8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
There were a lot of things that were very very good. Everything was very clean upon arrival. The outdoor seating even in July was awesome. The outdoor fan didn’t work but the breeze from the bay negates the need for the fan. Master bed was very comfortable, big closet with hangers and adequate drawer space for the 2 of us. Seating in the living area very good. Kitchen was well stocked but the frying pans need updating. Love the outdoor shower, hot water and water pressure were awesome; the boards in that shower need to be replaced asap; definitely a safety issue. Indoor shower needs a new shower head. Some of the outdoor step railings are very loose; another safety concern. All appliances worked well. House was nicely decorated. Weber grill was clean and in good shape, just didn’t get a chance to use it. Overall, a very enjoyable trip. We love the Fort Morgan area.

Our Own Little Bit of Heaven in Fort Morgan!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: “A Little Bit of Heaven” was absolutely lovely and truly the perfect beach house for our family of four! The charming two-bedroom, two-bath home gave us everything we needed for a relaxing family vacation in Fort Morgan. We spent long days enjoying the beach and loved being able to return to our own little bit of heaven for lunches outside on the porch, followed by relaxing dinners together in the evenings. The house was comfortable, welcoming, and just the right size for our family.It was also perfect for our six-year-old Scottish Terrier. The gated porch was a wonderful feature because he could safely wander around the porch and enjoy being outside with us without our having to worry about him. The furnishings were perfect for a beach house, and everything worked exactly as it should. The appliances were great, and, especially important during an Alabama summer, the HVAC kept the house wonderfully cool and comfortable!Our only minor criticism was that the house was somewhat limited in the basic supplies provided. There were only two rolls of toilet paper, one roll of paper towels, and no basic kitchen seasonings, so guests should plan to bring or purchase a few household essentials. Fortunately, there is a Dollar General only about ten minutes away, so picking up anything we needed was quick and easy.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and absolutely loved “A Little Bit of Heaven.” It was comfortable, charming, dog-friendly, and a perfect home base for our family beach vacation in Fort Morgan. We would happily stay here again!
Response from VrboOwner on 20 August 2026
We are so happy you enjoyed this property and were able to bring your fur baby! We do put in all arrival information what is included so there are no surprises at arrival, we definitely recommend bringing things you need from home or stopping by the Dollar General. We would absolutely love to host you again!

Enjoyable time and stay.

A very solid property. Great communication. Easy access to the beach. House could use a little love for minor repairs but otherwise very comfortable. Great layout for a family of four we loved it. I tend to judge a stay on if I’d come back again and I totally would here. Cheers!

Thank you for the review of A Little Bit Of Heaven! We love this cozy, bright home!

My husband, son and truly enjoyed our time at A Little Bit Of Heaven! Perfect size and location for us. There weather was great which made our stay even better. The only "complaint " would be cleanliness. The are rugs are very dirty as well as the covers on the couch, chair and dining chairs. We spent most of our time outdoors anyway.
