home

August 2021

***** 5/5

We had a wonderful week at Sandy Bottoms! The close access to the beach was perfect for us. The short walk made it easy for us to go to the beach multiple times a day with a 1 and 3 year old! The outdoor area around the house was perfect for relaxing, grilling, and hanging out. The house is fully equipped and well thought out. We prefer to cook and dine in for most meals. The kitchen has anything and everything a person could need. I especially appreciated the extra blankets kept in each of the bedroom closets, as well as the sufficient amount of hangers. We really enjoyed the private beach and lesser crowd that Fort Morgan had to offer The highlight of our trip was getting to watch a sea turtle nest hatch. Vickie made sure we knew what apps and text alerts to set up so we could keep up with the weather and currents. She also provided us with information to the local markets, stores, and restaurants. Sandy Bottoms is a beautiful home, that has anything and everything you could need! It’s the perfect location close to the beach front.

I could have lived on the back deck. The house is well-situated with a great view. The kitchen is perfectly appointed. All spotlessly clean upon our arrival. Great communication. The ocean and sky had many moods. Getting sand off wasn't a problem with the convenient outdoor shower. A gem. Will dream about it in the cold of Winter. Thank you!

We had a wonderful visit to Vickie's beach house. The house itself is perfectly renovated with comfortable furnishings. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything new could need. The beach itself is stunning and very quiet. We couldn't have had a better week and are hopeful to visit many times in the future. Don't hesitate to book this wonderful house!

***** 5/5

Just spent the most relaxing and fun week at sandy bottoms beach house! The house is immaculately clean, beautifully furnished, and extremely well appointed. My husband and I traveled with our 2 year old, and this area is very peaceful and family friendly. You can still experience all gulf shores has to offer without staying in the overcrowded strip. If you want a day away from the beach, the old fort was 10 minutes down the road and a must see! We cannot wait to come back again— I feel like I’ve found my happy place. Vickie was a great host, made the rental process painless from start to finish, and checked on us multiple times to make sure we were comfortable and had all we needed. Thank you Vickie!

Best Beach Trip Ever

August 2020

***** 5/5

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at Sandy Bottoms beach house. Every time we think this is the best beach trip ever.....then we go again. This trip was different than the other 2 in that it was a (grownups only) friends trip. The house is perfectly suited - each couple had their own room and plenty of common space as well. The beach is very private - don’t have to fight for your own space - ever. In the evenings we enjoyed cooking down below & hanging out where we could play corn hole & relax & visit. This might have been the best trip ever - but we will definitely be going back just to make sure!! Vickie is always very helpful and is full of information about the area. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise!! 

Perfect Getaway

***** 5/5

Sandy Bottoms was the perfect vacation spot for our trip with family and friends. The house was clean, comfortable, and well-equipt. The location was absolutely perfect - a quick walk to the beach with a great view of the beach. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the sunsets and utilizing the downstairs swing and chair when it was raining. We would absolutely return to Sandy Bottoms and look forward to planning another visit soon! 

Fantastic Getaway

August 2020

***** 5/5

 We had a great time at Sandy Bottoms. It's perfectly situated on some of the most beautiful white sand beaches I've seen. The area in front of Sandy Bottoms was relatively unoccupied except us and a couple of other families so social distancing was easy. Prepare to drive a ways to get groceries (we went to Rouses), but other than that, it was amazing. There are closer convenience type stores/restaurants which were actually pretty good. It is close to walking trails as well which were really enjoyable as well. Kitchen had everything we could ever need and more. You won't regret staying here.

No Crowded Beach

June 2020

***** 5/5

We have been staying in the Morgantown neighborhood and it has become very crowded on the beach. It was really nice to be there without anyone else crowding us! House is nice and clean. My favorite place is under the house in the sitting area with the bench swing. Nice cool breeze made sitting down there and reading a joy. Grandchildren fully utilized the outdoor shower, they are 5 and 9. 

Great House and Excellent Host

The house was extremely comfortable and very well appointed.   The kitchen has absolutely everything you need to cook, and the living space is nicely decorated and great for hanging out. The outdoor shower is fantastic, as is the entire outdoor area under the house. The owner is remarkable at providing information and following up on your stay. Highly recommend! 

Perfect Home Located at the Perfect Beach

June 2020

***** 5/5

This was a most perfect vacation! Vickie made us feel right at home and was there to help if there were any problems. (There weren't any!) The bedrooms were just the right size for the kids and the adults. The porch was perfect for those lovely nights to enjoy the ocean breezes and the family. The kitchen had all the amenities of home and there was nothing we needed. The queen size bedroom was perfect for the grownups and the living was great for the get togethers of fun. The beach was VERY private and there was no need to social distance as the folks that were there were few and far between. So the perfect environment for beach fun. Thank you Vickie! We will definitely look forward to another vacation at your lovely home. 

Absolutely Amazing Trip!

Spacious Rooms - Thoughtful Amenities

January 2020

***** 5/5

We spent a week at Sandy Bottoms over New Years and as usual it was outstanding. The new floors are beautiful and new sectional sofa is incredibly comfortable. The house has literally everything you could possibly want or need. Plus beautiful sunrises and sunsets. If you are lucky, the Blue Angels often practice right over the house. We always choose Sandy Bottoms any time we want some relaxing beach time.

My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at Sandy Bottoms. We brought a couple of our adult kids with us and really had a beautiful stay! The house is really a perfect set-up in every way and so comfortable! I’m a cook so I appreciated the ALL the kitchen appliances/gadgets! The beach is just a short walk over a couple of dunes and the crowds this time of year were pretty non-existent! It is a good 16 mile drive to ‘town’ so keep that in mind when booking! Thanks Vicki for sharing your home! We loved it!

Our family loved everything about Sandy Bottoms! We were desperately scrambling for a last minute booking after our previous one at another location was cancelled shortly before our trip. Vickie was so responsive, helpful, and nothing but accommodating. The house was clean and well stocked with kitchen appliances and extra amenities like the indoor and outdoor surround sound. We are so grateful to have stumbled upon this gem. Big thanks to Vickie and Sandy Bottoms for making our trip so wonderful! We will definitely be back!

This house provides a very comfortable location for relaxing at the beach. The house is clean, the kitchen is well-equipped, and there is ample outdoor seating on the deck and under the house next to the parking.

Loved this house and the owner was wonderful to work with too! I am telling everyone about what a great time me and my friends had here. The pictures don't do this house justice.

Thanks for the lasting memories.

Our  winter time home away from home!

February 2019

***** 5/5

This was our third year and loved our home away from home. We were extremely glad to escape the weather. The day we left it was -25, -55 wind chill. Sandy Bottoms was a welcome respite. Although the weather at this time of the year isn’t always ideal, unless it’s pouring rain, we could always walk on the beach. Having everything we could possibly need to cook our own meals is a big plus. We enjoyed lazy breakfasts and fancy Bloody Marys’ on the deck. When we felt the need to go out, the possibilities are endless, so many opportunities to try something new. My favorite meal is breakfast. We tried the Ruby Slipper in Orange Beach, 5 stars from me. It’s fabulous. And if you like homemade biscuits as big as your face - OMG! Another gem we found in Orange Beach was “Another Broken Egg” The proximity to the beach never gets old. This year we saw several fishing boats within view for about a week. The nearby trails are wonderful. Pine Beach and Gulf Shores State Park have so much to offer. On one of the trails we were happy to find an eagle’s nest. Could see the nest with two young ones and both parents as one flew off to get food while the other stood guard after young were fed. So much of Gulf State Park and other sites still to explore. My husband came across a saying he liked “ A shell in your pocket and sand in your shoes” Hey what more can you ask. 

Best Alabama Gulf Coast House

December 2018

***** 5/5

A wonderful stay at Sandy Bottoms for five days over New Year’s. What a lovely place to stay even when the weather isn’t perfect. We like to eat in and Sandy Bottoms has everything we needed to cook at home. I couldn’t imagine anything that we might need that isn’t provided.

Everything about the house is geared toward comfort with soft cozy blankets, comfy beds, an incredible kitchen, beautiful gulf sunsets, and uncrowded beach for miles. It is close enough to shopping and restaurants while still far enough to be private and secluded.

We will keep going back to Sandy Bottoms every chance we get.

Great in all seasons!

December 2018

***** 5/5

We just love this house year round! November, and December have a special place in our hearts for Fort Morgan, and we have been coming here for many years. It is serene and uncrowded, and when we went to the beach, we had it all to ourselves. Sandy Bottoms is warm, comfortable and has everything you need for an extended stay. 

Best Ever

November 2018

***** 5/5

We have rented beach houses on the East Coast in N.C., the Gulf Coast in TX., and the West Coast in Monterrey, CA. Sandy Bottoms is far and above the best for comfort, furnishings, and relaxation. It was as if someone actually lived in the house and just asked us to "house sit" for a few days. It seems that everything that you would want - or need - was there. Who can fault a beach house that has a Martini Shaker and Martini glasses! We had four wonderful days of R&R after a rough week and we loved every minute of it. The beach was a short walk out the back door (past the gazebo) and the sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. Wonderful food inn nearby restaurants and places to buy fresh seafood if you want to cook your own. The only thing we missed out on was the ferry as it was closed Thanksgiving Day and closed due to high winds on the day we left.

This is our second stay at Sandy Bottoms and it has definitely become our family favorite! The house is equipped with EVERYTHING you need so don't bother packing any extra cooking supplies because you won't need it!

Thank you for sharing your home with us and we look forward to visiting again soon!

This was our second stay at Sandy Bottoms and it was just as good as the first stay. The home has everything you could possibly need, fully equipped kitchen and short walk to the beach. This part of the beach is not as crowded as some of the areas with condos all around. We ate at Tacky Jack's 2 in Fort Morgan one night, good food and not a long wait. Vickie is awesome to work with great communication!

Such a perfect place for our family of 7 (4 adults and 3 kids) to stay for a week. Just a small walk to the beach with plenty of outdoor seating around the house to enjoy the shore!

We had a terrific time during our stay at Sandy Bottoms! The location was perfect and the family loved the privacy and beauty of the beach. The local restaurants were great and the kids loved the nearby Village Lawn activities and food trucks. We also enjoyed having wi-fi and access to movie channels for the little ones. The house had everything you could possibly need. We created amazing memories on our trip and plan on coming back next year! 

Great location and welcoming home

***** 5/5

Sandy Bottoms is well equipped in every regard. Kitchen is very well appointed with equipment and layout. Furniture is very comfortable inside and out. Drinking coffee in the a.m. On the deck while listening to ocean waves and watching all kinds of birds is the best! Location is removed from crowds, but close to amenities. If visiting with kids, check out free activities just down the road at Beach Club. Grandsons loved it. Best place we have ever stayed in Gulf Shores. Beach is close and not crowded. Owner was a joy to deal with. 

Had a great time and location was amazing!

May 2018

***** 5/5

The house was extremely well supplied with more then what we would need. It was comfortable and great for a family of 5! The shower downstairs was extremely helpful. I have already recommended this house to family and friends. The owners were great and timely in responses to questions about the area attractions, places to possibly rent beach equipment (I recommend you do this and not buy anything, they won’t hold up if windy), and silly questions from Midwest people who have never been to the ocean for a length of time lol. We will be returning soon. 

GREAT FAMILY VACATION!

May 2018

***** 5/5

I was looking for a beach house to rent for our week long family vacation.. Not sure where we really wanted to stay or even location but after looking and reading MANY reviews, we rented Sandy Bottoms and our decision could not have been any better! We brought our two grown daughters and their spouses and our 15 mo old grandson.. The beach was wonderful and the house was GREAT! Even when the weather was bad, there is plenty of room to have fun at the house. I can say that one of the things I love most is that we were comfy! The house makes you feel at home! Downstairs was wonderful and relaxing! The walk to the beach in just over the sand dune.. (That sand dune will give you a great workout - LOL).  We will be back for sure!

Thank you so much Vickie for letting us rent your beach house! It was amazing and we will be back!!

We had a wonderful time and the house was perfect!

The house was perfect for our family and had all the amenities we needed (linens, cooking and serving items, indoor/outdoor furniture items). We loved the outdoor shower for our son and Vickie provided great instructions for everything we needed in and around the house. It was very clean (I’m a neat freak) and everything was decorated tastefully. We loved being so close to the Sassy Bass for dinner and extra grocery items. Otherwise, we felt like we had the beach all to ourselves. Vickie was great to work with and we would gladly rent this property again. Highly recommend!

What a great spot. My daughters arranged a birthday get away and decided on Sandy Bottoms. So glad we picked this property.

This place has everything that you could want. Loved the deck and enjoyed having breakfast and just relaxing in the morning watching the sun rise and evening watching the sunset. The kitchen has everything that you need if you enjoy cooking rather than going out. Also the washer and dryer was appreciated as we had a 3 month old baby with us.

Thank you Vickie, you hit all the requirements that we needed to make our stay so enjoyable. We love your beach house and are already planning a summer trip, but this time for at least 7 days. Can't wait to enjoy this location again.

Wonderful vacation, as always!

Our 3rd time staying at Sandy Bottoms and never disappoints. Everything from the cleanliness of the house to the beautiful beach location makes us keeping wanting to come back year after year. Cannot wait to book again! 

We had the beach to ourselves

Sandy Bottoms was a perfect home away from home for us, as a family of 6 (4 kids ages 6,7,9,9). The kids loved playing in the sand and running in the waves. We even had dug a bonfire into the sand by the ocean and toasted marshmallows. We had the beach all to ourselves (even on spring break week!) It was quiet and peaceful and a great vacation. Thank you to the Boozers for sharing your home with us! 

Cozy, clean and great location!

Our family had a wonderful time during our stay at Sandy Bottoms! The beds were super comfy and there was easy walking access to the beach. We appreciated having wi-fi and access to movie channels for those "down times" with the little ones. The owner was super responsive to our needs, and very clear about check-in and check-out procedures. We created great memories at Gulf Shores! 

Bright and comfy!

This was our second year and we loved every minute. We needed a break from winter and Sandy Bottoms certainly fills the bill. Vicky hasn't missed a thing, if you need something to prepare your own meals, its there. I f you love to eat out, the Sassy Bass Amazin grill is within walking distance. A short drive to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach makes a variety of restaurants available. There is the Fish River Grill for the Gator bites, Sassy Bass's Caribbean Grill on Tuesday and Thursday for the $9.99 Ribeye, and a new place we found, that was just open a year now, GT's in the Bay, which has a nice spot on Wolf Bay with a beautiful view. My wife has fallen in love with Brown Pelicans and their antics. We especially like the proximity to the beach for our walks to discover all the interesting things the tide brings in, to just catch some sun or an amazing sunset. There are numerous things to do nearby and if that isn't enough, a short ferry ride to Dauphin Island and Mobile, makes many more available. We have already booked next year at the same time. Sandy Bottoms is a great place to reconnect with your spouse. 

Best beach house you can find anywhere!

***** 5/5

We have stayed at Sandy Bottoms a number of times and cannot say enough about what an exceptional place it is. The furnishings are beautiful and functional. The place is airy and comfortable.

The kitchen literally has anything you could possibly need to prepare a 5 star meal. If they don't have it, then it doesn't exist. In fact, this applies to the entire house.

My view from the deck is spectacular morning and evening. I cannot count how many beautiful sunsets I have seen from there. And, not making any promises, but we have seen countless Blue Angel fly overs. So exciting when you hear that roar and run outside to see them vanishing into the horizon. Then back again.

The stretch of beach is beautiful and clean. Love that gulf coast water! Surprisingly, there is lots to do on that end of the beach. Fort Morgan itself is a fun trip, as well as taking the ferry over to Dauphin Island. If you are lucky you can walk just a short way East up the beach and see the fascinating partially buried shipwreck. Plenty of great places to eat close by and just up the road in Gulf Shores.

Finally, there are loads of terrific festivals just up the way in Gulf Shores. You can enjoy the Songwriters Festival, Shrimp Fest, Oyster Fest, the Hangout Music Festival and lots more and still enjoy the peace and quiet of Fort Morgan when you head back to your home on the beach.

If I could give 10 stars, I would.

I cannot end without mentioning my absolute favorite feature. The lower portion has a wonderful full shower. There is just something fabulous about taking a hot shower OUTSIDE. Even in the winter. ESPECIALLY in the winter. Love, love, love it. Plus lots of seating and entertaining space under the house to boot!
