Gulf Shores Area Overview
Fort Morgan - Gulf Shores - Orange Beach - Perdido Key
Experience the unexpected when your destination is 36 miles of sugar-white sand and blue azure gulf waters of Alabama and Florida beaches. Consider Meyer Vacation Rentals your gateway to a discovery of hidden treasures, where sleepy little fishing villages have transformed to world-class resorts while still maintaining that relaxed, small-town atmosphere that's so inviting.
Meyer has hosted vacationing families for more than 40 years and offers you the largest selection of coastal condominiums and beach houses on the Gulf Coast. Take a look at our overview of the four distinct beach areas that provide something for everyone.
The peninsula of Fort Morgan is rooted in history and surrounded by water from the unspoiled gulf beaches and the peaceful waters of the bay. Nature abounds along the birding trails and Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge trails. Civil War-era history comes alive at historic Fort Morgan at the western end of the peninsula. Two championship golf courses situated on the gulf and the bay create a scenic backdrop to challenge your skills. Condos and beach houses provide a haven for you to explore this secluded world.
The founding families of Gulf Shores were more interested in the lucrative fishing business than the beauty of the beaches, but visitors soon found the destination desirable. This charming coastal location -- Alabama's original beach town -- has been a beloved spot for families to gather for generations. Entertainment is prevalent for young and old, including two popular golf courses, and near to condos and family-style beach houses that grace these award-winning beaches and lagoon waterfronts. Take a trip to where it all began.
Fishing and water sports are popular reasons to vacation in Orange Beach. You'll find an abundance of sport fishing -- including deep-sea excursions, inshore trips, back bay and surf fishing – as well as dolphin and nature cruises. Spectacular views of the gulf from condominiums and houses are matched by scenic vistas from properties located along the bays, bayou and rivers. Whether you're a boating enthusiast or land lover, you'll find this resort appealing.
The seclusion and tranquility of Perdido Key, which means "lost" in Spanish, immediately makes it easy to lose your daily stress. Upscale condos and houses along the gulf and on the picturesque golf course provide a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The island offers plentiful natural habitats at the beaches, bays, bayous and estuaries for plants and wildlife, including ospreys, dolphins and loggerhead turtles. This is one place where you'll enjoy getting lost.
