It was wonderful!! We loved all the outdoor seating!! Very clean and comfortable. Only downside was the chairs at the kitchen table. They were too small for several of us. With that being said… we were very comfortable on the couch, beds and outdoor furniture!!! The kitchen had everything we needed…. A couple extra pods for dishwasher would have been nice. Overall, excellent vacation experience!!

This is a great property and the location fit our needs as a family. 2 things to note however: it is not beachfront and you get the beach view through 2other houses. The public beach access is about a mile away but the property comes with a golf cart so that was no problem. The 2nd note is that pipes are being replaced under the roads around the community which is also not a big problem but we did not have water when we arrived. I would just liked to have known that ahead of time so we could have prepared for it. Otherwise, great house and good location.

Fort Morgan Beach Trip
Lovely house! Been staying in Fort Morgan for years now and it's always great. Neighbors in the community were so kind and the beach is always so quiet. Especially this time of year with all the spring breakers.

Perfect for family getaway
The house was perfect for our family getaway! Having coffee on the front porch with a direct view of the ocean was a perfect way to start the day. We had 5 adults and 6 kids and it never felt too crowded. I only wish we could have stayed longer.
