The home is perfect for a family, we stayed with our daughter and our parents. With 2 living spaces and kitchens, it was perfect. Our fur babies loved the backyard and the fishing was wonderful!

The property is an older block home that is very comfortable, not pretentious.
Much more spacious that we imagined. This is our 3 time at a VRBO and it was as we expected. Tne location and spaciousness made the trip. It is comfortable and we enjoyed our weekend. This will be a great family place.

Family Vacation
My family and I really enjoyed our time at the Sun of a Beach home. We typically stay over on the Gulf Shores side where it is crowded with lots of traffic. The Sun of a Beach was over on the Ft. Morgan side which was very quiet and relaxing and you didn't have to deal with the big crowds unless you went over to Gulf Shores. We loved spending time on the enclosed patio area watching the water and the sun sets. We even got to enjoy a night by the bonfire. My husband and son enjoyed their fishing on the dock and cought 3 salt water catfish and one stingray. The way the house is set up it would be great if there was separate couples/families that came because it had the split living/kitchen areas. If I could recommend anything I would recommend that the stove be replaced. The burners are hard to cook on because the slant and the pans don't stay on it right and one burner seems to cook at only one temp. Other then that, the house was very quaint and perfect.

Bayhouse
We traveled from TX 15hr drive, got in late around 130am. The door code did not work. Called the help desk, they had to call the person on call who wasn't answering. An hour later of still waiting my husband walked around and found a side door unlocked. If he had not walked around we woukd have to find somewhere to sleep for the night. At 530am finally received a call with a new door code. Never received an apology from the rental company Beachball or any compositions for this which I'm disappointed about especially paying for that night.
Other than that the house was nice. The dock my family enjoyed fishing from everyday. The house is very roomy in a private area. A few updates like a new shower head in the front bathroom would be nice.
