Great Vaca

We have been coming to Ft Morgan for 37 years and this is only the second time we have stayed in a duplex. Normally we rent a large house. Was surprised at how roomy it was and how well it was equipped. We enjoyed our stay.

Family vacation

We picked this home because of its location right on the beach and its amenities. There was plenty of space for everyone in our family. Plenty of kitchen items, a great ice maker, and lots of refrigerator space. It is definitely a place we would go to again.

Wonderful trip! 🏝️

A beautiful home right on the beach! A perfect location for a quiet beach visit, but close enough to town for family fun. The home is lovely, has everything you could need, and the owner was readily available for any and all questions. Checking in and checking out was easy.

Perfect for Family Vacation

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is right on the beach. We watched lots of dolphins playing each morning. The blue angels flew right by the house practicing their maneuvers. Plenty of room for the 12 of us. The kitchen had everything we needed and is well supplied with cookware, plates, utensils, etc. The owner was great to work with.

Loving Tug Life

Loved being on the beach. Great neighbors. Everything worked. We let the homeowner know there was a leak under the bathroom and a very nice plumber came out the next day. Kids loved the game table. Adults loved the ice maker. Definitely will come back!

Perfect getaway

We LOVED our stay at Tug Life!! Owner was very communicative about everything leading up to the trip! Rooms were spacious. Comfortable beds. Well stocked kitchen. Plenty of room for our 4 kids and their friends. The only thing we had issues with were the condition of the stairs leading down to the beach, but when I messaged the owner she said they are being replaced in a couple of weeks! We will definitely be staying there again if it’s available when we decide to book!

Nice, quiet weekend getaway spot!

We had a fantastic time at Beth’s property. The location and the amenities were great. All of us fit comfortably in the home and we really enjoyed the open kitchen/living/dining room, as well as the huge front porch. The host and management team were extremely accessible and communicated quickly, which is always appreciated. Would absolutely recommend. We were a little surprised to find this rental is part of a duplex. That said, the neighbors were pleasant and we had no issues with parking or beach access. Thanks again Beth!

Great stay

The house was laid out fantastically for our extended family (grandparents to grandkids). The kitchen has a huge table, two refrigerators and a separate ice maker, which is brilliant for a large family to do a large grocery haul and eat most meals at the house. The parking, back porch and access to the beach were great. We had a few life-happens quirks while we were there (bad storm and close lightening overnight fried TVs and needed maintenance on the deck stairs was performed one morning), but the host handled them very well with an excellent crew. The mattresses are due for a replacement, and we let the host know - I feel certain they will be replaced timely. We look forward to staying again!

Tug Life - Outstanding July 4th

We had 2 families of 4, with kids ages of 11, 11, 13, & 5, the house was the perfect size for all of us and had plenty of room for a few more. Location is awesome, even with it being the week of July 4th, we had a ton of beach space to ourselves and it didn't feel crowded around us like several other locations were that we saw further East down the beach. The owners made our check-in easy and made sure we had everything we needed. There were a couple small things that needed to be fixed - lights under the house were you park and can grill, but that was a very minor inconvenience. I highly recommend this place and can say you won't be disappointed with everything this house and location has to offer. Please Book your stay at Tug Life and I promise you'll make fantastic memories like we did!

5 STAR R&R

From the moment I booked until we left, our experience with the owner and our stay at Tug Life was no less than 5⭐️. Beth is a wonderful owner to work with and responded very promptly with any questions we had. The house was extremely clean and very roomy to accommodate us all; from my 10 month old grandson to my 76 year old mother. The kitchen is very well appointed and having 2 refrigerators and a separate ice maker is genius and was well used! The large table fit us perfectly to sup at dusk and play board games at, and the deck was so nice to relax out on under the stars at night and listen to my daughter play her guitar for us. Even though there was a large group of people next door, we couldn’t hear a peep from them. Having 3 king sized beds was a must for us, so we were SO thankful for that! This is hands down the best place we’ve stayed at at Fort Morgan and hope we can continue to for years to come! Thank you for a wonderful place to enjoy the beach and rest and relax in!
