This coastal home is in a quiet beach community and is adjacent to the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. There is a large front deck with a gulf view and a smaller rear deck with a view of the wildlife refuge where you can enjoy morning sunrises and evening sunsets with friends. You will want to take advantage of the fun, enclosed outdoor shower when returning from the beach.

"Living the Dream" is on a third tier Gulf view lot far away from the nearest high-rise condos. It is only a short walk to the beautiful, quiet, white sand beaches of Fort Morgan peninsula and the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. And with only a short, 15-minute drive to all the attractions, shopping, special events, and restaurants in Gulf Shores this home is a perfect island vacation getaway.

The home accommodates a maximum of 8 guests, with a queen size bed in the primary bedroom, a queen size bed in one guest bedroom, twin beds in the second guest bedroom, and a queen size sofa bed in the living room. For entertainment basic satellite television is provided by DISH Network and complimentary wireless internet is provided by Bright Speed. In the living room there is an entertainment center with a large flat screen TV, and AM/FM/CD stereo system; and each bedroom has a flat screen TV with DVD's and inputs for game consoles or streaming devices.

The kitchen is fully stocked with all the cookware, utensils, and dishes needed for home cooking, or if you prefer there are restaurants nearby. There is plenty of storage for your grocery items and there is a private "park style" charcoal bar-b-que grill for outdoor cooking along with grilling prep station with hot and cold water.

Linens and bedding are provided for you. Also, the house has a large laundry room with a full-size clothes washer and dryer. Adequate starter supplies of bath soaps, laundry detergent, liquid dishwashing soap, dishwasher pods along with 1 roll of paper towel and 1roll of toilet paper in each bathroom are also provided for your convenience.

The nearby wildlife refuge is a 6,000-acre nature preserve that offers several easy trails through sawgrass, marsh and sash pine forest where you can encounter 500 different animals and bird species. The Fort Morgan Peninsula is in the bird and butterfly migration route. In the early spring and late fall, the whole peninsula is alive with birds and butterflies including Monarchs and Gulf Fritillaries. In addition to the usual gulls and sand pipers, you may find kestrel, anhinga, osprey, great blue heron, and several different species of hawks, including sharp-shinned and Cooper's. Bring your camera so you won't miss that photo of an American Alligator.

There is no boat parking available, however the Gulf Shores Yacht Club is only 5 miles away where you will find a marina, boat dock, and Tacky Jack's Restaurant. There is also a boat launch located 4 miles East at the entrance to Kiva Dunes. Historic Fort Morgan is 6 miles to the West on Highway 180 where you can explore this civil war fort, enjoy the beach, search for sand dollars and mermaids' purses, catch the Mobile Bay Ferry to Dauphin Island, and visit the estuarium.

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this house, but when we walked it met all of my expectations and more. The house was clean. The beds were soft. The walk to the beach wasn’t terrible. The rental agent was super responsive and checked on us throughout the week. I hope we can make it back down to Living the Dream again soon!

We had the best time staying at Living the Dream. We stayed for 3 nights. We went to the beach each day and ventured into Gulf Shores to eat some while we were there. When we weren’t eating at local restaurants we cooked in the kitchen. Our 2 kids and their friends enjoyed the games that were there for use. The house was decorated beautifully and it was very clean when we arrived. We would definitely recommend this property.

We spent a week here in early May, 2022. The house is very well laid out in an open plan with bright decorations and furniture. The kitchen is well laid out with many small appliances and tools. There are ample chairs and toys for the beach, about 200 yards away. We thoroughly enjoyed a quiet vacation with the children.

Open concept kitchen and living area are amazing. Lots of empty cabinet space for groceries to be stored. Easy walk to the beach. This is our second year and hope to be back next year.
