Vacation Fun

The house was very nice and we really enjoyed our stay. Having the pool so close was such an added bonus. The beach has easy access and wasn’t crowded. Would certainly stay here again.

Great location having beach access without the crowd. Loved having swimming pool available whenever we needed it. Having the multiple decks around the house made for an enjoyable stay all day long. Contact with host was easy and quick. Would return to this location if back in the area.

Beach Bliss

Gorgeous and peaceful location. We loved the ocean/ beach and how easy it was to walk to. It was very relaxing and quiet with few people. The pool was an added bonus especially for our kiddo. Seriously can’t wait to take another vacation here.

Back to the Beach

The host was so responsive. The house was a very easy walk to the beach. The property was very clean. I would definitely stay again. Access to the pool is good for those evenings that you just want to swim as well as an invitation to meet neighbors. The wrap around porch is amazing so that you sit on one side in the morning and the other side in the evenings.

Beautiful beach!

Everything was great. One small issue with the kitchen sink fixed quickly. The house was done beautifully. Loved the privacy of the beach. Would suggest bunk beds for teen siblings who don’t want to sleep together if beds are ever needing replaced

Hidden Gem!

This was a wonderful house, in the wonderful “hidden gem” area of Fort Morgan. The drive is not long at all from Gulf Shores, and the trade off is a very peaceful, less people and less crowded experience on and around the beach, restaurants and area in general. The house is beautiful and updated and has any amenity you could want, and is just steps away from a very uncrowded beach for your family to enjoy. The owner is super nice and very responsive to messages. I have zero complaints about this great find! You will not regret staying here.

Good location, needs some work

The home was located very close to the ocean which was great. Accommodations were more basic than expected and the house could use some work. The pool is also close but not heated and not clean. The grill was completely rusted and spindles up the stairs were loose/broken. We understand the salt water is rough on surfaces like this but if we had young kids, I would be very nervous about the stairs. The home was not overly clean. Shower curtains stained/dingey and shower walls did not appear clean. Only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom and one roll of paper towels which used up quick.

The location and ease to get to the beach is a 10!I wish I could have given the overall stay a higher star level. With that said, one does expect to have basic needs met with proper air conditioning. I was very concerned when we first arrived because it was so hot in the house. The master bedroom had a 2nd air conditioning unit plumbed through the window (not a stationary window unit). The 1st floor did cool off so much that it was difficult to sit around the table since all the air vents are directly over the dinner table and not spread out evenly throughout the 1st floor. The upstairs felt like a converted attic without insulation. The air conditioner always ran and never cycled. In the day the tempature would run 82-86 degrees and at night it would get down to 74 degrees. The closets upstairs in both rooms are not usable. The closets were not insulated, so they were extremly hot and smelled like mildew that any close storage would smell like mdew. The upstairs out door furniture looked like it has never been clean. For those who like to sit around the pool, I would caution using it. Our friend who stayed has a pool cleaning business in Florida. He said it needed phosphate and it was really low on salt. He told us not to get in it due to the bacteria killing chemicals being really low. The house was a disappointment. I would caution renting this house. There was more issues, but I stuck to the basic necessities one expects to have with a vacation rental.

Sisters

The house was absolutely perfect for our two families with kids between 4-7 years old. The pool is right next to the house and the walk to the beach is very short compared to others places we’ve stayed in fort Morgan! It’s very convenient to a couple places to eat and ice cream. 10/10 in our book! Will definitely be back!

Such a peaceful beach home

This house was perfect! All the beds were extremely comfortable nice pillows. The teens stayed upstairs bedrooms and had the balconies up there while us adults and little one stayed downstairs bedroom had an extra air conditioning unit in that room that kept it sooooo cool which I loved. It’s steps away from the actual beach and the pool was literally right below!!! Perfect place and was so tidy and clean when we got there. I would rent again

About the host

Hosted by Karen Gable

Host profile image
Traveling is a way of life that our parents instilled in us. Nothing is better than spending time with the ones you love. We found this house and decided to help others enjoy quiet, and peaceful time with family and friends. Hope you enjoy this place as much as we have.

Why they chose this property

We love the location. 40 yards away from the beautiful beach. This house sits next door to two other properties that we own. We now have a pool that is built between "Sisters" and "Sugar Shack". The pool is for all 3 properties in this cul-de-sac to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

We currently have 2 other houses on this cul-de-sac and enjoy the benefits of having 3 houses to rent out for large events. VRBO 12372 and VRBO 738238
