Our week at Navy Cove - July 2011

Our family had a wonderful time staying at Navy Cove. Condo looked just like the photos. We enjoyed the view from our patio, watching fish jump, pelicans fish and boats going in and out. Beach was great! We simply drove across the street set up our chairs and left them all week until time to go. Owner was great about providing information on nearby stores, shops and restraurants. Would definately recommended this condo and plan to return.

Owner response:Thank you Cindy! Hope to see you next year!

We took a family vacation down to Fort Morgan, and enjoyed every minute of it. The condo was great and had everything, (all you need is groceries and clothes) :) The owner was very accommodating and easy to work with. She even called us when we checked in to make sure everything was okay. The price was very affordable, and the gulf was minutes walk across the street. Our kids loved to play in the sand, or spend time at the pool. Will definitely recommend to family and friends, and probably be back again for another family vacation!!!!

I have stayed in this condo before, and each time it seems to be better. This is a place stay with a great owner to work with, very accommodating. So, if you're looking for an extremely nice 3 bedroom 2 bath condo in the Fort Morgan area, you owe it to yourself to check this one out. You won't dissapointed.

Owner response:Thank you very much and we hope to see you again next year!

Tranquility Bay is a winner

Guest: Tom & Bonnie (United States)
Date of Stay: 11/01/10 Review Submitted: 04/09/11

After several years of winter trips to Gulf Shores, we have found the perfect home away from home. The view is magnificent, not only for the bay but especially the wild life preserve to the east. We found there was every thing we could need while still being a 'beach vacation" rental. We felt immediately 'at home'. The owners are wonderful to work with. We plan to return. Wilcoxs

Owner response:Bonnie and Tom! Hope to see you again in the winter!

Mid Summer Beach Trip 2011

Guest: Michael BTR (Baton Rouge)
Date of Stay: 09/26/10 Review Submitted: 09/22/11

We had an incredible time! This is the first time we stayed all the way on the west side of the penisula in Fort Morgan. Actually we liked it MUCH better than the more crowed and rowdy Gulf Shores end. I have two young boys 8 and 12yrs and they had a blast! Idalia has this property well equipped for a family of young to teenage children. There are beach toys, buckets, paddle balls, beach chairs, beach towels, and even jelly fish sting kits under the kitchen sink. Yes we had to use one of them for a slight stink but it was in a plastic carboy and we brought it to the beach just in case. You simply are asked to replace the items you have used from baking soda, to vinegar, to saline solution. Very handy! She also has many things labelled and described for your convenience in the kitchen and in the washer and drier area. There are even night lights for the kids rooms, bathroom, and hall way. She seems to have included the little things that families typically forget. Being it was the first time to this property I did not bring my boat, but the slip and pier area is very nice with access to the bay side waterway. There is even a fish cleaning station with running water! She has a couple crab traps out by her slip and we put some hot dogs in there one night with the kids. The next morning the hot dogs were gone, but there were a few fish in there too. They thought it was great! We let the small fish go! Since there is not much on the west side you ought to stop at a grocery store before getting there to stock up on the food and drinks for your stay. Don't want to waste a 20-30 ride back to Gulf Shores to find a super market! Granted there is a marina just a couple miles west of the property that has some basics regarding food/drinks etc. but is not stocked to fill out your week in the kitchen! If you are coming in from the west, take the time to ride the ferry across the bay. We tried but the ferry ended up being close or was too full on the last run of the evening so we had to drive all the way around through Mobile and down to Gulf Shores and west again to Fort Morgan! Note to self: don't try to hit the last ferry of the day... get there earlier. Ferry schedules and fees can be found on line. They also give a phone number to call to check status of the launches. Idalia was very prompt and complete when communicating via email and followed up with me when she sent the deposit check back to make sure I got it. Thanks!

Owner response:Thank you so much Paul! I am glad you enjoyed your stay!

One of the Best

Living in Mobile I have stayed at numerous condos from Orange Beach to Ft Morgan. This unit met and exceeded all my expectations. I would recommend this fully furnished condo to anyone wanting the best of both worlds, Mobile Bay "Great Fishing" and Gulf of Mexico. Idalia has done everything to make your stay as at home and comfortable as possible.

This place is great. You almost don't even need to pack. The condo is very nice, and I definitely recommend you stay here. If you like to fish this is the place for you. You cannot find a more convenient spot to stay!

This condo surprisingly accommodates two young families just right! The small children shared the cozy bunk room. The adults enjoyed big comfy beds and all was very clean. We loved the "private" beach on the bay - even moreso than the gulf beach. The pool was an added bonus and we practically lived in it. It was also a treat to see so many folks enjoy fishing from the dock or on their boats. This vacation rental is very affordable for the amenities provided. I highly recommend it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at Navy Cove. Perfectly situated between the bay and the gulf, we enjoyed fishing, swimming, catching (and releasing) hermit crabs, and nature walks in the state park next door. The apartment is lovely and set up with absolutely everything we needed - beach chairs to fishing poles to beach towels. A wonderful, memorable vacation!

She also went so far as to send you a list of the items so you could pack accordingly. Above and beyond customer service!! We didnt want to leave and cannot wait to come back! On a scale of 1 to 10, We would give it a 15!!! Thank you Idalia!!

Everything was perfect with our trip. The condo is very nice and we did not want for anything. Navy Cove is great for fishing and playing on the beach. You will not find better especially for the price. We look forward to coming back soon.

Our three nights at Navy Cove was exceptional. The condominium was fully appointed - just like being at home. I do not think anyone will find a better value in Ft. Morgan or in Gulf Shores. The beach was perfect, the amenities were numerous and the overall experience was exceptional. We are looking forward to our next stay...Book with confidence.

We just returned after staying at your place, and I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful & spiritually rejuvenating place you have there on the water. It was heavenly. Your apartment is beautiful and fantastically appointed. We wanted for nothing. We were looking for a peaceful retreat on the water and this is exactly what we got. We really enjoyed ourselves and look forward to renting from you again in a couple of months!
