Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The house was a little different than what I thought it was going to be and had a weird smell which I figured was paint but it served the purpose and we had a great time and a great stay. The management company were lovely people which made the process so smooth and they were quick to email or text.
We were very pleased with our stay. We had a large group full of adults and children. We enjoyed the large inside space, large table and private beach. Renters were very responsive. Easy check in and out process!

This property and property management was awesome! We loved the area of Fort Morgan! The property was far enough out that there was no crowd but close enough to drive in if we wanted to do something. The communication with the property management could not have been better! If you are looking for a great place to stay with your family, this is the place!

The location and the beach access were excellent. I did not think that the bedrooms were very well furnished. Only one bedroom had a chest of drawers or a dresser. I would suggest that the cleaning crew not use fabuloso or whatever the cleaning solution was. It was so strong that it was almost nauseating. The microwave had been cleaned with it and could not be used because anything you put in the microwave taste like fabuloso. But the agent was very responsive and sent us a new microwave immediately. The agents we talked to at Coastal View during the week were wonderful about everything.

Very family friendly, plenty of room but does have lots of steps if you have a handicap family member! Beach front is perfect for the kids and then to run in and grab lunch!!!! Does need an overall deep cleaning and updates.

Beautiful condo. Busy location on the beach. Parking deck is crazy. Didn’t like wearing the bracelet for condo. Great for kids. Pricey when you add in all of the fees…especially for parking. That should be included in the rate!
