About this property

Whispering Pines Cottage–Peaceful Fort Morgan Retreat | Pool | Close to Beach

  • Whispering Pines Cottage | Pool + 5 Min Walk to Beach

    Escape to the quieter side of Gulf Shores at Whispering Pines Cottage, a stand-alone 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage in the peaceful Rookery community of Fort Morgan.

    With room for up to 8 guests, this comfortable coastal cottage gives families and friends space to relax together while keeping the Gulf close by. Walk about 5 minutes to nearby beach access, cool off at one of two community pools, enjoy the hot tub or tennis courts, then settle in for an easy evening at the cottage.

    Inside the Cottage

    Whispering Pines offers an open living, dining and kitchen area designed for comfortable time together after a day along the Gulf.

    The living room features comfortable seating and a Smart TV, while the fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare breakfast before the beach, pack lunches for the day or enjoy dinner at home.

    A full-size washer and dryer, high-speed Wi-Fi and central heat and air add the conveniences you want for a relaxed Gulf Coast stay.

    Sleeping Arrangements | Sleeps 8

    • Primary bedroom — Queen bed + private bathroom
    • Guest bedroom — Queen bed

    Rookery Community Amenities

    Your stay includes access to amenities throughout Rookery I & II:

    • Two outdoor swimming pools
    • Zero-entry pool with kiddie area
    • Hot tub
    • Tennis courts
    • Picnic and grilling areas
    • Peaceful community grounds

    Beach Access

    Nearby beach access is located across Fort Morgan Road via Cortez Street Public Beach Access. From the cottage, it's about a 5-minute walk, making it easy to enjoy morning walks along the Gulf or spend the day with your toes in the sand.

    Beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers are not provided, so remember to bring your favorite beach gear.

    Discover Fort Morgan

    Fort Morgan offers a different Gulf Shores experience—quieter surroundings, coastal scenery and plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors.

    Explore historic Fort Morgan, ride the Mobile Bay Ferry to Dauphin Island, walk the nature trails at Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, book an inshore or offshore fishing trip, play a round at Kiva Dunes or spend an afternoon on a dolphin or sunset cruise.

    And some days don't need an itinerary at all. A morning at the beach, an afternoon by the pool, dinner on the grill and a comfortable evening back at the cottage can be just right.
