House it self was clean

We do a anniversary getaway with friends. This is year 4! We grill and sit outside and watch the sunset and enjoy being together. We learned the grill was not usable! The boards to get to the Private Beach access were rotten with nails coming out of the as well as bushes growing up between the boards in a few places. We sent pictures and let them know we planned to grill! Nothing was done. We won't rent this place again. We will try to be more careful about the places we stay.

The house was right by the bay and not fare to walk to the Gulf. The house it self was nice little older than pictures make it look but still a nice beach house.

Peaceful place on the Bay

Enjoyed our stay! The house is cozy and was very clean! Only thing I would suggest would be to update the grill and outdoor furniture because we really enjoyed sitting outside but the chairs are starting to fall apart. The grill is very old and made grilling burgers a bit challenging. We loved our view of the Bay at sunset and we weren’t far from the public beach access! Would love to stay again in the future.

Awesome!

Great place to get away. On the lagoon side so the water is nice and calm great place to go with the kids as it is a short drive to the big waves and just a few miles down the road is Fort Morgan and the ferry that will take you to Dauphin Island if you want to spend the day over there. Neighbors were great and most of them have fur babies too, and they got along fine with my older dog. There is no fence on the property, but it is a cul-de-sac so no need to worry about your doggy if he/she follows command. There is a sandbar that is on the beach and it goes out quite ways. Loved the view and sat out on the deck at night with the nice breeze and no mosquitoes. if you plan to grill, it is charcoal only and it is rather old. Might suggest you bring your own own hibachi to sit on the upper deck. That there was a shower under the deck with a showerhead for full body and one just for feet. There is also a hose and Spicket up on the upper deck which I loved. I would highly recommend this property.

Take a relaxing trip to Fort Morgan.

Our time at Blue Marlin in Fort Morgan was so relaxing. Cozy residence which we needed as one day the wind was so high with rain. Fishing was great and neighbors were fine.

Great Stay

Our stay was great! Nice and peaceful. The "Beach" at the bay was very nice. A few suggestions. The steps were hard for my mom to get up and down. A handicap ramp would be nice for older people. I kind of like them myself. Pictures of the outside need to be updated. The property didn't show the new houses on each of the house. Overall it was a great experience!!!

Nice house

This is a nice sized house. Just two of us. Wished there would have been a deck off the back of the house. Didn't realize the small beach was not directly out the door, but down a walkway, not a big deal though. Loved that it was pet friendly.

Great House, yard needs maintained

Great property. Great location. Comfy inside. Had everything we needed. Perfect for our family and extended family. Only problem was the yard was not maintained. It looked as if it had not been maintained in quite some time. Grass was at least knee high, weeds were waist high or higher in some spots. Couldn’t let kids play in yard due to condition. At one point a copperhead came between my step dads legs while he was getting something out of truck. Very scary. We saw an alligator on adjoining property. Be very cautious of snakes and alligators as they would be very hard to spot in grass/weeds that tall. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Disaster! Lied to! Expect partial refund!!!

I rented a “sleeps 8” as advertised. Barely into a week and homeowners took out the sleeper sofa which put my thanksgiving guests on the floor. We had to personally clean up dangerous construction debris all over yard with nails in wood poking up everywhere and in driveway! I had to replace refrigerator parts that owner had shipped to house. Owners had each closet packed with their **** and refused to allow us to use outside storage. Window in kitchen broken with exposed glass shards, kitchen faucet broken, listed as having a private pet friendly beach but was ran off by neighbors stating it was their personal property. I WANT A PARTIAL REFUND!!!! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Great Vacation in June 2020!

Great location and great swimming private beach area. Beautiful sunsets. All tile floors and very dog friendly. 16 steps into the home so pack bags with handles to go up and down stairs is a plus. Bring your lawn chairs for the beach which is only 3 minutes from stairs of house to water. Loved it! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
