Oct 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fall Break We loved the house that we stayed in. There were minor things from wear and tear on a house so close to the beach. Inside of house was lovely and perfect for a family group our size. Reed Rentals came immediately and fixed our issue with our TVs. Loved the privacy and beauty of Fort Morgan but wish there was at least an affordable grocery store there. Had to drive far for even a DG. Overall wonderful vacation and beautiful home. ##### Shauna H. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Sondra H., Fort Worth TX Sep 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Couples trip There were 3 couples and plenty of room Nice views for not being beach front. It was about half a block walk down to the beach access. But not bad walk Plenty of parking and chairs on front porch to watch and hear the ocean property was clean and everything worked in the house. Only complaint was the plastic mattress covers and hard mattress’s. But over all very good experience ##### Sondra H. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jackie M.
