About Miriam/Owner

We are so thrilled to have a vacation home in Ft. Morgan since Miriam grew up in Mississippi and spent many summers on the Gulf Coast as a child, While we were stationed at Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi and England Air Force Base in Louisiana,we vacationed on the Gulf Coast many times and experienced a number of other areas. We believe Ft. Morgan is especially inviting with its laid back, family friendly feel and charm.

Miriam/Owner purchased this house in 2009
Why Miriam/Owner chose Fort Morgan

While visiting family in Fort Morgan,we fell in love with the area. Ft. Morgan is truly a unique beach destination with its colorful palette of eclectic beach homes positioned near the water. Some have described it as the 'last beach frontier' with its lack of commercialism, yet close proximity to shops, golf courses and restaurants. Its relaxed ambiance, lazy streets, and family friendly environment are reminiscent of simpler times. It is not unusual to see locals as well as visitors enjoying leisurely bike rides while watching wildlife or beach activities. Ft. Morgan is a charming,friendly community with a small town feel.

What makes this house unique

Our home provides a comfortable setting for family gatherings with its large rooms, ample storage and close proximity to the beach. Its fully equipped kitchen will meet your needs to prepare sumptuous meals using local fresh seafood found at nearby markets. But if you'd prefer to dine out, there are many excellent restaurants that you can experience listed for your convenience in our welcome book along with activities of interest and attractions in the area. This is our family's vacation home so we make every effort to maintain it in the best way possible to ensure it will be comfortable for us as well as our guests. We enjoy sharing it with others and doing what we can to help our guests have the best experience possible!

Great Place!

5 of 5
Submitted: March 20, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
The perfect getaway at a great price! Mim’s Whim has everything you could need or want and clean! The view was great, saw a dolphin from the deck one morning. The rooms were set up so nice and the bed was comfortable; great mattress! It was furnished as you would want your own beach home. The beach was just a walk across the street. Grab the chairs provided and sit with your feet in the sand or enjoy the ocean from the deck. It was a wonderful place to spend our anniversary and I look forward to taking the family next time. Even a “welcome book” to help you find anything you might need for your stay. We used it to plan where we wanted to eat. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely beach house with us and being such a joy to work with.

Owner's Response: One of the things I enjoy most is working with the wonderful people who stay at Mim's Whim. I especially enjoy sharing information about the area through our Welcome Book or on the phone to help make their vacation experience a memorable one.

Beautiful place for a family vacation

Mim's Whim is a beautiful place for a family vacation.The house exceeded our expectations and was very clean.. The house had everything we needed for our stay and the welcome book was very helpful and informative. We vacationed with our two teenagers and made many memories that will last a lifetime. The beach was nice and quiet and not crowded. We saw the dolphins just about every day.It is conveniently located just a short drive from Gulf Shores and Pensacola.Mim and Mason called to check and see how our stay was going and if there was anything we needed which was a nice personal touch . We are already planning our vacation for next year and plan on staying at Mim's Whim again. We would highly recommend it to anyone that wants to have a quiet,relaxing and memorable vacation.Our family hated to have to leave and can't wait to come back next year.

Owner's Response: We are always glad to hear that our guests have everything they need during their stay at Mim's Whim--- whether it's a fully equipped kitchen to prepare meals at the house or information on where to go out to eat.

Mim's Whim was everything and more of what we were looking for in a winter getaway. From the tastefully decorated rooms and well supplied kitchen to the very helpful suggestion book we could really relax and thoroughly enjoy our stay. We could explore the gorgeous Fort Morgan/ Gulf Shores area but at the end of the day have a charming "homey" place to return to. Thank you Whitnays for making your little cottage our perfect destination.....would love to do it again. Doug and Sharon
Owner's Response: It's wonderful to hear that Mim's Whim felt like "home." We do our best to make our guests feel that it is a warm, inviting home for them during their stay. We do so enjoy 'sharing' our vacation home and it's great to hear others enjoy it as much as we do.

Mim's Whim is where you want to stay if you want all the amenities of the larger beachfront homes without the price. The home is gorgeously decorated and fully stocked with everything you'll need to make a great vacation complete. It has an excellent floorplan and is all on one level which is very convenient. Only steps from the beach, we never had to pack up a cooler and lug it to the shore. For the fishermen, it is only 2 miles to the boat launch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return again.

We LOVED Mims Whim!! The house was exactly as expected (maybe even a little better) and had everything a person might need while staying away from home....definitely a "home away from home". The owners were very helpful, friendly, and easy to deal with. The beds were some of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on.....aside from the beach, that was the hardest thing to say goodbye to! I should also mention that the price was a steal considering the proximity to the beach. It was as close as you could be without actually being on the beach! We were 100% satisfied with Mim's Whim and would recommend it to anybody that wanted to stay in Fort Morgan!
