Great family time at Ft Morgan

We had a wonderful time in Ft Morgan beauitful and peaceful and you are a few miles away to be able to do whatever you want in town eat, shop and walk. The house was everything we needed beds were comfortable had enough room in kitchen to cook. The beach was great and we saw the sunset on the beach it was a great week.

Nice home and great view.

All in a great stay. Sadly it appeared previous renters hadn't respected the property or the renters after them (us), but owners were prompt in responding to issues. A nice home with a great view, and we loved being able to bring our dog on vacation with us!

We enjoyed having Yasmine and her family as our guests. There were a few issues that did arise during their stay and we resolved all that we could promptly. We do appreciate guests informing us of issues as they arise to give us the opportunity to resolve as quickly as we can. Cable always seems to be an issue (sporadically) in the Ft Morgan area so we are looking at other, more reliable options available to keep any interruption in these services from happening again. Fortunately we have Smart TV's so that guests can access their Hulu, Netflix and other apps on our TV's.

As advertised -- everything we needed and nice location.

In the past, we have occasionally been disappointed with the accuracy of descriptions. This trip was the exception. The property was "as advertised" - clean, beautifully decorated, and close to the beach. It had everything we needed to relax, and the hosts provided all the information we needed in advance. The chairs and beach gear were a plus. It was nice not having to pack everything to bring with us.

Family vacation

We had an amazing time staying at Sadee’s place! I loved how they had everything we needed pretty much there already. The view of the ocean was spectacular. It was a short walk to the ocean. Loved that we had our dogs there and they were welcome. My boxer boy tyson is paralyzed in his back legs so the elevator was amazing with his wheel chair! And he finally got to see the ocean for the first time. 💕. Just an amazing week with my family. Thank you for opening your home to allow us this much needed vacation.

Fun in the sun at Sadie's

Our family had a great week-long stay at Sadie's Place from May 24-31, 2014. Sadie's location has to be one of the best properties set back from the beach in Fort Morgan. There is a wide expanse of open lots which allows for an unobstructed view of the gulf from the nice decks on the front of the house. The house was exactly as described and as depicted. The four bedrooms and three baths made our stay very comfortable for our entire party which consisted of multiple generations and varying ages from 21-92. The house was clean, well maintained and well-stocked. We would love to stay at Sadie's Place again--sooner rather than later.

Fabulous home in a great spot!

Spacious home with a fabulous view of the gulf. We had perfect weather, but the upside is that if you did not, you always have the view! Best stocked beach gear in any stay that I have had. The only “wish” would be enclosed outdoor shower, but seriously great place and Fran was always available for our questions.

Hi Brian. Thanks for the great review! As a matter-of-fact, enclosing the shower is on our 'To Do' list and we are trying to get it done in the next few weeks. We try to think of everything so our guests have everything they need for a beach vacation, and so they don't have to bring it with them! We have a few more updates you will get to enjoy your next vacation with us. Hope to see your again soon!!

Great Stay

Easy experience. The property was a little walk but you are able to cut through the vacant area in front making it incredibly easy and the view was fantastic thanks to that lot. Kitchen was stocked great, plenty of space, comfy furniture. Wifi is a definitely on the slow side, but it’s a beach house and you should want to relax and not expect amazing speeds, just wanted to share for those thinking for WFB :) (work from beach). Thanks for the great stay!

Perfect for a family vacation! The house was wonderful with plenty of room. The 3 baths and two large balconies were a big plus! Beautifully decorated, nice furniture and large tv in all rooms. You could view the ocean from the balcony. The neighborhood was quite and peaceful, and everyone around us were very friendly. We walked dog every night and felt comfortable doing so.
