Property was perfect and as described in the listing! House was clean and cozy.Exactly what my wife and I were looking for, for our week long honeymoon. Location was great, close to everything we had planned for the week, with an added bit of privacy when we came back to the house. We both loved our stay here and would absolutely come back!

We have been vacationing in the area for years, and have stayed at this property for 2 years now. It is a cozy, quiet, and clean property, with the absolute best private dock to enjoy the bay, do some fishing, birdwatch, dolphin watch, or sunbathe! I'm devastated that our kiddos have gotten too old to stay on the pullout couches and we will have to stay at a property with a second bedroom next time we come down as a family, but my husbamd and I plan on staying at this property again on kid free trips!

My son in-law cam down to fish for the weekend. The property was exactly what we needed. Very close to where we fished and we fished behind off the dock behind it. It had everything we needed. It is perfect for a quick get away to Fort Morgan. I didn't bring my golf clubs but this would be a great place if you wanted to fish and golf. Very close to public course. I will stay here again if the opportunity arises.

Perfect place to pause, and refect.

This property is the most perfect property we have ever stayed. It is exactly we needed. We needed a vacation to relax. My husband enjoys fishing, so he could fish off the pier. Dolphins would swim around for a visit, making this stay extra special.
