The Compass Rose · Heated Pool Beach Home in Gulf Shores, Alabama (Sleeps 10)
Skip to content
Pick your porch: three levels of covered deck stacked over the pool, so you always have a shady spot whichever way the wind blows.
Spread out after a beach day: someone on the sectional, someone at the table, the deck doors open to the breeze. One big open room, so nobody misses the story.
Pull up a stool at the bar and keep the cook company: coffee in the morning, drinks before dinner, the whole kitchen open to the rest of the house.
Wake up to the Fort Morgan dunes in the window and take your time: king bed, your own TV, and a full dresser so you can actually unpack.
Walk down to this: miles of open sand and emerald water with no high-rises in sight. Fort Morgan's quiet stretch of beach is your backyard for the week. View All 35 Photos
The Experience

Coffee on the balcony,
the pool glowing below,
the Gulf a short walk away.

The Compass Rose sits on the quiet end of Gulf Shores, Alabama, far enough west that the crowds thin out.

Mornings start upstairs, with the balcony door open and the Gulf in view past the rooftops. A five-minute walk puts your toes on a private neighborhood stretch of Fort Morgan sand, and when you come back the pool is waiting, heated saltwater and yours alone, so a fall swim feels like July.

The second floor is one open room where the whole group cooks, eats and talks without anyone stuck in a galley. The king primary suite closes its door on the rest of the house. Downstairs, four more bedrooms split into ensuites and a Jack-and-Jill, which is the setup two families traveling together keep hoping for. Parking fits six vehicles, and the outdoor shower means the sand never makes it up the stairs.

Bring your morning coffee to the upper balcony and watch the neighborhood wake up: shade overhead, breeze coming through, the beach houses stacked out toward the Gulf.

Signature Features

Built around the pool.
Pointed at the Gulf.

Private Heated Saltwater Pool

Fenced, unshared and heated saltwater, soft on your skin in August and still swimmable into the fall, with loungers ringing the deck (heater performance varies with outdoor temperatures).

Gulf Views From Two Balconies

Both floors open onto covered balconies that look toward the Gulf, so coffee happens upstairs, sunset drinks happen downstairs, and the pool stays in sight from either one.

Deeded Beach Access

A private neighborhood stretch of sand sits about a five-minute walk from the front door, on the quiet end of the peninsula where the crowds thin out.

One Big Open Upstairs

Living, dining and a full kitchen share one open second-floor room with a half bath and the balcony right off it, so whoever is cooking stays in the conversation.

A Layout Built for Two Families

The king primary suite sits upstairs on its own, while four bedrooms downstairs split between two ensuites and a shared Jack-and-Jill, so 4.5 baths means nobody waits at 8 AM.

Stocked for Little Ones

A pack ’n play, high chair, baby bath, safety gates, kids’ books and toys are already here, along with every linen, beach chair and umbrella you would otherwise pack.

Fall weeks swim like July. The pool is heated.

Book direct with Corey and skip the platform service fees.

Five bedrooms.
Room for ten.
