We love this place. This is our third time staying at this house. The gates were a plus since we had a two year old with us. He did find a loose balliste, but maintaince came out promptly and fixed it. The kitchen is ver spacious with a very roomy pantry.

This is the 3rd year that we have stayed at Blessings in the Sand. We love it and it is very pet friendly. We were a little disappointed with the lack of towels on this past visit. I would have brought some of my own had I known they were going to cut back. Overall, we love the house!
We loved our stay! Everything was as pictured and a great place to land after day in the salt and sand!

We loved out stay at "Blessings in the Sand". The short walk to beach was great. Loved the neighborhood feel - lots of kids out riding bikes and playing. Nights were quiet. House was just as pictured, clean upon arrival, all the kitchen stuff you need, grill was in good shape, loved the gates on each porch perfect for keeping the little ones from going down the stairs. Overall it was a great vacation.
We absolutely loved it! Very clean and comfortable! Had everything we needed! Close to the beach!

My family absolutely loved everything about this rental. The property management group was so helpful with any questions we had prior to and during our stay. The owner of the property even stopped by one morning to introduce himself and make sure we were enjoying our stay. The amenities provided were great. The house was even better than it looked in pictures. Loved how close it was to the beach and the neighborhood was so nice and quiet. 10/10 will be booking our next beach vacation at Blessings in the Sand!
The property was exactly what we needed for this vacation. The house was really nice & spacious. The outdoor space was fantastic. We would definitely stay here again.
Great location..plenty of space for large families...plenty of kitchen ware
we would rent house again with large family. great location to beach in Ft Morgan. easy to work with rental company...very clean and comfortable

Reviewer Comments:
Overall, our stay was good. The layouts of the rooms could have been a little different in my opinion. Having the jack and jill bathroom to be shared between up to 8 people was a bit much. We had 6 of us sharing that bathroom most of the time. I was thankful for 2 sinks on opposite sides in that bathroom. The property manager was helpful and able to address some issues that came up.The distance we had to walk to get to the beach each day was very easy. That was a definite plus!

The house was beautiful and clean. Stocked with everything you could need. The walk to the Gulf was short and easy. The property managers were super responsive, kind and helped with any concerns or questions we had not only for the house but for the area as well. We have never had service like they provided at any other rental! We would highly recommend this property and property managers!
We enjoyed the beach house!! Everything worked (air conditioner, dish washer, ect). Plenty of kitchen supplies for 6 adults and 3 kids. Really appreciated gate on the porches to keep the 2 year contained.
The house and location to the beach were great! Property Manager was great! The only negative was the spying drone that came around hovering over us when we were on the front deck!
The house was casual and clean and comfortable, perfect for our family with small children. We loved the covered porches. Property manager checked in with us on the first day to see if we needed anything. We enjoyed our stay!
Very nice home. Well equipped and conveniently located. We enjoyed our getaway at Blessings in the Sand and hope to make a return visit. The management company was easy to work with and the check in/out procedures were not overly cumbersome.

This is the 2nd time we've stayed here and it did not disappoint. The property was perfectly suited to our needs. Love this property!
This was our second time staying at this property. We love the neighborhood, the pool, and easy access to a private beach. The house is spacious and comes with everything you need! Two decks-one for morning and one for evening, an outdoor shower so you leave allllll the sand under the house, and easy access to some sweet spots in Ft Morgan.
We had a wonderful time. The house is just a short walk to the beach. The house was clean and had many useful items to use while there to make it feel like home. The property manager was a joy to work with and made our stay as comfortable as possible. We had dogs with us, and the grass was full of stickers though, so that is something to be careful of. All of that being said, we will be revisiting the area!

This is a beautiful and relaxing house. It is clean and well maintained with amazing covered deck areas...our favorite place to relax. It is a short walk to the beach...easy for our kiddos and a lovely neighborhood. The kids loved the pool that you could see from our front deck.
