Great place and amazing location!

This place is wonderful! It was just right for two adults. Sure, the furnishings might be a bit dated, but they were functional. And nothing can beat this location! We wanted a quiet place for some beach R&R, and we got exactly that!

2024 Fort Morgan trip

We had a very pleasant trip. There were ants in the house, but not enough to bother any of us, did not appear furniture had been moved and cleaned under and behind; quite a build up of dust. It was great to be so close to the beach access. I loved being able to take our dogs to the beach and to meet so many other fur families.

The house was amazing a little small but for a family of 4 perfect. The house is a little lower to the ground than the rest of the houses down there so if you are over 6 foot tall you have to watch your head. The house was clean an comfortable

Ft. Morgan

I rarely leave reviews but this property is definitely a mixed bag. Easy walk to beach, well stocked kitchen. No internet, which as we had a guest from the UK and international data plans are so expensive, this was more than just a small inconvenience. The property owners are also over the top with communication. As in I didn’t respond through the VRBO app within 30 seconds and I was getting texts. Within a minute, I started getting phone calls and she kept calling until I answered-maybe the 4th/5th time? Then when I questioned the lengthy check out process (sweep/mop floors, wash sheets and have back on bed, clean the bathroom) as I had paid for the cleaning service which I feel should cover mopping, she called 15 times in a matter of minutes while we were trying to enjoy the beach. The excessive nature of the property owners more than make this property not worth it. I’m on vacation-call once, leave a message and I will return calls when I’m not trying to spend time with my family. The only time we had peace was after I blocked the number (25 calls/close to as many texts) and I also feel VRBO should do a better job at protecting customer information and force contact through their app. We have been taking beach vacations for 20 years and have never had a stay quite like this one.
