Furniture very dated and dirty. Property needs to be deep cleaned. There was so much dust on the air purifier and around the doorway by the ac exchange. The sponge intended for dishes was already used and smelled like cleaner. The grounds were GREAT no complaints there.

Short vacay

This was a great place to stay for our 2 nights with my friend and her 2 daughters. The bunk was perfect for the teenager. Sassy Bass was amazing, as usual. The last break before school started and the water was clear and beautiful!!! We love Ft. Morgan!

Great place to stay

Condo was everything we had hoped it would be. We loved just being able to bring food and personal items and move right on in for the week. Beach was one of the best we had been too. The kids loved the pool areas. The Sassy Bass next door had good food. While we spent the majority of our time on the beach our only wish was that it could have been a little closer to "touristy" things like putt putt, arcades, etc. Overall we would definitely stay here again.

Our stay was ok. Resort is nice a few things were shut down. One thing that was not noted was bedding for the pull out couch. We found 2 pillows without cases and a fitted sheet. Other than that it’s an affordable place with great beach access.

Small but Well Suited

The condo was just as advertised. Our family of four slept quite comfortably and had everything we needed. The room was mere steps to three pools and onsite restaurant. It was only about a 3 minute walk down the boardwalk to the beach. Sand was white and water clear. Communication about the accommodations was easy and clear. All pertinent information was provided. We would definitely consider coming back.

Plantation condo

The location of the unit is great. It was very clean, and it was found just as it was advertised. The price was very reasonable. The shower is probably due for an update, but everything worked and we were pleased with the whole experience. The thermostat for the furnace had to be reset to get it working, but that was easily fixed after calling. Overall, we had a great time and plan to return!

As described but under construction

As described, and would have nothing to complain about other than the fact that the pool was completely closed and has been for a while. Which is the reason I booked the condo next to the pool… for kids. Yes, there is access to other pools but not within view From condo. Overall, pleased with everything else as well as short quick access to the beach
