We were a little nervous about the house being a duplex because our family of 8 can be loud sometimes but never once did we hear the other side of the house. We even ran into them one morning going to get sunblock so we took the chance to ask if we were being loud and if we were apologize but they said they hadnt heard us either. The view was stunning! Kitchen was fully stocked with all the appliances we could need. We already miss this home. We can not wait to come back!

The perfect family spot
We adored our week here! The home is beautiful and was perfect for our family vacation. The view from the back windows is picture worthy. Our kids loved how close we were to the beach, and they could play in the sand while we drank our morning coffee from the balcony. The home was very clean, and every detail is so thoughtful! The kitchen is well stocked, and the furniture is comfort. The owners are so kind and easy to communicate with! We will definitely book here again!

It’s ALL about the details!
This place is GORGEOUS. We had the best family vacation and enjoyed every moment. Veronica was a lovely host, quick to communicate and very accommodating. The house is well stocked with everything you need for a dream vacation RIGHT on the beach. The details were just incredible: a fire blanket hanging on a hook in the kitchen, a pair of scissors in a magnetic holder on the fridge for convenience, amazing outlet stations in every room with different port options, a cabinet of family board games, Rokus for every TV, the cutest gray makeup towels, and even toilet paper that tears off like waves instead of straight across. Everyone in the family was happy; the teens loved the super fast Wi-Fi for their video games and the parents loved watching the dolphins in the morning from the two-story deck! Highly recommend American Family Care for any littles that get sick; they will get you in and out and back to the beach! Also, you will sleep great as my husband fell in love with their newer king sized Tempur-Pedic mattress. And let’s not forget those rainforest shower heads in every bathroom! I could go on and on about this place! 10 out of 10, highly recommend, book your awesome vaca here with no regrets!

Relaxation all week!
My daughters and I had a wonderful time staying at Big Blue for our Spring Break! The house is beautiful, clean, and has everything you would need. The location is amazing! We had such a relaxing time….if we weren’t lounging at the beach steps outside the house, we were lounging inside. Some nights we even went to bed early because the beds were so comfortable. The owners are very friendly and communicated with me immediately if I had any questions. I would definitely recommend this home!

Wow! To say we had a great peaceful time would be an understatement. The house was clean, beautifully decorated and stocked with all you need. The home is away from the crowds but not too far and we saw more dolphins than we did people. The beach was beautiful and with sunny 80’s for highs and 70's for lows, we couldn’t ask for better.

Wonderful!!!
We absolutely loved our stay!! The close proximity to the beach seriously has us spoiled now. We didn’t have to worry about standing and waiting on an elevator and then walking down a long boardwalk. Literally down one flight of stairs and your feet hit the sand!! And soooo many small kitchen appliances!! It was wonderful to have such a well stocked kitchen like that. We cooked all our meals at the house. It helped us out a ton!!

The Perfect Beach House
Big Blue is beautiful! The decor is comfortable, elegant but not stuffy. A great fully stocked kitchen. Its clean and open design was perfect for hanging out with the family, 6 adults and 2 twin 15 month old babies. It has a minimum of knick-knacks which made it easy for us to baby proof the main living space. And everything in the house worked!
The house is very sound proof. You can't hear the noises in the living room if you're upstairs. And the bedrooms are sound proof as well. A plus when traveling with little ones.
We loved being right on the beach and enjoyed the two covered decks when the weather was bad. The beach is very quiet and not crowded at all in this Ft Morgan area. Just what we were looking for!
Veronica was a perfect hostess. We had car trouble on our way out and she was helpful and concerned that we had a safe space to keep the babies out of the heat while we got the car working. She was above and beyond considerate I thought.
Thank you, Veronica! Everyone agreed we'd like to return to Big Blue again.
