Nice cottage, but watch out for roaches
We really enjoyed our weekend in Fort Morgan. The cottage is nice and we loved the pool. There were fruit flies and sugar ants in the kitchen, which didn’t bother us that much. The problem we had was the German cockroaches that lived in the master bathroom. I first noticed one on the ceiling as I was taking a shower. After I got out I started noticing multiple of them on the floor, under the rug, on the wall decor. I took videos and let the property manager know that we were having a problem and I was told that they were sorry and they couldn’t get a pest company out there on the weekend and Labor Day. The longer we stayed, the bigger they got. Also, the internet did not work at all. We tried everything but there was no internet connection. Outside of these things, we did enjoy our weekend.

Wonderful!
This condo was perfect! Plenty of room for everyone, clean and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen for cooking whatever you want. Very short walk to the pool also. Beach access is less than a 5 minute drive away. Fort Morgan is about a 10-15 minute drive. The beaches are amazing, beautiful white sand and warm ocean water. The property managers were great, quick to respond to any issues and so friendly. We loved staying here!!

Great place to stay next to a beautiful beach.
Our family had a great time with friends here at the beach. The home was clean and management very responsive to any needs. The pool and hot tub were an added benefit the kids/teenagers loved. Only downsides were that the internet was super slow, but we didn't really need it. We were there on vacation to disconnect. Additionally, I understand that they are installing high speed internet in the neighborhood, so the future will likely be better. Another annoyance was that there were lots of small, biting flies. Late one night though, it looked like there was a truck driving around spraying a mosquito fog. Overall, our stay was really great. Would stay here again.

Overall, a great stay
First, let me say, it looks exactly like the pictures. It’s really nice. Some crumbs in the pullout and the silverware drawer but still pretty clean. Really pretty place and nice neighbors. Yes, there are alligators in the pond!!! Second, where the review says “bad WiFi?” Yeah. That’s true. Two of my group were struggling to complete their online coursework but this was the case even using cell phone data so I think it’s just the location. We drove into Gulf Shores (15 minutes) a lot to get the homework done. Third, our dryer quit on Friday. Not much to do about that - it happens - I just hope I don’t get charged for any towels I couldn’t wash with bleach, bc they said no makeup marks. I travelled with two sixteen year old girls, so there was makeup. The pool area was nice, although we only used it one night. There no see’ums were wicked so the screen porch was awesome! The frogs really serenade you. There is a marshy area behind the house and they were loud, in a good way. If you plan on using the sleeper sofa, request bedding. We were one blanket short of a fully stocked home. The beach was walkable for me but probably not for the kids. It was a beautiful beach. Overall, it was a great stay at a reasonable price. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Xmas at the beach
I enjoyed my stay there. It was quiet and mostly clean. It isn’t a short walk to the beach but it was well worth it. It is true what they say the Internet, well what Internet . Which was a good thing it gave us time to interact as a family. I recommend this place as a place to stay if you are not there to party and but jut relax. Overall it was a good experience.

Beautiful beaches nice location
The property, home, pool and location are nice. The beach is beautiful and less occupied. This was our third visit to the area. Floors were little dirty, only one hand towel was provided, dust pan was broke and no mop. The biggest issue we had was with the rental company not being in compliance of the lease agreement that stated internet access provided. I emailed, called, texted. They reached out to me, only because I contacted the owner or at least the information hanging on the bulletin board to contact. Come to find out that was the previous owner, advised me they sold the property in March. Needless to say we never received internet which was part of our signed lease. The rental company texted me back asking what part of the agreement I was referring to. Hmm really it’s your lease how do you not know what’s in your lease?? I sent a copy and stated it’s the portion that says internet access connect to xxxx with password xxx. It was an inconvenience and our AT&T service was not good.

This property was very small. The location is great for just wanting to go to the beach. Their is a 30 minute average drive to any attractions or stores. We had 10 and it was very crowed. The pool was dirty and a lot of bugs constantly. Hard to enjoy the pool. The pool area needs umbrellas.

Very Relaxing!
Our stay was amazing! I gave it 5 stars and would definitely stay there again. The walk to the pool is very short, and the walk to the beach is not bad either, although we did drive most of the time because there are no public restrooms and when you gotta go, you gotta go. The house is very comfortable and is equipped with just about everything you would need, with a few exceptions. There are pots but they're all non-stick and did not appear to be very new. I personally don't like to cook on that type of cookware especially if they're scratched as these appeared to be. That is a relatively cheap thing to replace and should be done annually, with a stainless steel option. The other issue was that there are no food storage containers, so if you cook there is no place to store left-overs. Again, a relatively inexpensive thing to replace and also could be done annually. Other than that this is an awesome property and I would recommend it to anyone.

Quiet, not over crowded, close to beach, private community pool and a beautiful condo
My husband and our two children, now 10 & 11yrs old, have been staying in The Rookery for many yrs. Since our children were wearing blow up arm bands in the pool. We love the neighborhood. Private pool for Rookery guests that's a comfortable size. Close to the beach, the Fort, Gulf Shores and good food, but if you're like us and the busy scene isn't for you try this out. This unit is beautifully decorated with comfortable furnishings. Everything you need in the kitchen to cook, if you choose, with nice appliances. They even have a roku, I got to watch my shows! The management company is quick to respond if you have any issues. Plenty of hot water for showers and the air conditioning works great. I love getting up in the morning, while we have it still cold in the house, and sitting outside with my coffee to warm up. Of course having a screened porch makes all the difference with that experience. I had coffee one morning with a baby gator close by, The Rookery is in a nature reserve, so there is plenty of wildlife around. You'll definitely want to come back, we do!
