Sunnyside Up

The house was super cute & comfortable. Just enough space with all the essentials for the week. The deck was a favorite. The outside shower and separate garden hose area was great to quickly rinse the sand off from the beach. Beautiful views of sunset and easy, quick access to the beach. A wonderful place for family.

Excellent!

Our visit to Sunnyside Up was wonderful! The house was perfect for our family. House was super clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. The pergola was our favorite spot! Just a short walk to the beach. The neighborhood was great for our early morning dog walks. Would recommend!
Sunsets were beautiful!

This property is at a great location. Expected a cleaner house upon arrival but after contacting the property manager about it, she scheduled someone to come out to clean at a time that worked for my family. Overall, a good place to stay.

Very close to the beach

We had a great stay here! The owners are very responsive and great to work with. The house was perfect for our needs. It was well stocked with everything and then some. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck every evening and enjoy the view and sounds of the beach. When we return to the area I will look to rent this house again!

Perfect

The house and location were perfect for the two of us and our two small dogs. The deck was a comfortable place to relax with nice views of the water. The beach was easy to access just across the street. The house was clean, updated and pleasantly decorated. We loved the quiet location. We would love to come back!

MY FAVE

My third time staying here in the last 10 yrs. In our opinion you can’t beat the value of staying here for what you get. The location, the amenities, the property and owners are all top notch, and for the price; you get the most bang out of your buck. Will stay here again if the lord is willing and the ocean don’t rise!

Wonderful!

The views from this house are wonderful! It makes being back at the house still feel like you’re at the beach. We loved the covered seating on the deck. The accessories under the house were lots of fun including hammocks, a swing, and picnic area. The house was clean with all the necessary amenities. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Great location!

Fantastic host, we were extremely pleased with how quickly and thoroughly Bridgitte handled even our least concerns! House was very clean and comfortable. Kitchen is well supplied, and I loved the extra pillows tucked away in the closet. The pergola was our favorite seating area to relax and watch the dolphins, ships, beach-goers and sunsets! Will definitely recommend to friends and family who want to be away from the crowds.

Perfect house!

My husband and I came to Fort Morgan to celebrate our anniversary. This house was perfect for us and our little dog but would be great for a family too. It was one of the cleanest houses we’ve stayed in. Updated, decorated beautifully and had all the little extras most houses don’t supply. The access to the beach was very close. Bridgitte was very quick to respond to every question and easy to work with. Highly recommend!!

Perfect beach house

Our dogs loved sitting under the gazebo as did we. Beds were comfortable, plenty of towels and loved the kitchen. Two small suggestions. The kitchen cupboard doors and drawer faces need a good cleaning as well under the sink. Didn’t know what to do with 5 remotes in LR. Still, 5*.

Great location and beautiful views of the ocean.

We had a wonderful time at your Lighthouse home. The 4 of us and our 2 small dogs had plenty of room. The beds were comfy and the living room was cozy. The only complaints I have would be no storage space for food and the deck had lots of bird poo on it. But we looked passed that and had a wonderful time. Thank you for the complimentary wine. It was great to have. We would definitely come back to your home again.

Birthday Celebration and vacation

Such a good experience with Sunnyside Up! Our family had such a good week! From start to finish communication was top notch. Sunnyside Up was such a special home and we appreciate Zach and Ashley for sharing with us. We were looking for a place that we could take our pup and the outdoor shower for pup washes and for us was perfect. The outdoor porch swing and outdoor living spaces made all so much more enjoyable. We would love to come back.

Great trip

Could not think of anything negative to review about The Lighthouse. They have put a lot of thought into supplying the house with the guests in mind. We took our dog and they even had food/water bowls and flashlights for when you take them out at night. Everything was well cleaned, had plenty of towels, linens, and kitchen utensils. Beach access is easy to walk to and have great views. Will definitely be staying here again. **One thing to note that has nothing to do with the actual house is there are a lot of stickers that got caught in my dogs feet. We had to make a trip to Petco and grab some doggie shoes.

Charming house & great location

The porch swing and gazebo were really relaxing. The house is located across the street from the beach. If you are looking for a quiet getaway this is it. I stayed at this property by myself with my dogs.The house met my needs perfectly. The surrounding neighbors were friendly. I felt safe staying here. The owners had a welcome card and a bottle of wine there when I arrived which I thought was a very nice touch. The house has a beach motif and a cute kitchen. I really thought the decorative pillows were cute. Also, they have Direct tv so I was thrilled I got to watch my football games and shows at night.The owners are very quick to respond to messages. My gps took me to a completely different location in Gulf Shores. Follow the directions the owners provide instead of gps to get to this location. I would definitely stay here again. Loved it!!!

Perfect Beach Vacation!

LOVED being on this end of the island! So quiet! Away from the traffic, but all of the beauty of the beach. Next time will plan accordingly as not to need to head to the grocery store for supplies so often. The Light House is a beautiful gem!! We had everything we needed for a week at the beach! The swing and chairs on the deck were great for morning coffee. The beach is a short walk across the street and down the path. Loved watching the pelicans dive and fish, we saw dolphins off shore and the sunsets were amazing! The kitchen is well supplied for almost anything you would want to cook. There were tons of beach towels for use. We made use of many of the games available. Puzzles and books for your relaxing time! They have though of everything! Jeanne was very attentive the couple of times I messaged her before and during the trip. We sent her a message re a few items in the house. She responded almost IMMEDIATELY! The grill handle was broken, we let her know--she had the maintenance person bring a new grill by the end of the day! Thank you for the use of your beach home! Great location! Wonderful amenities! And dog friendly if you choose to bring your fur-baby.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this property mainly for the cottage feel and the views of the beach. My favorite memory is sitting on the porch at sunset listening to waves.

What makes this property unique

The beach is 50 yards from the driveway.
