Great family vacation

6 adults and 3 children 10 and under. Private pool which the grandkids loved! Only issue was there was no parking at the beach for vehicles-just golf carts. Plenty of space for all!

Nice House, Great Vacation

The house was very clean, beds and bedding were comfortable. Kitchen was nicely stocked with cookware and utensils. The location was perfect. We loved the quiet neighborhood and private beach. We all had a blast in the pool. You should definitely rent the golf cart. While it is technically within walking distance, the golf cart is very handy when hot, sweaty and tired after a day at the beach lugging all your bags. We would stay here again!

Wow!

I will start by saying the communication with Elisa was incredible. What a great host! The house is beautiful and spacious. The pool was just the right size and refreshing. We were very close to the ocean. You can see the ocean from the upper balcony which we spent time having coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening. My family and I plan on returning. Also, my oldest grandson enjoyed the crows nest. It was a private getaway for him. Thank you Elisa for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Twice as nice...

Second time we have stayed at this property, and it was just as nice as we remembered. Great communication with the host. The only issue we had was with the coffee maker, and it was fixed immediately. We will be back, and would highly recommend. We have a family of 5, and 2 dogs, and we had more than enough room. Thanks for another great family vacation in Fort Morgan!

Pretty House

If you’re going to be rained in by a hurricane for most of your vacation, this house is a good one to stay in. All kidding aside, the house was clean and beautiful. The pool was nice and I didn’t find the walk to the beach to be too daunting. Would stay there again.

Great location and beautiful property! Plenty of room and well appointed. Great communication with owner Elisa and local property manager Lisa who was readily available for anything. The pool was a perfect perk and of course we love all the little local spots Fort Morgan has to offer! Thanks for a great Labor Day week!

This is a great house with everything we needed for a quick weekend getaway from New Orleans. Really close to the beach and two big balconies to relax on after a day at the beach. We had a wonderful couple days here.

Super Location!

Best neighborhood to stay in Ft Morgan!!! House is within walking distance to beacb access, however a cart rental makes it more bearable!! We had a few minor hiccups upon arrival, but quick communication with owner/property manager corrected those.

Great vacation home

Big Blue Sea was a wonderful vacation home. We enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful; kitchen well equipped for cooking meals; bedrooms and beds were comfortable; everything was clean; and the family areas of the home provided spaces for connecting with one another (pool area was great & living room had games). The host was quick to communicate and helpful! Overall, a nice home for a beach getaway!

July Fourth Family Vacation

Had a great holiday week with the family! The house was spacious and the pool for the kiddos was a huge plus! The recommendation for the golf cart was greatly appreciated, it made traveling back and forth to and from the beach a breeze since I always tend it overpack! Will definitely be back! ❤️

Great House!

Gorgeous house that was well stocked. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer. For guests- I would recommend a beach cart/wagon for hauling stuff to the beach or a golf cart for those with mobility issues.

Family Vacay with adult “children”

Our family of 5 enjoyed being so close to the beach with a pool day option. There was plenty of room for us all and the kitchen was well equipped for family meals. Neighborhood was great! Host and property manager were very responsive. Recommend renting a golf cart to get to and from the beach. We had a great week!
