We had a great stay! Everything was as described and we had easy beach access. We had some issues getting Google Maps and Waze to find the address- both kept taking us to an address down the street, but once we found the correct location, we could easily spot the home from the road and had no other issues finding it when we went out. Our host was quick to answer questions and checked to make sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely vacation here again!

Great place to relax

We had such a wonderful time here. The house was very comfortable for our group. The privacy and beach access right out the front door was the best! Very quiet, safe place for adults and children. Would recommend!

great stay!

Had a great time. Plenty of room for all of my family and it was right on the beach. Felt very comfortable and safe. Lots to do outside of the beach, but the beach was the best part. Clear water, crab hunting, fishing just so much fun.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Upon arrival the first evening, discovered floors were gritty, sand was in the linen on the master bed. There was dried liquid on the walls in the kitchen and master bedroom. The refrigerator had broken shelves. Every interior door in the house would either stick or would not close. The master bathroom had mold/mildew on the ceiling. There was dust caked on the light fixtures and mirror in the master bathroom. One of the mini-blinds in the master bedroom had several broken blades on them. The pillows were brown from stains and the majority of the furniture had several stains on them. Lastly, the flooring in both bathrooms had soft spots. We were only there for the holiday weekend so I chose not to notify the property owner. I did notify the owner at the conclusion of our stay and addressed all of the above listed concerns. The response was that they would come look at the property and speak with Reed Realty in Fort Morgan, the property manager. There was never any offer for any refund NOR was there any apology for the condition of the rental. And on top of that, we were charged 300 cleaning fee and 143 service fee for something that was obviously not clean prior to our arrival. I completed the evaluation/survey for Reed Realty and turned in at checkout. We have yet to hear anything from Reed. I will not be renting ANY properties in the future in Fort Morgan managed by Reed Realty.

I do apologize for any issues you had - and they did come out immediately after departure. I wish you had reached out to them at the numbers provided in your arrival info - they would have sent out new housekeeping etc to address any problems during your stay but no one heard anything until after you left. They did not find mold - but did find some dust on the vents which unfortunately happens over time. The service fee is a vrbo thing and there is no control over their charges. All other things that were found have been remedied.

Absolute Perfection

What an absolutely darling house in a quiet spot! We loved every minute of our stay. I don’t think I’ve ever checked in to a cleaner home, and it is so well equipped with all the necessities. Short walk to the perfect beach. I wish I could have stayed forever! Will definitely rebook! Don’t hesitate to book this adorable house!!

Beach trip

Beach house was a short walk to the beach which was great. Beds were comfortable, great water pressure, wonderful a/c, no bugs. We would stay again. There wasn’t an ice maker in the fridge or ice trays. Would recommend stopping at the dollar general and grabbing a few bags of ice on the way in.
