This property is located in a family and pet friendly neighborhood. Gulf Shores is a short and easy drive away and Dauphin Island is a fun Ferry ride away. The beach is just steps away! The communication from the property managers was fantastic!

Sweet Home Alabama

Vicki and I were looking for a place that we could escape the winter and found it here at Wasting Away. It’s a beach bungalow cottage with everything you need to enjoy Fort Morgan, one of the best kept secret's. The place had what we needed and if it wasn’t there we went to the Dollar General to get it. Wasting Away is about the beach, surf fishing, Mardi Gras and the Blue Angles flying by. If you have pets it’s perfect, a short walk to the dog friendly beach and miles of open space to run and play. The open floor plan has the longest kitchen center piece I’ve ever seen. Great for gatherings and just spreading out a buffet. Wasting Away is for independent minded people that can improvise, making it what you want it to be. It was the perfect place for the beach hippie in me. We plan to come back soon.

About the host

Hosted by Tina Scarborough

We are native Alabamians. We live in Tallassee, Alabama (a small town in central Alabama between Montgomery and Auburn, Alabama).
Joe and I are retired: Joe from being an Ag. teacher in the local high school, and from being an Attorney; Tina from the medical field. We have a herd of commercial Angus Cattle that we tend to, enjoy actively participating in our Church, traveling with our friends, and spending as much time as possible in Fort Morgan taking boat rides on Mobile Bay, fishing and shrimping, riding the ferry to Dauphin Island, bike rides in the Fort Morgan and Dauphin Island area, and not the least of which: ENJOYING THE PRETTIEST BEACH IN THE WORLD..........here in Ft. Morgan!!!!!!

Why they chose this property

The Fort Morgan area reminds us of how Gulf Shores was forty (40) years ago- prior to the proliferation of condos, both in Gulf Shores and in Orange Beach. Ft. Morgan is a quiet, peaceful place to relax and enjoy the pristine white sandy beach, salt air, and ever-present Gulf breezes; a community of single-family homes, with great neighbors and friends.

What makes this property unique

'Wastin' Away' is a short walk to the beach- the street (Bernard Court East) actually dead ends onto the beach- there is no cutting through other property owner's yards, or walking down the beach front road east or west to access the 'public' areas. The Gulf and Bay views can be enjoyed from the front deck. Since the house is located about a 1/4 mile away from the marina, and less than a mile from the Ft. Morgan historic site with public boat launch and fishing pier, there are a lot of fishing and boating activities available- we enjoy shrimping and fishing in Mobile Bay.
