Some venues even offer live, local entertainment.
Fort Morgan fishing pier is now open, and anglers will have access to convenient inshore fishing and the abundant species locally available.
Be sure and visit nearby Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge with over 7,000 acres of coastal habit. You'll be able to hike through the preserve and observe local flora and fauna. There are 4 trails, varying in size and terrain and you'll definitely want to make time to visit this natural oasis.

Would definitely stay again. Easy to get to beach. Tons of space for everyone. My only recommendation would be to have a rug in the foyer to catch some of the sand and at the kitchen sink.

Overall the place was great. We had a few minor things not working (dead light bulbs, garbage disposal, outside hose) on the first day and the response time was excellent and all was fixed within 24 hours. Only thing I would suggest and making sure when they make the beds they don't put the sheets on the floor first. All the beds had a little sand that we had to brush off. Minor and easily fixed.

Great location, lovely views, spacious, but NOT clean. Coastal View Vacations charges a steep cleaning fee but doesn't guarantee it will meet your expectations. Sheets were dirty and overall house wasn't clean; dead bugs embedded in couch. No refunds on the cleaning fee but instead will suggest the cleaning crew come out to reclean and/or bring new sheets. With such a high cleaning fee, renters expect the rental to be clean upon arrival. We were disappointed but made the best of it. Would not recommend.
