Beautiful views right on the beach. Location was perfect with not many people on the beach making it feel more private. House was clean and ready to go when we arrived. Had everything we needed for our stay, even had buckets and shovels for our kids to build a mega castle on the beach. Communication was very clear and friendly. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely Awesome

Big family vacation this year-- our 3 kids, their spouses and 2 young grandsons! This house was perfect for our group. Lots of space inside and out, but we particularly like that the main floor deck has a gate across the steps down to the beach. Comes in very handy with 2 little ones. Beachfront location is spectacular, and the views from the house are breathtaking. My husband and I have been to Fort Morgan a few times and we've always liked where we stayed, but I believe we have a new favorite! Reed Real Estate was easy to work with and very helpful. Thank you Lynn for sharing your beautiful home.

Wonderful relaxing beach vacation

We had a very nice stay here. It was relaxing, close to the action, yet far enough away to getaway. We cooked every meal at the house due to Covid and everything was well stocked and we had a great time eating on the porch each evening.
