Beautiful house and amazing service

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: 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!

Fun week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unit was nice and good size for our family. Clean look but it could use a good cleaning as pretty dirty under beds, blinds, light fixtures, top of fridge and other places like that. Not enough wash towels provided so had to wash them each day to shower. AC filter was filthy. Looked like it hadn’t been changed in weeks. Like I said unit was good size and worked for us. We had a good time and enjoyed our stay. Just a short walk to the beach.

Relaxing beach vacation

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.

It was nice.

We have stayed in this area many times prior and have always enjoyed our stay. The house was nice. Wish it would have had a few more kitchen utensils (frying pans) but other than that we had everything we needed. The walk to the beach was nice. Really could not have asked for anything more. The house was perfect for my family.

Our family also stayed at Blessings in June 2022. The living room furniture has been updated and the kitchen refreshed since our visit last year. What a nice surprise for us.Coastal View Vacations was great to answer any questions we had. Thanks for the memories.

Amazing Beach House

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: Our family had an amazing beach vacation at this house! Just a few minutes walk to the beach, pool, basketball court, ping-pong, it was awesome! There was a minor plumbing repair needed when we arrived that was handled quickly by the property manager. The house was super clean and smelled good. All appliances worked great. There is only a small snippet of beach that is view-able from the back deck, but we knew that going in. We love Ft. Morgan and will definitely be back for more "Blessings in the Sand!"

THIS IS IT!!!

We stayed for 5 nights at the beautiful Blessings in the Sand home and we could NOT have made a better choice! This home has a remarkably well-stocked kitchen and was very clean upon checkin. It boasts two large covered porches, 4 beds and 3.5 baths. Room for three cars underneath the house and convenient to the main road. It’s one block to the beach which can ne seen from the back porch and only 1/2 block to the pool and tennis court out the front porch. Take your beach towels and have an awesome visit at the nearly empty white sand beach. The only thing in short supply was potholders but otherwise all you need is clothes and food!

Spring Break Getaway

Blessings in the Sand was perfect. Much roomier than we expected. Walk to the beach is easy. Community is quiet. The beach was not crowded at all.

Great vacation spot

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: I have stayed in the Heritage Shores community before with my family but in a different rental. This year’s rental was noticeably better maintained and cared for. Walk out the back door and you’re a 2 minute walk down to the public access beach. Walk out the front door and you’re a minute walk from the community pools. This rental had everything we were looking for.

Lovely very well stocked house

We had a wonderful time in this house. It is very spacious. We had 8 adults and 2 dogs and did not feel cramped at all. The kitchen was very well stocked with a variety of cookware. We loved that both balconies had a gate to shut so our dogs could be on the deck with us. I wish both doors to the house had a key pad instead of just the front door. Our only issues were that the queen bed in the bunk room needs be replaced. It sinks in the middle of the bed when two people lay down. So you both are rolled to the middle of the bed. Also the shower head in king bedroom with the tub shower did not work so it could only be used for baths. Other than those two things everything was great.

Convenient, Clean and Comfortable

This roomy clean home was perfect for our grandchildren and dogs. It is a short walk to the beach. The outdoor shower has warm water! The property manager was amazing. I received a message one week out letting me know that the house code would be sent to me shortly before check in time. This was huge. A welcome message was sent shortly before our arrival. Questions and concerns were promptly answered and responded to. Great experience and we will return to this property and if it's not available, we will stay with this management group.
