About this property

Beachfront at The Salty Pelican, Sleeps 16, Plunge Pool, Fort Morgan Beach

  • Wake up to the sound of gentle waves and your toes in the sand at this true beachfront escape, set directly on a private stretch of Fort Morgan’s pristine shoreline. Step off the spacious wooden deck and follow your own path straight to untouched, sandy beaches—flip‑flops optional.

    From sunrise coffees to sunset cocktails, every moment is framed by sweeping Gulf views. Settle into the provided loungers and watch dolphins glide by as the tide rolls in. Take a dip into plunge pool to cool off. Or spend your days nearby sailing across turquoise water, reeling in the catch of the day, snorkeling vibrant shallows, golfing all year long, or renting jet skis for a little thrill.

    Inside, this expansive coastal retreat is designed for effortless relaxation. Five beautifully appointed bedrooms—featuring a king, multiple queens, doubles, and a cozy twin—ensure everyone finds their perfect place to unwind after a day in the sun. Whether you’re gathering with family or traveling with friends, there’s room for everyone to breathe, rest, and reconnect.

It features a fully furnished kitchen, a large dining area that comfortably seats your entire group, and a spacious living room with a 75-inch 4K LED Full Array Smart TV. A wet bar adds extra convenience for hosting family meals or relaxing evenings. Step outside to your private deck, where a private pool overlooking the Gulf and direct access to your own stretch of beach invite you to unwind and enjoy the coastal breeze.
    The second floor offers four beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own unique view and 55-inch Smart TV, providing comfortable private spaces for guests of all ages.
    The third floor is dedicated to the luxurious Primary Suite, featuring a king-sized bed, stunning Gulf views, and a spa-like en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and double sink vanity.

Second time at this house and it’s a great find. Overall, the house is great. A lot of space for family dinners and movie nights, with plenty of beds/rooms for everyone. So close to the beach and nice secluded location.

Family Vacay

We enjoyed our stay ! The location and convenience to the beach was perfect ! Beds were super comfy but we did feel like the house could use a good deep clean . I realize it’s peak season and turn around time is short but baseboards and walls could use a good wipe down as well as cleaning under all furniture .

Wonderful Property

This house was wonderful for a family or a group. The rooms are well laid out, and the noise from one room to another is minimal. The location is outstanding, and everything that was in the listing was an honest, perfect depiction of what we found. The owner were very helpful and answered all the questions I had. We’ll definitely be back.

Fun Family Week

We had a fantastic stay at Salty Pelican. The location is wonderful. Close to Sassy Bass and Tacky Jacks restaurants. We enjoyed being directly on the beach. The kids could go to and from the beach easily. The little pool ended up being a favorite for the kids. The kitchen is well stocked. We also enjoyed the family room being large enough for our family to relax and play games. We are looking forward to returning. Thanks for sharing your home.

Great family vacation!

Family vacation with 8 adults and 3 children ages 7 to 9. The house was perfect for us, just steps from a beautiful private beach area. The pool was small but the kids loved it. Had an issue with the washing machine caused by a previous guest. The host immediately let us know and even though it was Memorial Day weekend, was able to rectify the situation with no inconvenience to us whatsoever. Will definitely be returning!!

We had the best time this last week at this house!! Perfect set up for a big group with ours ranging from 6 years old to 56 years old! House was exactly as listed and so beautiful! We did notice the pool wasn’t working correctly so I messaged the owner and she called me within minutes and had the pool guy there that same day to fix it! We will definitely be booking this house again in the future!

We enjoyed our stay and the location and weather were great!! Recommendations….the kitchen was poorly equipped (no pot holders, the knives were dull), lack of comfortable outdoor furniture, weak WiFi reception, insufficient towels and wash cloths (found others on last day left in washer) hot water heater alarm kept going off during the night). Did contact owner and they responded quickly.

Good location, but property has issues

This property has potential, but needs attention. The house was not clean, the AC upstairs stopped working, and there were visible issues with the house. The thermostats kept kicking back to high temps and we were hot all week. But!! Can’t beat the location, the beach is beautiful and not crowded in that area, the owner was easy to get in touch with and was responsive to the issues we had.

Great week at the beach!

The house was awesome! It had everything we needed plus so much more. The beach was at our doorstep. Great living area big enough for our 10 adults and 6 children. The walk-in showers were nice. Plenty of beach chairs and accessories. Great location. Because there were no closets in the bedrooms, it would have been nice to have a few hooks for hanging clothes. Well stocked kitchen, but we missed the can opener, measuring cups, etc. in the island drawer until late in the week because it didn’t have a handle. It didn’t look like a drawer. All in all, a great week!
