Great place to stay. Plenty of living space in the house. Area was nice and quiet, beautiful views. Easy drive to Fort Morgan definitely worth exploring with two beautiful beaches very close as well.
We had a very difficult time getting in to the house. We had the TEN digit code but didn’t know you had to push a button on the lock to make it work. Only had one key. The couch was in terrible shape—once you sat down you couldn’t get up. Two electric boxes in the bedrooms were kinda scary. House was spacious and decorated nicely. Deck was great! TVs and kitchen dishes were plentiful.
Home was the right size in a quiet area.the negative was the borad walk behind the house needs work and clear of overgrowth.beach are that we were to use had this black type water and grass.plus it needed the trash pick up.the house was comfortable the sofa needed to be vac offdue to the sand.under the cushion due to sand.did not have enough towels.but brother our own.the sheets had linen balls so bought sheetsto use.but for that it was a good stay

We do a anniversary getaway with friends. This is year 4! We grill and sit outside and watch the sunset and enjoy being together. We learned the grill was not usable! The boards to get to the Private Beach access were rotten with nails coming out of the as well as bushes growing up between the boards in a few places. We sent pictures and let them know we planned to grill! Nothing was done. We won't rent this place again. We will try to be more careful about the places we stay.

Thank you, Katrina, for your feedback. We are happy you enjoyed this home. We are very sorry you weren't able to use grill. It is always our goal for our guests to be able to use everything the home has to offer. We will continue to work with both our local staff and homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you.
We enjoyed our stay in Fort Morgan. The house is great for parents plus 2 teens and we loved bringing our dog also. Furnishings are fine (not deluxe) though the couch was kinda permeated with sand, which didn’t come from our dog because we only allowed her to sit on ottoman that I covered with my own sheet. There’s more neighboring rentals than you see in the listing photos, I think they haven’t been updated since several properties were built. The beach is slightly in view but you are looking past the other houses to see the bay. But those are minor details and the price was very reasonable. I definitely overall recommend the property! We loved that it’s less than a mile walk to get to the beach on the Gulf side of Fort Morgan. We had fun exploring tiny Fort Morgan and still drove back to Gulf Shores at some point each day. We did a sunset dolphin cruise from a place called Surfs Up and they did the 2-boat wale and we saw so many dolphins! Great family activity and our teenagers loved it.

Hi Ericka, thank you for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback as a means to continually improve our homes for future guests.
We hope to host you for another truly carefree and great vacation in the future!
Our time at Blue Marlin in Fort Morgan was so relaxing. Cozy residence which we needed as one day the wind was so high with rain. Fishing was great and neighbors were fine.
We were pleasantly surprised of this rental property and of the surroundings. The home was very clean and made us feel relaxed right when we open the door to the first night of sleep there to departure.
Our stay was great! Nice and peaceful. The "Beach" at the bay was very nice.
A few suggestions. The steps were hard for my mom to get up and down. A handicap ramp would be nice for older people. I kind of like them myself. Pictures of the outside need to be updated. The property didn't show the new houses on each of the house.
Overall it was a great experience!!!
