Property and location was wonderful, the house itself was outdated with issues. The sinks wouldnt drain. Bath tub wouldnt shut off, smoke alarm did not stay on ceiling. Smelled like smoke. The cleaning people look like they just switched out towels and left. Sand and food on floor, someone sand toys outside still. Love the property but just wish it had some issues checked out before stay and little more cleaning before our time.

Great location. Unit needs updating!

We love staying at this location and have stayed in several different units and buildings. It of all the units we have stayed at on the Kiva Dunes property, this one appeared the oldest and had the most small inconveniences. Some examples that need to have attention: The cooking pans are all in horrible shape. They are unusable and rusted. We could not cook in those and had to make due with other cookware. The cabinets and drawers have tape that is peeling off and catch on clothing and other items. The water pressure in the kitchen is very low. Easier to get water from the sink in the bathroom. The shower faucet leaks horribly and the water leaking is HOT! I squealed loud enough for the family to hear while showering several times. And... the beds in the room with multiple beds were not comfortable. However, the main bed that my parents stayed on was great. Again the location is amazing and the pools, hot tub, parking, property manager, and laundry was all great. The unit needs updating and it will be back to great. Thanks for great memories. We will be back.

Disappointing and inadequately supplied condo

Initially owner prompt with reply. Upon arrival at 1215, I always rewash dishes, don’t trust others cleanliness. Only one coffee cup which was cracked and chipped on the rim, three plates, mind you this condo says will sleep 6, 3 forks, beds in first bedroom only had comforter on them, no sheets, we had to make up the beds. I contacted owner, Jeff said he had ordered dishes 2 weeks prior to our stay. The next day mid morning, Marla and another woman brought the order, came in and left it for us to unpack. Service for four on plate set, 2 service sets of utensils, new comforters. New pots and pans set, and glasses which all were broken but 4 glasses. I was unable to cook the first night and the next morning for my family. I asked for compensation for the inconvenience and the fact we would had to drive back into town 12 plus miles, for dinner and breakfast, we were told we could stay an extra day. Who can just on a whim stay and extra day? Not people who work. I emailed and explained we all had to be back at work and pictures to the owner so he could see the condition of the condo. I’m still waiting on legitimate compensation. Won’t hold my breath. As far as the beach, it was lovely and we enjoyed it tremendously. Found lots of seashells. Got to watch dolphins daily. Will return to the beach again, just not in this condo.

Oven door is about to fall off , rust on the outside of the fridge, wine opener broken , no baking pans . Just not equipped properly.. i had been communicating by email with owner but when i asked about the tv no response. Will not stay there again.

We loved that the place was so close to the beach. Location was great. The beds were nice slept good. The only things that need changed is the fridge and the dining set. Better seats on the deck would be a plus. But other then that we had a great time and would book again.

Beach Family Vacation

The resort/ property was exactly as listed. The condo was spacious enough for our family of four. The bathrooms & kitchen were well equipped. The beds were comfortable. Family room had ample seating. Balcony allowed a beach view. Easy access to beach that wasn’t overcrowded & away from tourists areas. The owner was quick to reply to any questions. Thank you for our stay and sharing your piece of paradise.

Overall great stay!

This was our second time to stay at this unit! We love the two large pools and very beautiful courtyard. The condo itself is just as pictured and described. The only issues we had was the mater bedroom tv didn’t work but we didn’t have much time to watch tv anyways and there wasn’t any outdoor furniture on the balcony. The walk to the beach is not bad at all! Would definitely recommend for a small family and we would definitely stay again if we come back to the area! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful condo with us!

Affordable, close to beach

There was a lot of rust and dust but it was an affordable beach front rental. Everything was in working order. Expect to pay parking fee at security entrance. Indoor pool card was available in kitchen. Pots and pans were limited and old. No pot holders and a basic coffee pot provided . The front door is definitively ajar and cracked down the inside of edge, and you could probably slide a card down and open the door to the room. We had to call the owner for Wi-Fi password. There was a few handwritten notes for checkout and one email with directions to rental but other than that there was not a ton of information as I’ve seen with other rentals in this area. There could be more information pertaining to the site amenities as we’ve stayed in other rentals here. I would not stay here again.

A fantastic week

We have never stayed at Fort Morgan but will definitely come back. It's beautiful and quiet compared to other beaches. The Plantations is a great resort with multiple pools, hot tubs, an on-site restaurant/bar and nowhere ever seemed crowded or loud. Beaches were clean and beautiful. The condo itself has everything you need and was nice. The condo owner was very accommodating when we needed to change the date of our stay and also very patient when I called him once we arrived with a question. Some minor things are a little dated as said in some other reviews, but nothing major. A great stay, thank you!

Nice location but very outdated

Overall, the location was great for our family. The balcony had a nice view, but most of the chairs were broken so we couldn’t all enjoy it. As soon as we walked in the condo, the smell was overpowering. It had a very musty smell mixed with stale smoke. We tried to get rid of the smell, but it was impossible. The pots, pans, and dishes were dirty. We washed everything before we used them, but some were so old/rusted/scratched I didn’t feel comfortable using them. The comforters were very old and looked dirty, one even had a hole in the side where the stuffing was coming out. I understand the condo’s price is very reasonable for the location, but clearly we found out why.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff or Olga McMullen

Host profile image
We live in Athens, Alabama, near Huntsville, where I work on Redstone Arsenal. We have lived in the Huntsville, Alabama area for about 3 years. We lived for many years in Germany before that and are both multi-lingual. As of 18 January 2015, we are back in Germany, living in Wiesbaden.

Why they chose this property

My father is from the Gulf Coast of Alabama and I have been vacationing in Gulf Shores my whole life since I was a tyke the early 60s. I have been to beaches all over the world and these are among the nicest I know of anywhere. Fort Morgan is a special place and the Gulf Shores Plantation Resort offered us everything we wanted right there in one place, where we wanted it, Fort Morgan. The beaches at the resort are fabulous- white sand, beautiful water, herons that walk right by you, pelicans, and wide open pristine beaches.

What makes this property unique

Peace and quiet, pleasant nature, relaxation in a beautiful setting but near the action if you want it.
