We had a lovely stay. Our children enjoyed the beach as well as the pools. The unit was clean and well stocked. We loved the washer and dryer in the room. We would stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and stay at this property. It was clean, non-cluttered, and we love that it had two bathrooms. We were a five-minute walk from the beach and less time to the many pools. It was truly a Caribbean setting for a reasonable price.

Thanks for letting us stay in your condo. We had a great time. Really enjoyed the location and the proximity to the beach was nice. Very clean and tidy. Having a washer/dryer was great also! Thank you again so much. It was the perfect, much-needed vacation. Loved the Original Oyster House and Mikees. Of course, Lamberts is a definite must!!! We highly recommend this rental. The weather was great. You could easily forget it was the middle of October. Days were warm and breezy, nights cool but nice.

We stayed here last October and really enjoyed it. The condo is very clean and had everything we needed. The children swam in the indoor pool often and so did the adults because the weather was a little cool. We plan to stay here again this year. We enjoyed the nearby restaurants, the zoo and shopping. I would highly recommend this location for a wonderful place to spend your vacation.

Condo Fort Morgan Gulf Shores Plantation

Date of Stay: 03/15/09 Review Submitted: 03/31/09

We stayed in this condo for 4 days this year for Spring Break. (March 2009) It was wonderful. The condo is clean, nicely decorated and had anything we could possibly need. The location of the condo on the property was great, walkway to the beach is at the end of the hallway. The pools were very pretty although it was a little too cool for us to use. The beach and the access were great! Not crowded, beautiful sand dunes. We will definitely be back. The complex is gated and we felt very safe. There is a convenience store with nice choices for a quick breakfast or lunch. We can't say enough good things about our trip. It was about 20-30 minute drive into Gulf Shores, but for the privacy on the beach and being away from the crowds- it was not a problem at all. Thanks to the Flannigans for sharing their wonderful home with us.

The condo is very nice, great to have a washer/dryer in the unit. Love the Fort Morgan area. Tacky Jacks is a good place to eat. Pizza at the cafe on location is really good too.

We are 5 "old" (50ish) college roommates/friends who take a trip together every year and this year we decided on Gulf Shores. As we were looking for places to stay, Fort Morgan popped up....and we are so glad it did! We had a great time and the condo was fantastic! The condo is clean and nicely decorated. Everything that you could possibly need was provided (washer/dryer, towels, sheets, and all kitchen supplies including dishes/glasses/utensils) The owner was very accommodating. He always answered our questions and emails and was always kind. He sent directions to the property as well as provided names of local places to eat. We basically "moved in" for the week and had a great time. The weather was perfect the whole week...no rain, just hot, sunny skies. We had jellyfish one day, but that goes with the territory...no problem, we went shopping and came back later and spent the rest of the day at the pool! This condo community is very much a family-oriented place, which we were very pleased with. All of the restaurants that the owner recommended were great and we ventured into Gulf Shores to try a few more. The drive into Gulf Shores is very quick and it was always nice to come back to our "home". I would highly recommend this property to my friends and we will definately plan to return in the future. Another plus is internet accessibility. Unfortunately, my computer chose to crash on this trip, so I had to go to the local library to begin an on-line class...they were very nice as well and the library is very close.

We had a wonderful stay at your condo. The weather was perfect, the beach was very nice and not too crowed. The indoor pool was great for our 3 boys who weren't done swimming even though they needed a break from the sun. The condo was great and the location is just far enough away to make it quite and private but close enough to make a quick trip to all of the restuarants and shops. We will recommend your place to our family and friends.

My family as well as my parents stayed in this condo over mothers day weekend and we had a wonderful time. It was kid friendly, clean, and had easy access to the beach. We all had a great time and did not want to leave. We are looking forward to our next trip to Gulf Shores Plantation!!!!

Owner response:Thanks for visiting our beach condo. Glad you had a great time. Look forward to you visiting again. Russ and Janet Flanagan

The "girls" had another wonderful outing at the condo. The weather was fabulous. We sat on the beach, walked on the beach, went shopping, ate, ate, and ate! What more could you ask? The condo was great. We also went for a walk on one of the nearby trails--no alligators, but it surely looked like the right spot. It was a wonderful time!!!!

Our family had a wonderful time. The condo was very accommodating. When we walked out one set of stairs & were at one pool, the other set of stairs we were at another pool - all the while just a few steps away from the ocean. The condo itself had everything we needed for our family of 5. I loved getting my laundry done before we got home!!! The Plantation Grounds were very well kept and secluded.

What a wonderful vacation. Beach was perfect, ready for long walks and lots of sun and reading under the umbrella. The Beach club and Golf club were nice places to eat. I enjoyed the music at the golf club. This was the first time we walked the nature trails off Ft. Morgan Rd and that was nice, too.We hope to do it again. Your condo was very, very nice.

We had a wonderful week at the beach. This is a great place for kids to vacation. Your condo was not only conveniently located, but also very comfortable. We plan to visit again.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Flanagan, We just returned from our five day stay at your condo at Gulf Shores Plantation in Gulf Shores. I want to start by saying that we had a fabulous vacation. The weather was beautiful and so was your condo. It was very comfortable and clean. We had everything we needed and the guide you provided on where to shop, eat, etc. was very helpful. Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your condo and we hope to return in the future. Sincerely, Lori Webb

We were very happy with all the extras that this condo had. The washer and dryer was a life saver! Every thing in the condo was very nice and comfortable. Nicely decorated, even the beds were comfortable!( That doesn't happen very often.) Having 2 bathrooms was a great plus. Overall we give this condo a 10. Thanks for a great time, The Cox Family Austin Family Stallings Family

We stayed in your unit from Nov. 1st, thru. Dec.30th....WE REALLY WERE LUCKY TO be able to rent same....This is our 11th year in Gulf Shores, and your unit was one of the best we have rented...One very positive comment, is that the Plantation rental units are not furnihed as complete as yours, and the big plus you have is the washer and dryer!!!!!!You really don't appreciate these appliances until you don't have them!!!!!!We are sorry we could not have stayed the entire 5 months that we are here, in our unit...We would rent it again, in a heart beat....Thank you.
