Cozy by the bay

This was a comfy clean place to spend a weekend getaway. It’s close enough to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach to take advantage of all the restaurants but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. The private pier was nice for catching a sunrise.

Labor Day Vacay

We enjoyed our last Summer vacation for the year. Place was a great location. First night of arrival we got to view dolphins swimming from the pier. I enjoyed my time enjoying the view from both the pier and front porch. We would highly recommend staying here.

Exactly what I needed!

This place was adorable! Perfect for me. Wish I would've had more down-time to enjoy the porch, the pier and the water, but spent my time scoping out the area for my daughter's Fall wedding, so missed out on daylight hours to enjoy the view. Will recommend this spot to family/friends heading down for the occasion!

Great location and value!

The property is just as described. The pier was great to relax on and do a little fishing. I only caught small bait fish, but I didn't put too much effort into it. The drive to the beach is short, and if you ride your bicycle it's less than a mile. It was clean, quiet and relaxing overall. I would stay again.

Fort Morgan pleasant stay

This property was exactly as listed. We were pleased with the location. There were sufficient places to eat and buy supplies near by. Upstairs rental could be slightly problematic if the tenants are rowdy as noise is easily transmitted downstairs. However the guests during our stay were not a problem. It should be noted that there was some booking confusion as another guest showed up which reportedly had reserved the upstairs but the previous tenants were still there. The second set of guests arrived Friday night and the previous tenants remained until Saturday. The Friday night guests were not pleased about this booking situation.
