Why families choose us
Why families choose Aurora del Mar
Aurora del Mar is a 6-bedroom, 6-bath beach house in the Morgantown neighborhood of Fort Morgan, Alabama. It sleeps up to 18 guests, so the whole family can stay under one roof.
Room for every family
Five en-suite suites plus a bunk room with two triple bunks (6 twin beds). A full-size sleeper sofa in the living room brings the total to 18 guests.
Dual Views
The king suites and front decks look toward the Gulf. The queen suites, bunk room and back decks overlook Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge.
Ice for every cooler
The living-room bar has a 115-can beverage fridge and a commercial ice maker that makes up to 110 lbs of ice a day. Fill the coolers and go.
Bring the dog
Dogs aren't allowed on the beach in Gulf Shores city limits, but Fort Morgan is different. Your dog can walk the beach with you, and bowls, leashes, a crate and dog towels are waiting at the house.
Steps to the sand
It's about 300 steps from the house to a Morgantown beach-access boardwalk. Then it's toes in the sand.
The practical extras
Fiber internet with wired ports, an EV charging outlet (NEMA 14-50, bring your cable), and an outdoor shower under the house for rinsing off sand.
The rooms
Sleeping arrangements

Everything your group needs
We've been a beach-going family for over 30 years. We stocked this house with the things that made our own trips easier, from the ice maker to a large shrimp-boil pot.

What our guests say
We loved this house for our three visiting families. The location is perfect and the neighborhood is super quiet and great for little kids. Pools were great, beach was beautiful, and the house had everything we needed.
Felt like home, everyone had their own space, bathroom, and never felt squished. The ocean views and sounds from the patios are invaluable!
The house was fabulous, and big enough for three generations of family.
Aurora had tons of space. Plenty of storage and bathrooms for all. 4 decks were great and views from the upper deck were great too. Looking for the alligator in the pond was entertaining. … Even the ice machine and beverage cooler ended up being a real plus we used all the time.
We had 17 guests stay here for 5 days and needed to cook often. … Beach access is about as close as you can get, and the water was a pretty clear green as usual.
Two snowbirds escaped to the Aurora Del Mar this winter. … We enjoyed sitting on the deck with a morning cup of coffee listening to the Gulf waves. The pet-friendly beach is just a short walk away.
