Seaclusion Beach View Cottage, Pet Friendly

When thinking of a name to describe our quaint, remote beach cottage “Seaclusion” was a perfect fit. Seaclusion is in Fort Morgan, AL and 19 miles from the tourist attractions in busy Gulf Shores. There are no roads to cross as the cottage is located on a private dead-end street with a beach access. Located only four houses back at about 200 yards, you can still enjoy a beach view with your morning coffee or watch the dolphins swim from the balcony.
