We own a condo in Fort Morgan, but needed a larger unit for this trip. I was nervous that after knowing what to expect at our own condo, I would not be happy. I WAS PLEASANTLY surprised!! This unit has more than enough space - the bedrooms were perfect for our family! The beds were comfortable and the outdoor furniture was great! I sat on my 'perch' every morning with my coffee and every evening to watch the sunset. The kitchen has everything you need, the furniture is comfortable, and the cleaning service even left towel animals for our arrival. The condo is exactly as described and the pictures are current. Judy was extremely accomodating and the deposit was returned promptly. You will NOT be disappointed with this condo!

Our Families Favorite Destination -- The Beach Club

Guest: Kim (Minnesota)
Date of Stay: 03/24/12 Review Submitted: 04/09/12

This unit was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The owners thought of all the right extrasf to make our stay fantastic. The property was very clean and well maintained. This is our 10th trip to the Beach Club and would definately rent this unit again. The owners were helpful and always answered our questions timely. If you have never stayed at the Beach Club, I would highly recommend it. We love all the amenities that are included (swimming pools, tennis courts, beach, grocery store, ice cream and coffee shop, restaurant and gift shop) plus the fact that the resort is off the beaten path. Our teenagers find plenty to do and if you have younger children there are lots of activities as well. You would not have to leave the resort if you didn't want too. The restaurant is very good and reasonably priced. As well as the Market, and gift shop. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and lush. The service is always friendly and helpful. But, if you want to venture out, there are plenty of activities for the whole family to enjoy in the area. This is our favorite vacation destination for our whole family.

Wonderful says it all

We stayed in this 3-bedroom unit in January and found it to be a perfect place to forget about the snow and the list of projects to do at home. The unit is beautifully decorated, excellently maintained and a good value for a short stay. We'd recommend it highly--and have to several friends. It is a 15-minute drive from the many activities of Gulf Shores, so if you need quick access to go-karts and miniature golf this may not be your cup of tea. But if you enjoy a more quiet, relaxing place to walk the white sand beach, enjoy sunrise/sunset, read a book on the balcony, etc., you'll enjoy your stay here. We did not take advantage of the club house; although we would have liked to use the indoor pool since it was too cold to swim outside, we didn't think the amenities were worth the $20 daily charge.

Girls Fun Weekend

Guest: Lottie (Hueytown, AL)
Date of Stay: 10/13/11 Review Submitted: 10/18/11

What a perfect place for five long-time girls friends to have a great escape. The place was lovely, clean, well-furnished, and everything worked! When we booked, we didn't realize the Gulf Shores Shrimp Festival was the same weekend. But after a hot afternoon at the Festival, it was so nice to go back to the peace and quiet of Fort Morgan. Everything in the condo was first class - even the balcony furnishings were plush. And, we really appreciated the notebook with detailed information on how to work the TV/VCR, sites to see, etc. We definitely plan to stay here again - besides we left a favorite lasagna pan we hope to retrieve! We highly recommend this beautiful condo.

Our stay at the Beach Club this past summer/fall was awesome, as always! This condo is perfect for what we need and the owners are terrific to work with. My mom who is disabled, enjoyed the recliner while looking out to the ocean; all condos should have a recliner. While there, my brother had to do a little business work and using his computer was no problem, while also enjoying the views. Perfect stay. Loved going in the late summer/early fall. Fun!

Outstanding Beach Vacation!!

My husband and I have share this condo with our daughter and her husband on 2 different occasions and each time it has been a wonderful experience. The photos clearly reflect the units' appearance and the owners have been great to work with. They take excellent care of the condo - furnishings are regularly updated and everything is always in tip top condition. We spend hours on the balcony, having meals, playing cards and just watching the ocean. The owners have thought of everything to make their guests' stay comfortable. From the thorough instructions we receive before we leave home to the large notebook that contains information on anything you might have a question about - how the appliances work - who to call if a problem arises - all kinds of info on local restaurants and activities - everything reflects the owners efforts to be sure our stay is as comfortable as possible. The Beach Club is a beautiful and relaxing retreat - very well cared for -and every employee we encountered was very polite and helpful. We have recommended this VRBO to a number of our friends and can assure anyone who is interested that you will not be disappointed. We look forward to coming back again!

Absolutely Perfect Vacation!

Date of Stay: 08/13/11 Review Submitted: 09/18/11

My husband and I took our four children to this beautiful resort the last week of summer break (8/13-8/20) this year. The condo was perfect for our family... plenty of space, CLEAN, updated furnishings and decor, extra linens, functional appliances, with which we were able to prepare most of our meals, great washer/dryer... I could go on and on! The best feature in this condo is, without a doubt, the amazing balcony with the most breathtaking view imaginable!!! Along with this view, we enjoyed our meals on the nice outdoor dining set, dolphin watching nearly everyday, and relaxing evenings (after loooong days on the spectacular beach) on the comfy lounge chairs and loveseats. Though we didn't take advantage of many resort amenities, the Bristol pool was wonderful! Our older kids loved it, and we couldn't pull our 2 year-old away from the kiddie pool. The resort is wonderfully secluded, which we loved, but only 10 miles away from a Wal-Mart Supercenter and Bruno's Grocery. There is also onsite convenience shopping, as well as a great dine-in/takeout restaurant at the Village Market and Grill. The owners of this condo provide a large binder full of information about local restaurants, etc. which was very helpful. After years of searching for our perfect family vacation spot, we have found it here at the Beach Club! We plan to return year after year!

Beautiful Condo with spectacular views! Although the weather was chilly, it was very relaxing and the fireworks display was the BEST! The Beach Club has beautiful landscaping and the condo was decorated with exquisite taste! The Bristol Building on the 10th floor was great! We stayed for a week and didn't want to leave! We will definitely visit again, the owners were very helpful and informative!

Beautiful and Comfortable Condo

Guest: Fun in the sun (Tennessee)
Date of Stay: 08/24/10 Review Submitted: 09/12/10

This condo is very nicely decorated. and quite comfortable. Love the recliner in the living room.! Some of the things I look for include, room darkening curtains in the bedrooms and a nicely furnished kitchen as we do breakfast and lunch in the condo. This condo definately met my expecations. We have been staying at the beach club more than 10 years now and this condo is one of the nicest yet. They even had a coffee grinder in the kitchen! Instant hint with dear husband who likes his coffee beans:) I love the tile floors and the condo was spic and span! The balcony had the nicest fiurniture I have ever had in a rental and was pleasant for drinking our morning coffee and reading. The owners seemed to think of everything even down to neat hanging racks for putting your beach bag just inside the entry door and your cover ups etc. Also, the bathroom had over the door racks as well. It's the little things... Definately will be trying to get this unit again!

Great family getaway - a treat for grown ups and kids!!

Guest: midwest sun and sand lover (Middleton, WI USA)
Date of Stay: 03/20/10 Review Submitted: 03/28/10

Beach Club was just as pictured and described - a very comfortable resort with plenty of room to relax inside, gorgeous views from the balcony of the pools, hot tubs and the Gulf. We were even able to watch dolphins from the balcony and the beach!! What a treat, especially after our dolphin and nature cruise with Cetacean Cruises - an educational experience and a beautiful way to spend a couple of hours. Coupons from the cruise encouraged us to try Brusters (fabulous ice cream) and The Original Oyster House (best meal of our entire trip).......LuLu's (sister of Jimmy Buffet) was another good spot for the food and atmosphere and, Moe's BBQ was the best barbeque we have ever had - three teenage boys will back me up on this. Alligator Alley (suggested by the Cetacean Cruise staff) is an interesting place to go to see alligators, learn about them and even hold one! I don't know about you, but it is not something we do every day! Walks on the beach are peaceful morning, noon and night. Pelicans fly by, egrets and cranes grace the property and surrounding areas. Grocery stores are close but would advise making liquor purchases in any other state. Also, no sign of recycling anywhere - would be nice to feel like we are helping the planet after enjoying so much nature and beautiful surroundings. Just a small thing....... Day trips are plentiful - New Orleans, Pensacola, State Parks and much more. This is a destination that can be your whole vacation or a wonderful place to start and end each day of your adventure. Pack a bag and be ready to relax!!

We had a wonderful stay! The condo was absolutely beautiful, comfy, and the deck was awesome! The grounds at the beach club are beautiful. This was more like a resort stay and we loved it. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Will we rent this condo again? Absolutely!!! I am looking forward to going back next year.

What a great place to spend a week! High quality, great family atmosphere, terrific for biking, very well-stocked kitchen, absolutely gorgeous view, lots of activities available on site - either included or at very reasonable cost, comfy beds for good nights' sleep, relaxing jacuzzi bathtub, large balcony - furnished like another room, and always the wonderful sounds of the ocean ....Really, I could go on and on. We loved it; we're going back!... Lord willin' and the creek don't rise...
