Sweet, cozy & beautiful views

Our little family stayed an awesome 4 nights! Tacky Jacks 2 was our dinner spot, public beach access at Morgan Town was easy & perfect, the .6 mile away DG was excellent for those last minute beach toys needed. My husband enjoyed the fishing on the pier & made beautiful memories with our little one. They had a fishing contest & she won. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise!

Beautiful sunsets

We loved that the proximity to beach access and kayak access were near enough to this home that we could do both easily. We loved watching the sunset from the bench that appears to be especially designed for that purpose. Would've loved to have a ladder to have paddleboarded right from there on the calm afternoons.

Cozy get away

Stayed at the property with just myself and partner. Host was amazing and prompt with responses. The property was clean and the views were beautiful. We will return to this property when we need a quiet place to unwind and be away from crowds and the hustle of work.

We have been coming back to this beach house for the past 5 years and absolutely love it. Great fishing and crabbing. Very ptivate. The pier is an extra bonus. Above all the owner is so easy to communicate with.

Great Getaway

Beautiful view and loved watching my son fish on the pier. We would definitely stay here again, but will bring some extra sleeping arrangements since mattress on couch is very thin. Overall, it was exactly what we needed and wish we could have stayed longer. Host was very helpful and responsive.

Relaxation by the Bay

This is such a sweet little cabin. We have stayed twice. Breakfasts on the deck are my favorite part; however, the addition of an indoor table was definitely welcome during a round of severe weather. The empty lot next to the cabin makes it feel secluded. It is also a great spot to watch birds and dolphins.

Wonderful stay!!!!

A great place to stay when in Ft. Morgan. It is such a peaceful and relaxing place, especially when on the deck or on the dock. Only a five minute bike ride to the Gulf, it was so convenient and fun. The whole experience was great, and Shonna was so nice to work with!! My wife and I truly enjoyed our time here, and we would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in planning to spend time in this beautiful area.

Great Little Cottage

Place was just as described. Loved fishing from the dock, and we even caught a few fish. Clean and comfortable. Loved the old wood floors. Reminded me of my great grandma and grandpa’s floor. Brought back some great memories. Just peaceful and relaxing.

We had a great trip overall! Nice, clean, cozy house. Only complaint is that there is no ladder on the pier. If you want to swim, bring an extention ladder.
