The end of summer can be a sad time for our sun lovers but fall has ways of making everyone forget their distress, especially when you make plans for a little autumn getaway to the Gulf Shores area. Still providing days that are warm enough for the beach, but as school gets back in session and the annual summer vacations have ended, the crowds lessen, lines in restaurants shrink, and more of our Alabama Beach Vacation Rentals tranquil sanctuaries become available for rent. Fall is the perfect time to enjoy a carefree and relaxing vacation, not just in Gulf Shores, but in Orange Beach and Fort Morgan, and this guide to all the reasons your fall journey to Alabama will be one you will never forget will help build up the anticipation! 

The Festivals  

Although it may still feel like summer, the temperatures drop enough to make fall festivals some of our favorite things to attend. Orange Beach Freedom Fest, held on October 6th and 7th at the Wharf in Orange Beach, offers the Fall Bama Cruisin’ Car Show, food vendors, and arts and crafts that represent the best of Alabama artist’s work. On October 12th through the 15th, the most delicious of festivals comes to Gulf Shores, the Annual National Shrimp Festival! Taking place at the Gulf Shores Main Beach, this festival is one we wait for all year round, featuring live music in a variety of genres, over 200 booths of arts, fine art, and craft vendors, and of course, all the delicious shrimp you can eat, purchased from many of the 50 food vendors that are a part of the festival. Experience the Oyster is another fantastic fall festival, occurring at The Hangout in Gulf Shores on November 2nd and 3rd, celebrating the seafood that makes this part of Alabama one of the best places to live or visit. With live music, oyster farm demos, even an oyster shucking contest that will amaze all that see it, this festival should not be missed. 

Beach Days for the Win 

With the local beaches providing lifeguards through October, your fall escape to the Gulf Shores area can almost feel like an extension of summer, without the high humidity that often occurs in the late summer months. Grab your beach gear (don’t forget the sunscreen) and head to the sandy shores of the Gulf of Mexico for a day of fun in the sun and surf. Real life can be a hectic and chaotic mess, but the salt air, soft sands, and frothy waters will make you forget the outside world exists. Feed your soul with the serenity only found in the salty waters of the Gulf, perhaps work on your fall tan, ensuring friends and family back home will be envious, and just relax. Read a book under a colorful beach umbrella, float in the cool waters—perhaps with a snorkel that will allow you to watch the adventures under the surface—and build sandcastles with your favorite tiny travelers. Your beach days will be ones you can look back on during the busy days that lie ahead, reaching deep inside your memories for a touch of peace! 

Gulf Park Nature Center in Orange Beach 

Offering nature and beach walks through a “forest” of local plants and flower, the Gulf Park Nature Center is a living museum of the plants and animals that make this region feel like a tropical paradise. The cooler days of fall will help you extend your time in nature and their activities calendar is filled with fun adventures that will help give you a greater appreciation for the natural world of Alabama, including the sea turtles, owls, and even alligators that make their homes here.  

Time to Dine 

Although our Alabama Beach Vacation Rentals seasonal sanctuaries provide fully equipped kitchens that you will enjoy puttering around in, you and your family are on vacation and deserve to have at least some of your meals prepared, served, and cleared away by others. Tacky Jacks Fort Morgan, located at 1577 AL-180 in the Fort Morgan Marina, is a harbor-side restaurant serving a seafood-centric menu you will love and offering views of the water you will crave. Pro tip: Everything on the menu is delicious, but you will kick yourself if you leave without sampling their peanut butter pie!

When you want to feel and be treated like royalty during your Gulf Coast vacation in Alabama, the best way to start is by renting this beautiful 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo overlooking the turquoise waters of the sea. Island Royale P403  is perched high above the crowds (on the 14th floor) but not so high that you can’t hear the calming lullaby of the waters below, we at Alabama Beach Vacation Rentals have fallen in love with the serene vibe of this cozy condo that sleeps 6 people comfortably and we think you will too! And because the sea is reflected in the interior décor, popping up in coral prints on throw pillows, paintings of boardwalks leading out to the white sands, and in the charming fish tchotchkes swimming above cabinets in the kitchen, you and your traveling party will never have to lose the rhythm of the Gulf, even when not in view! 

That View 

Stepping inside for the first time will feel like coming home, only better. Your eyes will be instantly drawn to the back wall that consists of sliding glass doors and a peek of the blue of the sky and water just beyond, but during this tour, we are going to drag out the excitement just a little longer, showing off the kitchen that lies just a few feet away from the front door. Open to the rest of the condo and offering walls painted the shade of skies on a sunny day, this cheerful space is well appointed, offering stainless steel appliances, crisp white painted cabinets, and dark stone countertops that extend out into the dining area with an elevated breakfast bar and two cushioned barstools just waiting for helpful visitors to climb on and engage in happy conversations with the cook of the day!  

The dining area, often the center of family chats and game nights as well as the place where most meals will be devoured centers the open concept floor plan, lying between the kitchen and dining room and mostly offering the same views that can be enjoyed throughout the public spaces. (You might expect a few family squabbles as to who has to sit on the end with their back to the views, but with the promise that everyone will take turns, any serious battles will be avoided.) Offering a glass and iron table, and cushioned rattan and iron chairs, there are enough seats for every seat in your traveling party!  

The final section of our tour of the main spaces of the condo, the living area, reveals a room filled with color and comfort. The comfy sofa topped with stormy gray fabric has its own secret to reveal, the fact that it folds out into an equally comfy queen-sized sleeper bed! Facing a large flat-screened television, this spot can be the most comfortable in the house, although the overstuffed reading chair that is placed so as to enjoy the most direct views of those views may run a close second! Topped in the same coral fabric that is found on the throw pillows on the couch, this room is warm, welcoming, and provides the ideal gateway to the views waiting just beyond those sliding glass doors! 

The Suspense Stops Now 

Ok, we know you have been dying to make your way through the doors that lead out to the balcony of this 14th floor escape, so now it is time. Feel the salt air breezes kiss your cheeks and take a moment to let your eyes adjust to the colorful world out here. Life is simple and serene on this balcony, featuring a table surrounded by 4 webbed chairs and 2 lounge chairs that may convince guests that being lulled into sleep by the music of the sea is definitely a very good thing. This space right here, although not big, will take up a large portion of ram space in your memories of your Alabama getaway and if you could only sit out here and relax and recharge, we think you would consider this vacation one of the best ever! 

If You Can Tear Yourself Away 

There are still a couple of more spaces to be revealed, the bedrooms of this charming Island Royale condo. The primary suite is large and bright, anchored by a comfortable king bed and providing a private entrance to the balcony, ensuring that many of your mornings will start with a cup of coffee and incredible views! A television in this space may or may not be used, just as the secondary bedroom’s probably won’t either, there is just too much to see and do during your stay! 

Oh the Amenities 

As if all the above weren’t enough to convince you that this unit should be your home sweet vacation home, enjoying access to community amenities that include two pools, a hot tub, a fitness center, a barbecue area, and a sun deck for lounging will probably do it! Reserve this charming condo today and contact us today!

As the summer draws to an end, we just aren’t ready for the carefree days and vibes to stop. Even in the hottest places on earth, there is a magic that accompanies a summer’s day and we still have a deeper tan to achieve, a greater peace to discover, and more tropical beverages to imbibe! We at Alabama Beach Vacation Resort can’t do anything to slow the passage of time, but we can provide the most comfortable and luxurious escapes in which to enjoy the final holiday of the summer, Labor Day with its long weekend and one last opportunity to play, relax, and celebrate the joys of the season! Falling on September 4th this year, the summer in our little section of paradise will still feel like summer and as you explore the activities you can enjoy in Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, and Fort Morgan, coming home to our holiday hideaways will help expand the opportunities for fun and relaxation! This guide to the best way to enjoy an Alabama vacation over the long Labor Day weekend will give you a little something extra to look forward to in the waning days of the season! 

Tacky Jack’s Bloody Mary 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run, September 2 in Gulf Shores 

A joyful run on a beautiful summer’s day is an activity many people can get behind and Tacky Jack’s Bloody Mary 5K & 1-mile fun run offers a fantastic way to enjoy the long weekend! Starting at 7:30 in the morning (when it is still cool!) and offering a variety of cash prizes, participants are encouraged to wear their favorite football team colors as our football-obsessed coastal village acknowledges this weekend as the kickoff to the season! 

Turnpike Troubadours, September 2, The Wharf Amphitheater in Orange Beach

The Turnpike Troubadours, a country band based out of Oklahoma, is coming to town this Labor Day weekend and with ticket prices starting at $72 (increasing as the seats and the views get better!) this fun event will fit into most travelers’ vacation budgets! 

Fort Morgan State Historic Site, 110 AL-180 

There’s no reason you have to participate in an organized event to have a perfectly wonderful time and the history buffs in our midst will obsess over the opportunity to explore a spot that took a major role in the Civil War and was prominent in 4 wars altogether! Fort Morgan State Historic Site offers a glimpse into the history of war time while also paying homage to the skills of local bricklayers; built of over 40 million bricks, many of which were laid by enslaved Americans, this site will be an interesting addition to your summer adventures in coastal Alabama! 

This Way to the Beach! 

White sands, turquoise waters, and sea oats swaying in the sea breezes come together to create the perfect playground for your holiday excitement in both Gulf Shores AND Orange Beach. Check out the public beaches of Gulf Shores, staking your claim on the section of beach you have been eyeing from your Alabama Beach Vacation Resort oceanfront condo, and spending the day frolicking in the surf, enjoying sandwiches you packed in the cooler, and relaxing under the slightly cooler September rays of the sun. Or, for those who chose one of our Orange Beach cozy condos, do the exact same thing on the beaches of Orange Beach! In both cases hanging around until the sun sets in a fiery ball over the Gulf is highly recommended, but if you can’t hang that long, be sure to pour yourself a chill beverage and enjoy the same views from the patio or balcony of your Alabama holiday hideaway!

At Home with Alabama Beach Vacation Resort 

Your best adventures may take place within the confines of our holiday havens, offering comfort, style, and that beachy vibe that convinces guests that summer can last forever, at least in Alabama!

Hanging out by the resort pools, grilling freshly caught fish on community barbecues, and even ensuring you continue looking fit in your brand-new bikini by working out in the fitness center; these activities and so much more can be enjoyed during your celebration of the holiday in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, or Fort Morgan! Contact us and reserve your favorite escape today!

Filled with Light and Warmth 

Feel your shoulders straighten and your worries drift away with your first steps inside the open-concept floor plan of unit 308A. Harboring no secrets, the sea blue hues on the wall continue the peaceful feel of the gulf located just beyond the sliding glass doors, and everywhere your eyes land, you’ll find something new and exciting to ooh and ahh over.  

The fully equipped kitchen is where we will start this tour, located just inside the front door and adding a touch of luxury to the space. Bright, cheerful, and offering stainless steel appliances, custom cabinets painted a crisp white, and stone countertops that stand out against the blues and whites of the kitchen are just a few of the wonderful amenities stored here. We fully understand the beverage needs of a beach vacation and the counters are lined with all the necessary equipment, a Keurig coffee maker that makes it easy and quick to indulge in your caffeine needs and a blender that will be most appreciated when you whip up a tropical beverage to be consumed while toasting another Alabama sunset! A regular coffee maker for those whose caffeine intake surpasses the cup at a time Keurig and a shiny silver tea kettle perched on the stovetop offer more proof of our dedication to your beverage requirements!  

Just beyond the kitchen, lies the dining room with its glass and iron table surrounded by cushioned chairs that will provide comfort during long board game sessions or family meals filled with fun, food, and conversation. Just be warned that there may be squabbles over who gets the side where the views are visible and who gets the side where their backs will be turned to all the glory outside! A couple of wood barstools are tucked under the breakfast bar of the kitchen, allowing for overflow seating at mealtime.  

Next up on our tour of comfort and joy is the living area. This space is filled with the light pouring in the wall of glass doors that takes up the back of the room and the plush sofa strategically placed in front of the state of the art television also offers views of the patio and the wonders that await just outside. Throughout the rooms of Unit 308A, the sea is reflected in the décor and paint choices, but as you slide open the glass doors leading to the balcony, you will soon discover that nothing compares to the real thing. Furnished with a small table surrounded by chairs and a couple of chaises that invite you to spend many languid hours relaxing in the salt air, the white sand beaches, palm trees fluttering in the breeze, and the blue waters of the Gulf create a real-life postcard scene you will never want to leave!  

This condo is located high enough off the sand that you don’t have to worry about views being blocked by strangers walking by, but close enough to the surf that the sounds of waves crashing against sandy shores will create sweet music for your vacation life! And although the unit offers 3 peaceful bedrooms, each anchored by a variety of beds (King, Queen, and twin over full bunk!) this spot right here will be where you want to spend much of your time during your unforgettable summer vacation in Gulf Shores, Alabama!

Treat the one you call mom this Mother’s Day to a relaxing getaway. Alabama and its many beach towns offers a breath of fresh Gulf air and a unique locale. This includes the beach towns of Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Fort Morgan, just to name a few. You’ll find plenty of fun and exciting Mother’s Day and year-round activities to create a one-of-a-kind Mother’s Day trip she’ll never forget!

Beach Time

Choosing a beach destination means you’ve likely planned plenty of beach time with mom. Fill your days with activities like laying out and sunbathing. Plant a beach umbrella, spread out a blanket, and read or have a picnic. Swim in the Gulf, or change up your regular exercise routine with a run or walk on the beach! Pump up the adrenaline with activities like parasailing, SCUBA diving, snorkeling, deep sea fishing, and more!

Mother’s Day Brunch

Treat mom to a Mother’s Day brunch. There are various restaurants in the area that will be serving up the traditional meal in addition to their normal fare. Contact your restaurant of choice to find out the details like date, time, reservations, and whether they allow pick up or delivery of the special meal so mom can relax and enjoy without a crowd.

Spa Day

Give Mom some well-deserved and much-needed R&R during a Mother’s Day respite to the area. There are several spas throughout Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, and Fort Morgan that are ready to help you and your mom make that total relaxation a reality this Mother’s Day. Choose from an array of services like mani/pedis, body wraps or scrubs, scalp treatments, and much more. If mom’s traveling companions include them, some spas even offer special just-for-men services that pamper them in the ways they need most.

Souvenir City

Mom will no doubt want to remember the trip for years to come, as well as pick up some souvenirs and mementos. The shop has been a Gulf Shores staple since 1956 and is open seven days a week. While you’ll collect souvenirs from other activities and attractions, like beach adventures, the shop has thousands of gifts for everyone on your list. She’ll find something for herself, and maybe the loved ones who couldn’t make the trip with her.

Fort Morgan Road Trail

If mom loves the outdoors, she’ll love lacing up her hiking boots, grabbing a bottle of water and her sun gear, and heading out on an adventure. The 5.6-mile Fort Morgan Road Trail is asphalt and starts just outside the western border of Gulf State Park and stretches west through Gulf Shores. The path runs parallel to Fort Morgan Road/Highway 180 through tree-lined areas and neighborhoods and ending at the Peninsula Golf Club. The trail is an easy hike or bike, as it’s mostly a flat asphalt surface meaning everyone can tag along. The eastern end of the trail has only a few gentle climbs – making it easy for groups of all skill levels to enjoy. Add some difficulty when you continue through Gulf State Park’s Hugh Branyon Backcountry Trails.

The Wharf

Head to the official Entertainment District of Orange Beach with mom this Mother’s Day. There are hundreds of family-friendly events throughout the year, including around the Mother’s Day holiday. Cure your hunger or score some souvenirs in the many shops and restaurants or take a ride with mom on one of the Southeast’s largest Ferris wheels!

Gulf Shores Museum

If you or mom didn’t know much about Gulf Shores and the surrounding area before you arrived, make a stop at the museum. The Gulf Shores Museum is in a house that dates back to before World War II and stood as the beach house of Valerie Cole’s family from Mobile. The house, originally built in West Beach, was donated by the family. The structure moved from that original location to its current home after Hurricane Frederic in 1979. The museum’s many permanent and temporary exhibits tell the story of Gulf Shores’ history. It offers various programs and activities for all ages as well as many interests throughout the year. Check the calendar to see what’s happening during your Mother’s Day visit.

The Perfect Mother’s Day Retreat

When you book a Mother’s Day getaway with Alabama Beach Vacation Rentals, you won’t be short on amazing activities to fill your time. Enjoy the water, lounge around your rental with mom, or experience the myriad of activities available to help build a vacation that is uniquely yours with memories to last a lifetime.

For a stay for just you and mom, or a solo stay for mom, choose a one-bedroom unit, or bring a larger group and spoil everyone this Mother’s Day when you book a five-bedroom unit. Savor the taste of home when you prepare a home-cooked meal in the unit’s fully equipped kitchen. Spread out in spacious living areas or private outdoor spaces like patios and balconies. Unwind in your own private bedroom or gather some snacks and enjoy your favorite movie or TV show together on a flat screen TV.
