Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Gorgeous home with quiet neighborhood to relax and enjoy both inside or out. Only a short walk to the lovely pool! We had several days at the beach and sometimes we were the only ones there. We had several couples meet us there throughout our stay and everyone loved the property. We shall definitely return.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, a great experience. The layout and rooms worked great for us. The property manager was very responsive and helpful. Only a few recommendations that would have made it perfect. Some of the appliances could use some upgrades. Would recommend upgrading to Smart Tv's to make them a little easier to use. Would have liked more patio furniture. Maybe a couple of chairs and small tables for the back and upstairs patios. I personally loved being a little away from the action and traffic of Gulf Shores, but some of our group would have liked to have been a little closer to Gulf Shores.

Family Vacay

We really enjoyed our stay at this property! The beach was just a short walk away, and having the pool so close was a great perk. We do wish there was outdoor seating to enjoy the beautiful surroundings even more. Additionally, the dryer took quite a long time to dry our clothing. Overall, we had a wonderful time and appreciate the efforts to make our stay enjoyable. We would consider coming back in the future.

Pleasant Beach Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was a great home away from home for the week. It was a close walk to the beach and even closer to the pool. It was far enough away from the busyness of Gulf Shores that the beach wasn't as crowded. But any restaurant or shopping was only 12 miles away. The 4 bedrooms and bunkroom worked perfectly for our family. We heard from the manager early on in our stay, but didn't run into any problems to need to reach out for anything.

This was a very nice place to stay. Needs a few updates but was at a great location and fit most our family's needs. would have loved to BBQ, but the one was a very small grill and couldn't grill enough for the family. Needed more utensil's, (very limited). Lower bedroom had a bed that sounded like it was breaking every time to moved(uncomfortable)

Centrally located between both pools. Beach access was very close. We rented a golf cart for the week from Golf Carts 2 You. It was a nice extra that helped get us to and from the beach.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent a wonderful week at Beach Blessings in Morgantown. Morgantown is a wonderful community with its own pools and crosswalks to the beach. Twice a week garbage is taken to the road for you and garbage cans returned.The house was located approximately 2 blocks from the beach and a block from each pool. Very convenient! Had a small grill outside that had seen better days. Within a day I was contacted by our manager and she brought over a beautiful new grill. We really appreciated this!The house itself was perfect for our family. Large kids room upstairs with two sets of twin over full bunk beds. The two bedrooms on the main level are super if you don't want to climb stairs. Appreciate the washer and dryer on the main level!There were small issues with the house but nothing that hindered us from having a great vacation!Highly recommend the Morgantown community!!!
