About this property

Cozy beach cottage w/ pools, tennis and views

Highlights

Located in desirable Heritage Shores, Blessings in the Sand is your perfect family getaway. A pet-friendly home means there is room for everyone! And you'll love the gorgeous views from both the expansive front and back balcony. You'll be delighted to discover that the owner has invested in colorful, high end polywood deck furniture. Best of all, Blessings in the Sand is just a short stroll to the beach. If you are looking for an updated home with awesome views and pool and tennis access, it does not get any better than this! Pro Tip: The carport runs the length of the house, allowing you to pull in and out without ever putting your car in reverse.

The Space

The main rooms are open and airy so everyone can be in on planning the day's activities, and the cook doesn't have to miss out on anything while preparing a meal. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you'll need to prepare simple meals for those nights when you choose to dine in. The comfortable living room has ample seating as well which makes this space ideal for watching the large screen TV or just relaxing. And a large dining table that provides seating for 9 and three stools for countertop dining mean everyone can enjoy dinner at the same time.

In this one-story home, you'll find two King bedrooms, both with private baths. There is also a Queen and Twin room and a Queen and Twin/Twin bunk. There is an additional full bath as well as a convenient half bath. Lots of options for large groups or multiple families sharing a beach house. All four bedrooms have TVs and there is wireless internet throughout the home.

* Renter must be at least 25 years of age. Guests under 25 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was beautiful and clean. Stocked with everything you could need. The walk to the Gulf was short and easy. The property managers were super responsive, kind and helped with any concerns or questions we had not only for the house but for the area as well. We have never had service like they provided at any other rental! We would highly recommend this property and property managers!

Fun week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unit was nice and good size for our family. Clean look but it could use a good cleaning as pretty dirty under beds, blinds, light fixtures, top of fridge and other places like that. Not enough wash towels provided so had to wash them each day to shower. AC filter was filthy. Looked like it hadn’t been changed in weeks. Like I said unit was good size and worked for us. We had a good time and enjoyed our stay. Just a short walk to the beach.

Relaxing beach vacation

We enjoyed the beach house!! Everything worked (air conditioner, dish washer, ect). Plenty of kitchen supplies for 6 adults and 3 kids. Really appreciated gate on the porches to keep the 2 year contained.

It was nice.

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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Heritage Shores is a nice neighborhood for families with children. The pools and beach are a close walk from the house. Our family also stayed at Blessings in June 2022. The living room furniture has been updated and the kitchen refreshed since our visit last year. What a nice surprise for us.Coastal View Vacations was great to answer any questions we had. Thanks for the memories.

Amazing Beach House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family had an amazing beach vacation at this house! Just a few minutes walk to the beach, pool, basketball court, ping-pong, it was awesome! There was a minor plumbing repair needed when we arrived that was handled quickly by the property manager. The house was super clean and smelled good. All appliances worked great. There is only a small snippet of beach that is view-able from the back deck, but we knew that going in. We love Ft. Morgan and will definitely be back for more "Blessings in the Sand!"

THIS IS IT!!!

We stayed for 5 nights at the beautiful Blessings in the Sand home and we could NOT have made a better choice! This home has a remarkably well-stocked kitchen and was very clean upon checkin. It boasts two large covered porches, 4 beds and 3.5 baths. Room for three cars underneath the house and convenient to the main road. It’s one block to the beach which can ne seen from the back porch and only 1/2 block to the pool and tennis court out the front porch. Take your beach towels and have an awesome visit at the nearly empty white sand beach. The only thing in short supply was potholders but otherwise all you need is clothes and food!

Spring Break Getaway

Blessings in the Sand was perfect. Much roomier than we expected. Walk to the beach is easy. Community is quiet. The beach was not crowded at all.

Great vacation spot

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have stayed in the Heritage Shores community before with my family but in a different rental. This year’s rental was noticeably better maintained and cared for. Walk out the back door and you’re a 2 minute walk down to the public access beach. Walk out the front door and you’re a minute walk from the community pools. This rental had everything we were looking for.

Lovely very well stocked house

We had a wonderful time in this house. It is very spacious. We had 8 adults and 2 dogs and did not feel cramped at all. The kitchen was very well stocked with a variety of cookware. We loved that both balconies had a gate to shut so our dogs could be on the deck with us. I wish both doors to the house had a key pad instead of just the front door. Our only issues were that the queen bed in the bunk room needs be replaced. It sinks in the middle of the bed when two people lay down. So you both are rolled to the middle of the bed. Also the shower head in king bedroom with the tub shower did not work so it could only be used for baths. Other than those two things everything was great.

Convenient, Clean and Comfortable

This roomy clean home was perfect for our grandchildren and dogs. It is a short walk to the beach. The outdoor shower has warm water! The property manager was amazing. I received a message one week out letting me know that the house code would be sent to me shortly before check in time. This was huge. A welcome message was sent shortly before our arrival. Questions and concerns were promptly answered and responded to. Great experience and we will return to this property and if it's not available, we will stay with this management group.

We enjoyed a brief fall getaway in Fort Morgan. The house was lovely, clean, well-equipped. One block to beach access, across the street from the pool. Not crowded. Would rent again. Highly recommend you try the Sassy Bass Pizza!
