We have stayed at many VRBO locations in the past and this one was, by far, a step above. Michael and Donna have gone the extra mile and provided many amenities that we found very welcoming. For example - a hair dryer, brand new hand soap in each bathroom, high quality kitchenware, a crockpot, a few pool toys, board games, etc.
The extremely comfortable pillows, amazing comforters, throw blankets in the living room, and comfortable furniture throughout made our stay extremely relaxing and cozy.
The view from the balcony overlooking the marina is gorgeous - dolphins inside the harbor were a treasure, as well as the pelicans and herons which were abundant. From the front door, one can also get a beautiful view of the gulf. The sunsets over the gulf were astounding!
Michael was extremely attentive to our needs and answered emails within minutes whenever we had a question. This was extremely appreciated.
Another thing we were really impressed with was the quality of the unit itself... strong, sturdy doors throughout; nice refrigerator with an ice/water dispenser; a dreamy showerhead in the master bath; HUGE sliding doors to the balcony; thick and dark curtains in the living room and master bedroom; etc.
The only negatives that I can think of are the fact that the freezer space is very limited and the water tastes a little chloriney (made up word lol).
For anyone planning to visit during the cooler months like we did - note that the pool is NOT heated and is freeeezing ;) Our ten year old went in it a few times, but it was much too cold to even begin to enjoy. The hot tub was too hot for a few days, but one mention of this to Michael had it fixed by the next time we entered. Although our kids would have enjoyed the pool, we made do with the hot tub.
The Fort Morgan area is absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed the Fort, which is located 2 miles away from the condo. We brought our boat and had fun exploring Mobile Bay, which was larger than we had anticipated. We did some fishing, without much luck. We spent quite a bit of time playing on the beach - playing with crabs, searching for shells, photographing the sunset, etc. The beach is very accessible and there are many spots where you can park, or it's a short walk from the condo itself.
The location of the condo is extremely peaceful and quiet, although a bit far from grocery stores, so be sure to stock up on your way in! And, check out the Sassy Bass for a great meal!
