Do you long for that quintessential coastal cottage with screened porch and metal roof? Then, here is your opportunity to have your own little piece of paradise at an affordable price. This beautifully decorated and fully furnished duplex cottage is part of a small 22 acre condominium community called The Rookery II and located on the Mobile Bay side of the beautiful Fort Morgan Peninsula. This serene setting is situated in a wildlife conservation area and offers its residents a sense of simplistic beauty that is only matched by surrounding nature. The community includes underground utilities with two swimming pools (one with jacuzzi, tiki bar and barbecue grills), tennis court, and convenient beach access within walking distance across the street to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. The Rookery II is located about 14 miles west of Gulf Shores, AL on Highway 180 (Ft. Morgan Road) at mile marker 6. Nearby are the beautiful white sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, Mobile Bay, Ft. Morgan Marina, historic civil war fort, bird banding area, Tacky Jacks II (restaurant), Dauphin Island Ferry, and the Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge. Boating, fishing (deep sea and bay), bird watching, nature walks, bicycling, swimming, and sun bathing at the beach or pool are just a few of the many available nearby activities. The Fort Morgan Peninsula is a rare gem because it is one of the few remaining resort areas with quaint and relaxed beach and bay properties that are still relatively unspoiled with commercial development.
