We had a wonderful time staying here. The views are amazing & it’s right on the beach as the pictures show. Gail was very nice & informative! Hoping to come back soon!
I have stayed at many many properties in Fort Morgan over the years on both the bay & beach side & this was by far my favorite on the beach side.. comfortable & completely equipped with everything you need in the perfect location. Will most definitely be back again!!
The property was just as advertised. It was very clean and modern and the arrival process was simple. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay with our 4 kids. The easy beach access was amazing and we enjoyed the outdoor shower area. The short drive to Gulf Shores popular destinations was also a plus. Would absolutely stay here again!
We spent the weekend at the beach in this perfect property. Right on the beach with everything we needed

Really enjoyed the house on the beach.
We actually stayed previously at another property just a few down the beach, but this time it was just me and my husband and we didn’t need a big house. This place was just right not too big for just two and yet big enough for a few more.
We had a wonderful stay! The immediate beach access was wonderful! . The property is well done and very nice. The only thing was the master bedroom mattress was extremely hard and not very comfortable. That was the only downcheck. Highly recommend it!!!

Loved the location. Perfect spot for my family of 5. It is a duplex so you have neighbors. Fortunately we had good ones.
The unit was just what we expected. So easy to run up from the beach if we forgot something. We took our kayaks and stored them in the parking underneath the house. There was plenty of room for our other beach gear as well.

This is a great little house, right on the beach, and with fantastic views from the decking. It is attractively simple and perfect for a small family (2 adults, 2-3 kids). It's also within easy driving distance of local restaurants and stores. We had a great time, and will definitely come back.

What a prefect place to stay! Cozy house right on the ocean. Every single experience we had with the rental agency as perfect! They kept me updated with texts and emails prior to our visit, checked to make sure all was ok when we checked in, and left us a number to reach out to if we had any questions while we were there. Check in couldn’t have been easier! The house was so clean and had everything we could need. To be able to go from the beach to the house so easily was nice. Local restaurants within a quick drive. We had the perfect vacation!

We had a great stay. My only complaints:1. Had to sweep up sand from living room when we got there first thing. I am sure it was as small as someone forgetting something and running on to get it and tracking sand in on their feet. But when you are told you cannot access property till a certain time because a cleaning crew has to clean first and then cannot walk barefoot in the unit on first entry because sand is all over, well that is annoying the first 5 minutes of your vacation. This was not just a little grit either. Sand is inevitable at the beach, however, we do not walk inside with our shoes, but leave them outside or immediately on a Sand is inevitable at the beach, however, we do not walk inside with our shoes, but leave them outside or immediately on a towel by the door. Otherwise spotless. 2. Not a complaint but an annoyance. Would be nice that if there is a gate at the top of the stairs as it did and was appreciated, that it had an appropriate way to keep it latched. There was a bungie chord which kept coming off when releases and was too stretched to try to tie on and then was too shorty. Had no tools so we could not bend one end around the hook to keep it on. The latter would be an easy fix for the next guest with pliers.3. If there was a third, what can you do about the whole vacation being over too **** fast?!!!We had a great time despite the weather.
This house was in a perfect location - only steps from the ocean, beautiful views & only a couple of miles from local stores. As pictured the "master bedroom" has no closet and only 1 small clothing storage area - which for us was a little inconvenient but we made it work. Also there's only 1 full bath that only has a shower - no tub. We made that work too, but with 2 small children that also was a little inconvenient but overall the house was good for a small family. We did have to clean the sink good before thawing out our food for the night when we first arrived - sink was left with a dirty film. And after a couple of nights there we did notice a couple of good sized bugs. I mentioned this to management and they stated that extra pest control measures would be taken.
**After we left I got an email stating that my card was going to be charged $89 because there was a hole in the king comforter and a picture attached. I emailed back stating I didn't agree with the charges because I'm certain that did not happen while we were there - they insist it did. I didn't take photos upon arrival or departure. After emailing back and forth with management they stated that they weren't going to charge my card but this whole situation made me very angry. My family has been renting beach houses in the Fort Morgan area for over 15yrs. Never have we EVER been accused of messing up property or charged for anything upon departure. So sadly, I will not rent from this company in the future.

This duplex was perfect for my family of 5! The whole of the space isn’t large but it was plenty for us (3 small kids). It is updated and well kept. The location to the beach can’t be beat! We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend to a small family.
We had a great experience here. The beachfront was so convenient, and it was so nice to be able to include our dog in the fun! The beach was wonderful and not crowded, kitchen was stocked, deck is perfect. A++
Location is perfect! Absolutely gorgeous views and steps away from the sand. House has everything you could need but you won't be inside much at this location.Can't wait to return!
