  Just returned from our stay at The Rookery III in Fort Morgan, AL. We had a great time and really can't say enough about how awesome this condo is. If you like a quiet, peaceful vacation, then this is the place for you. This condo is in a development where the condos are not right on top of one another. Instead you have some room to breathe. The development is quiet and clean. The pool was very nice and right outside our door! The condo itself is clean and spacious. It has plenty of room for at least 6 people. The owners were very informative and provided excellent instructions. I am already looking forward to a return visit.

  We recently stayed at the rookery Saturday through Monday nights. We were SO impressed! Everything was exactly as described, except better. The home was beautiful and perfect for our family. The screened porch was great and having the pool right outside the back door was amazing. We will recommend this home to family and friends!! The owners emailed us all the information we needed and the house was equipped with everything we needed and more!!

  We only had a couple of nights to spend at the beach and we were so happy to find this place available! The cabin is clean with plenty of room and comfortable beds. It is only a short drive to the beach, which was very secluded. Fort Morgan is a breath of fresh air compared to the crowded beaches of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. The pool is just behind the cabin and was very inviting. The kids loved staying at this house! If you are traveling with kids, get some nets and flashlights and take them crab hunting on the beach at night. Too much fun! The only regret on this trip was not having more time to stay. Will definitely be back!

  I really don't have any complaints. The beds were comfortable. The screened porch was nice and overlooks the pool (which never got noisy, by the way). Plenty of dishes for our use and the kitchen overall was above average. Only substandard item was a sticky shower door in the guest bath. The rental company was very easy to work with. Highly recommend.

  This was our first time to visit the Fort Morgan area and our stay at the Rookery III was fabulous. At about 14 miles from Gulf Shores, it is a little off the beaten path but if you are looking for relaxation, it is well worth it and the drive out Hwy 180 is very nice. We found everything to be exactly as described in the listing, surprisingly (in my opinion) even better than described. The picture you see is the actual unit, however the house is much larger than it appears and is perfectly situated right next to the pool. The house is obviously quite new (even smells new), well maintained, very spacious and comfortable. We are very picky about cleanliness, but this place was spotless when we arrived. The kitchen is very large and well equipped with everything you will need and there is a dining area for 6. The living room area was very comfortable with a nice large flat screen tv (flat screens in the bedrooms too) although we didn't find much time to watch tv. Two of the bedrooms have king size beds, and the third bedroom has two twin beds. The screened in porch was great for relaxing evenings by the pool as well (for those with young kids and concerns about being so near the pool, the pool is fenced and there is no direct access to the pool from the house, you must walk around to enter the gate from the other side- very safe, but convenient). With a sloping entrance to the very large pool, and a separate children's pool, it is great for small kids and seniors too. The bottom line is that it was very comfortable for our family of 4, but would be great for up to 6 as well. Although this property is not located right on the beach, there is easy access (with good parking) to the beach in several locations nearby. It only takes a couple minutes to get to the beach and found access to the beach to be very convenient, and in fact enjoyed our trips over to the beach. There is alot to see in the area. For any history buffs, I would recommend a visit to Fort Morgan, and the beaches in the area are secluded and peaceful. Our experiences with the property owner were A++. Val and Renee, the owners are very kind, courteous and helpful and all emails and phone calls with any questions were answered promptly. We will definitely stay here again in the future and would love to check out some of their other properties I saw listed in different areas. Great experience and have already made recommendations to my family and friends! Thanks Val and Renee!
