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.
Response from VrboOwner on 13 July 2023
Pamela, I regret that there were issues with the sheets and towels. I can assure you that they do get washed with bleach in between each guest. I will make housekeeping aware of the stained towels and washcloths. Sounds like it is time for some new ones. I hope you will come back and stay with us again.
