Alabama Dreaming is a dream

It’s was so comfortable for our group of 6 and a baby. Plenty of room for everyone to have time alone or gather around the table for game night. Spectacular views! The screened in/open deck is such a great feature. Kitchen was nicely stocked. Communication with host was flawless!We’re already looking at 2025 dates!Thanks for sharing your home with us!

The outside shower was awesome to clean the sand and salt water off after a day on the beach. I think this is the 2nd time renting from Coastal View and had a great experience both times.

End of Summer Trip 2024

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful beach front home with direct access. Great room under the house with everything you need for a great day at the beach! Only downside to this location is that public beach access is both sides of home and no one enforces breaking down of beach setups at night. Even the Fort Morgan rental company setup 3 tents directly in front of the home.

Will definitely stay here again next year. Suggestion for improvement would be to wash the bed spreads, especially if dogs had stayed before.

We are already talking about coming back next year!! ♥️

Clean and Cozy Home on he beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit was very nice and mostly clean and had a beautiful view of the beach. The screened in porch was perfect for avoiding bugs at dusk. The water is very close to the unit so its only a minute or two walk to get to the water. Kitchen had plenty of utensils for cooking, although many things were dirty and required a good wash before using them. Beds and couch were comfortable as well. The only downsides were that this unit is right next to the beach access for others further inland, so we were having to compete for space in front of the house. Food options nearby are scarce and requires a 20+ minute drive into town.

Perfect family get-away!

The house was perfect for our family with three children under age 6. It was very clean, organized and beautifully decorated with a beach theme. We loved the layout of the house, the screened in back porch and the fire place in the living room! It was so convenient to walk right out front and you were already on the beach. The house was very well stocked with anything you could need, things were labled and the storage room was full of beach supplies, toys, chairs. We enjoyed our stay so much and would love to stay there again! It was our first trip to the Fort Morgan area and it may be our new favorite place on the gulf coast!

A Dream Come True!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Coastal View Vacations made the rental process, payments and communication an excellent experience. The local property manager, Dee Dee, was incredibly helpful, friendly, and prompt in answering any questions we had. Having a local property manager who lives in the community where our rental was located made the entire process so much easier. The rental house had everything you needed. It was organized, clean and very cozy but had plenty of room for our family of 6 to spread out. We cannot recommend Coastal View Vacations enough. What a great experience! We will definitely use them again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was absolutely perfect for our stay. The bedroom configuration was perfect for two couples and two adult extended family members. The house was spotless clean, the kitchen was the best stocked kitchen we've stayed at in a long time. It has every detail for meal prep, serving, and cleaning up. Steps from the beach, the location could not have been any better. Easy to find when arriving, check in was flawless, and the house was perfect for relaxing, reading on the huge couch, or watching TV.

Great Location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location, right on the beach with fantastic views. Home needs a little TLC. Overall it was clean and had most of the supplies you needed, but everything was verrrry worn out. Pots and pans super old. Furniture was worn out. Although they didn’t advertise as providing one, there was a pack and play that was moldy and not suitable for a child. However the location is fantastic, the deck area is incredible, and the management was super professional, attentive, and helpful.

Beach front property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, our trip was great. My family and I love the area, so we’ll definitely be back for our 6th trip soon. Quick rundown on what I liked about the place. - Beach front property is gorgeous weather it’s day or night. - Nice deck with a great screened porch for outside dinners.- Had plenty of beach items to use (toys, umbrellas, chairs, etc.). We did take our own, which we locked in the same beach storage with all the other items. - Outdoor shower - I’ll always rent a place with this feature. It’s great. - The master bedroom has a door that opens to the porch, so it’s great for late night wave sounds. - Kitchen seemed to have all we needed. - My kids loved the extra little small deck upstairs. - Very clean and the couch was roomy was late night Halloween movies.There is only one small con, which only bothered me a couple days. - The house is right next to a beach access for all the house behind you. During busy times of the year, I assume you can expect some close company on the beach. Just get out early to stake your place for the day... most people do not setup in front of the house.... We had a few folks pretty close for a few days. I’m normally accustomed to no access near the house, so it was a small change for me. If you’re a very social person or want kids around for your own little ones, the place will be great for you. If you want a little more privacy, the company that manages this home has others down the way. I stayed in one last year and loved it. Again, not a deal breaker. I’d still recommend the property.

Excellent rental and great property management!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was an amazing house that we had our family vacation on this year with both of our moms, uncle and kids. There were tons of seats and things to use in the downstairs storage and we also left a couple of umbrellas. The only thing I would suggest is maybe putting a sign up on that second Landing of the deck facing the beach designating that area as privately owned with the house rental. We would go down very early in the morning and set up all of our chairs to mark our spot otherwise people going down that walkway on the side would set up camp directly in front of the house. There was only one incident when a very large group of a family with a big tent went down and tried to set up just a couple of feet directly in front of our chairs and I went down and addressed it with him and they moved over although they work not very nice about it. I contacted the property management company prior to saying anything and they said they would be willing to go talk to them if we needed to. The property management company was always very responsive and wonderful. The afternoon of the last day we did have a new family we had not seen that parked in our driveway even though there were private property signs of and walked through our deck and use our walkway instead of the public one. We told them it was no big deal as we were leaving the next day but showed them where the public walkway was and they were very kind about it and appreciative. That wonderful deck and screened in porch area alone as well worth renting this property!

On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, I would give this property 1 star.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon arrival, the house temp. was warm. I attempted to lower the temp and was unsuccessful. Contacted the property mngr, suggested the temp. control box was locked, she disagreed only to find out the temp. was locked and is remotely controlled by the owner. The door opening onto deck did not lock from the outside, so we had to exit and enter from the front of house, which was an inconvenience. One of the two upstairs shower heads did not work. Linens, throw pillows, ottoman and furniture cushions were dirty, and stained. Pet friendly should not equal dirty especially when paying more than $3,200 for 4 nights. There is evidence of two leaks in the celling- over MBR bed and hallway. The ceiling over the MBR bed is still untouched, with peeling paint and a stain. Lastly, I left behind a pair of earrings. For $25.00 plus postage the earrings were returned to me in a manila envelope, wrapped in a paper towel and inside of a Ziplock bag. I did report our dissatisfaction with the condition of the house to the property mngr., on our last day. Of course I received the necessary, "if you would have told me, we could have made repairs", to which I replied, the house should have been in proper condition for the incoming renter and those issues should have been addressed without the renter having to report such blatant areas of need. Not to mention that during a 5 day stay, who wants service people in and out of a house that again, caters to renters. I would NEVER recommend this property to anyone. There is a very nice property next to this house, beautiful, clean, prepared, etc... our friends truly enjoyed the house, and we will look at it for next year. Huge disappointment to spend a family holiday in such an expensive property, presented as though the property was equal to the price, only to find out it wasn't.
