Good property

The property is very good. The unit was a bit outdated. Ceiling peeling in shower. Needs to be repainted. Needs more cooking pans etc. That being said it was functional. Love the availability of hot tubs and pools.

Vacay 2024

We loved that the place was so close to the beach. Location was great. The beds were nice slept good. The only things that need changed is the fridge and the dining set. Better seats on the deck would be a plus. But other then that we had a great time and would book again.

Beach Family Vacation

The resort/ property was exactly as listed. The condo was spacious enough for our family of four. The bathrooms & kitchen were well equipped. The beds were comfortable. Family room had ample seating. Balcony allowed a beach view. Easy access to beach that wasn’t overcrowded & away from tourists areas. The owner was quick to reply to any questions. Thank you for our stay and sharing your piece of paradise.

Needs updates

The property is in a great location. Condo needs serious updates. Rust on appliances, oven door was broken. Furniture is broken. Tv in the bedroom didn’t work. AC went out our first morning there but it was promptly fixed. Communication with host was good. A lot of things need to be fixed and updated.

Overall great stay!

This was our second time to stay at this unit! We love the two large pools and very beautiful courtyard. The condo itself is just as pictured and described. The only issues we had was the mater bedroom tv didn’t work but we didn’t have much time to watch tv anyways and there wasn’t any outdoor furniture on the balcony. The walk to the beach is not bad at all! Would definitely recommend for a small family and we would definitely stay again if we come back to the area! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful condo with us!

Affordable, close to beach

There was a lot of rust and dust but it was an affordable beach front rental. Everything was in working order. Expect to pay parking fee at security entrance. Indoor pool card was available in kitchen. Pots and pans were limited and old. No pot holders and a basic coffee pot provided . The front door is definitively ajar and cracked down the inside of edge, and you could probably slide a card down and open the door to the room. We had to call the owner for Wi-Fi password. There was a few handwritten notes for checkout and one email with directions to rental but other than that there was not a ton of information as I’ve seen with other rentals in this area. There could be more information pertaining to the site amenities as we’ve stayed in other rentals here. I would not stay here again.

A fantastic week

We have never stayed at Fort Morgan but will definitely come back. It's beautiful and quiet compared to other beaches. The Plantations is a great resort with multiple pools, hot tubs, an on-site restaurant/bar and nowhere ever seemed crowded or loud. Beaches were clean and beautiful. The condo itself has everything you need and was nice. The condo owner was very accommodating when we needed to change the date of our stay and also very patient when I called him once we arrived with a question. Some minor things are a little dated as said in some other reviews, but nothing major. A great stay, thank you!

Nice location but very outdated

Overall, the location was great for our family. The balcony had a nice view, but most of the chairs were broken so we couldn’t all enjoy it. As soon as we walked in the condo, the smell was overpowering. It had a very musty smell mixed with stale smoke. We tried to get rid of the smell, but it was impossible. The pots, pans, and dishes were dirty. We washed everything before we used them, but some were so old/rusted/scratched I didn’t feel comfortable using them. The comforters were very old and looked dirty, one even had a hole in the side where the stuffing was coming out. I understand the condo’s price is very reasonable for the location, but clearly we found out why.

Nice stay

It was a nice plce to stay with easy access to the beach. There were a couple of questions, well mainly the door. I do believe in other reviews it is mentioned, but at some point the door was kicked in or busted in and really should be fixed. Other than that it was very nice. The beds were nice and not hard to sleep in and the furniture was comfortable as well. The beach at the location is great for families due to it not being over populated. It alson is only a 12-15 min drive to the more touristy area; famliy food games, and entertainment.

Family Getaway

The resort property is beautiful and perfectly maintained. The communication with the condo owner was disappointing as we were told we could have access to the condo at 4pm but upon arrival found the unit had not been cleaned. Apparently there was an agreement for a late check out for the earlier guests and we weren't told that our access to the unit would be delayed by 90 min.

Great location. Unit needs updating!

We love staying at this location and have stayed in several different units and buildings. It of all the units we have stayed at on the Kiva Dunes property, this one appeared the oldest and had the most small inconveniences. Some examples that need to have attention: The cooking pans are all in horrible shape. They are unusable and rusted. We could not cook in those and had to make due with other cookware. The cabinets and drawers have tape that is peeling off and catch on clothing and other items. The water pressure in the kitchen is very low. Easier to get water from the sink in the bathroom. The shower faucet leaks horribly and the water leaking is HOT! I squealed loud enough for the family to hear while showering several times. And... the beds in the room with multiple beds were not comfortable. However, the main bed that my parents stayed on was great. Again the location is amazing and the pools, hot tub, parking, property manager, and laundry was all great. The unit needs updating and it will be back to great. Thanks for great memories. We will be back.

Good - BUT with a few "fixes" could be GREAT!

We loved the location at Gulf Shores Plantation- however, a few fixes would make this property great. 1.The deadbolt on door does not work - not that we felt unsafe, but it would be reassuring to most to have that fixed, even a chain lock would help. 2. We had issues with water pressure in kitchen-bathrooms were fine, but at most, we'd get a little stream of water so I usually filled pitcher of hot water from bathroom and filled kitchen sink for dishes. Perhaps a new faucet would fix that. (I'm thinking now we should have contacted maintenance, but we just dealt with it). 3. Refrigerator is really rusty on outside - maybe a can of appliance paint would cover it and make it look better. 4. We did spend a few hours on a rainy day on our hands and knees scrubbing the ceramic tile - mostly around the edges near the walls and in bathrooms! I understand that cleaning services do not have/take the time to do this - BUT it should be done and we loved having clean floors. (I did take before and after pics .... but maybe I'm OCD about cleanliness). 4. Some of the kitchen items need replacing - we went to WalMart and bought a new fry pan, cookie sheet, and potholders (there were none). Overall, our stay was just fine, the furniture/beds were great, quiet location, beautiful grounds, and the beach was awesome. We are not fussy people, and we hate to be complainers, but these minor fixes would make this unit really nice! Would I recommend this unit, ABSOLUTELY - hopefully these minor fixes will be taken care of and you will have a great time!!

Hi Mr. McMullen, our stay has been great and would love to stay at you condo again, but the following text will make you aware of why I would consider not renting again, we were provided with seven towels, and wash clothes along with 4 hand towels I believe between six people staying for 5 nights and Thursday morning, one dish clothe. I would like to see more made availible. Sending a second and possibly a third text with attached pictures my main concern is the front door, the bolt lock does not work at all, the lack that keeps the door secure has one screw that could be removed by hand the door facing is split as though someone has kicked the door in in the past and has been painted over it, our safety and your others safety is my biggest concern, there is a musty, smoky smell, and none of us smoke, the pictures I send will probably show where part of the smell comes from. There was mold on the shower curtains, and toilet brushes, there was blk mold on every air vent, and on the ceilings in front of vents, there was also no tub stoppers in order to bathe the kids so a wash cloth was used , which meant less to bath with.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff or Olga McMullen

We live in Athens, Alabama, near Huntsville, where I work on Redstone Arsenal. We have lived in the Huntsville, Alabama area for about 3 years. We lived for many years in Germany before that and are both multi-lingual. As of 18 January 2015, we are back in Germany, living in Wiesbaden.

Why they chose this property

My father is from the Gulf Coast of Alabama and I have been vacationing in Gulf Shores my whole life since I was a tyke the early 60s. I have been to beaches all over the world and these are among the nicest I know of anywhere. Fort Morgan is a special place and the Gulf Shores Plantation Resort offered us everything we wanted right there in one place, where we wanted it, Fort Morgan. The beaches at the resort are fabulous- white sand, beautiful water, herons that walk right by you, pelicans, and wide open pristine beaches.

What makes this property unique

Peace and quiet, pleasant nature, relaxation in a beautiful setting but near the action if you want it.
