Needs updated distance to beach info!!!

VRBO's listing stats 9 min walk to beach. This is very inaccurate and needs to be updated!!! It's at best a 25-30 min walk across a busy highway. We rented this house ENTIRELY because of the walking or biking distance to the beach, but ended up having to drive there. It was quite a distance and The public access has very limited parking. The house was clean on the surface, I even rated it 4 out of 5 at first glance, but that was wrong too. We found dirty socks and other personal belongings behind throw pillows on the couch. When we pulled out the sleeper sofa there was food crumbs and sand, lots of it. When we moved the loveseat out to pull out the sofa bed, we found dirty shoes and chewed dog toys. The beds were good and bathrooms were nice. The house supplied a lot of dishes and cooking supplies. There isn't a ton of outdoor space and The parking is tight especially for big cars. The neighborhood was nice, the HOA rules are a bit strict especially with parking and golf carts. Pools were nice, but soooo hot! Also, there's signs posted in the house about rinsing the sand off before showering, but there is no outdoor shower, except at the pool. Fort Morgan Beach was great.

questions were not answered correctly

very nice place. we enjoyed the pools also. However, would have liked to know that there were water/beach stuff at the property. I asked this and was told they did not have any so we bought some and when we got to property they had a full chest of beach/water stuff. Knowing would have saved us over $40.00. Very frustrating plus I think the property could supply more toilet paper etc. We had to spend money on this as well.

Cozy beach house perfect for our family

We traveled with our two small kids. They loved the bunk bed room. Our beds were comfy as well. We figured out the TV and internet quickly. We loved the lanai area. It created such a pleasant second space for my husband and I or the kids. A short drive from beach and downtown. We had a wonderful time here!

Loved the house...but

The house itself was great! Check-in took forever. We got in late and the code didn't work, had to wait for answer. Took 30 minutes to finally get one that worked all be eaten up by mosquitos. Not knowing the area, it would have been good to know that it was 15 miles from Gulf Shores! Last day we took golf cart out and it died on us fully charged. Takes forever to get response from the service that answers text because its automated. Finally got someone to actually calls us. No extra trash bags in the house and no trash cans close to dispose of it. Like I said we loved the house!

Perfect getaway

We had 8 people in our group and plenty of space for everyone. It was a cute little neighborhood of beach houses and wasn't very crowded. It's a short drive or walk to the beach as well. We loved everything about it except for the beds. Would recommend new mattresses. We definitely recommend this place if you are wanting a laid back vacation!

Nice, close to the beach

It was a nice property, super close to the beach. I know there is sand everywhere but when we arrived the floors were still pretty sandy and there was even sand in the beds. Could use more kitchen essentials and stock more towels. The golf cart was ok at first but then wouldn’t hold a charge and after talking to neighbors it has been known to have issues.

Great location

We love the rookery! It’s never crowded, not even on the 4th of July! Beach was close and beautiful with plenty of space. House was clean and spacious with lots of beds! The only negative I have is, the property owner allowed us to use the golf cart which was great, but I contacted him several times to get the code to the box that held the key. If I had not guessed the code was the same as the house number I would have never gotten access as I was told.

Great place!

This place was perfect for our family. It met all of our needs. Access to the beach was great. Would recommend foam mattress toppers (mattresses are very firm). Would also recommend new batteries for the golf cart. It would not hold charge all day. Overall this is an excellent place to stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Vacation Stay

The property was beautiful. However, it took us about an hour to get into the cottage. Property management had to send over someone to help us get in the code key would not work for us. We were disappointed that the golf cart was out of service but we were reimbursed for the golf cart. I would have given the cottage a 5 star rating but the comforter had poop on it. Management did take care of this immediately. With everything said above I would still rent the cottage very, very nice.
