My husband and I stayed in this fabulous cottage by the bay for one super relaxing week! The rental was exactly as pictured. The kitchen is fully equiped for all your cooking and entertaining. We loved the layout of the cottage and the proximity to the beach and bay activities! We travel to the Fort Morgan area two to three times a year and this has been our most relaxing stay! You will not be disappointed with this property! We will definitely be booking again!

It was a great quaint place to stay right on the water. There was a house being built two house down so there is construction close by but the exterior is almost done. Great fishing at the dock, good flounders caught and plenty of weak fish around.

Family getaway

Loved our stay! I loved having our own private dock. We sat out there at night listening to the water. Neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. A little bit of a walk to the beach but we found a place we could park that was real close to the beach but the kiddos liked walking so half the time I drove the car back and they walked :) We would rent again!

Great Week!

Weather was not the best for the whole week, but we had a couple very nice days. The fishing was great right off the pier. House was the perfect size for us. The rooms were comfortable. The back deck was my favorite place to read and watch the seagulls.

Perfect R&R!

This is our second time renting Tortuga Bay. We love this quiet spot and the neighbors are warm and friendly. The house is perfect size for our small family and we love that pets are welcome! Tortuga Bay is neat and well organized. You can fish right outside on the private dock. The top deck is perfect for grilling and lounging. We will be back!

At the time of our rental, the surrounding area was quiet outside of the sound of seagulls and mullet jumping! The house was very clean and easy to access via keypad. Property grounds were well-maintained. We enjoyed fishing off the pier and visiting (reconnecting) with neighbors. We will be back in the Fall!
