We enjoyed our stay! Having the dock right out the back was amazing! The house was very comfortable and the air conditioning worked very well considering the heat wave we experienced. Location was convenient, with short 5-10 minute drive to the beach.

The housekeeping staff was amazing to work with. We had an issue with my son getting sick on some linens, and they were very helpful. The property management company communicated quickly via vrbo messages. Other than that, we would not stay here again. The property is in dire need of maintenance and updates. It is not set up for a family or to make the most of the outdoor space. The main bathroom door doesn’t stay open, and the main floor bedroom door won’t close. The shower ceiling was falling off into the bath tub. There was a dead rat near the laundry room that had obviously been there a while. No dock lights, steps, or ladder to enjoy the lagoon. Overall not great.

We loved this house!! Our family of four (two young-ish) kids and our dog visited for 5 days and it was a perfect fit for us. The space was cozy, clean and everything functioned as it should. The beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked, and we loved having the ceiling fans everywhere! We enjoyed spending time on the dock searching the waters for jellyfish, hermit crabs and fish. We come to Fort Morgan often but have never stayed on the bay side before. This was a nice change of pace, different views and Bon Secour entry points were a close enough drive that we didn’t miss a thing. Thank you for opening your home to us! It was a treat!

This is a great location right on the bay. I would recommend overall. We caught a couple redfish and enjoyed the view from the deck. We enjoyed meals on the large dining table. You have everything you need here for an enjoyable stay. While there are a few things (icemaker, higher quality sheets, furniture repairs) that would spruce the place up, this is a good value for your dollar and a really enjoyable spot. Jessi's on the Bay is nearby and a delicious dinner spot (for a higher end night out)! The walk to the lovely, nearby beach isn't super quick, but getting someone to drop you off with stuff and then parking back at the house (and the one doing the drop off walking without hauling stuff) works great.

Our week here was very relaxing! Being steps away from the bay/water was wonderful & being able to fish from the dock was fantastic. We loved seeing dolphins playing every day & the herons that frequent the area. Being able to watch the sunrises & sunsets from the property was amazing. Being able to sit on the deck or downstairs patio & enjoy the view all day is our favorite thing about the property. (Our only disappointment was the mold that we saw on all of the A/C vents.)
