Amazing host/property

This was our second time staying at Mick’s beachview property in Fort Morgan, and it absolutely won’t be our last. The location is everything we love about a beach vacation—peaceful, private, and far from the hustle of big tourist spots like Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, yet still only a quick 15-minute drive if we wanted to grab dinner or check out the shops.The view from the house is breathtaking, and being just steps away from a quiet stretch of beach is something truly special. One of the major highlights for our family is the private heated pool—and yes, it’s actually warm, unlike many places that claim to have heated pools but don’t deliver. It was perfect for relaxing at any time of day.Mick is a fantastic host. He reached out well in advance of our trip, the week before, and even the day of check-in to make sure we had everything we needed. When we noticed a minor issue (a broken chair), he responded right away, apologized, and had someone out to fix it the very next day—keeping us updated the whole time. You can tell he truly cares about his guests' experience.As a family of five adults and two kids, we had plenty of space to spread out, enjoy family game nights, movie time, and just relax. Everything about this home makes it easy to enjoy your time and make lasting memories.Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a quieter, family-friendly beach getaway. Thanks again, Mick—we can't wait to come back! P.S. Go Brewers

April 2025

This is the second time we stayed at the property and this time I would rate as just ok. The weather was not the best and we ended up spending a lot more time in the house than before. Our opinion is the condition of the property has declined and it was not as well kept up as before. There was mold on the ceiling in the master bath shower toilet room, and mildew around the deck area and rear entry door. The rear sliding door was very difficult to open and close, specially for our younger children. We had issues with the pool heater not working multiple times and it seemed to coincide when we were looking to use it. Sounds like it was an internet service issue. It was just unfortunate when you pay an extra 50/day. We did appreciate the host paying attention to that. We are several meals in the house and also ran into issues with the refrigerator freezing food even though it was set on a low temp. The master bed was uncomfortable and very noisy, we definitely did not sleep well tossing and turning then waking each other up with the squeaking when we moved, one of the beds upstairs was similar. We love the location, but left feeling disappointed this trip.and probably looking to vacation somewhere different next time.

Shorething was a perfect Spring Break Getaway!

Mick was friendly from the moment I booked and continued to respond quickly when I had any questions. The house was perfect for our family & grandparents. The kids loved the heated pool and the very short walk to the beach. The outdoor shower with hot water is what every beach house is missing! I kept the kids shampoo out there and would go ahead and bathe all three when leaving the beach. Fort Morgan is so peaceful-none of the spring break crowd.

Thank you Mick and Kim for an awesome stay. Everything from start to finish was easy. your house is very comfortable, homey, clean and we could not have found a better location. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch having morning coffee, watching the sun come up, and meeting all the great neighbors walking by with a friendly good morning. The pool was amazing. Very clean, and warm. We would highly recommend staying here. Thank you again for a great vacation.

Very nice property. Great location, well maintained, furnished and cleaned. Nice gift bag provided water, hugger and sunscreen. As a practical matter, we would have preferred a box of tissues and a 2nd roll of toilet paper. The only real negative was a listing failure. Given the time of year, I selected this property specifically for the heated pool. After arrival, I learned there was an additional $50 per day fee to actually turn the heater on.

Perfect Spot!

Shore Thing was the perfect spot for our family vacation this year. We fell in love with Gulf Shores/Fort Morgan many years ago and can’t imagine going anywhere else. The private pool is a must have for our 3 boys, and the beach access is quick and easy. The house was everything we had hoped for, and communication with Mick was fantastic. We have stayed in many condos and beach houses over the years, and this one is a favorite. Thank you, Mick!
