Needs updated distance to beach info!!!
VRBO's listing stats 9 min walk to beach. This is very inaccurate and needs to be updated!!! It's at best a 25-30 min walk across a busy highway. We rented this house ENTIRELY because of the walking or biking distance to the beach, but ended up having to drive there. It was quite a distance and The public access has very limited parking. The house was clean on the surface, I even rated it 4 out of 5 at first glance, but that was wrong too. We found dirty socks and other personal belongings behind throw pillows on the couch. When we pulled out the sleeper sofa there was food crumbs and sand, lots of it. When we moved the loveseat out to pull out the sofa bed, we found dirty shoes and chewed dog toys. The beds were good and bathrooms were nice. The house supplied a lot of dishes and cooking supplies. There isn't a ton of outdoor space and The parking is tight especially for big cars. The neighborhood was nice, the HOA rules are a bit strict especially with parking and golf carts. Pools were nice, but soooo hot! Also, there's signs posted in the house about rinsing the sand off before showering, but there is no outdoor shower, except at the pool. Fort Morgan Beach was great.

questions were not answered correctly
very nice place. we enjoyed the pools also. However, would have liked to know that there were water/beach stuff at the property. I asked this and was told they did not have any so we bought some and when we got to property they had a full chest of beach/water stuff. Knowing would have saved us over $40.00. Very frustrating plus I think the property could supply more toilet paper etc. We had to spend money on this as well.

Cozy beach house perfect for our family
We traveled with our two small kids. They loved the bunk bed room. Our beds were comfy as well. We figured out the TV and internet quickly. We loved the lanai area. It created such a pleasant second space for my husband and I or the kids. A short drive from beach and downtown. We had a wonderful time here!

Great Vacation!
The home was clean, comfortable, and perfect for the 7 of us. Close to a beautiful, uncrowded beach, 4 Mike's from a Dollar General (with some fresh fruit and produce!). We will definitely be re-booking here.

Perfect space for our family. Very spacious floor plan. Everything we needed. My hubby and 3 of our kids took my mama for a few days away. She loved the cottage and especially the screened porch. Such a short hop over to the public beach.

A Great Anniversary Getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed this home very much. I was quite remote so if you want to get away this is the way to go. I had some issues with cell phone signal so plan for that if that may be the case for you. Nothing to do with the home of course. Things that could have been better: The bath mats and floors were dirty, I mean dirt and hair sticking to your feet after getting out of the shower. There was obvious hair on the towels showing when they were hanging on the racks. Different types of hair at that. Other than that it was a wonderful and a wonderful stay. I would book again but the floor and towels could use some work. There were movies and games for entertainment as well which was a great touch.

Loved the house...but
The house itself was great! Check-in took forever. We got in late and the code didn't work, had to wait for answer. Took 30 minutes to finally get one that worked all be eaten up by mosquitos. Not knowing the area, it would have been good to know that it was 15 miles from Gulf Shores! Last day we took golf cart out and it died on us fully charged. Takes forever to get response from the service that answers text because its automated. Finally got someone to actually calls us. No extra trash bags in the house and no trash cans close to dispose of it. Like I said we loved the house!

Perfect getaway
We had 8 people in our group and plenty of space for everyone. It was a cute little neighborhood of beach houses and wasn't very crowded. It's a short drive or walk to the beach as well. We loved everything about it except for the beds. Would recommend new mattresses. We definitely recommend this place if you are wanting a laid back vacation!
