Ft. Morgan Visit

This property is at the top of the properties I have rented through VRBO. The beach house had a welcoming vibe. It was extremely clean; kitchen was well-stocked with everything you might need, and the decor was tastefully done with a cozy beach feel. This property is close to the beach, which made it a short walk to the beautiful sandy beach. Carey was very communicative, informative and quick to respond to any questions. I highly recommend this property for your next stay in Fort Morgan.

Beach House with a view

If you want to stay at a cute beach house just steps from the water, look no further! This house has it all. We were surprised with all of the name brand cooking and cleaning supplies available for us to use, as well as the large amounts of beach accessories readily available in the storage area. The beach was close enough to watch the water from the living room or walk to quickly. If you want a beautiful house, quick beach access, and fun/relaxation at Fort Morgan, this is a great place to try!

Perfect Beach House

Family friendly, private, kids loved it. The owners definitely took the time to make sure this is a perfect little getaway. Things are labeled for ease of use, really just a great property with the beach just a few houses down. We definitely enjoyed our stay, typically we do a condo but I would say this was probably identical walking distance from a condo to the beach, and no elevators or carts to shuttle your stuff. Nice to park under the house, carry it right up the staircase, and just enjoy a house to ourselves. Would/will definitely stay here again. And yes, we caught fish on the beach! Including a monster stingray. Don’t worry, released everything so next vacationers will enjoy them too! Thanks again.

So relaxing and everything you will need.

We stayed here with our family. There were 8 of us and this beach house was perfect for our family. We did a lot of cooking in the kitchen. It was stocked with everything we needed including a big pot for a seafood boil. The beds were really comfortable. Our favorite part was the sitting area under the house. Many evenings and mornings there was a cool breeze and we absolutely loved the outdoor shower with hot and cold water. They had everything you need in outdoor shed for enjoying the beach which was a 1 minute walk. It was so convenient for quick trips back to the house. We especially loved playing cornhole and phase 10 with our family. Carey and Molly were fantastic to communicate with, so friendly and always very quick to respond! I would highly recommend this property for your vacation!

The Beach House

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at your clean and pleasant home. We liked the light and airy dining and family area. The kitchen had everything we needed, for example the coffee machine accepts pods, which my wife likes, or ground coffee which I like. The bed was comfortable, which is a very important thing to us. Outside, we enjoyed the decks, from which you could see the Gulf, and the breezy patio was an excellent place to read or wash up after going to the beach. We each found a good read in your stash of books. Thank you for staying in touch!

About the host

Hosted by Carey Otwell

Host profile image
We’re a Tennessee family who simply loves the beach and traveling—just like many of our guests. Our favorite travel companion is our sweet labradoodle, Shadow, who keeps life fun and full of energy.
Sharing our home means a lot to us. It truly fills our hearts knowing that families and friends can come here to relax, reconnect, and create lasting beach memories together.
We’re both music lovers, people of faith, and proud parents to our son. As a golf family, much of our time is spent traveling to junior golf tournaments, which has given us a deep appreciation for comfortable, welcoming places to stay—something we strive to provide for every guest.
We hope you’ll enjoy our little slice of the coast as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it offers the best of both worlds—a relaxed, neighborhood feel with a true beach atmosphere. Being just a short walk to the water was a must for us, and we love how easy it is to enjoy the beach anytime of day.
Another big reason we fell in love with this area is how pet-friendly it is. It’s a wonderful place to bring your furry family members along and feel right at home.
Most of all, we appreciate that it’s away from the hustle and bustle, making it the perfect spot to unwind, slow down, and truly enjoy a peaceful beach vacation.

What makes this property unique

What makes our home special is the care and attention we’ve put into recent updates. It’s been freshly refreshed with new flooring throughout, beautiful granite countertops, a new bathroom vanity, and updated aluminum hand railings—giving the space a clean, modern feel while still keeping that cozy beach charm.
One of our favorite features is how close you are to the water—just about a 60-second walk to the beach, making it easy to come and go as you please.
Upstairs, the private deck off the bedroom is a perfect spot to relax, sip your morning coffee, or unwind in the evening while taking in peaceful ocean views. It’s one of those little spaces that really makes your stay feel special.
