We Ft Morgan

This home is amazing! The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, baking dishes and anything else you could possibly need! The decks are large with plenty of seating- we especially enjoyed the porch swings! We vacation in Ft Morgan every year (this was our 15th year) and this home is our overall fav! I would also add that Janie, the hospitality manager, was amazing to work with as well!

Easter at the Gulf

This was a great stay for our family reunion of 14. The house was well stocked for meal prep and our crowd. It's a longer drive from Gulf Shores than we realized, which made for quiet, more private beach time. Our favorite part, besides the beach access and porches was probably the huge dining table where we could all sit together for meals and games. Late April was the perfect time to come--75 degree perfect weather and the water temperature was surprisingly pleasant.

Great Family Vacation

What a wonderful place for our 20 family members ranging from 1 year old to 77 years young. The house is lovely and beautifully equipped for a large group. We loved the kitchen that allowed us to have five great family dinners all at one table. The beach is perfect and two swimming pools allowed the little ones to play in the water. No crowds and a wonderful canopy on the beach - you cannot ask for a better place!

As advertised and then some

Quiet, clean, well maintained and completely well equipped! The views were awesome. We couldn't have asked for anything more. It made our short (4 day) stay so much more relaxing to have everything we needed at our disposal. We won't look anywhere else for next year.

Beautiful

This is a big house with lots of amenities on a beautiful stretch of the Gulf Coast. The property manager is fantastic and the house was clean ready for us. There is enough room to move around for a large group. Plenty of parking as well. We met from all over the US for an extended family holiday and we appreciate the hospitality shown by Susan, Janie, and their teams!

Awesome Property

We loved this place. It was like going to your grandmothers house if she lived at the beach. We had our family there for Thanksgiving and it was great. You can't beat the location and the house was beautiful and very well appointed. You will not be disappointed if you stay here. It had a little bit of everything for our family from ages 18 - 80. They were wonderful to work with and the communication was great. Can't recommend this place enough! STAY HERE!!!

Yearly Family Trip

This house was amazing. Beautiful and very clean. It was so roomy and every bedroom had a spacious bathroom. Loved the kitchen and the outside balconies. The property manager Janie Hambric went over and beyond her duty. She was so friendly and accommodating. We will definitely put this place as the best place we have been to yet. Thanks Janie for everything.

3 generations for Christmas

We had 3 generations for Christmas week in this house and it was perfect. 18 adults and room for everyone. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and plenty of towels for showers and the beach on site. Beds were very comfortable, we did have the younger generation in the bunk rooms and they were a little tight for more than 2 adults, but we managed well!. Amazing walkway to the beach with warm water to rinse off in (bonus during cold nights!)

Those Bunk Rooms, while perfect for children, are a little tight for adults; but we are glad to hear that they managed well! We certainly hope you'll stay with us the next time your family wants a beach vacation! Susan and Jerry

Great House and Location

House was exactly as advertised. Very nice, clean, well-stocked home. We do a lot of cooking, and the kitchen did not lack anything. We had plenty of room, be it sleeping, eating, or fellowship time. The access to the beach was easy and the crowds are very light in that area. Also, we used the community pool four times, and aside from once, we were the only ones at the pool. We will seek out this house the next time we stay in the area.

Everything AWESOME!!

Location, location. location. So thankful we chose this location as the private beach was so nice for our family to enjoy. It was great being able to walk from the deck directly on out on to the white sand beach. The house was awesome and perfect for our group of 18 family members. The owners have thought of pretty much everything you need to make your stay wonderful. Dana responded very quickly to any questions and/or concerns we had. Hope to visit Gulf Shores/Fort Morgan and Susan's Sand Castle again!!

Family beach House

This is the second time we have stayed at Susan's sandcastle III and it's like coming home again. We love everything about this house! My mother who is handicapped and can't do stairs or a lot of walking can make her way around this house, inside and out,with no problems and can enjoy being with the family. The kitchen is perfect for big groups to cook and clean up is very easy. I love the fact that each bedroom has its own bathroom! The access to the beach is so easy! One of our favorite parts of the week was watching the blue Angels practice, we basically had the beach to ourselves and a private show almost every day! It was fantastic as usual!

Beautiful Location and Property, Very Kind People

We stayed at this property for an extended family vacation. We had 20 people, including 5 couples and 10 children. The property was family and kid friendly, and everyone of every age (64 down to 2) was very comfortable and enjoyed themselves. The property was meticulously clean, organized, and everything was very nice. We cooked all but 1 meal for the week and had no problems with supplies or space. The owners were extremely kind and responded immediately to all of our questions, and took care of concerns immediately. The location and beach were private and we felt safe and relaxed. We accidentally left a special item, (a comfort baby blanket) and when we realized that we did, we texted the owner and the next morning the cleaning service had our item sent back to us. Thank you so much for going above and beyond, we really appreciate it. We would love to stay again, and are planning to do so.

11adults and 4 little ones four and under.

This was a four generation family. Our family vacation. Everyone had their own bedroom and private bathroom. The canopy at the end of the ramp was perfect. Private beach wonderful. Two dishwashers, two refrigerators, wonderful. When asked for two boosters, they were provided, two pack n plays, provided, insta pot, provided. Janie even came and took our family pictures at the beach. She was wonderful . As one of my grand son in laws said, I cannot think of anything else we could have wanted or needed. God truly provided it all. If there was a downside, it was the community pool. It was not being maintained. We arrived one day to four lounge chairs thrown in the pool, pool not cleaned and trash everywhere. The HOA needs to oversee that and apparently is not. Not the home owner’s fault. We were able to watch dolphins and the Blue Angels practicing. All in all, we were truly blessed and hated to leave. Our four great grandchildren LOVED the ocean. We are truly thankful for our Lord’s provision and for the owners sharing this place and Janie was great!

Slice of Heaven on Earth

We planned a multi-generational family trip that included my husband and I, our 3 adult kids and spouses, 5 grandkids from 5years to 4months, and a great grandmother. The pictures of Susan’s Sandcastle 3 don’t do it justice. This house is beyond amazing. They have thought of everything that you could possibly need. The kitchen is stocked with every gadget you could want. The bedrooms are spacious and beautiful. All the beds are comfortable. The elevator was extremely helpful. Having the walkway to the beach was convenient as opposed to having to climb stairs down and dragging all your things through the sand. There were lots of sand toys and beach towels. The spacious decks were awesome to be able to sit and enjoy the sea breezes, crashing waves, salt air and sunrises. The beach was beautiful and not crazy packed that may change when school gets out but we felt like we had it to ourselves. Everyone had an amazing time and has already started talking about next year. Dana was super helpful answering questions and offering any suggestions. Susan and Jerry thank you for sharing your piece of Heaven with us. Now this is strictly for all who are planning a beach trip— please teach your kids to clean up the beaches. Please keep our beaches clean and protect the sea creatures.

Best beach house ever!

The property was amazing! We stayed here with 24 people (9 adults and 15 kids) over spring break and had a great time. Best features: - The layout! Each bedroom had its own bathroom and all the king suites had access to the deck. The large living area was plenty of space especially with the long table for eating/doing puzzles/playing cards/coloring. - The beach! The beach was amazing. We all loved having access to the beach right out the back doors. The ramp looks a little long on the pictures but it was SO nice to not walk up steps to and from the beach - The property manager! Janie was so amazing to work with. We've stayed at a number of vacation rental properties, and Janie was the best by far about responding to any issues. - The kitchen dishes, cookware, and utensils! We cooked every single night for all 24 people. There were PLENTY of dishes and a vast array of cookware and serving dishes. - The cleanliness/maintenance! This property was very clean and well-maintained. - The deck! We loved all the furniture on the deck as it essentially gave you another (huge) living space. Potential drawback: - It's slightly awkward (but still doable!) to access the beach without going through one of the 4 master bedrooms on the 2nd floor. This was not a problem for us, but I thought I should mention it. I *highly* recommend this house. If you are on the fence, I would rent it. You will not regret it!
