Morning Glory did NOT disappoint!

Morning Glory was 100% the right house for our group! The house had everything we needed to accommodate our week. Great space for business retreat, perfect outdoor deck with heated pool and private entrance to ocean. The communication with the owners were perfect. We will be back!

Enough space for everyone

The property was as described and enough space for everyone. The elevator was perfect for moving the luggage in and out. The beach access was wonderful and absolutely recommend the heated pool. Beds were comfortable and having two ice makers, dishwashers and fridges made life easy. Every room had their own en suite which was very important to our group. The hammocks were nice and the chairs and pool toys were a great bonus. Didn't use the grill but it look suitable for a large group. We had a maintenence issue while we were there and the maintenance staff was at the house within the hour after we contacted management. Really appreciated the quick response! Throughout the booking and leading up to the stay management was also quick to respond inquiries. The group agreed we would rent the place again with no hesitation.

Great House for a Large Family Gathering

This was a great beach house for my large family - me and my husband, 7 adult children + spouses, and lots of grandkids. The house was clean, comfortable, and spacious. Couples were grateful to have their own rooms, with nearby double rooms for the kids. Large gathering areas - living room, upstairs den, multiple porches, dining area - and multiple appliances accommodated our large tribe perfectly. We made one service call the evening we arrived due to the upstairs AC not working; a repairman arrived within minutes and quickly fixed the problem. Direct access to the beach was wonderful, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool. Already making plans for a return trip next summer!

Awesome Place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location and the view of the Gulf as well of Little Lagoon are great. House is away from the action but only five minutes to shopping and fine dining. Could not ask for any better. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. Our party of 22 will book this house again when Gulf Shores rolls around on our annual getaway.

The Very Best of EVERYthing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our group of friends (26 adults and 5 kids) stayed the July 4th week at this absolutely perfect home on a large private beach lot. Well maintained, beautifully decorated and equipped, with professional/accessible/responsive owners/management, you won't go wrong booking this home while enjoying The beach. Pool cleaning occurred at least twice during the week. Even when we couldn't locate the foozballs, the management team brought new ones the very next day. Without hesitation, I would recommend this fabulous house (large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms).We will definitely rebook for 2018.

Morning Glory

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second time staying at Morning glory. The location is perfect. We had almost the max number of people staying here and we all fit great and didn’t feel too crowded. We had a few small issues like running out of trash bags (a house this size should come with more if they are being provided) and the trash didn’t get moved to the street as we were told, but the company was very quick to remedy these situations. Many of our guests did feel that the beds were uncomfortable this year and it might be time to replace the mattresses. Overall, we love the house and the location. It is a little further away from all of the condos so you feel like you have the beach to yourselves!

Amazing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We very much enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful! It was very clean. Crazy high ceilings. The bedrooms are great and each has its own bathroom (no need to share). Beautiful views of the ocean. Great shade space outdoors and plenty of sun space also. We loved the pool and the volleyball on the beach. The kitchen is fabulous. VERY well equipped. It’s great having 2 ice makers, 3 dishwashers, 2 full size refrigerators, a bar refrigerator for beverages, 2 stoves and 2 sinks. The upper covered deck is beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about this property. The beach is not crowded. Soooo great. We did make 2 calls with very minor issues and they responded very quickly. The only possible negative comment is that a couple windows have broken seals and need to be repaired but don’t let that stop you from renting this property.

Family Reunion Fun!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were stuck inside due to Tropical Storm Cindy but there was plenty of room for all. Made it bareable. Well stocked kitchen. Almost too well stock, not much room to store food. Beds and bedding were comfortable.Beach is great, no one around. We had a few maintenance issues that were addressed in a timely manor. One was an electrical problem that kept reoccurring but we knew what was wrong so we fixed it. A permanent solution is needed. Getting all the towels in the laundry was not an issue but dishes cleaned and put away is not possible. You need to be on the road by 9 due to traffic. There's no way to make breakfast, eat, clean up with 28 people. Waiting for the dishwasher is unrealisti. You won't go wrong renting Morning Glory.

Not my first stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have previously stayed in this property and unfortunately, it has not been properly maintained. Upon our arrival, the air conditioning on the main level was not operational, and service was not scheduled until the following day, leaving us without air conditioning for nearly 24 hours during which it became quite warm while we prepared meals. Additionally, we encountered evidence of rodents and noticed several insects. I was disappointed that no compensation was offered for these issues. The property requires some basic maintenance, such as repairing holes in the walls, painting, and a thorough cleaning.

Large Church Group

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A group of 12 married couples from church have been coming to Morning Glory since 2019. The layout and amenities fit our needs perfectly. There are always minor issues that come with renting a house but the staff was very quick and cordial to respond. We utilized the complimentary tickets for deep sea fishing, golf and the dolphin cruise. We frequented a number of restaurants but seemed to enjoy The Oyster House the most. Shopping was also top of the list for many. We had a lot of fun, fellowship and sun.

One of the ice makers had an issue but it was repaired . Tracy was very helpful is getting most of the things repaired . We enjoyed the covered space under the house and the covered area by the pool. The weather was great and we had a wonderful week.

Greatest vacation ever

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was blessed to take all of my grown children and their families, my young adult grandchildren and their kids about (33 of us only 2 couldn’t make it). We all had individual bedrooms and plenty of common area. There were two of everything in he kitchen. It was a beautiful home where we created wonderful memories. Everyone was talking about when we could vacation here again. The beaches were beautiful and the home was close to everything. The management was great and helped with anything we needed for my son in a wheelchair. I can’t brag about this house enough! Book it, you’ll fall in love like we did!!

The large main area and outdoor dining spaces were expansive and great for socializing. The elevator made it easy to move luggage to the upper floors. We would absolutely stay here again.

About the host

Why they chose this property

This is one of the last remaining beachfront lots with a large building footprint (courtesy of the previous sprawling house that was swept away by a hurricane some years ago). So this was the opportunity we wouldn't see again, to build another sprawling family reunion home with lots of beachfront bedrooms, a huge great room for gathering, a good-sized pool area and more. We hope you'll love it!

What makes this property unique

Gorgeous mature dunes with sea oats, a great pool just steps from the living room, HUGE custom windows that let you feel you are standing on the beach before you have even stepped on the porch, room for everyone, a handicap accessible bedroom & bath, ...
