just perfect
This really was an exceptional place. Very Clean, plus the location is outstanding. Its the only beach that allows dogs and my dog Meli is a ocean gal!! The kitchen was well stocked and you have 3 different ways to have morning coffee. The beds are comfortable and there's plenty of room for everyone. There's an outside shower which helps get the sand off people and pets, along with a closet full of beach chairs and wagons to make getting to the beach easier. I timed my walk and it was literally 2 minutes!! beautiful white sand and lovely surf. I highly recommend this home, because that's what it is "a home". Just lovely :)

Very nice house
I really enjoyed the decor in the house. It was big enough to feel comfortable however if you have friends or family who want to come have dinner they need to be on the lease. Lindsey did make that process easy to remedy and said it was due to insurance. The back yard for the dog was a plus for sure.

Paradise
First let me start out by saying my husband says I am very critical and hard to please. I loved this property. We were supposed to stay in Gulf Shores and I switched to Fort Morgan as it is the only dog friendly beach. We took our two petite mini goldendoodles with us and I wanted them to enjoy the beach. I loved this house so much we are now looking to buy our own paradise down here on Fort Morgan. It was myself, my husband, my 1 year old daughter and two petite goldendoodles. This house was perfect. This home has two bedroom suites which was absolutely perfect for our set up. We each had our own space yet be together in the living room and kitchen. We cooked 6 meals in the kitchen and had every gadget/appliance we needed. The ice machine was a HUGE hit. We normally burn through so much bottled water and with Lindsay's ice maker we never opened a bottle of water. I tend to be a bit fussy on water but with the ice maker and the tap water I was good to go. We had a nice fenced in yard for our puppies to keep them safe. The walk to the beach was about a block. We did rent Lindsay's golf cart and that was fun taking it around and looking at the other houses. I got it mostly to haul the stuff to the beach with having a one year old. To be full disclosure I don't think I needed it but it was very convenient and never been to the area it was nice to have it to explore. There are very limited dining options unless you are driving to Gulf Shores which will take you about 25+ minutes which is fine with us because we like to cook at the house a lot to enjoy the beach. It does have the pool however we didn't use it. The weather wasn't quite warm enough. The sugar sand beach was pristine. Not a lot of traffic. For a while it was just myself, my daughter and two dogs on the beach in the morning. The house was just perfect. A huge bath tub which was very nice for myself and my daughter. I am pretty tall and I could have laid completely down in that tub. The water pressure in the showers was a little weak as I am used to much stronger but the outside shower under the house was very nice to get all the sand and salt off prior to going into the house. Wow what a slice of paradise. Book your trip you won't be disappointed.

Lovely time on spring break
My parents and I stayed here to explore a new beach/area. This is a Wonderful home in a quiet section of Ft Morgan. Great communication from the host, the house was very clean and smelled nice too. The house had an excellent layout and very comfortable amount of space for 3 adults. The outdoor shower and dog run were nice amenities. We did not use the community pool area too much, but it’s nice to have the option of a place to play ping pong, foosball, basketball, or go for a swim. Highly recommend this space!
