About

Whispering Pines Cottage | Pool + 5 Min Walk to Beach

Escape to the quieter side of Gulf Shores at Whispering Pines Cottage, a stand-alone 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage in the peaceful Rookery community of Fort Morgan.

With room for up to 8 guests, this comfortable coastal cottage gives families and friends space to relax together while keeping the Gulf close by. Walk about 5 minutes to nearby beach access, cool off at one of two community pools, enjoy the hot tub or tennis courts, then settle in for an easy evening at the cottage.

Inside the Cottage

Whispering Pines offers an open living, dining and kitchen area designed for comfortable time together after a day along the Gulf.

The living room features comfortable seating and a Smart TV, while the fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare breakfast before the beach, pack lunches for the day or enjoy dinner at home.

A full-size washer and dryer, high-speed Wi-Fi and central heat and air add the conveniences you want for a relaxed Gulf Coast stay.

Sleeping Arrangements | Sleeps 8

• Primary bedroom — Queen bed + private bathroom
• Guest bedroom — Queen bed
• Guest bedroom — Twin daybed + twin trundle
• Living room — Queen sleeper sofa

Rookery Community Amenities

Your stay includes access to amenities throughout Rookery I & II:

• Two outdoor swimming pools
• Zero-entry pool with kiddie area
• Hot tub
• Tennis courts
• Picnic and grilling areas
• Peaceful community grounds

Beach Access

Nearby beach access is located across Fort Morgan Road via Cortez Street Public Beach Access. From the cottage, it's about a 5-minute walk, making it easy to enjoy morning walks along the Gulf or spend the day with your toes in the sand.

Beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers are not provided, so remember to bring your favorite beach gear.

Discover Fort Morgan

Fort Morgan offers a different Gulf Shores experience—quieter surroundings, coastal scenery and plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors.

Explore historic Fort Morgan, ride the Mobile Bay Ferry to Dauphin Island, walk the nature trails at Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, book an inshore or offshore fishing trip, play a round at Kiva Dunes or spend an afternoon on a dolphin or sunset cruise.

And some days don't need an itinerary at all. A morning at the beach, an afternoon by the pool, dinner on the grill and a comfortable evening back at the cottage can be just right.

Easy Arrival & Local Support

You'll have private access to the entire stand-alone cottage. Self check-in is provided with a smart lock, and your personalized door code will be sent before arrival.

Aqua Vacations & Sales Group is locally based and available during your stay if assistance is needed.

Beautiful Location, But Needs Improvement

July 2026

Overall
1

The location is beautiful. The listing states that the master bedroom has a king bed, there in fact was no king bed. The bedroom with the trundle bed, the lower pyll out bed had multiple urine stains and no bedding. The cookware was awful, absolutely AWFUL and burnt and ruined what we tried to prepare. I also feel like if you have a home that you list is suitable for EIGHT PEOPLE, there should have been updated, and selection of kitchen utensils etc. There was visible hair,dirt and sand around the toilet and bathtub, and visible stains on the bedding off the living room. Not to mention the visible dust and dirt on all surfaces. When I reached out to Dana she responded that she'd send her cleaning crew out, problem with that was all 8 of us had already unpacked and I told her that we had already left for the day that I had just wanted her to know and her cleaning crew went in while none of my party was there supposed to clean and when we arrived back nothing was cleaned or any differen

Manager's Response

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful location, though we're disappointed your stay did not meet your expectations. We take cleanliness concerns seriously. When you notified us, we immediately arranged for our housekeeping team to return and address the reported issues while your group was away so you could continue enjoying your vacation. Our team reported that they addressed the items they found, and we're sorry if the outcome did not meet your expectations. Regarding the bedding, the home is equipped to accommodate the advertised occupancy. We were over the occupancy number so that is why you did not have extra linens other than extra blankets. We also regularly inspect our mattresses and bedding, and the bed configuration in the home matches our listing. We appreciate your comments regarding the cookware and kitchen inventory. While previous guests have not raised these concerns, we have since reviewed the kitchen items to ensure they continue to meet our standards. We are always committed to providing a clean, comfortable experience for every guest and appreciate feedback that helps us continue improving.

A True Home Away From Home

July 2026

Overall

You're about 20 minutes from the main drag which isn't a bad thing. The Airbnb itself was very clean and spacious. Definitely gave you a home away from home feeling. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well supplied. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The hosts were pro-active in making sure you got settled and didn't have any issues. Really great on response time. Highly recommend staying here. You won't be disappointed.
