This was our second time staying at this property. We love the neighborhood, the pool, and easy access to a private beach. The house is spacious and comes with everything you need! Two decks-one for morning and one for evening, an outdoor shower so you leave allllll the sand under the house, and easy access to some sweet spots in Ft Morgan.

Great Location

Blessings in the Sand was spacious with a well-equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the neighborhood feel of Heritage Shores. The home was near the pools and was actually a little closer to the beach than it appeared in photos. The front and rear balconies were nice where we could see the bay and the beach. Definitely we would rent this property again. This was our first time staying in the Fort Morgan area.

We have stayed in this area many times prior and have always enjoyed our stay. The house was nice. Wish it would have had a few more kitchen utensils (frying pans) but other than that we had everything we needed. The walk to the beach was nice. Really could not have asked for anything more. The house was perfect for my family.
