It was a nice quiet stay. Not a lot of traffic in the area and plenty of room on the beach to stretch out and relax.

We were there 9 nights- the view is amazing the home is old but was clean. Few things could be improved for a better experience but it served our purpose of getting away and not having too many neighbors.

Week long getaway
Check in was a breeze. I knew this was an older house with some cosmetic issues when we reserved it. What we didnt count on was the broken chair no skillet broken outdoor shower, and the Cockroaches. Thats where i draw the line. They were in the bathroom and and a couple in the kitchen. When i messaged Vacas they told me to use use the spray provided and basically take care of it ourselves.. the location was beautiful and very peaceful. But overall we would not stay here again

Great view.
I’ve been staying at this property and El Pescador for several years. Long enough that Mary would actually mail you the key before your stay. She would also write thank you cards and even a Christmas card. The house was in great condition then. Now it makes me very sad. I love the beach view from the deck. I don’t like how run down it has become. Several water bugs in the bedroom. We kept our clothes zipped up in suitcases on the living room table. We also got notification on Wednesday that an inspector was coming the next day. Not exactly how you want to spend vacation. The insurance inspector was very nice. I wish this cute little home could be brought back to its original beauty.

Can't beat it for the price
Shows its age and furnishings are so-so. Fantastic location and beautiful view, excellent kitchen. Bring your own blankets, ventilation is spotty, fiercely cold in some places and hot in others.

We loved the location and the setting was great. Beautiful weather all week long. Unfortunately the home is in dire need of work. Wasn't very clean either.

Perfect location
This was the perfect location. Not busy, great view, etc. We really enjoyed the deck and being a little closer to town. The ac and wifi worked well for us. The home was mostly as expected given the other reviews, but unfortunately it really is in pretty bad shape. Most of it is tolerable, but the shower situation is embarrassing, unsafe and very dirty. I think this repair would help a lot of people feel better about staying here. A couple of other things worth noting: one of the chairs in the living room is broken and can't be used. The mattresses are heavily used and in pretty bad shape (think troughs where people lay). There's a lot of garbage around the house as well. If this is in your price range and you can look past some of the issues I wouldn't hesitate to stay because of the location If you are looking for a really nice house, comfortable beds and the ability to cook in a well equipped kitchen I would look elsewhere.

Perfect location
Have stayed in the Fort Morgan area for MANY years in many properties. This location is perfect. The house is nothing fancy, but very very comfortable and perfect for a pet to accompany you to the beach. Could have used a little information about how to operate the TV's. Never could figure it out so happily we had better things to do!!

Great location, but worst customer service.
If you are looking for the best view and not worry about the house and amenities. You are good. The location is amazing! Yo can walk right up the beach. As for the house itself, the internet never works, and the AC unit in the bedroom leaks. Was on the chat with the customer service everyday for 3 days, being promised someone local will contact me to resolved the problem. No one came and nothing was fixed.

Private Beach
The beach as stated in the listing was directly across the sand dune. What they didn't mention was that this was on a "private" road and the beach area which was only about 75 yrds away was very much like having your own private beach that "was" dog friendly. Wife and I and dog would get up every morning and set on the "really" nice balcony and not say a word and listen to ocean waves. Very peaceful and quiet. Loved it beyond belief. Will be going back in the fall after Labor day.

Great location, property needs updates
Seven night stay, first two nights, no internet, no TV, no offer of compensation. A/C did work. Been staying at this property twice a year for 13 years. Great location, view, but property upkeep has slipped last few years. Needs newer bedding, sleeper sofas replaced, stove needs attention. If renters are doing damage, fix it, don't rent to them again. Damage insurance is part of rental cost? Property is up for sale now, possible only minimum done for upkeep until sold. Shame, it's a good property, when taken proper care. Fall rental prices have doubled? Pair-O-Dice may be lost for us.

House “2” — location and view “10”
The house had bugs, there were traps in several places, the updates that it had underwent were obviously DIY. The popcorn ceiling kept falling chunk by chunk our entire visit. The last day we were there we were greeted by a giant cockroach. Not something you want to see when you are packing your bags to bring back home. HOWEVER!!! The view from the deck and the location of the house was amazing. If the house could get some serious updates it would be an absolute jewel.

fantastic location - property could use some work
This was a wonderful place to stay for a week with our dog. The location is perfect - very close to the beach. The deck has a gate to keep dog from wandering. The house itself could use some work, which we already knew from previous reviews. The kitchen cupboard doors are falling apart, and we found mouse droppings in the silverware drawer. There was a rat in the laundry room. We only used the master bedroom and found it comfortable, with a good view of the beach from the patio door. The patio door opened/closed with great difficulty, however. The patio door to the living room opened/closed well, so we just used that door instead. The bathroom apparently just had some trim work done, and the trim hasn't been painted, giving the room an unfinished appearance. With some attention to these details, this would be an outstanding rental.
