Host was very communicative before and during our stay. The Sea Shed was exactly as described and suited us perfectly. It was well stocked and we were able to cook a few meals with everything provided. Bed was comfortable and the whole Shed was very clean and well maintained.It is about a 10 minute walk to the public access for the beach, but the rolling cart made it light work. It's nice that they offer a golf cart, though we personally didn't use it. Definitely double check the bucket of beach toys before heading to the store to buy anything. Overall, a beautiful area that was quiet and relaxing. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Solo getaway
Hidden gem. Absolutely loved it. The owners are very attentive and thorough. All the little details made it extra special for me. Ft. Morgan was perfect. A new discovery for me and I definitely will be returning. The Sea Shed was perfect. Kitchen, bathroom, loft, living space was just right. Very clean. Well appointed. Color scheme was right up my alley. The view from the kitchen window looking at the Gulf was incredible. Cute lil neighborhood. I didn’t know the beach entry was as far a walk as it is but do-able. The beach wagon and canopy were great. Took me about 10-15mins to put up the beach canopy by myself. Not difficult at all. It was awesome to feel the breeze and warmth but not in the direct sun. Beautiful views. Found a perfect Gulf retreat. I’ll be back for sure.
