We enjoyed the uncrowded beach and spent so much time on the deck. It was so nice to have both shade and sun. It’s a perfect location.

Perfect House for Vacation

Couldn’t have asked for a better house for my family on our vacation. Right on the beach and has everything you could need. Plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas and sand toys! We are so thankful to have found this home and can’t wait to return!

Beautiful place

Was a wonderful place to stay. House was exactly as pictured. Walked right on to beach. Houses next to us were set back. There is no public access from Gulf Winds so it made for an uncrowded beach. Awesome!

Relaxing stay

This was such a relaxing stay. With the house right on the beach I didn’t have to worry if I forgot something. It was a quick walk back. The house was just as described and very clean. I didn’t worry about a thing. Will be back!

Best experience in Fort Morgan

This is by far the best home we stayed at in the last 5 years of vacationing in Fort Morgan. The house is superb from the cleanliness of the home, the accommodations available for couples and families, location, etc. The list goes on and on. The host takes great pride in providing a great experience for their guests and has an attention for detail (something I truly value). Communication was top notch and felt if there was any issue (not that there was anything significant) we could easily reach out if we needed anything. I can't say enough about this place and how wonderful our experience was. We will definitely be back with our family of 5!

The house was clean and well stocked with everything you would need. The views from the back deck were amazing and the house is only steps away from the beach which made for a perfect beach vacation for our family!

Perfect beach house!

We loved our stay at Surf’s Up! So close to the beach! Loved sitting on the deck watching sunrises and sunsets! Beautiful, fully furnished kitchen. All rooms were updated and very comfortable. Gail and Jack are gracious hosts! Excellent dinner at Jesse’s on the Bay (pricey but worth it). Very close to the Ferry. We enjoyed a ferry ride to Dauphin Island. Highly recommend this beach house.

Absolutely perfect!

In the 40 years I've been visiting the gulf coast, this house is one of my all time favorites. Gail is a fantastic host and made sure we were taken care of the entire week. The house itself has a very comfortable layout, the deck is truly amazing (you will love walking out in the morning to an expansive view of the gulf), and it really felt like a home away from home... but literally on the beach. We didn't want to leave and hope to be back ASAP! Thanks Gail for an unforgettable week!

Simply Amazing

Everything about this property was great! The online listing is 100% spot on. Mrs. Gail has done an excellent job at stocking this house with everything you could possibly need. With 3 small kids it was amazing to be so close to the beach! We had a great trip.

Wonderful beachfront for a small family or group

Pros: Beach access is 10 steps away The beach is not crowded, sand is great The house is very comfortable and spacious. It's got everything you would need in kitchen, drip coffee pot (hidden in a cabinet) & a keurig, plenty of towels, washer/dryer, etc. Cons: Not much nearby - 10min+ drive to anything relevant No trash bags? Flies at the beach made it difficult to enjoy (October visit)

We loved our stay at surfs up and hope to stay again in the future! It was perfect for our family of four! We loved the beach access, having a washer and dryer, all the beach accessories and our kids loved the bunk beds!

Beautiful little bungalow on quiet beach

The house was very clean and fresh with nice decor. The beds were very comfortable and the house had everything we needed available. The view off the deck was beautiful and the house is positioned with the neighbors slightly behind which left for more privacy. The best part was the beach was just a few steps away. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Surf's Up! The house is very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with quality silverware, dishes, pots and pans and appliances (the best we've ever had in a vacation rental.) Communication with the owner throughout the process was always timely. Thank you, again, for your hospitality and sharing your beach home with us!! We will definitely stay here again!
