Such a great beach vacation home with lots of comfortable beds and plenty of space for our family! The kitchen is very well appointed, which made cooking wonderfully easy. The beds are very comfortable! The hosts respond very quickly to any questions we had and were super helpful. Thanks for a lovely stay!
Perfect location for family vacation. Right on beach, great porch overlooking beach to watch the sunrise and set. Private pool was a hit with all! House location is easy to get to and not too crowded. Will definitely be back here again. Beautiful, quiet area. House is clean and just as described. Hosts are easy to work with. Definitely recommend. We will be back!
Great place in a great area. No crowds, no congestion, no hassle and great hosts. We had 11 adults (family) stay for 5 nights and it was a perfect spot to unwind and spend time together. The property was had lots of beach chairs, umbrellas, great kitchen and grill area. We will be back.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay in Fort Fun East. The house's proximity to the beach was literally a few feet. The accommodations were great, the kitchen fully stocked and plenty of beach chairs were provided. We love the setting of Ft Morgan for the quietness, no hustle/bustle and serene setting. Fort Fun East made it all the better. We are very appreciative of our hosts and their excellent response time and helpfulness. We will stay here again!
We had a great time! We wish we would have booked for an extra night, we were not ready to leave. Everything was great, clean, and we will definitely be coming back!
Toes in the Sand is Fantastic! The location of the house is right on the beach. We could watch the kids play in the sand from the house. The pool was a great hit as well! So refreshing to cool off and the kids had a blast. The beds are super comfortable. Everyone had their on space and bathroom! Two thermostats in house for perfect comfort control. Not crowded was so nice! Thank you for the perfect vacation home!
This home was perfect for families! We brought our extended family and there was plenty of space for everyone! Beds are all very comfortable. A few steps to the private beach access - no crowds. Pool was refreshing after a hot day at the beach! Mark and Ashley was so easy to work with - very accommodating and responsive. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!!
We have had an amazing three weeks at Fort Fun East. The house lacks for nothing for cooking and most of all, relaxing on the deck watching the Gulf.The house is decorated in calming blue tones and has plenty of room for ancouple or a big friend or family gathering.Communication with the owners was also always smooth and prompt.Lets put it this way, this was our first visit to the Gulf Shores area and we fell in love and bought a house. :)You will love your stay, do not hesitate!
The house is right on the beach as described in the listing. It was clean had almost everything that you would expect of a beach house and is perfect for a quite family beach getaway. We loved it and everything was just great.
The only word of caution for potential travelers (and this is not on the host and out of their control), Doordash/Uber eats does service the area and there are very few restaurants in this part of the island. So please make sure you are stocked with food etc, or else you will end up spending about 30/45 mins (min) to get to/fro from a decent restaurant. :)
Thanks Ashley and Mark.
We vacationed with kiddos aged 1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, and 13. My mom, sister, sister-in-law, and myself had our hands full! This house, and its perfect placement, made our lives so much easier! We were steps from the beach! After a few beach hours and a sand spray off with the hose at the stairs coming back into the house, the kids loved to cool off in the pool. We had a couple of rainy days so we drove and found a fun souvenir shop, restaurant/bar, and ice cream parlor just minutes away. Our electronic lock flashed ‘low battery’ so I reached out to the owners and someone was there in no time to fix it. She was very kind and patient as our kiddos happened to be in the pool when she stopped by so it was far from a quiet environment. We will definitely keep this property saved for future vacations!

Great duplex
The views are wonderful. The house is just right to spread out but not too large to get lost. Our host was very responsive. She gave us our info a head of time so we could make plans early for our autistic sons.
We had our dogs with us so swept every day. There was a pair of socks and dried up food scraps under the couch.
IT IS A DUPLEX which was not in the description. You will have a neighbor on the other side of the wall.
Very good location. Beach area is wonderful. There was 12 of us but with 5 adult in the living room it was a little tight.
There is only 1 towel per person so with us staying 5 days I had to do laundry everyday.
And there is only 2 dish cloths and 1 dish towel and no pot holders. We enjoy cooking and eating In so after a meal was cooked the dish towel had to be washed also. Just needs to be more towels for a 4 bedroom and 3 bath house.
The grand kids loved the pool I just felt like I did laundry all week.

Thanks for the feedback regarding the towels Marie! We can definitely take that up with our housekeeping crew. So glad to hear you and the family enjoyed your stay! Thanks again for staying with us!
The property was right on the beach. We are semi-local so we understood that there wasn’t a ton of restaurants and shopping so we tried to bring everything we needed. There is a new Dollar General right down the street that was convenient. I loved that we didn’t have to bring beach chairs, they were already there. The living area is a tad small when you have teenagers lounging around, but we also were there when it was a bit cooler temps and couldn’t enjoy outside as much. Of all things that the house didn’t have…oven mitts. Our daughter was coming the next day so she brought some with her. Otherwise, the kitchen was fully stocked and the house had everything we needed to relax and enjoy!

Shelia, thank you so much for your review. We are glad your family enjoyed themselves. Your comment about the oven mitts is very helpful! I've already had some ordered to be delivered the ASAP! Thanks again!
Best view of the beach in all my stays at the gulf since the 70s. We had a blast! The home is full of all the items necessary for a fabulous beach trip!
This was just the trip we needed. The house was comfortable and so put together. Access to a pool was nice for the midday heat and the washer and dryer helped with fast cleanup. Will definitely return!
This house was perfect for our family with 5 teenagers!!! Beach access was incredible, kitchen was so well stocked we didn’t use half the gadgets we brought with us, beds were comfy!! Will definitely stay here again!
Fantastic location nice small pool under house to cool off and get break from sun if you needed it. Kitchen well stocked with pots and pans to cook. Everything was neat and clean.
Beautiful house and gorgeous view! The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need, including beach chairs and umbrellas. The owners were wonderful and very quick in responding to our questions. You could not possibly want anything else in a beach house. Being able to bring our dog and take him out to the beach with us was the cherry on top!! We will definitely be back!
