Older property, but clean and dog-friendly. The gated porch was great for our dog, and it’s an easy walk to the dog-friendly beach. There’s no ocean view, but you can hear the ocean from the porch. We would have rated it higher, but there was a noticeable odor in the house. We purchased some air freshener, which helped.

Short walk to the beach. Nicely stocked with kitchen items, linens and towels. Love the quiet neighborhood and that there's no public beach access near the neighborhood so the beach was never crowded.

This beach house was just perfect for us! It was the ideal size for a couple, and we loved that it was dog friendly. The outdoor shower and hose was super convenient. Being so close to the beach and hearing the waves at all times from the deck really made the trip. Would recommend! Stay here for a cozy trip to Fort Morgan!

Location is great - less than a 1/4 mile walk to the beach. The beach is nice and wasn’t crowded even on the weekend. The house had a decent amount of privacy, unlike some other neighborhoods (like rookery for example). The outdoor shower was cool with lots of warm water. Kitchen had everything. Deck was great for watching the sky and listening to the waves. I wish the fold out couch was more comfortable, and the house smelled like mothballs. The smell didn’t bother me much after the first day. Overall I loved the house and the host made things easy.

We absolutely loved this rental! It was very clean and inviting. The outdoor shower was amazing, on top of the huge deck to watch the sunrises and sunsets. The kitchen was fully stocked which made cooking an easy process. The host was super nice and communicative. We even stayed an additional day because we loved it so much!
