Had a great stay!!

This was a cute beach house that was very clean. Holly was wonderful. We had a few issues when we arrived and she was very responsive! We brought our Boston terrier and the yard was great for her just watch out for the spurs that get in their paws! We were 4 adults and two kids. The kitchen had everything you needed for cooking as far as pans but bring extra paper towels, toilet paper, salt and pepper! The pool was very nice but would definitely recommend heating in the fall. The pool room was well stocked with several different floats. The golf cart is a must! If you are on the fence on that, just go for it, you will not regret it! It’s not a terrible walk to the beach but with stuff and kids it will be less stressful!! Tacky Jacks is extremely close and a fun place to eat, we enjoyed it! Also, I recommend doing a ferry ride to Dauphin Island and eating at Pirates Cove. The aquarium there is fun too! The ferry is a neat experience!

Fantastic Host

Overall, our stay was good. However, the pictures were somewhat misleading. It appears there is a direct path to the beach from the back of the house, but this isn't the case. You actually have to walk along the side of a busy road to the next street to reach the beach. With a one-year-old baby in tow, this information would have been very helpful beforehand. Renting the golf cart was a good decision, but it was still nerve-wracking with cars speeding by at 50+ mph. There were also a few minor issues likely overlooked by the housekeepers: no extra trash bags, no dishwashing detergent, and not enough toilet paper to last a full day. On a positive note, the host was fantastic. Communication was excellent, and she was always responsive and helpful. She was also more than happy to let us check in early when we informed her we arrived sooner than planned. Despite these minor inconveniences, it was a good stay, and we would stay again.

Peaceful Get-a-way

This home was just as described in the listing. The home was very clean. We enjoyed the location. Easy walk to beach. I would recommend the golf cart though. The drive way is on the main road and although safe to walk, the golf cart would have been a nice option. It was off season, so we drove our car over to the beach. Views to the beach and bay are obstructed but you can see the water on both sides. The pool was very clean and a peaceful place to hang out. It was too cold while we were there to enjoy swimming. As with any beach property, you have to watch your pets paws for those spurs. However this property had a nice yard that we could walk our dogs and didn’t have any issues. It’s just something to always be aware of when at the beach. The neighbors were spaced far enough apart that it felt much more private than other homes. Having a decent size yard for the dogs as well as being far enough back off the street also made this property a favorite. Ps. I was so skeptical when I saw this home had all 5 stars when I booked, but was pleased that it was accurate.

Wonderful Stay!

Loved this beach house! It had nice views. We enjoyed the decks and the pool. As a con, you do have to go on the main road for a little to get to the beach as other reviewers mention.

My family had a great time in Alabama. The house was beautiful and very well equipped. Spent a lot of time at the beach, the fort or just exploring the area. Will definitively make this a yearly retreat for us!!

Wonderful stay at Fort Morgan. The house was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the views of the bay and Gulf. It was a short walk to the beach and very quiet and relaxing. We would definitely book this home again.

Great Beach House

We loved the location! A short walk to the beach, easy drive into Gulf Shores (if you wanted) but we liked the "non-touristy" area that this house was in. Less than 2 miles to put in kayaks on the Bay side, Kiva Dunes golf course was only 2 miles away - although I thought Peninsula golf course was much better and that is only 6-7 miles. The property owners were great with communication, everything was as expected.

Wonderful Getaway

The house was absolutely adorable, your typical beach house. Kitchen fully stocked with everything you need. We loved the bed linens!! Thank you for a fabulous home-away-from-home. I loved the solitude of coming in January and having the beach to ourselves. We definitely want to plan a return trip. My grandkids visited and loved there was a sandy area with shells under the house to play in. Thanks again for a great vacation.

Beautiful Home!

My family stayed for a week and the house was beautiful! We had a great time! The King size bed was so comfy! My daughter and niece loved the bunk room. We did have a little problem with ants in the kitchen but Holly did what she could to fix it as soon as possible! Owners are extremely nice and easy to work with. Will recommend this home to friends!
