Love Ft Morgan!

This was our 8th trip to Ft Morgan, our first to this property. We’ve stayed in everything from a condo to a 5BR on the beach. It’s all great. This house had everything we needed. Steps to the beach, a pool, room for all. The teen boys spent post beach time in the hall bunks which made us laugh. One thing we really loved was the front porch with morning and afternoon sun and the back porch with evening sun and a view of the bay. Absolutely gorgeous. If you come to Ft Morgan, stop at Walmart on 59 and get your supplies. Bring liquor from home because Alabama is not cheap. This house is 20 miles from Walmart but there is a Dollar General grocery about 10 miles away. Don’t expect a lot of go carts, ice cream parlors, or restaurants. The joy of this area is nature and family.

Pleasant Stay

Home was nice and cute community close to the beach. I only wish there was a hot tub in pool area for an option when gulf and pools are way to cold to enjoy.

JUST OKAY

Great location. Everything in the house was dated. Seemed they put everything that was handed down in this unit. It was clean, they just need to spend some money on updating.

Cleanliness

The bedroom off to the left had dirty sheets. That bathroom had a used wash cloth in the sink with open used soaps on the sink. Urine in a toilet in a different bathroom. A man showed up at the front door around 930 pm the 1st night we was there. He said he was the cleaning service and had been on vacation and he was not sure if the house had been cleaned. So there for we have no idea just how clean it really was. Only booked with evolve because of a credit from 2020 that was refused to be given back due to covid. They would not let us come to the house at that time. I will never use evolve again. The area where the house is located and quite. Very close to the ocean.

Difficult start, but great ending

Check in was hard. House not cleaned by 4:00 check in, but owner contacted housekeeping and they responded right away and did an excellent job. Very friendly and professional. Home was comfortable but AC in living area was not good. AC set on 70 and living area never got below 73/74. Uncomfortably hot. However, the bedrooms were fine. We kept the doors closed and ceiling fans on. Location is very isolated which is good, just a long drive to restaurants and activities. Overall a great stay! Thanks so much!

Bittersweet

Fully stocked kitchen had some items in disrepair and some general items missing. You have to bring your own toilet paper and trash bags were missing too. Absolutely no sleeping on the couch is a listed rule. These are minor details, but gave the stay a bitter taste, like we weren't really welcome, but otherwise the house is nice and the location is good. If they can update some of the kitchen utensils and give that sense of welcome, this property would be perfect.

Friend/Momcation

The house was as listed and pictured accurately. Other reviews mentioned the beds were uncomfortable. I only slept in one (the master), and I agree it wasn't comfortable due to how firm it is, however I did not wake with back pain. If you like firm mattresses, you'll love it! The refrigerator gave us problems. When we got there, the refrigerator had a patch of condensation on the freezer door under the ice dispenser. This right away gave me pause. It was difficult to open the door because it was frozen shut with frost at the dispenser. It was extremely difficult to get it to dispense ice at all because the path was blocked with frost build-up. I did not contact anyone about this because who wants to take time out to handle repairs on vacation? But it cooled just fine on both the freezer and refrigerator sides. I should have brought my fire stick, because the channels provided by the antenna offered little for the children (not that they spent much time watching TV). The only REAL disappointment was with the community pool. It closed at 8:00 instead of 10:00 because the lights were out and one of the pools was roped off altogether. The man who told us we had to leave said the lights had been out all summer. I personally find that unacceptable and this issue needs to be resolved. My son was burned the first day so swimming after dark would have greatly enhanced his stay. The maintenance on the exterior of the homes also needs improvement. I have been staying in this community for around 15 years (we usually stay in The Beach Castle, but I had fewer guests this time) and I can see that things are not what they were. My adult children grew up coming here and I hope to continue that tradition with my 10 year old and future grandchildren. In addition to that, the friends I brought this time usually stay at orange beach in a high occupancy condo complex and fell in love with this community, the less densely populated beach that provided ease of watching their children, and the water was SO clear and pretty that it was blue/green this trip. So I hope something is done with property exterior maintenance in the community as a whole because I adore this hidden gem of a community and hope to continue staying here in the future with guests.

Had to leave early because of Hurricane

Overall stay was ok. Had great family time with our kids and grandkids. Reason for the 3 stars, is all beds were uncomfortable. The master bed sink in the middle, so I woke up every day with backaches. One of the queen beds were hard. The worst thing was the freezer did not get cold. We list alot of meat because of it! House was clean and well kept.

nice area good beach vacation

the house was nice but not new. it is 3 blocks to the beach and a block from the pool. there is no where to park at the beach or pool so walking is it. there is only 3 bedrooms plus 2 twin beds in a closet in the hallway. It worked for the 9 of us. My teenage son and his friend liked to closet beds go figure. The beach was busy and rental companies left tents up everywhere for rent. Would have preferred a gated community with a private beach -thought this was. The pools were hot and not very busy. About 25 miles to town Gulf Shores, Went to eat at Tacky Jacks and LuLu's both were ok LuLu no ac. Would recommend the area.
