Peace of Paradise - Fort Morgan, AL

When planning a big group getaway or family reunion, the last thing you want to worry about is whether you’ll find a home to suit everyone’s needs. Never fear - this bright getaway in the Bay to Breakers community ticks all the boxes. Here, on the far western end of the island about 20 miles from central Gulf Shores, residential beach homes far outnumber high rises, and much of the surrounding natural area remains pristine.

Tour the Fort Morgan State Historic Site or hop on the ferry to Dauphin Island, about one mile west, or spend the day fishing from the private pier over Mobile Bay. Golfers will love the easy proximity to Kiva Dunes, just six miles east, one of Golf Digest’s top-rated courses and its pick for No. 1 course in Alabama. For those who’d prefer reading a book under a beach umbrella all day, a private community boardwalk to the glittering Gulf sand is just steps away from the home. Finally, at the private community outdoor pool you’ll find plenty of lounge chairs and a gazebo, a welcome oasis from a day in the salt and sun.

At the home itself, take your pick of outdoor spaces - two decks run the length of the home and offer ocean views, Adirondack chairs, and a large dining table, ideal for alfresco meals in the salty sea air. Downstairs on the patio you’ll find a porch swing, an outdoor shower, and the highlight - a private plunge pool.

Thoughtful touches continue inside this modern home, where light aqua walls and contemporary coastal decor imbue the entire space with a vacation vibe. The open main living area offers lots of natural light and room to gather together. No need to worry about cooking for a crowd, as the full kitchen features two of everything - two dishwashers, two ovens, and two full-size refrigerators, plus abundant counter space split into two areas. When it’s time to eat, there’s room for everyone between the large dining table, breakfast bar, and table on the deck. The second-story coffee station, central AC, and in-home washer/dryer are just cherries on top of this already idyllic retreat.

Spend evenings at home on the oversized sectional, streaming the latest release on the smart TV, courtesy of the free WiFi. No problem if you can’t agree on what to watch - there are a total of 11 televisions in the home - but the kids will be so busy playing the two stand-up arcade games they won’t fight you for the remote. At bedtime, 10 serene sanctuaries offer a restful night’s sleep, with a variety of configurations and bed sizes to suit everyone in your party. You’ve got a lot of decisions to make when planning a vacation for a group this size - but choosing a stay at Peace of Paradise is one of the easy ones. Now you just have to decide how many extra days you'll book.
