Great peaceful location

The house was perfect for our family. Our son and his family had the upstairs and we were downstairs. It was a perfect location to be near our other family. I never get tired of the view of the water so peaceful. We love the beach and can’t wait to come back again.

Very beautiful house with views of the ocean in every room. The house had everything you need for a week or longer. Even though you had houses right next to you, the beach was very private. Lisa stayed in touch the entire stay. We would love to stay again.

Fantastic time!

Everything was as advertised! We contacted the host a couple times and she was very quick to respond and solve our issue. Very private on the beach, we saw dolphins jumping, stingrays, lots of crabs and seashells. The grandkids loved it all.

Wow, what a trip!

This beachfront home was a vacation to remember! Beaches were quiet and empty. Lisa Ray was responsive and great to deal with. She went the extra step with the little touches she adds to make your trip memorable. This is a trip my girls will be talking about for years to come. Plenty of space! Hoping to get the opportunity again sooner than later. Thank you Lisa Ray!

We had a great time at this property. Beach access is great and all the amenities of town are right there too. There were beach chairs, toys, grill, etc so you don’t have to pack everything to go to the beach for a few days.

Great location, and really nice house. The house is far enough away from the crowds, but not Fort Morgan far away. We ate in most nights, but a short drive (4-5 miles) gets you to a lot of good restaurants. All in all, a relaxing week.
