It was wonderful!! We loved all the outdoor seating!! Very clean and comfortable. Only downside was the chairs at the kitchen table. They were too small for several of us. With that being said… we were very comfortable on the couch, beds and outdoor furniture!!! The kitchen had everything we needed…. A couple extra pods for dishwasher would have been nice. Overall, excellent vacation experience!!

Perfect for family getaway

The house was perfect for our family getaway! Having coffee on the front porch with a direct view of the ocean was a perfect way to start the day. We had 5 adults and 6 kids and it never felt too crowded. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

Fort Morgan Beach Trip

Lovely house! Been staying in Fort Morgan for years now and it's always great. Neighbors in the community were so kind and the beach is always so quiet. Especially this time of year with all the spring breakers.

The house was beautiful and looked just like the pictures, very clean and it was nice having the golf cart to drive the short little trip to the beach. Was not disappointed!

Oh, how we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house! We felt right at home and the kitchen had everything we needed. The only thing I would suggest is a cocktail shaker. . We couldn't find one at any of the stores. The beds were super comfy and everything was so clean! Mornings were perfect on the patio with a nice breeze and a cup of coffee as we watched the breathtaking sunrise. This was our first trip to the area and we picked it because of the dog-friendly beach! Our sweet Golden Retriever Cyder had the time of her life on the beach. And there are so many restaurants and shops that are dog friendly. We enjoyed visiting the Wharf and taking a trip to visit the historic Fort Morgan! Wow! What an experience! We look forward to coming back next year!
Cyder living her best life!

This is a great property and the location fit our needs as a family. 2 things to note however: it is not beachfront and you get the beach view through 2other houses. The public beach access is about a mile away but the property comes with a golf cart so that was no problem. The 2nd note is that pipes are being replaced under the roads around the community which is also not a big problem but we did not have water when we arrived. I would just liked to have known that ahead of time so we could have prepared for it. Otherwise, great house and good location.

Hi Ellen, thanks for your feedback. We apologize about the pipes being replaced, as we had no control over that. Thank you for being understanding during the construction. We hope to host you again soon!

The beach access is limited to a small entrance about 1/2 miles from the property. But the house has a golf cart to use during your stay. This made the trip to the beach much easier. The views of the water are great from the porch. The house is nice and plenty of room for a group to enjoy themselves. We had our dog with us and the house and property had plenty of room to let her move about with little issue.
