Great location to the beach!

We enjoyed this house as it was a great neighborhood and one block from a fabulous dog friendly beach. The neighborhood is quiet and very private. Restaurants were near and easy to get to.Highly recommend for a beach getaway!

Great place!!!!

We stayed for 4 weeks this year and last. Great location, a 2 minute walk to the beach. Close to some fun restaurants too. We would recommend to anyone thinking of staying in Ft. Morgan!! Also, Shonna is always so nice to work with. She is so friendly, helpful, and responsive.

Perfect Cabin!

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The location is perfect! We loved the large porch and being outside of all the hustle and bustle of the public beach for some relaxing time on the private beach. Exploring the old Spanish Fort is also a must do!

Best part about this house: Location!! Such a close walk to the beach. The neighborhood is quiet and cute! Private beach access is wonderful!Things I didn’t love: The smell…mothballs. Overpowering and almost unbearable. There is nothing “homey” about this house. It’s just a house. There are loose tiles on the kitchen floor. Some of the drawers in the kitchen you can’t even open bc the dryer is in the way. Most of the cabinets don’t close all the way. The outdoor shower needs new wood..honestly the deck needs some new wood too. There was no chair swing like in the pictures.All in all we had a great vacation but the house itself could use a little work.

Washer & Dryer

This objekt comletely corresponded to our expectation. Whole place was very clean; nice furnished and close to the beach.We only have one complaint. Washer and Dryer were listed as objekts of use; unfortunalty both were not functional which we discovered only when we used them.Which meant that we had to go to Laundrette after hours. These machines must not be functional for a long time.

Not what was expecting

Outdated, smelled like moth balls, very small. Dirty dishes in drawers. No table for outside patio. Or much shade at all. Shower leaked. Loose flooring in kitchen. Needs a lot of maintaining. Beds were very uncomfortable. Took all day to dry a load of clothes in dryer.

Loved the location! Short walk to the beach. My kids (10 & 5) brought their scooters and parked them in the golf cart parking at the public access parking when we went to the beach daily. They left them there the entire day and no one bothered them. LOVED the location. Plenty of privacy at the house and a cute, safe neighborhood to walk around! Shonna was AMAZING and very responsive the whole trip. The house was clean but HOLY MOTH BALLS- the moth ball smell is overwhelming, especially the first day. I opened the doors trying to air out the house because as my daughter said- “it stanked”.Overall, we had a great experience and hope to return!

Beach House

Great location! Easy check in process. It was a little to far to walk to the beach with a 4 year old and my husband with a back injury but we rented a golf cart that was delivered to us within an hour. That made it perfect.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay! The house was super clean, well apportioned and located really close to the beach with 2 public access points. We were able to bring our dogs since they allow pets. We had everything we needed for a great stay. I will DEFINITELY rent this place again!
