Great beach house!
First off, we love Fort Morgan area! It’s far enough away from the party scene for us and makes for an enjoyable family vacation with our young children. We’ve stayed in this particular neighborhood about 4 times, and the houses are all set up about the same. What sets this one apart is the amenities available for the cabin. There is a large storage box outside with all sorts of sand toys,kites, beach chairs, beach mats, and even has charcoal and lighter fluid in it left from past guests. There was a chest inside, too, filled with board games, puzzles, and a Bop-It (my kids LOVED the Bop-It). The room with two bunk beds (4 twin sized beds) was a perfect place for the kids to chill. There was a tv in that room, along with all of the other bedrooms and the living room, but we only watched the one in the living room. It was more than enough. The screened in front porch had a couple of comfy Adirondack chairs and a small bistro set. There is a charcoal grill and an outdoor shower with foot rinse. There were more than enough pots and pans, cutlery, knives, etc. There was a blender, cutting boards, large pitchers for mixing cool drinks for the kids. The unit also has a 10 cup coffee maker as well as a Keriug, which was nice. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for making this a super comfortable beach trip!!

Nice cottage, across highway from the beach
This cottage is just as it looks. It was clean, has a well stocked kitchen and plenty of room for our family of 5. The location is across the highway from the beach. (This is not clear in the write-up, so wanted to be clear for future renters.)
