Summer Break is almost here! Don't miss the Waves, Sand and Sun🌞

The Rookery is a quiet, low-density community located adjacent to the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. It is very popular with families due to the great amenities such as two pools, a covered gazebo, hot tub, tennis courts, a community grilling area with picnic tables, and nearby world class golf courses. The beach is just a short walk or drive from the beach house. It is very hard to find this combination of price, size, and amenities! You are far enough away from the hustle and bustle to appreciate the tranquility of the area, but still close enough to enjoy all the great attractions and restaurants that Gulf Shores has to offer!
Put up your feet and feel the breezes while you rock or swing on your private screened porch. Relax in your snug cottage professionally decorated in soothing neutral colors with comfy beds, sofas, and chairs and old-fashioned pine floors. Enjoy your favorite movies or cable television in the family room and both queen sized bedrooms. TV with DVD player, and free WIFI is also available in the kids room where you will find two twin beds. The Rookery is .4 miles from the beautiful white sand beaches of the Fort Morgan peninsula.

The wildlife refuge offers several easy trails through saw grass marsh and slash pine forest where you can encounter 500 different animal and bird species. Fort Morgan Peninsula is in the bird and butterfly migration route. In early spring and late fall, the whole peninsula is alive with birds and butterflies including Monarchs and Gulf Fritillaries. In addition to the usual gulls and sand pipers, you may find kestrel, anhinga, osprey, great blue heron, and several different species of hawks, including sharp-shinned and Cooper's. Bring your camera so you can take your own little bit of paradise home with you. Historic Fort Morgan is only 4.5 miles from the cottage. You can catch the ferry that will take you across the bay to Dauphin Island where you will find more walking trails and the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.
