Our experience planning this vacation from start to finish was seamless. This home is just…lovely. The location is a quiet neighborhood away from all the traffic while still being a short drive to restaurants, shopping, etc… The beach is just a short (5 mins) walk away and is clean and not too crowded. Check in was a breeze. Any contact we made during our stay was by email and answered within minutes. We highly recommend!! Sorry we are leaving but look forward to coming back.

The house was exactly as described. Clean and comfortable. We had plenty of room for all.of us. Getting a golf cart for travel to the beach was essential. Not too bad of a walk, but since we chose the end of July, it was very hot and humid and the walk would have been unbearable. This was out first trip to gulf shores. We decided, it is not for us. Just a personal.preference. the ocean, at this time of year, was full of jelly fish and not a desirable color(brown). And due to he temps and humidity, the pool was too hot to enjoy. I want to say, none of this was fault of the rental. The rental was fantastic and the host was quick to answer any questions. We arrived early and we're allowed to enter early which was kind and a huge help. We give the host and the rental 5 stars easily! Unfortunately, we will not return to gulf shores. Thank you

Great stay for annual couples trip

We had an awesome time at the beach with friends staying here! So much space on all floors and great location to the beach with just a little bit of a neighborhood walk to get to the access point. Really enjoyed how private the beach was and quiet the neighborhood was as well. Highly recommend and would love to stay again!

Pretty House

If you’re going to be rained in by a hurricane for most of your vacation, this house is a good one to stay in. All kidding aside, the house was clean and beautiful. The pool was nice and I didn’t find the walk to the beach to be too daunting. Would stay there again.

Great vacation home

Big Blue Sea was a wonderful vacation home. We enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful; kitchen well equipped for cooking meals; bedrooms and beds were comfortable; everything was clean; and the family areas of the home provided spaces for connecting with one another (pool area was great & living room had games). The host was quick to communicate and helpful! Overall, a nice home for a beach getaway!

Nice House, Great Vacation

The house was very clean, beds and bedding were comfortable. Kitchen was nicely stocked with cookware and utensils. The location was perfect. We loved the quiet neighborhood and private beach. We all had a blast in the pool. You should definitely rent the golf cart. While it is technically within walking distance, the golf cart is very handy when hot, sweaty and tired after a day at the beach lugging all your bags. We would stay here again!

Restful week!

Great location and beautiful property! Plenty of room and well appointed. Great communication with owner Elisa and local property manager Lisa who was readily available for anything. The pool was a perfect perk and of course we love all the little local spots Fort Morgan has to offer! Thanks for a great Labor Day week!

Wonderful!!!

Had a wonderful time, and appreciate onsite managers, Lisa and Jays help. House and pool were great, and glad we got the golf cart. Not far to the beach, but made it so much easier. Adding to our vacation spots to return to. Only drawback were the jellyfish, but that's nature for ya!!! Thanks Elisa!!!

Best neighborhood to stay in Ft Morgan!!! House is within walking distance to beacb access, however a cart rental makes it more bearable!! We had a few minor hiccups upon arrival, but quick communication with owner/property manager corrected those.
