Spring Break

EVERYTHING about the stay was wonderful except for the beds. Which made the stay missable. Would not recommend this property unless owner reinvests in new beds. Whole family did not sleep well the entire trip due to thrift store mattresses. would not have made this recommendation but VRBO has emailed me 3 times to give a review so you got it,. ...

Get what you pay for . Never forget

I get that it was cheap and I should ha e known . Bedding was hospital type . No Extra sheets or pillow cases . Pillows and mattress were awful . I had to go buy two and pillow cases . Kitchen wasn’t equipped . No skillet unless you count the one you may could fry one egg in . Went and bought two skillets also . I mean the can open was a hand can opener and that’s hard for older people . No place to put your grocery’s . We had to put them on the counter and table . But I leaned . You get what you pay for . The comforter if you wanted more cover was stained or dirty . The towels were stained . And so cheap . I mean cute area the pool was so nice . I’ll stay in the rookery but never that house again .never .

Quiet beach vacation

Walking distance to the beach. It is in an area away from crowds so a great place for a quiet vacation.

Sweet, Simple, Plenty of Room

We came for a simple beach vacation - we had 4 kids under the age of 10 with us, who only wanted to dig in the sand and swim in the ocean. This cottage was an easy 2 minute drive from a great public beach and we went every single day. Plenty of room, just don't forget your essentials - we forgot salt, pepper, coffee, and trash bags. We will return!

It was ok for short stay. Outdated. Things were rusted. You had to basic clean before leaving

the manager would not respond via email. I tried. False things in the description. I would give higher rating if it is updated with newer appliances and the beach chairs were not so rusty and were able to sit in

Beaches were GREAT!!!

We liked the area and the beaches! Fort Morgan Beach is the best beach to find shells early in the morning! It is a away from most places, so it was easier to cook at the cottage. However, we were not impressed with the cottage. Its actually a duplex with limited space. The cottage needs some upkeep and repairs. There was also a "security" person watching people at the pool in his own car - which was creepy. We will not be staying at the cottages again!!

COVID-19 Getaway

This was the perfect spot to be away from the crowds. While the stay was pleasant, there needed to be some repairs to some things. The beds are very noisy when you move. Pool was great! Short distance to beach.

Sad

Very disappointed with the lack of a view. The scruff and bush could have been cleaned up. The beds were very uncomfortable and the drive to anywhere was excessive. There was one teaspoon in the unit and lacking in pots and pans. The weather was lovely but that is the best thing I can say.

We enjoyed our stay

We really enjoyed our stay. I wish the check out time was later. It’s hard to get everything packed and the property cleaned with the keys turned back in by 10am. Especially when you are traveling with children. I feel like with as much as they changed for the cleaning fee they should be doing more of the cleaning (my original post had the amount of the charge, but apparently that’s not allowed in the review which has me further annoyed). The place was really nice, and there was plenty of sleeping space for the 8 of us. The bed I had was really squeaky. You could hear it every time you sat down which was annoying. The place was well decorated and very cozy and clean. The water was rusty the first few times we bathed our children, but it did clear up. They also had to close the pool down because it got pooped in. That wasn’t a huge deal because we spent most of the time on the beach. They did open it back up the next day so we did spend a little time at the pool. It was nice, and the kids enjoyed it. For the price it was well worth it. Overall I would definitely recommend staying here. We all had a great time and we’re sad to say goodbye.
