Great stay on the beach
Perfect low key location and house was so clean and very nice. A quick walk to the beach and no crowds. A few places nearby to eat, but definitely not the chaos of orange beach or gulf shores. If you’re looking for a nice, quiet location, this is it!

House was petty, looked to have been updated recently. Everything was clean. Big plus-- House on dead-end street with very little traffic.... One small issue was the one bathroom did not want to flush very good. Overall, we would book again.

There were small issues throughout the property such as soft spots in the floor and a hole in the hall door. Outside of that the house was great and nothing negatively impacted our stay

Great vacation!
The property was in excellent condition when we arrived. Very clean and it was stocked with everything we needed and more. From kitchen supplies to beach supplies. It was a very short walk to a nice local beach. While the water was too cold for the adults, the kids were having a blast everyday. They really enjoyed the beach toys in the storage room and we loved the beach wagon that helped haul them and the chairs that were provided. Overall, it was a wonderful stay that we will keep in mind. The property is a 30 min drive from large chain businesses/grocery stores but it isn’t a deal breaker by any means. Highly recommend this place!

Great Stay for the family including the dogs!
House was very clean had a great floor plan and the beds were very comfortable. This house being a new build gave the home a nice feel especially in Fort Morgan where you can run into old homes that need updating and cleaning. We had 4 adults and our two dogs and this house was a perfect setup with plenty of room for all of us. It was just a easy short 3-5 min walk to the beach. There is a downstairs closet where you can lockup and store your beach stuff and there is a downstairs fully functioning shower with hot water. This was very nice to have.

Great little house in a good spot! Short walk to the beach. House very clean! Fort Morgan itself is limited with food options, etc - but if you’re willing to drive 20-30 min, it’s not a big deal at all!

Delightful property & beach getaway!
Keep It Simple was exactly what we were looking for. Private, easy walking distance to an uncrowded beach, and peaceful. KIS is just 5 houses from the dune/beach access. Front deck is great spot to watch & listen to the ocean. Covered parking for 2 vehicles. 2 handy outdoor conveniences: a short hose at bottom of steps for washing off your feet upon return and a private outdoor shower that is really helpful. The small storage area with beach toys/boogie boards is an appreciative touch. Also, house is just 4 min from the Dauphin Island/Ft. Morgan ferry dock. Fantastic property! Highly recommended.

Family spring break
This house was an absolutely perfect beach getaway. We had three young children and two adults and fit in the space well. The dining area is a bit tight but we made it work. There's a picnic table and plenty of outdoor seating! Kitchen comes well stocked. Our kids loved the massive amounts of sand toys and the beach wagon was an awesome perk too! 2 min walk down the stairs and to the beach. Keep in mind, it is a bit of a drive (30 mins) to get back into the town (gulf shores) for big grocery shopping. But we found that we really didn't need/want to leave Fort Morgan much...it offers nice dining options and cute little grocery options! The house was a perfect beach getaway! Highly recommend

Perfect Family Beach Getaway
This house has it all for a family beach getaway- steps to the beach, sand area in the backyard, picnic table, an outdoor shower, an outdoor fridge, a bunk room and more! The home also had everything you would need for the beach with chairs, a canopy, a wagon and beach toys! All of these items are such a bonus when traveling with kids. On a holiday weekend, we practically had the beach to ourselves. We had 3 adults and 2 kids, and we all comfortably fit in the home. The kitchen and living area was a perfect size. The brand new home was very clean and we felt very safe in the midst of a pandemic. The backyard was perfect with the sand, grill, driveway and side yard. It had all of the outdoor necessities for a wonderful beach house weekend. We loved "Keep It Simple" although there was nothing simple about it...it has everything you need and more! The kitchen is stocked with every essential item. The neighbors are very friendly. We had great communication with the property management group. We absolutely loved our stay on this property and would highly recommend this home!

Lovely little beach home
This house was spotless and brand new! The out door shower is an amazing experience and it really is a 30 second walk to the beach. The rooms/ space was a little smaller than the photos online make it seem, but for four friends it was fine. I had originally thought about bringing my family but the kids would have been on top of each other, so I’m glad it worked out to be four adults. The furniture and appliances were in great condition. I cannot say enough great things about this home. The street is quiet, and I know this for sure because I’ve stayed in other houses on this street as well. Highly recommend this house for 3-4 people.

Home is located on a dead end street. Walk to the beach was about 5 min. Very short walk. We enjoyed cooking out and spending time with family. Very relaxing vacation.
