The Robin's Nest

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Affectionately known as The Robin's Nest, this delightful Gulf Shores house offers a prime locale just 600’ from the sugar-white beach! With such a great location, it’s easy to make the most of sun-soaked days beside the Gulf. Travel 2.5 miles to Fort Morgan -- home to a historic fort dating back to 1833. Or head 10 miles to enjoy hiking and nature-spotting around Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. The pristine fairways of Kiva Dunes Resort and Golf are 6.3 miles away. Find family fun at The Park at OWA, 28 miles away. This 520-acre amusement park and entertainment venue features classic carnival rides and roller coasters, as well as seasonal events and live shows.

Rinse off any residual sand in the outdoor shower, then head inside to kick back and relax in the stylish living area, tastefully appointed with a pair of sofas, an oversized armchair, and a 50'' TV. It's easy to prepare your favorite meals in the well-equipped kitchen, outfitted with a full suite of appliances and an open-concept extended bar for guests. For a change of pace, throw something on one of the grills under the house and sear your meals to perfection. When it’s time to eat, gather together at the dining table. Enjoy the coastal breeze on your front porch, or dine alfresco on the screened porch at a table. The sun rises on the front porch side of the home, while the screened porch offers tranquil sunset vistas, providing the perfect way to begin and end every day.

As advertised!
The location was a short 2 min walk to the beach and just down the road from the marina. Accommodations were as advertised and included plenty of room for all. If you are looking for a place off the beaten path and away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Gulf Shores, then this worked well.

Nice beach vacation home.
We loved our stay here. Nice rooms AC worked beautifully. Just a short walk to a lovely beach with white sand and low on crowds. Enjoyed the variety of marine life, seeing dolphins daily, blue crabs, and even saw some so grays jumping out of the water. Enjoyed kayaking and boogie boarding. Home is nicely furnished and we appreciated the use of cooler, beach umbrella, and chairs. Our kids loved playing corn hole with the set there. Televisions in every room was nice and beds comfortable. Wonderful memories!

Nice place
Very nice, clean and quiet place to stay. If you want to stay outside of all the hustle and bustle going on in town I’d highly recommend staying here! Short walk to the beach! The only thing I didn’t like was that the 2 bedrooms downstairs do not have ceiling fans.

Robins Nest was great
The Robins nest property was better than sold. it was a great property. House was very clean. had everything we needed right there in the house. Use of the beach toys, cart and chairs (kept under the house) was a bonus. would book this again if we did the same trip to Gulf Shores

Awesome house in a quiet area.
This house was cozy, clean and the pictures were accurate. All appliances worked well. The beach you have access to wasn’t crowded. Upon check-in, we immediately noticed that one of the dining chairs was broken, and set up in against the wall by the table. This was unfortunate because we like to all sit at the table as a family to eat, and we couldn’t. The front door probably needs to be replaced soon. While the outer appearance looks fine, you can tell there is rot at the bottom inside. The kitchen had a strong smell of having been used as for a crawfish boil. The spices scent never really left.

Great stay
We were really happy with our trip to Fort Morgan for spring break. This property was just what we needed. 2 families with 2 children each. The rooms were just the right size and the kids loved having a tv in their rooms! The check in process was very easy and the house was clean. We had a problem with the upstairs shower not draining well, and when I notified the property manager, he came out the next day with some Drano that fixed it right up! We loved having snacks and coffee out on the porch. The house was very convenient to the beach and to restaurants nearby. We would recommend this property!

Nice house
The house was as described and nice. The only issue we had was through no fault of anyone but the horn on the oil rig that sounded incessantly throughout our trip. Other than that, it was pleasant.

Best Vacation Ever
The property was so wonderful. It was beautiful and clean and we felt at home while away from home. Just a short walk away from the beach and my children absolutely loved the beach. Will definitely be booking this again some day in the future. Best family vacation ever!!
