About this property

Clean Slate is a beautiful 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom single family home directly on the Gulf of Mexico. The beach is at your back door with the water just steps away. Our home offers a break from overcrowded beaches, free from the congestion associated with condominiums.

The house is constantly updated, a feature our regulars love! Recently we replaced the windows in the suites, replaced the roof, replaced the 2 decks and porch, added new outdoor furniture, painted the exterior and parts of the interior, added new flooring and al new carpet in the bedrooms, added new furniture and more...

Clean Slate features tastefully appointed furnishings provide the comfortable environment for a vacation or retreat. When Clean Slate is not rented, we (the owners) occupy the home. This assures the best care and maintenance (and it shows). The home is very clean.

There are two master suites with two additional bedrooms. The home sleeps twelve people comfortably, all in beds (no convertibles or pullouts). The main living area is tiled, with area rugs. Each spacious bedroom is carpeted, has a private bath, ceiling fan, television, and more.

Another Great Trip!!

Dan and Helen have done it again. This was our second trip to stay in this house and we weren't disappointed. Dan and Helen are the best hosts. Can't say enough good things about them. They have a great house right on the beach with EVERYTHING you need to have a great stay. We love staying at this house and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beach house with all the amenities. Thank you to Dan and Helen for a wonderful place to stay and we will be back as soon as we can. We started planning our next stay before we left. Book this house you won't be disappointed. I would give them 10 stars if I could..

Mardi Gras Getaway

Dan and Helen are one of the best owners to work with. This is the 2nd time staying at their house. Clean Slate is as clean and pictured as in the past. It’s obvious they take pride in their beach house. Communication is quick, and they check on you throughout the stay, to make sure everything is good. Great stay!

Great Stay in Fort Morgan

We loved our time at clean slate. The house looks exactly like the pictures. We had plenty of space to spread out and the porch was lovely. We loved all the beach toys and chairs as well as the tent that was provided. We also enjoyed that this part of the beach is all houses, so it didn’t get crowded like some other areas of the gulf. Would recommend staying here!

About the host

Hosted by Dan and Helen

In the old days of nautical navigation, a slate tablet was kept near the helm on which the watch keeper would record speeds, distances, headings and tacks during his stay at the watch. At the change of watch, the slate tablet would be wiped clean. The new watch would always start with a clean slate.

In a similar way today, we refer to a new beginning or a second chance as starting with a 'clean slate'. Our family has found that we are able to come here, forget about the things that worry us, review our plans for the future and get a fresh start upon leaving. We hope you also can come visit and leave with a clean slate!

Why they chose this property

Whether you want a very active vacation or just want to lounge on the beach, Clean Slate and the surrounding area can accommodate your desires.
If it is quiet-time you seek, Fort Morgan is the beach for you. Off-the-beaten path, Fort Morgan's allure is undeniable. Single family homes nestled among the dunes translate into 'no-crowding' on the beautiful white-sand beaches. Nature preserves afford safe haven for wildlife and a birders' paradise. For those in a more active mood, championship golf courses await. A full service marina with fishing charters is just down the road. Great restaurants invite you to sample the local culinary treasures.

The land of Fort Morgan is so pristine, you can imagine being the first to discover it. Scrub oaks hide colorful chameleons and nesting robins. Nesting American Bald Eagles and Ospreys plunge from the heights to secure meals for their hatch-lings. Pelicans drift serenely overhead, then suddenly plunge into the water. Pods of dolphins play in the water. The stars crowd the night sky in a spectacular display - you can actually see the Milky Way. To walk along the shores of Fort Morgan is to discover a place where time has seemingly distanced itself from the business of life. Perhaps it is the shape of the land, a long peninsula, which makes this place unique. Or perhaps something magical drifted in on the tropical breeze and simply never left.
