Relaxing Beachfront Home
This property is lovely. The view from the balconies to the ocean is stellar. We enjoyed lots of mornings and nights on the porches listening to the ocean waves. We also loved the large dining table for meals with our friends and family. The shower and tub in the main suite were nice (excellent water pressure). The storage room had plenty of beach chairs, pool noodles, and beach toys. We could have probably left all of our beach toys at home and still had more than enough. 🙂 The charcoal grill was also a nice amenity. Pool access was a nice touch for those with children. The indoor/outdoor pool and pool area was well kept. The hot tub was lackluster and not as clean. The jets were weak. It was, however, nice and warm. Regarding improvements that could be made: The mattresses are uncomfortable. Lots of stiff backs and sore hips. Mattress toppers could help. The living room furniture is terribly uncomfortable. We enjoy getting cozy for movie-watching & book-reading, after a long day at the beach - Difficult to do on these painfully stiff pieces. Side note: There are many stairs which could be difficult for guests with mobility issues. Disabled or differently abled people should be aware of this prior to booking. Overall, we were happy with our stay. The host was attentive and responsive. Fort Morgan is an excellent location with beautiful beaches Many wonderful memories were made.

Great property In a good area
This property was very well kept in a very nice area. The house is fantastic & The owner is very responsive. We have stayed on the Gulf Shores beach the last few years & decided to try out Fort Morgan. We had a lot of little kids and determined that the beach wasn’t as nice as the places we have stayed on Gulf Shores. It’s also about 30 minutes from the main highway But there’s plenty of small stores along the way. Nothing but great things to say about the host and their place, I think we just prefer the gulf Shores beach for little kids.

Family time
Had a wonderful time relaxing at the beach. Home had all the kitchen supplies you could need. This is a great place to stay there were foot wash areas to clean up after being on the beach and the house was close enough to board walk that you could make as many trips back and forth from beach with little effort. We will definitely visit again.

Bastian Family Gathering - 2024
It was great to be right on the beach. Having access to a pool was nice also, but the beach was the most enjoyable. The home was perfect for us. The only thing we noticed that couldbe improved upon was that there weren't enough towels in the bathrooms for everyone. Not for the beach, but for the bathroom. We would likely do this one again some day.

Great Week!
The house was the perfect layout for our family. The kitchen had everything we needed and then some. There were plenty of beach chairs and toys for the kids. The beach was a little walk since you can’t walk over the dune in front of the house but the boardwalk was a definite plus. Great beach and great week.

Great Stay
We had a great stay. Our trip included 4 kids (10,9,9 and 3) and 8 adults. We felt like the house was good size for our group. The fridge is standard size but we felt like it was a bit small for 12 people staying for a week. There is a dollar general 10 minutes away that has just about everything we needed. We enjoy how secluded the house and beach was in comparison to Gulf Shores.

Great location
Our group was looking for a place away from the action and this place was perfect! It’s near the end of the Fort Morgan peninsula. The beach is much less crowded. The property was also great in that it had a king suite on the main floor (for my parents who are older). Tacky Jack’s very close by for those who want to dine out. Good experience overall!

Ft. Morgan Gem
Our family just returned from our "first ever" all family vacation in Ft. Morgan and had the best time! The house is spacious and was perfect for our family! The kitchen was extremely well stocked and even though we didn't cook much, we would have had just about anything to work with had we chosen to do that. The view from the balconies was beautiful! There is a large dining table that was able to seat all of us and we enjoyed visiting on the balcony during the day as well. The house is well stocked with items you might need for children and babies and the store room below was a nice place to store our beach chairs/toys and was also stocked with some carts/toys, etc. We enjoyed our time there so much and would recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet, relaxing time near the beach!

Wonderful family trip
This home was perfect for our family vacation! We loved being on the beach, but with 4 kids under 4, it was also great to have a pool down the street. There was plenty of seating for meals - indoors or outdoors - and just about every kitchen item you could need (I’m a tea drinker and would have liked a tea kettle, but I’m probably in the minority!). It was awesome to have carts to take things to the beach - and there are Lots of beach supplies in the storage area that we didn’t need, but would be nice for those flying into town. We especially loved that the beach was not crowded - it was a longer drive into town, but that wasn’t what we were there for, so the extra space for sand castles. flying kites and setting up our canopy was perfect for us. My favorite part was sitting in the balcony in the morning for my devotions and at night, just listening to the waves crashing in. Bonus was that we saw dolphins from the house almost every day!

Beautiful Beachfront Home
The house was beautiful, it could definitely use a deep cleaning. Alot of sand on the floors and a dust covering on everything. We were a little shocked with the smoke detectors hanging off the walls and a horrible black mold issue in the upstairs closet. Several of us had horrible itchy eyes, runny noses and sneezing. By day 2- 3 of us were living on benadryl and eye drops. I did speak to the homeowner and she was willing to send her AC guy to the house at some point that week but we were afraid to stir it up more than it already was in the home. After spending that kind of money we were all a little aggravated that we had no other option last minute but to stay.
