Great location but house needs work

This is our second year for our family trip at Seahorse Sands. Location and beach are excellent. The house is a nice size for our family of 10. The patio is great. The house itself needs some work. The patio door would not close well which made it a constant issue with our toddlers. Dishwasher did not get hot enough to melt the soap. We had to hand wash all the dishes. Some windows won’t lock. That came in handy on our 3rd night when our access code would not work. We entered thru the open window. We were able to get a new code timely. The storm shutters that keep the light out did not work on a few windows. Many of the blinds were missing the rod to open and close them. The house was very clean inside but there were overflowing garbage cans as we arrived with more trash around the cans. The oven did not heat but could have been related to a thunderstorm one day. The pool was great for children. A limited supply of cheap towels. Overall we had a very nice week.

Thanksgiving 2023

Great house! Great location! We had a wonderful trip! The floor plan was great for our big family and was very spacious. The beds were comfortable. There was plenty of space to store Thanksgiving food. It was great to see the short walk to the beach. Some family members who have trouble with long walks were able to come out to the beach with us with no issues! I was a little worried with some of the other reviews but we didn't have any issues and had a great Thanksgiving. We made lots of wonderful memories. We would definitely book here again in the future.

Great space for large group with lots of little maintenance needs

We had a group of 18 here for fall break and absolutely loved the easy access to the beach. The huge deck was a wonderful space to all be able to hang out on, and we loved the multiple balconies. The house had plenty of space for our group and really appreciated the huge pantry and second refrigerator. There were lots of minor issues, most of which we didn’t feel needed to be called about. The issues we did bring up to vacasa were very quickly taken care of. For a house that sleeps 20, there was only enough silverware for about half that, some of the doors wouldn’t latch closed and had to be locked to keep them shut, and the pool was farther away than we were expecting. There are tons of “beach items” leftover from past visitors—some usable, some completely broken—but rest assured you do not need to bring your own sand toys, baby pools, beach chairs, etc as they have many to choose from (though every boogie board was broken). There aren’t many options super close to the house for food or activities, but the beach was nice and quiet and we saw tons of wildlife every day. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

Best Vaca!! Thankful.

This was perfect for our family. So thankful. Beautiful views! Spacious. We don’t have any complaints. Was everything absolutely perfect? No. But there was nothing so bad we needed to call. And we’re not complaining. Just very thankful to be there for the week. You will love it!!

Great Location. Great View. House needs Attention.

House is in a great location and has a great view. Lots of room and big kitchen. House needs attention though. Had to buy batteries for several remote controls for televisions and cable remotes. We had trouble getting 4 tv's to hook up to cable and had to call to get someone to come out and get 2 of them hooked up. The dryer needs to be replaced as we had to run it 8 or 9 times(I'm not joking)to get a load of laundry dry. The house just really needs some TLC with some drywall repair and paint wouldn't hurt. Some light bulbs were out and when we arrived we had to call to get kitchen towels as there were none at the house. We had a great time but it was a rough start.

Family Vacation at Seahorse Sands

Seahorse sands is a beautiful, large house right on the beach. There is plenty of room for a large family but as much as I would like to give it 4 or 5 stars, I just cant. The house really wasn't cleaned well at all. The furniture hadn't been dusted. It was extremely gross under all the beds. There was a wrapper on one of the beds, fecal matter on the toilet upstairs, possibly blood on the floor in front of the downstairs master toilet, and when I looked under the area rug in the living room, it was covered with pet urine spots which my dogs noticed from the get go. I reported things to Vacasa and a housekeeper did call the next day to see if she needed to come clean. So that was nice but we were already all in there and I had cleaned and actually rolled up the living room carpet and put it up for the week. There was just a lot and at this price point , the house should've been cleaned thoroughly before we arrived. The direct tv stated that the bill needed paid and so that was done on Sunday afternoon after notifying them. The propane tank was empty but they did send someone after being notified with a new tank. The house is currently for sale and needs quite a bit of updating but the location and space is amazing. I just really wanted to get there and enjoy it from the start but there was a lot that needed addressed. We really did have a nice time though and am thankful to Vacasa for responding when I contacted them.

Great house, poor housekeeping

Loved the location and the layout. Disliked the cleanliness, the direct tv service was blocked, the DVD player in the living room could not be hooked up to the tv because the av plug had been pulled out of the tv leaving the rather large tv useless, dining area chairs had staples poking out of them, and some beds had sand in them before they were used.

Unprofessional company

The house could have been lovely but so many things were broken or dirty that our stay at Seahorse Sands was a very poor excuse for a vacation. Vacasa was impossible to contact and/or work with.

The house was beautiful, had easy access to the beach and the quiet of Fort Morgan is perfect for a family vacation. However, the property was not clean when we got there. We had to clean 3 of the showers & toilets before using them because they had hair and sand in them. Maintenance had to come work on the drains because they weren't draining properly in two showers. The vent in the kitchen behind the trash can was filthy, the inside rugs were full of sand before we even made it to the beach and we swept up food from under the counters that we did not have with us. We only had one garbage can to use until Wed., the fridge in the utility room smelled of fish, so we cleaned it and put in a freshener so we could use it and the freezer door of the fridge in the kitchen was stuck closed. Eventually a loaner fridge was brought and parked under the house with an electric cord run up through the front door for power for a few days because the power outlets outside were not working well enough to run a hair dryer much less a refrigerator. There are no toilet paper holders in 3 bathrooms and there's a hole in the wall where one once was. It's interesting that some of the same issues we dealt with were mentioned in comments from Mahaley A., April, 2022 and Mike R., May, 2022, and were never addressed such as the freezer door, storm blinds still not working on some of the windows, kitchen faucet leaked, the toilet ran on and the door on the armoire in master bath was still broken. Our family rented this house 5 years ago and had an outstanding stay. Needless to say we were very disappointed in the cleanliness and the condition of the property this time. We had 8 visits from maintenance during our stay which seems excessive. Renters are asked to give feedback but if our comments or suggestions are not addressed what is their purpose? This is a beautiful property and we had a wonderful time with our family, but all the issues we encountered took away from the vacation we had all envisioned. Hopefully some of these problems will be addressed in the near future.

Nice but needs some TLC

House was plenty big for a large group. For this much money the house could use some touch ups to things like door handles not working correctly, bathroom faucets leaking, storm window coverings broken, kitchen water faucet sprayer broken. Not anything that ruins the trip, just things you would expect to be better. The house is in a great location and great access to the beach.

Great location, right on the beach!

Overall, we loved this home. The layout was great and worked very well for our large family. However, when we first got there and started getting dishes out of the cabinet, we realized that dirty dishes had been unloaded out of the dishwasher and placed with the clean ones. There was food caked on the plates, bowls, silverware, and glasses. The back porch was very messy and it looked like a trash bag had leaked on its way out the door but never got cleaned up. We also came across a few cockroaches in the bedrooms, which is never fun. So, we spent the first hour or so just making sure things were clean and the dishes were washed. Then there some small things like toilet paper holders falling off the wall, a door that wouldn’t open all the way because it was dragging the ground, and a few other little things. We would probably stay here again if we were reassured that the house was actually clean prior to arrival.

The Perfect Family Vacation Home

We spent Thanksgiving week in Seahorse Sands. We had 18 people ages 5-80. The open floor plan is perfect for a large group. The house was very clean and furniture and beds were quite comfortable. I would not hesitate to rent this house again. My only recommendations for maintenance would be that some of the main level patio railing spindles are loose and need fixed. We found one missing and laying in the sand below the house. Also, main level patio door is hard to close. The one item that would make this house perfect would be a stand alone ice maker. We have rented for 3 decades from Meyers, Relax On The Beach, and now Vacasa and have been 100 % satisfied.

So many easily fixable issues…

We loved the house, we have a big family vacation every year, and this accommodated us well. Super close to the beach, we love the Morgantown subdivision. Loved the multiple coffee makers, having two refrigerators, sofas were super comfy, lots of great places to sit outside. Now the bad… The kitchen freezer is almost unusable. It was stated in other reviews, and no one bothered to fix it. One of the toilets upstairs needs repair, also mentioned in previous reviews, with no repair. The outdoor shower under the house is unusable, as it is packed with beach toys and just a mess. A lot of the beds had overwhelming amounts of visible sand in the sheets. The frying pans and stove are horrible-again, super easy fix! A lot of the chairs at the kitchen table are broken, and (as mentioned in previous reviews) an armoire in the master bath, has a door that just falls off at random times. It’s disheartening that super easy issues are continuously ignored, because this house is awesome, just needs some love (and maybe a coat of paint). I will add that Vacasa was great when our door code wouldn’t work, super quick response, and so polite.

Beach Paradise!

We absolutely loved this house from the moment we drove up and walked in! The house is beautiful and well stocked and the walk to the beach is wonderful! Beautiful white sand right down to the ocean and so private. The back porch was lovely to have coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening and the sunsets were spectacular!! We will definitely come back! Just a few small things like blinds that are broken, would be nice to have some seating on the upstairs balcony and maybe could use some new paint but overall this home is very worth it and we loved every moment we spent here!

Great family trip

This house was as advertised. Great beach. Great patios. You do have to provide many things I was not accustomed to. Salt and pepper, trash bags, Kleenex, decent toilet paper, etc. There were no window covering on one room facing east with big windows. Cabinet door fell off in master bath. The positives far outweighed the negatives. Ft Morgan area is quieter and less congested. About 15 minutes to Gulf Shores.

Gorgeous Beach House

My family enjoyed our time at Seahorse Sands. The location, size and amenities were incredible. There were plenty of bedrooms with comfortable beds and clean bathrooms. Views from every room! The large kitchen was well equipped and the living room had plenty of comfortable seating. DirecTV was also provided. The outdoor space is generous and the beach front location was icing on the cake. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Excellent location but needs work

The location of this house is absolutely perfect. It sits right on the sand and just a few steps to the water. The layout and bed arrangement works well for large families or multiple families traveling together. Although it wouldn’t prevent me from staying there again, there are many, many issues in the house that needs addressing. They are all small things that aren’t a huge deal, but they add up. To name a few, the faucets are leaky, a toilet didn’t work, storm shutters didn’t work and there were no blinds or curtains on those windows, the dryer hose was full and the dryer wouldn’t dry, the freezer door stuck and wouldn’t open, and the door to an armoire was broken. I hope management would take notes from these reviews and fix all these issues. The house is great and we had an excellent time there.

Disappointing

There are numerous safety hazards (broken deck railing, electrical switch rusted out and falling off, hurricane blinds detaching from house, etc.) and items needing repair or attention (leaks in bathroom ceiling and from fan switch, no window coverings in bedroom, freezer not working properly, etc.) We stayed in Gulf Shores last year in a beach front home about a mile down the beach that was of comparable size and cost/night. We expected that this home would be of similar quality and were frankly quite disappointed.

Beautiful home!

This home is wonderful , adequately equipped kitchen , great parking , wonderful back deck area. However, garbage disposal was broken, no blinds or roll down shutters in upstairs master bedroom facing the beach , garbage cans were slammed full of garbage and AC not working upstairs. After multiple calls , on the 3rd day- Ac was repaired . Privacy issue was never addressed- had to buy shower curtains and make shift a curtain. Garbage was picked up on the 2nd day. This home is absolutely beautiful and in a great location , just needs some TLC and I felt like our issues should have been addressed by management in a timely manner. This feedback is only meant to improve for future stays , not to Discount this beautiful home.
