Why We Wrote It
As a family-run short-term rental host here in Fort Morgan, we've welcomed hundreds of families over the years. We noticed how often guests asked for recommendations, and we wanted to go the extra mile. This book is our way of sharing the love — for Gulf Shores, for family time, and for memory-making moments by the sea.
Family Fun in the Sun is available as a free digital flip book
