My family is planning a vacation for the week of September 21 this year. We woud love to come to Gulf Shores. We have some specific needs/wants in a house and are having trouble finding anything that will work. I was hoping someone would have some suggestions. We are looking for a Gulf front home with no less than 4 bedrooms. We would like the house to be pet friendly and have a pool and to pay no more than $3800, if possible. Does anyone have any suggestions on where we could find this? We are hoping to not have to go to another destination. Thank you!!

My family and I just returned from a week at the beach. We stayed approximately 16 miles down the Fort Morgan road from Gulf Shores. We were perplexed by many jagged wooden pylons embedded in the sand. Most of these were fully visible during low tide. It almost looked like an old barricade system. Any idea what these are?

My wife & I are taking our daughters the Gulf shores in August. They are 11 & 8. They are interested in trying fishing, but I don't want to spend a ton of money to charter a boat, and I don't have any equipment myself. Is there a fishing pier anywhere close? Or maybe a short fishing excursion on a boat we don't have all to ourselves? Also, please provide your restaurant recommendations for a good burger place, a steakhouse, and an italian restaurant. Thanks!

Hello! :) We are going this weekend and we have 3 kids (1,3 and 6). The older two boys are BIG in castles right now and we just studied the civil war. So they will love these Forts. Which one is better for kids, more "wow"? More canons? Any tunnels? You can just tell me which you like for whatever reason. :)\ We only have one morning and do not think we can do both, we are driving to Johnson's Beach, so we cross the bay anyways. Thank you anyone for your feedback.
