We couldn’t have been happier with our condo. We were traveling with 4 children ages 1-5 and it was perfect. The rocking chairs were great for getting our youngest to go to sleep. Being on the ground level and having everything right outside our door was just what we needed since we were constantly back and forth for naps. We are already trying to plan our next trip and will definitely be staying here again!

Disliked: Location
The condo is very clean and comfortable. Being on the ground floor with a patio to the pool and boardwalk is super convenient. The kitchen is well stocked with pots,pans, and utensils. Linens were clean, and adequate pillows. We were there for spring break, and the weather was less than desirable so having the indoor pool was great. The area is very kid friendly, and family oriented, however, if you plan on doing anything more than the pool and beach, it is pretty far out from civilization. Believe them when they tell you there is only a dollar store unless you go 20-30 minutes back to town. From pictures I was definitely expecting something different when in reality the building is old, the pool situation isn’t anything fabulous, and the hot tub room has to be a health hazard with the overbearing chlorine and no ventilation.•The WiFi is terrible, and we could only watch tv in the living room. The bedroom tv’s didn’t work due to the WiFi issue. You can’t connect multiple devices. We had zero cell service in the condo.•Paying 40 a vehicle for parking is absurd. I’m still unsure why you’re paying resort fee parking here. The laundry situation is less than desirable. Paying for washing and drying in basically a laundry mat wasn’t my favorite after paying 40 to park? Beach towels bathroom towels/linens accumulate quickly so let’s lug laundry to a laundry mat.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 April 2026
Thank you for staying with us, Justin! Please allow us to clarify a few important items. The unit you stayed in has a washer and dryer that is fully operational in the condo; therefore, we are confused by your concern regarding the need for a public laundry facility and the cost of that. The picture of the washer and dryer inside the condo is shown on the website. When reviewing your other concerns, it is clear if you had taken a moment to reach out to us by phone or email you would have had a much more enjoyable experience during your time at the beach. Your review is the only communication we have received from you regarding the concerns you expressed. Please be aware that C-Spire provides quality high speed Internet and Cable TV service at the resort. Streaming is also available and supported by the Internet. Great places to eat onsite at the resort are Sassy Bass and a coffee and ice cream shop and next door are Kiva Dunes and the Beach Club that both offer great meals and for fine dining Jesse’s on the Bay is about 10 minutes from the condo. At no extra cost the resort offers 4 outdoor pools, 1 indoor pool, 2 outdoor hot tubs and 1 indoor hot tube that are all monitored by the City of Gulf Shores Health Department to make sure guests are safe. It is true that there is a Dollar General about 10 minutes from the resort. If you wish to go to souvenir shops, Publix, Walmart, etc. it is about 30 minutes from the condo.
We enjoyed our stay! It was a close walk to the beach and had a nice pool right outside the condo. Even on a holiday weekend, it wasn’t too crowded on the beach and had a calm, family vibe. The condo was very clean, and we loved that Sassy Bass was at the end of our building! We’d definitely stay again.
Lovely property; perfect for our family, which included a 2yo and 9mo. The children’s pool right outside the condo was a huge hit! There were also chairs which rock—such a help with the baby. Everything we needed was right there and we can’t wait to return!

We had another wonderful vacation. We look forward to this location every year. Jackie Battles has always been very helpful and our rental was again perfect. The only negative is that we leave too soon. I hope one day to spend 2 weeks. Driving from Ohio it just seems like we arrive, get situated, and it is time to leave. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.
Maybe it was the week scheduled but our stay was excellent. The property gave us a feeling of being at a remote resort but yet we were close enough to do and see all we wanted. Everyone really enjoyed the property. We all had privacy. Highly recommended!
The unit was great ! Large and spacious plenty of room for all of our family to enjoy meals together . Ground floor unit made it so easy to go to beach and pool !
The condo was overall very nice. We enjoyed our stay. Can’t really complain about the room. The pools on the property could be cleaned a little better. They did not want to give us our third parking pass but the owner got it settled very quickly.
Enjoyed our time here with the ground floor location this made it easy for us to access the beach, pools, tennis courts etc. not too crowded during our stay. Loved the fact that the Sassy Bass veil was onsite. Also just a short drive to Dollar General which had e writhing we needed - food, pool floats etc. my boys had a blast playing pickleball right outside our door!

beach location great from room, no hot water in master bedroom. maybe next time be on upper floor for balcony view.
Fort Morgan is my favorite…..The condo was clean and smelled nice when we checked in. Check-in was easy so we could head right to the beach! This is the first time we were on ground level and it was so nice to skip the elevator!Sassy Bass is yummy and it’s right there! We had drinks and dinner the first night. It was perfect! The little coffee shop is adorable and the food is delicious. The kids did a little bible study there a couple of mornings. It’s called “Selah”.The Condo is furnished to the max, and the layout is perfect! The shower was nice and the beds were comfortable. I would stay here again. We loved it! It’s like having a house on the beach for a reasonable price. We also talked the the grounds keeper “Tom” each morning. It’s such a pleasant, relaxing place. I don’t think I can go anywhere else!
The Location was perfect... Close to pools, tennis court and a very short walk to the beach. I wish there were more starter supplies provided... We arrived late at night and didn't even have enough to take showers. Overall the location made up for it.
Secure, lots of family activities, family friendly. Cleaning could be much better. Hair on bedsheets, sandy floors, floors not clean around commodes.
Otherwise, love the area. 4th time there
This was a family trip for the Thanksgiving Holiday. We initially thought we would have small kids and the indoor pool would've been great if we had. The complex is very family oriented and super quiet. It was about 20 minutes to get back to Gulf Shores, where most restaurants and shopping is located. I liked being away from all the hustle and bustle and enjoyed our stay. This complex is not pet friendly.
This is the second time staying at this property. Overall the condo is excellent! Our only issue was with one of the secondary bedrooms (the one with 2 beds). The bed frames were not very sturdy. It felt like the frames would fall apart every time you turned.

Why they chose this property
The resort is located directly on the beach and offers more amenities than most resorts! These amenities are for your enjoyment without an extra charge. There is something about time at the beach which leaves us feeling fresh and renewed. Book online to reserve your beach vacation.
