Perfect family spot or relaxing vacation

The house location was perfect for a peaceful vacation away from traffic, quick walk to the beach or enjoy the property with the view, fishing access or night crab hunting on the beach area located on the property. We had a unique expof being stuck in the sand near the beach access. The local police were amazing & kind. The area is excellent! Tacky Jack's 2 had amazing food & literally a 2 minute drive. Definitely a place to return to.

Sweet Little Beach House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Enjoyed our stay in this 3/b 2/b Fort Morgan beach home! Master bedroom was large, the 2 other bedrooms were small but ample for children or teens. Combined Living/kitchen/dining area was adequate for our party of 4. There were a couple things I would like to make aware of to whomever it may concern & that is that clean sheets & towels should be #1 priority. A large amount of human hair was found on one of the twin bed’s sheets upon turning bed down on the 1st night we arrived & various washcloths & towels were stained. These items should be bleached after each guests departure. Lovely beach house but this is not acceptable. Please fix this for we would love to visit “Sun Soaked” again very soon.

It’s not near as crowded as orange beach and just wonderful. We have 3 kids (11,9&5) and the walk to the beach was nothing for us from the house. Having the bay to look out was amazing and we throughly enjoyed our trip and our stay.

A few easy repairs would take this property from three to five

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There were several issues with cleanliness. The vent door was covered in thick dust and the wall beside the dishwasher was very dirty. We also saw several bugs. There was some sort of plumbing issue that caused a warning light to flash under the house and water to back up in the kitchen sink. We didn't get responses to our emails until we called. The floors in the entire house were not correctly installed. The shower rod in the master bathroom needs to be raised up and mounted, not just a tension rod. Extra hooks for towels I both bathrooms and bedrooms would've been convenient. We had someone come out and change some exterior lightbulbs and they left the old lightbulbs on the ground. Back porch light never did work. Moving the faucet closer to the stairs would've helped reduce tracking sand everywhere. Another option would be to place stepping Stones between the faucet and the stairs so you don't have to walk through sand after foot washing.
