We stayed here for a ladies retreat and also rebted the house next door. This house was a perfect place to put the older ladies so they could have some peace and quiet. I also stayed in this house. It was very clean and I loved the deck. I opened the door and listened to the waves as I got dressed. So relaxing and quaint. Would definitely recommend.
We had a large family gathering for the holiday, and the Kessler house was perfect! We loved both the covered and exposed decks as well as quick access to the beach. With the Sassy Bass Market and Grill within walking distance, we did not feel that we were missing anything. Quiet and relaxing for all - ages 1 to 74!

Family vacation
Our week at Kessler house was just as hoped. So enjoyed being so close to the water which the grandsons loved. Accommadations were very sufficient for the 7 adults and 3 children. Would definitely consider returning,
This house was exactly as advertised. The kitchen was completely stocked with everything we needed! The location on the beach was great! The beds were very comfortable. It has a nice big deck (wear shoes to avoid splinters) with a perfect view of the gulf. We felt like we had a private beach! It is far enough away from Gulf Shores to feel you are away from the crowd, but not too far from popular restaurants. We will definitely consider staying here again!
We loved the Kessler house. Was right on the beach, clean and spacious. Had everything we needed for a great weeks stay. The deck is getting a little warn, watch out for splinters in your feet. We definitely would go back. A++++ Highly recommended!!!!!
The property was great. It is just a long way from town. I was always accustomed to having the lock code sent to me by email. This time I had to rush to get to rental office to get info before they closed. We were entertained by the Blue Angels one day. That was very exciting.

Fantastic location!
Fort Morgan is the place to be if you want a quiet and less crowded beach vacation. Perfect getaway for couples and adult groups. Overall the house is nice and very roomy. But it needs a thorough cleaning and some repairs. Cookware needs to be replaced and some of the bedding and living room pillows were dirty and stained. Be aware that there are NO “extras” provided. No dish soap, dishwasher detergent, trash bags, paper towels, etc. At this price point, I think a few of these items would be appropriate and much appreciated by guests. But, the location and proximity to the beach can’t be beat

Good not great
The distance from the beach was unbeatable. The house was okay but lacking some basics. You are only provided two towels per room which is not the biggest deal but I would expect more for a long stay. The deck furniture needs updated and you cannot walk on the deck without shoes or you will get a splinter. Every person staying at the house got a splinter within the first two days because the deck needs replaced. Also, when we arrived at our arrival time we were rudely greeted by the cleaning service letting us know it would be another hour before she was done. Although the agency had gave us our code to get in the house.
We did very much enjoy our stay and in general the house was great. Some minor improvements and updates on the deck and I would have given 5 stars.
Beautiful view of the ocean. Very short walk to the private beach. Very clean. Kitchen is Stocked with everything you could ever need... tons of plates, cups, pots and pans, silverware, etc. Will definitely rent again.
House was as listed. Beds comfortable. AC worked very well (which is not always the case in rental units). Everything you could need for cooking was provided. Plenty of chairs on deck. Shade or sun available on deck. We brought our own large fan so were comfortable sitting outside in shade.
Finding the property was not easy. Not marked clearly. So many Reed Real Estate signs stuck everywhere you couldn’t see anything else!
Ice machine didn’t work. A boardwalk over dunes would have been nice but not too much of an issue. Only having one towel per person was a little cheap.
Overall, we were happy with our stay at Kessler House and would stay there again.
Great location & plenty of privacy. The walk to the beach is a bit of a hike but the house does sit on the beach. Great size home. Plenty of parking & room. Dishwasher unable to be used while there & b/c of warranty issues could not get fixed during visit which was a little inconvenient. Mattresses could use replacing. Air ducts and returns need cleaning. Overall a super place to stay. Had a blast.
Very nice home and location, needs a little TLC to be top-notch (older, non-working ice maker; microwave died; GFCI circuits tripping; no working outlets outside). Reed's maintenance personnel were very responsive and helpful.
The location of this house is really excellent. It is right on the beach and in a place where the beach is not at all crowded. The property is nice, but could use some updating . A few minor improvements could really make this place shine.
The Kessler house was a great fit for all of our family. Beach was right out the door practically and secluded. Great experience all in all. Kids were happy and excited to see so much wildlife. Stingrays and sharks. Lynn was very helpful. Would definitely stay again.
Overall the property location was fantastic! The amenities could have been slightly more robust for the price point (for instance the skillets and linens were fairly worn and no paper towels were provided). The deck is a little worn, one of our party got a splinter and a few nails are popped up. There were lots of kitchen appliances and plates/ mugs etc. A few small updates would go a long way, but overall we loved our stay! Someone in our party had to work remotely and the desk in the upstairs bedroom was a lifesaver!
Would recommend to anybody looking to get away.
House was as advertised. Proximity to the beach couldn’t be beat. Property manager was very responsive; had a minor hiccup with the heating during the below-freezing cold snap while we were there but someone was out and had it fixed up very quickly. Only minor detraction is having to check in at the rental office (even though it’s very close) instead of having key code emailed or texted to us ahead of time.
The property is as billed in the description. The view was amazing. You walk out the front door and it’s about 100-150 yard walk to the water. The kitchen and family room provided a perfect space for us all to hangout..,.that is when we were not hanging out on the beach or deck. The location is a bit away from all the commercial businesses...but that was good with us. We truly felt like we had our own private beach at times. I can only say a couple of not so positive things...make sure to take bath towels and kitchen towels unless you want to do the laundry everyday. They did not provide very many at all. I could have sworn they said beach towels were provided as well...but that wasn’t the case. Thats a solid vacation if those are my only issues! We would definitely go back!
We enjoyed our week at the Kessler House. The ice maker did not work, but we just bought ice. We loved how close the house was to the beach and not having to walk over big dunes. It was perfect for toddlers! There is a charcoal grill downstairs in the storage room that is not advertised, so don’t go buy one like we did!

Amazing!!
Kessler House was beautifully maintained, stocked well, and perfectly located! We had a wonderful experience and would love to come back. The only thing that would have made it better would be having at least one king size bed. That fact though doesn’t reduce their rating.
