Tortuga Bay

Perfection

"Our little family had an amazing vacation at Tortuga Bay. The beds are comfy, the kitchen is well equipped, and the whole place is gorgeous. My hubby spent lots of time fishing off the dock and the gulf beach is only a ten minute walk away. The deck is huge with a cozy couch for reading and plenty of places to sit while you watch the sun set. We loved it so much we're thinking about coming back in the fall!"

"Nice quaint home nestled against the Gulf of America. Neighbors were great and welcoming. The waters are full of life which was great for fishing. If you’re used to having your home cooled below 74°, recommend you bring a portable fan, the thermostat is locked and can get toasty inside during the day. "

"Property was as described and the check-in and out process was easy. Perfect for a small family and the fishing off the dock is great for the kids.
Would not hesitate to rent this location or from Sunset Properties in the future. "

"Thank you for the wonderful review, Kevin! We are so glad the property was everything you were looking for and you enjoyed your stay. We would love to host you again in the future!"

"Tortuga Bay offers a perfect view of paradise! This property offers water views from all windows, moments of serenity with beautiful sunsets, and a daily visit from a great blue heron! What are you waiting for.....Book your visit now!"

"Thank you so much! We are thrilled to see you enjoyed this property. We can't wait to host you again!"

"We have stayed here multiple times and have always loved it! It is so nice to be away from the hustle and bustle but if that’s your thing close enough to drive to for the day. Will definitely be back!"

"Thank you for your review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay."

"We have rented Tortuga Bay several times and again we achieved much needed rest and relaxation. At the time of our rental, the surrounding area was quiet outside of the sound of seagulls and mullet jumping! The house was very clean and easy to access via keypad. Property grounds were well-maintained. We enjoyed fishing off the pier and visiting (reconnecting) with neighbors. We will be back in the Fall! "

"So very happy that you continue to come out to this amazing home to relax. We appreciate you!"

"Great location looking out at Mobile shipping channel. Very clean and well stocked, honestly not one negative aspect about the house. House is perfect for a small family that doesn't mind a short (5min) walk to the beach."

"YAY!! This is what we strive to hear from our guest! We love that you enjoyed it so much and would love to host you again."

"Oh how we needed this time away! This was our third time staying at Tortuga Bay and it did not disappoint! The house is in a great location for fishing and the neighborhood is quiet with welcoming neighbors. The house is clean - we love the update to the bathroom, great shower space. It is always a bonus to take our two small dogs- love chasing lizards and sitting on the deck watching the birds. We will definitely be back in the Spring!"

"Donna, we LOVE your review!! It was a pleasure to have you stay with us again! Tortuga Bay is a wonderful, cozy little home and gets a lot of repeat guests! We look forward to your next visit!"

"Great place, Great weather and Great rental company to work with."

"Mark, we were so happy to host you again! Thank you for being a loyal guest! We look forward to having you stay with us again! Thank you for the great review!"

"Sunset properties was absolutely wonderful to work with. Not to mention the house was perfect for us with two teens boys. We were overlooking the bay with a close trip to the beach. You could walk or drive and be there quickly. It was the best of both worlds. Not to mention the neighbors were amazing and very welcoming. "

"Sabrina, we were so happy to have you and we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Tortuga Bay! Thank you so much for the great review! We would love to host you again! "

"Loved the nice quiet beach house location. Caught tons of fish and crabs. Only issue was having a preset thermostat. It was really warm at night so it would of been nice to have some control of the thermostat."

"Thank you for the great review! It was our pleasure to have you as our guest and we look forward to having you stay with us again! "

"Cute, clean and dog friendly! What more could you ask for!? Oh yes, the beautiful sound of the swaying palms not to mention water views from every window! "

"Paula, we were so happy to have you as our guest and we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay! We would love to host you again!"

"This winter stay at the TORTUGA BAY house at Fort Morgan was amazing. The home was just what we needed. Great location, very comfortable and pet friendly. This was our 1 extended stay south of the cold winters in Eastern Kentucky and we wanted to be able to take our Aussie/Doodle with us. He loved our stay there too. Close to the beach and lots of natural beauty. The local restaurants were amazing. Of all the restaurants that we visited we enjoyed the ORIGINAL OYSTER HOUSE the most. Great food, service and decor of the interior were upmost. We had to leave earlier than our originally planned but family issues at home take presidence over everything else. Thanks to SUNSET PROPERTIES for being so thorough in arranging our stay and being able to answer any questions we had before arriving and while we were there. I highly recommend these folks and this location for your stay of any length in this wonderful area. I must add- the locals really know how to put on a fireworks display ringing in the NEW YEAR. I can only imagine the display for the 4th of July when we celebrate our Nations Independence Day. Thanks again. "

"Wayne, it was a pleasure to have you as our guest! We are delighted to hear that you had a great experience with your stay at Tortuga Bay! Thank you for the detailed review and we would love the opportunity to host you again! "

"The renovation since Mama’s happy place was excellent "

"Yay! It is really a cozy little home and I hope you enjoyed your time there! We look forward to having you back! "

"This house was was wonderful. It was our second time to stay and now that it has a new mattress,it's perfect! Very clean and a great location."

"Woo hoo! Thank you for the great review! We appreciate you staying with us and we look forward to your next visit! "

"Loved staying at Tortuga Bay! It was a very lovely place and so peaceful in the bay. It was a nice change from the sandy beaches during the day. Close to the beach and two main restaurants with little traffic at this end. Recommend going to the Fort just to experience what it was like back in the day. Would book again. "

"Woo hoo! Amanda, we appreciate the five star review! Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your stay in Tortuga Bay! Isn't it a cozy little house? We would love to book it for you again! "

"We had such a wonderful time at Tortuga Bay & wished we had another day or two. First was the fishing which was so fun. The kids could throw a cast in, count to five & had a fish. They enjoyed the variety of types of fish. Second, we saw dolphins at the end of our inlet. Third, the beach was perfect. We chose to drive over with our gear & it was only 2 minutes away. Fourth, it was quiet & remote from the busyness. Fifth, the house was cute, clean & perfect for our family of four. It had everything we needed. I highly recommend this rental & would stay here again."

"Woo hoo, another five star review!! I am so, so happy that the fishing was a huge success! I know lots of good memories were made and we would love to book this cute little home for you again! Thank you for the great review! Give us a call! "

"Spent a week and wish it could have been longer! Caught 7 species of fish from the private dock and was close access to multiple other fishing area. Will definitely be booking again"

"Yay! We would love to see some pictures if you have any! Sounds like a very successful trip! Give us a call when you have more time for fishing and we will get you booked! "

"The house was great and had everything we needed also was clean upon arrival.
We arrived by boat but the dock was not suitable for docking. The house is situated on an open bay and subject to large surges from big boats passing by.
Our boat was damaged when a piling came loose allowing our boat to smash into the dock.
The dock requires a david to be safely used."

"Phil, I am so sorry to hear about the trouble you had with your boat. I hope the damage was not significant. That is unfortunate. Other than that, I hope your stay was enjoyable. We look forward to hosting you again for your next vacation!"

"Great experience. Setting on the bay, with the beach a 15 minute walk across the street, the location was perfect. And you don't have tons of people in the area. Perfect if you like low key"

"Thank you, Chris, for taking the time to leave us a five star review! We appreciate your feedback and hope you come back again!"

"If your desire is to be in the middle of chaos with the commercial beach crowd, then Tortuga Bay is not for you. If you are seeking a peaceful, perfectly appointed vacation rental for small family or group, Tortuga Bay is the gem you're looking for! Using keycode to enter Tortuga Bay was simple, I found everything to be clean upon arriving and I quickly got settled in. Gorgeous sunsets from the deck and had a perfect view of the full Snow Moon reflecting off the bay from the bedroom window. All furnishings were comfortable and kitchen utensils, appliances and dishware covered all the necessities. Stock up on your grocery items before you head down the peninsula to Fort Morgan area, but if need supplies there are options for shopping nearby. Sunset Properties staff were responsive to any questions I had during my stay. Will absolutely rent from them again!
"

"WOW!! Five stars! That makes us SO happy! Thank you, Wende, for such a great, detailed review of your stay at Tortuga Bay! That sounds like the perfect description for this neat little home! We are so glad you chose to stay with us and we certainly look forward to having you stay with us again in the future! We have a loyalty program that gives our repeat guests a discount starting on their third stay, so keep on coming back!"

"We were very happy with this property. It was the perfect location for our annual family trip. It was very clean and customer service was prompt and friendly (we had a small issue with linens). We are already planning to return next year! Would highly recommend! "

"Michelle, we are so happy with your 5 star review!! Thank you so much! I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay at Tortuga Bay! We look forward to your next visit!"

"Overall we had a great time. Wish the weather was better for fishing but with rhe hurricane one state over that just wasnt the case. The house was clean and as described in the listing. It's a really cute place! Only problems was that we couldn't keep our boat in the boat dock because the Cove the house is located in doesn't have wave breakers and the waters were pretty ruff so the boat would have been damaged if we left it on site in the boat slip. The master bed mattress could definitely be replaced as it's more like a College bed thin mattress than a mattress for 2 grown adults to relax after long days on rough waters but other than that we enjoyed the place and would come again. Property managers were easy to reach and communicated with us through text to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed throughout the stay."

"Melissa, we appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review! Tortuga Bay is a neat little house and I am so glad you enjoyed your time there! We look forward to seeing you again!"

"The house was very clean and larger than it looked. The deck was amazing. Kitchen was large enough and the island made it great for cooking. Needed more pots, pans and baking dishes. I think the rental agency would have brought some, if I asked, they were extremely helpful. Mattress in main bedroom needs to be replaced. We moved the twins in there and they were much better. "

"Janet, we appreciate the review of your stay in Tortuga Bay! Yes, we would have certainly brought more kitchen supplies. Give us a call and book this cozy home again!"

"My family loves to fish, we were in the perfect place if you like to fish off of a dock, my boys were out there constantly catching fish until they were exhausted at night. I would recommend this place to anyone!"

"Woo hoo! Fabulous review, thank you! I hope lots of good memories were made! Come on back and stay with us again!"

"Very nice little home. Very Quaint. Better fit for for 5 or less but will sleep 6. Quiet area and very well decorated and maintained. Super Super clean A+ to the cleaning company *****stars! Would definitely stay again!"

"Woo hoo! We love five stars!! That makes us happy! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay in this cozy little home and we look forward to having you back! "

"the company sunset properties was very nice and very accommodating as far as allowing my larger dog to the property. The house was nice, the views were beautiful, seen dolphins from the deck, fished the pier caught lots of little fish.
The house is smaller than it looks in the pictures and the surrounding homes were going through repairs from hurricane sally so rebuilding was going on. Although it says pet friendly the yard was a bit overgrown and while they did come and mow it the burs were a pain when walking the dog. The property is far from lots but very relaxing in the evening. Quiet area. "

"Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review of your stay in Tortuga Bay. We love feedback from our guests! There are a lot of rebuilding projects going on down here and it can be frustrating when you are trying to relax, but it is an indication of progress. I hope your sweet fur baby was able to enjoy the beach! Come back and stay with us again! "

"We stayed six nights at Tortuga Bay, and it was a delightful week. We had a quaint cottage style home, tastefully decorated, but the highlight for our grandsons was the dock out back. Each day they fished and had such a great time. After their fishing day, we had dinner on the back porch/deck and were fortunate to have delightful breezes and gorgeous sunsets each evening."

"Thank you, Mary, for the five star review! Isn't Tortuga Bay a wonderful little home? I'm so glad you enjoyed your time here. Fort Morgan has the best sunrises and sunsets along the coast and I am glad you were able to enjoy a few of them! Come on back and make more good memories! See ya at Sunset!"

"Wonderful first trip to Fort Morgan!!!"

"Woo hoo!! We are so glad your first trip was a success! Now that you have found our little slice of paradise, we hope to see you and your fur baby again!"

"Very clean. Up to date & quite. We will be coming back in August.
Thank you"

"Thank you so much for the review! We are so glad to have you come back in August! "

"Wonderful little home, the owners thought of everything. This is a very peaceful little home. Beautiful views and a short walk or drive to beach with parking available. The deck was prefect. Loved watching all the fishing boats go by. I would give it a big 5/5 ,if it had had a king size bed, it would have been a 5+. Great for a couple or couple with one or two small kids. I hope to rental again,and recommend this property for sure."

"Woo hoo! Thanks, Dena! I am so glad you enjoyed Tortuga Bay! Isn't it the coziest little home? We would love to have you back! Give us a call!"

"We loved staying here! It was so peaceful being on the bay. The beach house is so clean and decorated so cute it was the perfect beach get away. It has everything you need the kitchen is stocked with all the essentials. It real feels like home away from home and we loved sitting outside at night by the fire pit. This is one of the very best places we have stayed at in Gulf Shores."

"Eric, this review makes us so happy!! It doesn't get any better than five stars! We love Tortuga Bay! It is such a fun home and the view of the bay is awesome! I hope memories were made and we look forward to making your next reservation in this home!"

"The house location was quite and fit our needs. It had a nice view. The house was clean. We liked the deck because it was partially shaded by the roof. Some areas that could be improved upon: more hand towels for the kitchen, more hand towels for the bathroom, the bathroom could use some updating with a new tub and shower. Close location to the Fort Morgan Beach was convenient. Sassy Bass was great for buying fresh shrimp and fish. Overall, the stay was a great experience and we would book at Tortuga Bay in the future. "

"Dean, thank you so much for the great review of your stay in Tortuga Bay! This is such a neat little home with a great view! I'm glad you were able to enjoy some fresh fish and shrimp! We look forward to booking your nest trip!"

"The house was adorable. Great location. Due to weather we were not able to enjoy the pier but it looked great. Boat slip does look a little narrow for bigger boats but a great addition if you want to bring your boat. Mattress in main bedroom could use an upgrade. But overall it was wonderful."

"Thank you for the review! This home was recently updated and it is so cozy! I hope you will come back and enjoy the pier in better weather! "

"We stayed 3 nights at Tortuga Bay and we could not have asked for a better getaway!! We loved everything about our stay! Very clean. Decorated beautifully. And the views were amazing from the upper deck and from sitting down by the fire pit! Will definitely book again!!"

"Yay!! Give us a call, Stacey, and let's get this home booked for your next stay! "

"I5s a great place to stay. Nice location and house hut the grass is over 2 ft tall in most places around the property. We took our dogs with us for the stay(which it's great they except pets) and there was nowhere for them to go outside that wasnt all tall grass except under the deck. That's my only complaint though. The customer service was top notch. And we'll be staying with them again just Hopefully the grass will start getting more attention at their rentals. "

"Thank you for the review! I apologize for the tall grass. Our maintenance men do try to keep the grass mowed at all of our properties, but this summer has been very challenging for them. I'm glad that you enjoyed your time in this cozy home! It was just remodeled very recently and it is a hit with our guests! We will be happy to book this home for you again! Give us a call!"

"Our family’s stay at Tortuga Bay was really enjoyable. My husband loved the peaceful, serene setting. We enjoyed watching the fishing boats go in and out, the cute home, and lovely outdoor seating areas. Our young boys enjoyed a fire pit where we were able to roast marshmallows. It is far out from most activity, but we knew that when we rented. Lovely getaway! We would love to stay here again!"

"Awesome!! I hope memories were made that will last a lifetime! This cute home was recently remodeled and we just love it! Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to give us a review! Tell your friends about this neat little home and give us a call when you are ready to come back! "

"This property was set up to provide the setting for a wonderful getaway. A beautiful beach was walking distance away..the nightly sunsets over the bay were visible from the huge porch. The house was clean and had sufficient supplies to make cooking possible ..with lots of pots, pans, utensils and spices. The large island in the kitchen was perfect. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off sand from the beach. A washer/dryer unit was in the unit. Plush towels were provided. The beds were comfortable.

My only critique is the dishwasher ...it is old and decrepit and doesn’t get the dishes clean.

This house provided the space for a wonderful getaway for our family!"

"Thank you, Amy, for the great review! This cozy little home recently underwent a remodel and we absolutely love it! We are so glad that you stayed with us and we look forward to having you come back! "

"Great location with killer sunsets."

"Yay, Mark! So glad you enjoyed this location. The sunsets are always gorgeous on the Gulf Coast! Let us know when you're planning on coming back!"

"Large deck.. beautiful view right on the bay..awesome neighbors...met the owners who were very helpful..would highly reccomend this place..our little dog had lots of room to roam around on the deck...we were walking distance from the beach...Sunset Properties were awesome.."

"Yay! Thank you, James, for the great review! It was such a pleasure to meet y'all and your sweet fur baby! I am so glad you enjoyed your time at Mama's Happy Place, Too and I look forward to seeing y'all again next year! "

"Great place to stay good neighbors "

"Gail, thank you for the review of Mama's Happy Place, Too! I hope you caught a lot of fish from the fishing dock! The view of the bay from this home is wonderful! I hope you were able to catch a glimpse of the dolphins playing. We look forward to booking your next visit to Fort Morgan!"

"My family and I had a wonderful time here! The weather was great for the entire stay and we hope to come back next year. The house had everything we needed, the only thing I would consider changing is the master bedrooms mattress. I felt like I was rolling down a hill all night to the other side where my husbands weight was bottomed out lol. Other than that it was great and we would love to return. "

"Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at Mama's Happy Place, Too! We will certainly pass along the mattress recommendation to the homeowner! Give us a call and let's get you booked for next year!"

"A variety of family friendly activities in driving distance of a comfortable home with a dock and great sunset views."

"Thank you, Carol, for choosing Sunset Properties to book your relaxing stay at Mama's Happy Place, Too! I hope you enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets that Fort Morgan is so well known for! Call us to book your next stay!"

"This vacation rental was the easiest ever to book "

"Yay! We are so glad to hear that! We try to make it as easy and hassle-free as possible! Give us a call when you need some more beach time!"

"MHP2 was amazing! My children had a blast, we were able to see dolphins from the back deck in the afternoon. The house had a very open feel with a lot of natural light. There were plenty of dishes, pots/pans provided to make it through our stay.
The only thing I would say to others is watch out for fish hooks, my oldest stepped on one on the back deck. Other than that the house was spotless. We would highly recommend this property and look forward to staying with Sunset again in the future. "

"Thank you for the great review of your stay in Mama's Happy Place, Too! I am so sorry about the fish hook! We need to be more diligent in our inspections. I'm glad you were able to see the dolphins during your stay! That is certainly one of the highlights of staying on the bay! Give us a call when you need another getaway!"

"I am very pleased with my experience at “mamma’s happy place, too”! We had a nice relaxing time watching the birds and dolphins on the water. With a nice quiet neighborhood that was a perfect place to walk our small dog, we were able to enjoy each other’s company. The house is a short drive to anything you could possibly want to do on vacation, including dining, golf, fishing, hanging out at the beach, or family fun at several different places. "

"Thank you so much, Kevin, for the great review of your stay at Mama's Happy Place, Too! I am so glad that you enjoyed your time here! We would love to have you come back down and stay with us again!"

"very nice location if you want be be away from the crowds"

"It is very peaceful, isn't it? And with a great view of the bay! We look forward to seeing you again!"

"We loved the house and its location. It was very clean and well maintained. The only thing that I would change is the mattress in the master bedroom....if two people are in it, it tends to pull them into the center! Great for snuggling but not great if you need elbow room in the bed :) Otherwise it is a great place to escape to and avoid the hustle and bustle of everyday life! The management team was very good in answering questions and very easy to work with!"

"YAY!! We appreciate the feedback! We are so very glad you enjoyed your escape. Come back real soon!"

"Our stay at this rental was great!!! The house was cute and the deck and view were amazing. The house was great and the only thing that kept it from being perfect was the loud HVAC unit. It was load when running in the house and outside as well while relaxing on the deck. Other than that the stay was just about perfect (other than it rained a lot but of course that couldn't be helped : ) We have always stayed on the beach side but we will definitely be bay people in the future. Hoping this house will be available when we can make out next trip down to Gulf Shores/Fort Morgan. "

"Awesome! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay in Mama's Happy Place, Too! The view of the bay doesn't get much better! Give us a call and we will get you booked for your next trip!"

"MHP2 was the perfect place for us for a great time at the coast. The house is located on a canal that opens to Mobile Bay and is walking distance to the gulf beach. It had everything we needed. The folks at Sunset Properties are so nice and helpful if you have any questions. We will be back next year!"

"Awesome! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at Mama's Happy Place! And what a beautiful view of the bay! Give us a call when you are ready to book for next year! Share about your stay on our Facebook page!"

"The house was adorable. Wonderful view. Very quiet area. The beach is super close. The beach area was great. It was not crowded for a public beach. I would definitely stay here again! "

"Yay!! Thank you so much for the great review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Mama's Happy Place, Too! Fort Morgan's beaches are beautiful and uncrowded. Check out our Facebook page and leave us a review to help spread the word! Come back and stay again soon!"

"Our family's first time in this part of the country. We were thinking of finding a place in the Panhandle and stumbled upon this place searching online. It was just perfect! It is such a relaxing, peaceful area and the house/deck/docks/location were amazing! House was situated on the water in which we were able to enjoy beautiful sunsets sitting on the deck or docks below. Stunning views all around. The house was charming and very clean. Spacious kitchen and plenty of counter space to cook and/or entertain. This is a real gem - we will be back! Also - great neighbors who are friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about the area. The kids were able to fish right off the dock and we met the resident heron who would sit patiently waiting for his dinner. We learned from the locals his name is Sam :) Just a wonderful vacation!! "

"Thank you so much for the great, detailed review!! We love it when our guests are able to relax and enjoy their vacation! And, yes, the view from Mama's Happy Place, Too is awesome! Check out our Facebook page and help spread the word with your review! We hope you are able to come back soon!"

"This was our second vacation to the gulf shores of Alabama but our first time renting on the bay. We loved our quiet little slice of heaven. It was a perfect get-away. "

"So glad you enjoyed your stay on the bay! We think the views are beautiful! Hope to see you again soon!"

"Had a great visit in mama's happy place II. It felt like home. Even the permanent residents helped us to feel like we were home. Everything was clean and well organized . Thank you to the owners ."

"Thanks for writing a review, this is one of our new properties and we are really excited about it! Hope to see you again soon!"
