Welcome to Jellyfish Twist
Nestled along the quiet stretch of Fort Morgan, just 17 miles from the bustle of Gulf Shores, Jellyfish Twist offers more than a beach escape—it’s a retreat where the pace slows, the skies open wide, and the stars still shine brightly at night. Here, seclusion meets comfort, and every detail has been designed to make you feel at home while giving you space to breathe, recharge, and reconnect.
For your stay, a signed lease agreement, photo ID, and security deposit are required, ensuring a smooth and secure booking process. We also welcome pets with a small fee, so your four-legged companion can enjoy the retreat right alongside you.
Spend your mornings sipping coffee on one of three private decks, watching pelicans glide effortlessly across the horizon and listening to the laughter of seagulls. By evening, settle into the front porch swing or the double glider with a cocktail in hand as the sun melts into the Gulf. Fort Morgan’s historic fort is just down the road, and the ferry offers an easy ride to Dauphin Island, where you can explore the Estuarium aquarium, Fort Gaines, and the natural beauty of the island.
Inside, Jellyfish Twist is as thoughtful as it is inviting. Each guest is welcomed with freshly laundered bed linens, clean comforters and shams, and two pillows per person—ensuring restful sleep after long days of salt and sun. Bathrooms are stocked with plush towels, hand lotion, and a full range of toiletries, from shampoo and conditioner to shower gel and liquid hand soap. For beach days, six beach towels and a cart filled with toys make the trek to the sand effortless.
The kitchen is fully equipped for those who love to cook and gather. A Brita water filter saves you from endless bottles, while pantry staples such as salt, pepper, Old Bay, and garlic powder are ready for fresh seafood feasts. Local coffee roasts, pods, and filters are provided, with a charming upstairs coffee bar (and a tiny refrigerator for cream) to make mornings extra special. Dish cloths, Swedish reusable cloths, and paper towels are all here to keep cleanup simple.
Every convenience has been considered: laundry detergent sheets, dryer sheets, trash bags, Charmin and Reel toilet paper, even a Swiffer with pads—making extended stays as effortless as short ones. Guests who prefer not to pack bulky beach gear can easily secure chairs, umbrellas, and Shibumi rentals through our online store—the rental company delivers and collects everything for you.
At Jellyfish Twist, time slows down, and life takes on a gentler rhythm. It’s a place for long conversations on breezy porches, late-night stargazing, and easy access to both history and adventure. Whether you’re here with family or friends, this beach house is more than a getaway—it’s a refined retreat that feels like home.
