Great beach front condo
Check in was super easy with all the info we needed emailed to me a few days before our trip. Unit is a bit small but was clean & comfortable with a breathtaking view. The only negative would be the bed. It was comfortable but very tall. Kinda hard for a short person to get into. Would definitely love to stay there again.

March/Aprill Stay
Had a amazing time, condo very clean and wonderful view. The bed in the bedroom was great, that was the biggest worry we had. Have stayed at other condos in the area and the bed was terrible. The only downside was that construction on the building and surrounding builds were going on and it started every day at 7:30am. There were saws, hammers, beeping sounds and many others sounds. With that going on couldn't really enjoy the peace and quiet in the AM to enjoy the sun rises. Over all the time spent in Fort Morgan was wonderful.

Fall Family Vacay
Just left our stay and although you can’t beat the view, I wish I would have realized how small the place was. (Not their problem, but mine) perfect for a couple to stay in. Our family of 4 was a little cramped though. Pros: great location, amazing views. Cons: they did not leave any extra trash bags for us or enough toilet paper for our 5 day stay, family of 4. (1 roll) having extra on hand would have been nice. Also, I’m not sure on smoking policy at this certain condo but anytime we went on the balcony to enjoy our morning coffee and views, our neighbors were always lighting up and it always smelled awful. Not ideal. I would stay here again if it was just the husband and I and I was looking to stay on a tighter budget. (Not the best I’ve stayed at, not the worst)

Beautiful Gulf-front condo with amazing views!
Great condo facing Gulf with amazing views of sunset on balcony with bar-height chairs & table. Loved having coffee on balcony in morning & wine in the evening. Exactly as described in listing, clean & cozy. Great for a couple or a family with small children. Resort is family friendly with multiple pools & hot tubs (some indoors), & at least one adult-only pool. Condo owner quickly receptive to messages, & allowed an early check in. On-site restaurant a little pricey, but delicious & convenient. All pools, hot tubs, elevators & internet were operational without problems. Well stocked kitchen with combo drip/Keurig coffee maker, toaster, blender, much more. Easy access to beach boardwalk & pool. Plan to return.

Always enjoy our stay here!
This was our 2nd time staying in this condo. It's absolutely perfect for me and my husband. Last year I spent the whole time working, and the wifi held like a champ. This year, I was able to be completely off and enjoy our stay, although the mid-November weather did not play nice. Most of the time, it was way too cold to enjoy the beach, but the view from the balcony and living/dining area of the condo made us feel like we weren't missing anything! It's convenient to lots of fun things to do, including Fort Moragn, the ferry to Dolphin Island, and all the shopping in Gulf Shores/Foley. There's a fabulous mom & pop coffee shop just a few miles down the road (highly recommend!!), and a very nice, new "super" Dollar General even closer in case you forgot something. We don't need the sleepers in the bunk beds, but those make fabulous places to stow coolers and suitcases. I bring a TV tray because there's no nightstand on my side of the bed, but otherwise the condo is perfectly stocked. Love the dual coffee brewer/Kureg! You can literally enjoy the beach view right on the sofa, and the balcony has a lovely view of both the beach and the pool area. We've never had noisy neighbors -- in fact the place is all but empty in Oct-Nov when we usually go. The housekeeping staff does an incredible job. Very generous with towels, bath cloths, etc. The condo is decorated so cute! This is now our favorite beach stay, and we won't even be looking for another place to stay as long as Robert lets us keep coming back!

Wonderful Stay!
We really enjoyed the property and I fell in love with the area. There are just the right amount of amenities in a compact space. Very much appreciate the dual function coffee maker. Pool was great when it was too windy for the beach. Short walk to get to the beach. Carpeted exterior hallways reduce noise. Perfect patio to sit and read all day. Restaurant in neighboring building was really affordable for a tourist area. We barely left the property. Everything we needed was there.

Peaceful retreat away from reality. A great way to reconnect with the family around a great community and an amazing condo. A great place to stay. They should have a list of delivery menus as well as complementary sample coffee, shampoo, and laundry detergent. At least a great place to purchase items. This was our best vacation thus far

About the host

Hosted by Robert Winship

Host profile image
In October of 2015 we rented a condo from our neighbor at the Plantation Resort. We brought our three children and enjoyed not only the beach and complex amenities, but other activities in the area such as deep sea fishing, Dauphin Island Aquarium, the Gulf Shore Zoo, and visiting the Civil War site. We fell in love with the area. Little did we know that we would have the opportunity to purchase and share a condo of our own in the same complex just nine months later. We had made an offer but my husband officially confirmed the purchase as a surprise for me on our 15th wedding anniversary. We live in the St. Charles, Missouri area with our three beautiful children. Robert is in the finance field and I am a high school business education teacher. While we have the business and financial experience to take on this endeavor, our ultimate goal is to provide a relaxing vacation getaway for others. We are so excited for the opportunity to share the condo and Gulf experiences with others. We strive to do everything we can to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

We chose to purchase this property after vacationing in the complex the prior year. We loved the solitude, family atmosphere, privacy, amenities, views, and much more! It is a hidden paradise which gives the Plantation a private resort type feel. When we came across the listing we felt a draw that definitely became stronger after we made the road trip to physically view the unit. We are passionate about spending time together as a family and this is the perfect place to do just that. It gives us pleasure to know that others are bonding in the same way while staying at our condo.
