My son and I had a great stay. We fished the whole trip and this was in a perfect location for that. We were right down the road from Fort Morgan Beach and about 20min from the Gulf State Pier. There’s a nice Market Dollar General about 3 minutes from this property that was very convenient for food, ice, snacks, etc.

Wonderful week!

We had the best time! This was a great beach house, tucked in off the road and close to the water/dock. My husband fished every morning, we saw dolphins multiple days and slept great! Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Cute house on the bay

The house is beautifully decorated with an amazing view of the bay, with a dock. It has most everything you would need to cook meals in the kitchen and plenty of towels for both bathrooms. We would stay here again.

Wonderful stay!

We had a great stay! Our AC went out all of a sudden putting us at 85* indoor temp. They were very accommodating in relocating us until the tech could fix the issue. Communication was excellent! This is our 2nd time staying in this house and look forward to doing it again!

Lovely Bay side oasis

Very nice property and comfortable accommodations. Large kitchen and beautiful view of the bay from every window of the living area. We fished off of the dock and enjoyed the patio for coffee in the morning and wine in the evenings. Easy check-in and check-out. Not many choices for eating out during the off season so be prepared to either cook or drive a ways to eat. Overall, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Exactly what we wanted!

Our family of 6 (parents and kids 15, 13, 10, and 1) had such a great time here! The home was clean and kitchen had everything we needed. The living area was so comfortable and we loved being able to see the water through the big windows. There was lots of storage space in the closets. We were close to the city if we wanted to go there but also close to the serene and tranquil beaches if we wanted to stay away from the crowds. We were so happy we brought our binoculars to be able to see the wildlife in the water and the air! It would have been helpful to have towel racks in the bathrooms for wet towels, but it didn’t affect how much we enjoyed ourselves. Definitely would recommend this location and will consider it next year if it’s available!

Shop tll you drop with a view

Girlfriends trip to shop for Christmas while enjoying a beach view. My only issue was the 3rd bedroom. It turned out to be a “bunk” room, not a bedroom. The house was still wonderful and I would go again.

mini trip

We stayed for 4 days. A couple things we could have notified the manager on however we didn't want anyone coming in while we were gone. The main bedroom shower didn't drain well. Needs drano for sure. Temperature of the house was great. Loved the deck and seeing pelicans, and a dolphin. We didn't eat out much so would have been nice to have a few more dishes so we didn't have to wash so frequently. The TV in the living room - we couldn't get to work even after rebooting the router a few times. The manager said they had had a power failure the week before we got there and she could send the repair man to look at it, but we passed on that. The other TV's in the bedrooms worked fine. A couple things that would have been helpful to have are beach towels as we had to use the regular ones in the bathroom when we went to the beach. Another suggestion - lawn chairs would have been great to take out and sit on the deck. Overall experience was good and we enjoyed the area and our time there. Thank you. Alicia and family.

We enjoyed our stay. Location was great! Visited Fort Morgan, the beaches, rode the ferry, & shopped all over. The house was right on the bay which was nice to be able to see all the wildlife.

Bay view, you can watch dolphins, fish, and crabs all day.
Beach down the road was nice. Very relaxed and secluded. Not crowded as the gulf shore beaches.

Family Wedding Weekend

We came down for a wedding and needed somewhere for our extended family of 7 to stay. This property was perfect! It was very clean and had cute decor. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the wildlife. The outdoor shower was great after our family went to the beach so keep sand from getting everywhere.
