About this house rental
In December 2019, we finished a 2 month-long renovation of this beautiful home. So if you've looked before - please look again! This house now has 4 KING bedrooms and 1 BUNK Room that sleeps up to 8 children. New tile flooring, new paint, new mattresses and more! Pictures coming on 1/11/2020
The Great Room – which is incredibly spacious and inviting - has a huge leather couch; love seat and very comfortable recliners. It’s a great place to congregate, after a day in the sun, in front of the large flat-screen Smart TV. A Blu-Ray Player and DVD Player are provided for your use. Board and card games are also provided.
The Kitchen is huge and readily accommodates a number of cooks (or helpers). Two Refrigerators (one housed in the Laundry Room); an ice machine, which makes 35 pounds of ice per day; dishwasher; stove/oven and microwave are provided; as well as every imaginable small kitchen appliance. The Kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, glassware, mixing bowls, pots and pans and silverware.
The round dining table comfortably seats 6; with seating for another 6 at the Kitchen island bar; and another 6 at the unique dolphin table. For outdoor dining, a teak table, that seats 8, is conveniently located on the Deck, right outside the Great Room door. A large gas griddle is a great place to cook up burgers, hotdogs, steaks or even pancakes! A charcoal grill is also provided, under the house, as well as a picnic table.
A large Master King Suite is conveniently located just steps away from the Great Room and has amazing views to the east and towards the beach. The Master Bath has a fabulous jetted tub; separate shower, long single vanity and walk-in closet.
The second Master King Suite is located on the top floor and has direct access to the Balcony, through French doors. The Balcony is a great place to drink your morning coffee; or talk late into the night with family and friends. The Master Bath is massive and also has a jetted tub, separate shower, and long double vanity, and walk in closet.
Two additional King Bedrooms: one located on the main floor, and the one upstairs has direct Balcony access through French doors. Both bedrooms have closets and flat-screen Smart TVs. The downstairs King room has access to a full bathroom in the hallway, with a shower/tub combo. The King room upstairs shares a hall bathroom, also with a shower/tub combo, with the Bunk Room.
A brand new Bunk Room is located upstairs, with two Full size Bunk Beds - top and bottom, which can accomodate up to 8 children. This room also has a flat screen Smart TV and a closet.
The upstairs Loft is a great conversation area, game area or place for kids to hang out. A Smart TV allows the young or young-at-heart to play most gaming systems or simply catch up on your favorite shows. Plenty of games and puzzles located in the cabinet and in the downstairs entertainment center. A folding table and chairs are stored in the Bunk Room and can be used for board games or puzzles!
There is a Queen Sleeper Sofa in the Loft and another one in the Great Room. For your reading enjoyment, a massive collection of books are on the bookshelves. “Take one, leave one” is all we ask.
A full size Washer and Dryer are located in the Laundry Room. Towels, wash cloths, beach towels, linens, pillows and comforters are provided for no additional fee. A second refrigerator is located in the Laundry Room.
The large Deck is a great place for sunning, playing or catching up with family and friends. Beach toys galore, including sandcastle-making tools, Frisbees, noodles, boogie boards and more are provided for the young and young-at-heart! Feel free to take our lounge chairs with you to the beach each day; but please bring them back each evening, as summer is Sea Turtle Nesting Season and when those mommas come ashore at night, they can get tangled in stuff left behind. May through August – for no additional charge - our guests are provided a 10’ X 20’ Beach Canopy that is professionally installed and maintained.
The Sand Dune Walkover is conveniently attached to the Deck and allows you and your gear to get down to the beach with little effort. Part way down, a seating area, is the perfect place to watch the sun rise or set. Plan to spend at least one early morning enjoying the ever-changing colorful sunrise. Every 90 seconds a different color palette and pattern appear.
Two fabulous community swimming pools and two incredible tennis courts, are all within walking distance of our beach house and are securely passcode protected.
So if you’re planning to “Beach Bum” it all week, or want daily adventures by land or by sea, Susan’s Sand Castle I, is the perfect place to be! Contact us now to find out when your group can have your next beach adventure!
May through mid-August, Bookings must be Saturday to Saturday. Thanksgiving and Christmas Weeks have the same Saturday to Saturday Requirements. Other than that, there is a 4 night minimum, with flexibility for days of the week for Check-In.
This beach house is perfect for Family Reunions; Vacations with Family/Friends; Weddings; Corporate Retreats; Girfriend Get-Aways; Guys Deep Sea Fishing Week; and more! Snowbirds are welcome to contact us about renting by the month. There is a $1,500.00 surcharge for weddings/events.

We have so many loyal returning guests for all three of our beach houses that our Reservation Calendar fills up quickly for peak times and they often reserve "their week" years in advance , but we love to make new friends and welcome your inquiry. We do our best to respond in under an hour, but because we don't recharge on coffee alone - we do try to sleep at some point, therefore will respond to late night inquiries first thing the next morning.
We are currently accepting reservations through the end of 2021. Rates not yet set for 2022.

This beautiful home was the perfect place for our family to vacation. My 80+ year old parents were able to access the home and beach without using the stairs. Their master suite was located on the main level. The shaded canopy was just steps away from the ramp to the beach. The children (one as young as 18 months) had plenty of beach toys to play with. The home was a wonderful place to make memories.

This is a beautiful home for our family of 12 this past week. The home was clean and very well equipped for our needs. The boardwalk to the beach was wonderful and convenient to come and go as we please. The beach canopy set up was greatly appreciated as well and we used it everyday! Our kids had a blast at the big pool and playing in the sand everyday. Thank you Susan and Jerry for a very relaxing and memorable stay! We greatly appreciate it!

7 adults plus dog. booked based on beachfront, pet friendly and all 5 star reviews. Did not disappoint! From the moment of booking until checkout the communication with host and owners outstanding. Detailed info/instructions sent periodically prior to vacation at appropriate times. location 20 minutes to main stores in G.S. This made for less crowds in area. The community is beautiful, quiet, very family oriented. Walkable area. Home is large with open kitchen family area and the floor plan for bedrooms allowed for a lot of privacy.Very well equipped from kitchen to beach toys and more.nice addition was beach canopy specifically for house professionally put up. wonderful home and area made for great relaxing vacation. would not hesitate to return.

First time on Ft Morgan and we have found our new spot! The beach is amazing and the house had everything we could ask for. The bunk room was perfect for the kids. The deck is so big and plenty of chairs. Having access to all the beach toys was great too!

My family (all 21 of us) couldn’t have asked for better accommodations during the holiday.
We were greeted with an immaculately clean home. A bonus touch was a gift basket which turned out to be the savior of our Thanksgiving - the “basket” was an aluminum tray which could hold our turkey while it baked. The one we brought was too small.
I have only good things to say about the beach house and will gladly recommend it for anyone wanting an affordable getaway on the beach at Gulf Shores.

Great stay
Stayed for a week in February- weather was great. The home is fully equipped- has everything you would need. The location is amazing- saw dolphins every day from our patio - and the sunrise’s and sunsets made for a perfect trip. We will be back next year.

You can hear the waves
We wanted a warm-weather getaway on a beach to escape the midwestern cold, and this house was exactly what we needed. We fell asleep each night to the soothing sound of the gulf water hitting the shore, and woke up to sunshine streaming in from all of the windows. Both decks were wide, deep and well stocked with chairs. The kitchen was supplied with as extensive a supply of appliances, utensils, plates and glasses as any place we've stayed, and it had plenty of places to sit, eat and talk. We were fortunate to find such a wonderful place that allowed our dog to be with us on our vacation - we'd happily stay here again.

Birthday celebration for my wife #60
House and Beach location were the best! Quite lovely beach, big back porch made for viewing the Emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico,, or of coarse a few step to the sandy beach. Beach chairs with beach towels, all the kitchen items needed for your meals, two refrigerators, this unit and owner making it easier for us. Thanks so much for a great 10 days

We were in the rental over Christmas. A beautiful Christmas tree was put in for us.
We fixed every meal in but one that we ate at Tacky Jacks. The house is so equipped it was great.
Our four grandsons loved the sandbar straight out from the house. Five stars!!!!!

Beautiful house
The house is great. It has plenty of space. The kitchen has many dishes and cookware. The view of beach is great. The deck has great seating and the tables outside on top deck and bottom make great spots for morning coffee and sunrise. The house is not close to any stores so it is a nice secluded part as lo g as you get what is needed as you go in.

Wonderful beachfront home
We had a wonderful week staying at Susan’s Sandcastle! The house was perfect for our family and i loved how it was big enough for us all to cook together and hang out. The house had everything we needed plus some!

Nice and relaxing stay
We were very pleasantly surprised by Susan's Sand Castle. The directions and access were super easy, and Susan was a joy to deal with. The house itself was open and roomy, and there were a huge number of kitchen items and utensils that, well, we never used. But they were there! The walkway to the beach was super convenient, and the view was amazing. This part of the area is not very busy and very quiet, at least during our non-peak visit.
We ate out every night, and went to the Sandy Bass and Tacky Jack's several times each as there aren't too many choices. It is about a 20 minute drive to get back to town to more restaurants, so if you want variety and to eat out, it can be a bit of a haul. But, if you want to cook for yourselves and just go out for an occasional meal, this is a fantastic location. 2 fridges help make sure you have the space you need, a separate ice maker to keep your drinks cool, and plenty of beach to enjoy. We would definitely visit here again.

Roomy house on the beach
Our family (3 couples; 5 kids 3-12) enjoyed our week here. We had plenty of room, particularly in the spacious kitchen. We really liked the back deck area, with lots of chairs for lounging, and the close proximity to the beach. Also, we appreciated the quick response we had to a few minor issues. Great house for a family group.

Taken care of
The house, location and amenities were fantastic. The complexity of a house this size suggests something needs taken care of during your stay. The house manager, Dana, was terrific. She was there, truly concerned and made things happen. It is our intention to return soon.

Unbelievable!!
This property is one of the best places we have stayed in for our annual family beach trip. The home is beautiful. Well supplied and furnished. Communication with Dana was informative and most helpful. She even out in a good word for us for great weather! Keeping this one in our file for another trip!

Amazing!
I am so glad we chose this property for our vacation. It was definitely the right choice for us. Plenty of room to spread out, amazing location right on the beach, and awesome AC if the heat becomes too much outside. I was assuming that the AC would have a hard time keeping up... nope! It will get a cool as you want it. Overall a wonderful place to stay. If you're considering this place, yes, you should rent it.

Very accommodating and great location!
We had 7 adults and 4 children with us and the rooms were perfect for our group. Dana was very accommodating on any little thing we needed and very prompt. The boardwalk to the beach was awesome! With everything going on right now we opted to do our grocery shopping and do our own cooking every night so I cant really speak for everything else but it was exactly what we wanted.
Great time, great experience & great memories made here!

Great beach front property perfect for large gatherings
Great house with plenty of room inside and out. Property is well maintained and has everything you need for a great beach vacation. The house is well appointed, comfortable beds, furniture and amenities Dana, the property manager was very responsive and made everything very simple. We've stayed at this property 2x and had the same experience both times.. Ft. Morgan is a little bit of a trip to things in Gulf Shores such as restaurants and shopping, but that is a great plus when it comes to the beach crowds, which are significantly less. We even had our own little air show one morning from a member of the Blue Angels flying team performing maneuvers right in front of the house! This property is definitely everything and more represented in its ad.

This was our second stay at Susan’s Sandcastle and as before , our stay was everything it was promised to be from reviews.

Perfect in every way!
Fabulous home! Gorgeous beachfront setting! Spectacular sunrises AND sunsets! Wonderful manager! We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Over New Year's, our family of 15 traveled from 4 states to come together to celebrate our mother's 70th birthday and our parents 40th anniversary. Everything was perfect! Dana was so attentive and quick to answer any questions we had. By the end of the trip, she felt like part of the family! Thank you for such a beautiful home where we made memories that will last a lifetime!

Excellent Home and Location
Rented this property for our family vacation and we were not disappointed. The home is right on the beach and perfect for our special needs son. The deck was beautiful, both of them and the ramp to the beach was an added bonus to get him back and forth from the beach. The home is large and gave us all space when we needed it. The beach was never crowded which we enjoyed. We absolutely loved this home and will be back. Dana was spectacular and made sure our stay was what we wanted and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for allowing us to stay in this lovely beach paradise.

Beautiful Home, Wonderful Time
Our family had an amazing time. The house was beautiful and Dana was so helpful. We were celebrating our parents 50th anniversary with family and the house was just perfect for this. Dana even brought by a gift for them. We had a couple of small issues and they were taken care of immediately. It was amazing to be able to stay so close to the water and have a canopy provided. We will definitely stay here again!!!

Awesome!
We loved staying at your beach house. It had everything we needed and then some. We especially loved the tent that was already set up on the beach. The porch was great for outside dining and watching the sun rise and set each day. The Blue Angels put on a great show too. We didn't have a drop of rain and were able to enjoy many hours at the beach. We can't wait to come back to your sandcastle again!! We did discover a new place to eat in GS- CoastAL- it's by the Zoo and Tiki Golf. There's also a yummy ice cream shop there. Thanks for all your personal touches. Dana was of immense help and kept us very informed.

Awesome family experience
The home is beautiful and perfect fo our sized family and had most everything we needed or wanted. And for anything else, the property manager, Dana, was amazing! Dana was awesome throughout the entire process and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She sent is pictures of things we wondered about before our arrival, she came out a few times to deliver little extra things that helped our vacation. She is the ultimate in client satisfaction. We have 6 adults and 4 small children in the family so the bed situation and layout was ideal. The ramp to the beach makes it so easy. No steps to worry about. We rented a golf cart and the kids really enjoyed that. You could walk to the pool but the cart made it more fun. My grandkids loved ‘chasing’ the ice cream man in the cart each day. There is no home that will be ‘perfect’ for everyone’s needs but this one in addition to Dana’s attention made it as close to perfect as could be.

This was our second year to stay at this location and again we had a great time. Everything was wonderful, even the weather! I can't think of anything we lacked to help us enjoy our spring stay.
