This house was perfect for our large group! You couldn't ask for a better location. The house itself is better than pictured. Susie was great from before, during, and after our trip. The house was well stocked! Not like most houses, but down to every detail. We've stayed in so many places and this house by far exceeded all expectations! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Perfect location. Right on beach. Very nice home, we had 6 couples and all had their own room. Biggest deck I've ever been on off the back over looking the Gulf. Plus a deck on the second story. Plenty of parking. 4 cars can park under cover. Plus, the rest of the driveway cand fit a lot more cars.Not one single complaint. Enjoyed every minute of our stay. The owner was so nice to us.

Beautiful property and very clean upon checkin. Stocked with all the amenities one will need for a stay at the beach (towels, coffee, pots and pans, spices, bathroom amenities, cleaners, deck chairs, grill blackstone, and many more). The host is excellent- the best we’ve had and we use Arbnb and VRBO a lot! We will definitely be back here!

Everything was perfect for our family of 14. Plenty of room to be together or to find a quiet spot to just soak up the gorgeous views available plenty. House was spotless, kitchen well stocked, we all agreed BEST VACATION EVER!!! Susie is great to work with, very attentive to details. Teenagers loved the well stocked coffee/expresso bar. Hope to go back next year.

Pine Creek Mafia in Fort Morgan

Susie,We had a fantastic stay at Mar Vista. The house was clean and comfortable, from the bedding, to the kitchen and appliances. The coffee bar was an unexpected bonus for the entire family. There was nothing missing from our stay and everyone enjoyed the week. Every meal was consumed at the house until we did a group outing the last night to Lambert's Cafe to get some "thrown rolls." You made everything easy. 5 stars from the Pine Creek Mafia. We will be back!!

This property was exactly as described. It is a beautiful, clean home right on the beach. There was plenty of room for our three families with 4 people each. Everything in the home worked properly. The home's location is in Fort Morgan which is about a 20 minute drive from the nearest stores. There is a Dollar General located about 7 min away. We ordered delivery from Walmart and that worked perfectly. The hosts provided plenty of beach toys and beach towels. We loved the seclusion and had our own private beachfront the entire time. We would return to this home again.

We had such a wonderful stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. It was especially kid-friendly, which made traveling with our family so much easier. Our kids had an amazing time, and we made so many special memories together during our stay. The location was great, and we truly felt at home. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and would definitely recommend it to other families looking for a fun and stress-free getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Susie Barnes

Host profile image
I am so excited to host you in this beautiful beach front property. A little bit about me....I have been in real estate for over 15 years, however my passion is property management. This property is dear to my heart as I have stayed here many times, hosting private events with family and friends. I love living on the gulf coast and everything it has to offer. Please let me share that with you! I assure you I will do everything possible to make your stay one to remember. I look forward to seeing you soon!

Why they chose this property

Morgantown is a quite community with beautiful homes, community tennis courts, two community pools. You never have to fight for a place on the beach, it will fill like you are on your own private beach. Fort Morgan is truly a hidden treasure.

What makes this property unique

The long private driveway, beautiful beaches, ample private parking, The openness of the home and the ability to have your entire family in one place but yet still have privacy. I love that you can view/listen to the sound of ocean from almost every room in the home. You can bring your pets and they can also enjoy going to the beach.
