Really could not ask for a lovelier home to stay in. Clean, comfortable, spacious, well-equipped, and thoughtfully furnished, and of course, with spectacular views from their great location…..just a perfect oceanfront spot! It is wonderful that the hosts, Dan and Helen, share their pretty home with us. Thanks so much for a wonderful vacation! Definitely would love to return.
Dan and Helen are one of the best owners to work with. This is the 2nd time staying at their house. Clean Slate is as clean and pictured as in the past. It’s obvious they take pride in their beach house. Communication is quick, and they check on you throughout the stay, to make sure everything is good. Great stay!
This was our fourth trip to Clean Slate with our children and grandchildren, and we hope to return another day. The location is wonderful and the property is kept in great condition. We all love to cook and share meals, and the kitchen is well-equipped and perfect for family cooking. Communication with the owners is easy, and they are responsive to the renters’ needs. We love that our small dog is welcome in the house and on the beach. Highly recommend.
We cannot say enough nice things about this property and/or the owners! We travel with this group often and there were nothing but positive remarks the entire trip. This trip was without kids and the 8 of us each had our own room, bathroom & the kitchen was stocked perfectly for a group who likes to cook! This home is loved by it's owners and it shows. Also, the tent with chairs on the beach was such an added bonus. Highly recommend! Thank you, Dan & Helen!
Dan and Helen have done it again. This was our second trip to stay in this house and we weren't disappointed. Dan and Helen are the best hosts. Can't say enough good things about them. They have a great house right on the beach with EVERYTHING you need to have a great stay. We love staying at this house and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beach house with all the amenities. Thank you to Dan and Helen for a wonderful place to stay and we will be back as soon as we can. We started planning our next stay before we left. Book this house you won't be disappointed. I would give them 10 stars if I could..
I’ve been coming to Clean Slate Beach House for nearly 15 years, and every stay is nothing short of amazing! It’s become my go-to getaway, for good reason! From stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere that never fail to take our breath away to the immaculate home itself, with every detail thoughtfully designed to make it feel like a home away from home. We love that the beach is just steps away, providing easy access to the ocean (and beach volleyball) whenever we want. And when you’re done at the beach, the outdoor space is perfect for relaxing—from the outdoor shower to the incredible back decks (yes, decks!) and the play space and toys under the house when you need a break from the sun (or wind).Inside, the spacious and comfortable floor plan allows for quality time playing games, cooking in the fully stocked kitchen and watching movies with family and friends. And when it’s time to sleep, there’s not a bad room in the house. Each room has its own bathroom and is thoughtfully decorated and cozy.Whether you’re coming to Clean Slate to relax, explore or make memories with loved ones, this beach house is a true gem!
Clean Slate exceeded our families expectations and it was even better than the VRBO website illustrates! Though we were aware of the five-star rating and great reviews, we weren't ready for was just how complete Clean Slate would be. The owners care for the property and it shows. Everything was clean, fresh, and high quality. The home allows for plenty of privacy with each bedroom having its own private bathroom. When it was time to get together the large open den, dining, and bar areas made it easy for everyone to congregate.
Access to the beach could not be easier. The dune walk goes right to the beach. The owners provide a huge tent, chairs, and cooler, which made the beach easy to enjoy. The screened-in porch was a great (and safe!) place for our young kids to play. With a clear view of the porch from the kitchen, it made watching our boys and preparing meals a breeze.
The owners have clearly gone to great lengths to ensure the kitchen is well stocked with plenty of cookware, utensils, and other items necessary to prepare meals small and large. Given the beach house is on a limited access road there was no traffic other than guests and residents who live on the street, which was a nice bonus for us. On the one day of rainy weather we were able to leverage the parking pad to keep the kids entertained with plenty of activities.
It's clear the owners care about the house and their guests - we highly recommend Clean Slate!
The house was perfect for our family stay. Great location on the beach and perfect space. The beach tent with chairs and cooler was also an awesome touch!
We had a wonderful time for our family vacation! This little piece of paradise was just perfect! The home owners were very easy and responsive to communicate with, much easier than I have experienced in the past!
Nice stay. Convenient location. Pool was a plus. Missed a dishwasher. One drawback was the maids arriving prior to check out time while we were out food gas and breakfast.
Second time using this beautiful home as our vacation haven. The owners could not be better or more accommodating. The home is truly “a home”. This place is heaven!
Property was awesome, house was better than advertised. All of our grandkids are already wanting to come back.
Dan and Helen were wonderful to work with!
The home was perfect for our stay, and the view was beautiful. We enjoyed the screened-in porch after dinner every night with the pleasant breezes. It was also unexpected to have a shaded place to sit on the beach with chairs, a rug, and a cooler. The home was very well decorated and above expectations, with comfortable beds and couches.Also, the owners were kind enough to check on us, and it was very easy to find answers to unknown questions or things that we were not sure about. We hope to go back and stay again, hopefully next year.
Our stay at Clean Slate was wonderful from beginning to end! The house was beautiful and very well taken care of. The owner was beyond helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a huge tent, beach chairs and ice waiting for us upon our arrival. We would absolutely recommend this home and will definitely return!!
We loved our time at clean slate. The house looks exactly like the pictures. We had plenty of space to spread out and the porch was lovely. We loved all the beach toys and chairs as well as the tent that was provided. We also enjoyed that this part of the beach is all houses, so it didn’t get crowded like some other areas of the gulf. Would recommend staying here!
This was our second stay in Clean Slate and we will be back for sure! We again enjoyed the screened in porch very much. The house is stocked with about anything you could want or need. The layout of the house is great and the couches/ beds are very comfortable. Thank you Dan and Helen!

Great House! Great Location! Great Vacation!
Loved our week here! Wish we could've stayed longer! We returned to to Fort Morgan after several years and chose to return to this house again. We loved it the first time & it was even better this trip. No complaints! It has the most well equipped kitchen of any house we have ever rented. Beautifully decorated & very comfortable for 2 families with our kids ranging from 8-20. We will be back again!

Great beach house!!!
The house was exactly as portrayed in the pictures. The beach is mere steps away. The house lacked for nothing and was very clean. Helen was easily accessible and responded quickly to any concerns I had. I have no difficulty recommending this house to anyone.
We had a wonderful vacation at Clean Slate with our children and grandchildren. There was plenty of room for us to spread out and enjoy the property... whether it was taking an afternoon siesta in the hammock under the house; watching dolphins from the screened in porch; suntanning on one of the two decks; or playing in the surf and sand on the beautiful, clean beach out our back door. Our host, Dan, was very responsive to questions and concerns. The house was well equiped making our stay feel like home.
We had a wonderful stay at Clean Slate. The bedroom set up, with the double queen beds in two rooms and en suite bathrooms, was great for our group. The furnishings were very nice and the house seemed very clean. The only issues we encountered were with the internet, which wasn’t very reliable, and struggling to find cabinet space for our food. But despite small inconveniences, it was a wonderful place to stay! Thanks Dan & Helen!
What a fantastic place to stay!!! Everything was better than expected. Dan & Helen made this trip Special and so easy. All of our guests were blown away by all the little things, like they had a tent setup on beach with great beach chairs. Clean Slate was perfect! The kitchen had everything you needed, the beds were great and the house was immaculate!! We will definitely be coming back. We made great memories!!
Thanks CLEAN SLATE!!
20 seconds from door to beach chairs. Beautiful house with any item you could possibly want or need…Beach chairs, shelter, assorted baby pools and toys, any kitchen item etc…Beach isn’t crowded, but just enough people around to be interesting:). The closest big grocery ( Publix, Rouses) is about 1/2 hr drive, but 2 quick stops and a Dollar General make picking up most essentials easy. Enjoyed dinner nightly on the big screeded porch and crab searches. Initially, seeing the natural gas rigs on the water ( far out) caught me by surprise, but they are lit up with pretty lights at night and became something my grandsons enjoyed watching. 100% beautiful and will gladly return.
This was our first time renting a house on the beech instead of a condo. And we couldn't have pick a better place to stay than Clean Slate. This place truly is beautiful and clean. Dan was extremely helpful with answering all our questions prior to our trip and made us feel welcome in their home. Everything is there that you need to spend a wonderful vacation with friends or family. The only thing that was missing was a stocked fridge (which I'm sure could be arranged :-) ). We will definitely be returning to this great beech house the next time we visit. Thanks Dan and Helen for a wonderful first beech house experience.
