Barefoot Property at Gulf Shores Alabama

Sharing is caring!

When it comes to planning a large family vacation, finding a property that offers plenty of space, beachfront access, and amenities everyone will enjoy can be a challenge. That's exactly why the Barefoot Property beach house, managed by Harris Vacations, stands out as one of the most impressive vacation homes along Alabama's Gulf Coast.

I have stayed in condos and such at Gulf Shores, but have never stayed in a beach house, and now that I have, it is my favorite way to stay when visiting the area.

The Barefoot property is so huge — it holds 28 people. It's a great house to rent when you are having a wedding, family reunion, or a huge get together with friends.

Located in the peaceful community of Fort Morgan, Barefoot offers a quieter alternative to the busier areas of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach while still providing easy access to restaurants, attractions, and beautiful stretches of white sand beach.

Barefoot Property is A Beachfront Home Designed for Large Groups

One of the first things you'll notice about Barefoot Property is its size. This stunning beachfront home features eight bedrooms, seven and a half bathrooms, and accommodations for up to 28 guests. Whether you're planning a multi-family vacation, family reunion, church retreat, or girls' getaway, there is plenty of room for everyone to stay comfortably.

The home's open-concept design creates a welcoming atmosphere where guests can gather together without feeling crowded. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcase incredible Gulf views, and multiple living spaces make it easy for both adults and kids to have their own areas to relax.

My Favorite Parts of The Barefoot Property

This beautiful beach house comes equipped with an elevator to get you from floor 1 to floor 3.

If you have someone in your family that needs handicap accessible elements, then this is it. My mother-in-law got to come with us on this trip and she had the best time. She was able to move all over the house with her walker because of the walk in shower and the elevator that is installed.

She is 69 years old and had never been on vacation anywhere. Her favorite thing to do while here was sit on the back deck, under the covered portion and just watch the water.

Her bathroom was wonderful and she wished she could have taken the shower home with her. It was a beautiful walk in shower –perfect for someone who can't step up or into a tub.

A Kitchen Made for Feeding a Crowd

Large-group vacations often revolve around meals together, and Barefoot's kitchen is built for exactly that.

The fully equipped gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, double ovens, double dishwashers, and plenty of prep space. An additional full-size refrigerator and standalone ice maker make it easy to stock up for a week at the beach.

The large dining area offers enough seating for shared meals while still allowing everyone to enjoy panoramic Gulf views. Whether you're cooking fresh seafood from a local market or preparing breakfast before a beach day, the kitchen becomes one of the home's favorite gathering spots.

Private Pool and Direct Beach Access

The true highlight of Barefoot is the outdoor space.

A private heated pool is built directly into the expansive beachfront deck, creating the perfect place to cool off while enjoying ocean views. During cooler months, guests can take advantage of seasonal pool heating, making it a year-round amenity.

When you're ready for the beach, a private boardwalk leads directly from the house to the sand. No busy roads to cross. No long walks carrying beach gear. Just step outside and you're on one of Alabama's most beautiful stretches of coastline.

The spacious decks provide plenty of room for morning coffee, afternoon sunbathing, or watching unforgettable Gulf sunsets each evening.

The Living Area

Most evenings, after all the activities were done for the day, you could find our entire family piled into the living room watching movies together.

I love how the kitchen and the living room were all one big room. The sofas were super comfortable and enough room for our entire family to sit together.

And the decorations chosen for the house were just beautiful. They were not super ornate, but just beachy, simple, and really added a beautiful touch to this comfy home.

I think the thing that my family loved most about this house was the pool. My kids looked up and down the beach at all the other houses and not one of them had a pool.

This house comes equipped with a private pool — which is perfect when you are not feeling like going down to the beach, but you want to swim.

Pet-Friendly Beach Vacations

For many families, vacations aren't complete without their furry family members.

Barefoot is pet-friendly, allowing up to two pets with applicable fees. Fort Morgan is known for being more relaxed and less crowded than other Gulf Coast destinations, making it an excellent choice for travelers bringing pets along.

Why We Love Fort Morgan

One of the biggest reasons we return to Fort Morgan year after year is the atmosphere.

Unlike the busier sections of Gulf Shores, Fort Morgan offers wide beaches, fewer crowds, and a slower pace. Visitors can spend their days enjoying the Gulf, exploring the historic Fort Morgan site, golfing nearby, fishing, or dining at local favorites along the peninsula.

Many visitors specifically choose Fort Morgan because the beaches feel more secluded and peaceful, making it easier to truly unwind. And the best part is that the beaches on this end are pet-friendly!

Final Thoughts

If you're searching for a luxury beachfront rental that can comfortably accommodate a large group, Barefoot Property checks every box. Between the private pool, direct beach access, spacious living areas, elevator, pet-friendly policies, and breathtaking Gulf views, it's easy to see why this property has become a favorite for family gatherings and group vacations.

Whether you're planning a summer beach trip, a holiday gathering, or a relaxing escape with friends, Barefoot in Fort Morgan offers everything needed for an unforgettable stay on Alabama's beautiful Gulf Coast.
