About this property

Dog friendly with Awesome views and a new cargo lift!

Our cottage was completely remodeled in 2022 thanks to Sally. We have just added a new cargo lift to help with heavy items (guests must abide by listed rules and are responsible for any damage due to irresponsible use).

Lee Lee's cottage sleeps 7 people comfortably (1 newer memory foam king in master, 1 newer king and twin memory foam beds in 2nd BR, 1 double/twin bunk in 3rd BR, and new leather black sofa with double recliners, and newer leather loveseat. Newer smart TV in living room, all bedrooms have a smart TV (master has only Roku stick, guest room has brand new smart tv, Bunkroom has brand new Smart TV. If you need to stay in touch with the real world bring your laptop-we provide free wifi. The new kitchen with granite and soft close new cabinets is fully equipped and lots of room to make family meals together. Brand new oven/range with air fry feature. Dual coffee maker works as regular carafe or single K-cups. Both bathrooms have been remodeled-master has walk in shower with removable bath seat. Storm door with dog door. Full size washer and dryer is off of the kitchen.

We love all dogs of all sizes and breeds, but guests are responsible for any and all damage caused by your dogs. If they sleep with you, guests must bring your own linens. Guests must tell us about their dogs (2) at the time of reservation-there is a $135 non-refundable fee per stay (not per dog).

There is a propane grill under the house. Plenty of seating on upper deck as well as under the house. There are chair cushions in the storage boxes on upper deck and under house box. Please put cushions back in box before leaving or during bad weather. Winds in Ft. Morgan can be quite strong. Please bring your own beach towels. There is a good collection of beach toys in storage closet on the ground level, if you want nice beach chairs please bring your own.

Recombinant exercise bike in bunk room closet as well as 2 adult bikes in toy closet--USE AT OWN RISK (might need minor maintenance due to salty air). We do have security cameras onsite-they are all outside. For June/July need to have Saturday-Saturday bookings. Please treat our home as your own-this is our retirement home-not just a vacation rental :)
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

I would like to start off by saying our host was wonderful. She was quick to respond to messages. The house had a lift over to the side of it that made things like bringing your luggage and groceries up a thousand times easier. You really couldn't beat the proximity to the beach! The house was so-so on the cleanliness and the upkeep of it. The lights under the house were almost non-existent! We had to use the lights from the storage closet to see the grill. One light fixture was literally laying on the ground, and the other one was hanging by a wire. This place had tons of beach accessories to choose from, and it even had a nice metal dog enclosure that we used. A word of advice if you plan on staying here: make sure and bring paper towels, toilet paper, & trash bags. It did state in the description that you were provided with the starters of these items, but they were definitely starters! Another thing was the hand soaps in the bathrooms were watered down so bad that there wasn't hardly any soap in them left! Other than just a couple of minor details, this place was overall a wonderful place to stay! We hope to be back again soon!

Beautiful front view

This house was very nice. The view from the front of the house was beautiful. We could sit in the living room and look out across the ocean. Just steps to the beach. Our 9year old daughter loved all the different beach toys in the toy room. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend to family and friends.

Lots of updates needed

Our goal for our family beach trip was to be on the beach and hang out on the beach and eat at home. Advertised was working kitchen and utensils. Stove had an eye that caught fire and other eyes cooked very slowly. Oven only had a top burner so food cooked slowly and unevenly. All the drawers in bedrooms kept getting off track. All cookware and utensils are way last due for an update. When we got there cleaning lady was there but we heard no washing machine going. There were still pretzels on the floor and dust all over and the sheets didn't smell fresh. Recliner was broken and had bandaids on them. Sliding door hard to open. Lights in the downstairs area weren't working so couldn't have games at night. The roof had a little leak in 2 areas in the hallway. In the master bedroom the bed is against a wall that has a plastic shelf close to your head so if you roll over just right you hit your head on it. The location was beautiful though, not directly on the beach but great view and access to the beach. my biggest problem was, I didn't plan to write a review bc I didn't want to deter anyone from staying but I informed the owner of the problems and how it made our planned stay uncomfortable with all the things wrong. I didn't expect any refund but I did expect comfort and things that were advertised to be working and the owner to act like they care you were displeased with your stay. Unfortunately she only responded with thanks for letting me know, I'll have my handy man look.

Hi Amanda, I am very sorry you were this displeased with my home. If you had told me of the light issue or outdoor shower problem early during your stay instead of at checkout I could have tried to get it fixed for you. I try very hard to keep the house in good working order for my guests. The cleaning lady brings clean sheets with her, there isn’t time to wash all linens between same day check outs and check ins. But I am truly sorry you didn’t have a comfortable stay. Best wishes, Lee Ann
