Escape to Pelican's Perch on Mobile Bay w/ Beach & Pier! Great Golfing Nearby!

Pelican’s Perch – Your Waterfront Escape on Mobile Bay

Run away to Pelican’s Perch - your own little corner of the world directly on Mobile Bay. Relax and unwind in this fully renovated (inside and out) 2-bedroom, 2-bath raised cottage in Fort Morgan, offering panoramic water views and a peaceful private setting.

Sink your toes into the sandy beach on the bay or cast a line from the 225’ fishing pier (shared with the neighboring cottage). You might even spot dolphins playing in the distance! (Please note: no swimming access into the bay.)

Beautiful small house which underwent a FULL remodel not long ago. Well stocked kitchen ready to cook in, amazing view of the bay, comfortable beds and furniture. Really convenient to beaches, the inter-island ferry and a couple of great places to eat. Far enough outside of Gulf Shores proper to avoid the crowds, close enough to go into town for what you need.
