Beach Trip 2022

This year my family decided to rent out a beach house instead of a condo. This was the first time for this and it was AMAZING! We loved the house and the location. Will probably be booking again for next year.

Beach access in house in peaceful Fort Morgan

We loved the convenience and ability to spend time with our framily (friends/family) on the beach. Had to make one call for the dishwasher which was quickly addressed. Enjoyed quite mornings on the porch swing. Close proximity to the beach and family atmosphere for meals and down time. We didn't need a vacation after this vacation. Exactly what we needed!

We truly enjoyed our time in Fort Morgan. The house was in a great location and very clean when we arrived. A short walk to the beach. The screened in porch was a lovely spot to relax while listening to the ocean. Our kids enjoyed the novelty of Strawberry Shortcake on VHS. The photos on VRBO are outdated as the view is now blocked by a large home. The house has seen better days but was in good enough condition for the price. If you were someone who needs wifi then you would have some issues. We never could get it to work despite following the troubleshooting instructions provided. In the end we embraced the opportunity to unplug but some may not appreciate the lack of reliable service. Great location, very clean, rough around the edges, crappy wifi.

Stay in early June

Loved the house - plenty of room, very clean, very comfortable. Great location close to the beach. A little difficult to find the address of the home from the street - wrong code given to us initially to get in the house but rental office quickly solved this. Lots of chairs, umbrellas, toys, boogie boards to use, nice to have outdoor shower to use before entering house and charcoal grill for cooking was a bonus. Very good air conditioning. We really had a great visit with 4 adults and two kids.

Coastal Connection

Overall our stay was very pleasant! Close enough to the beach to walk. House was big enough to accommodate my family. Some furniture seemed a bit outdated and broken. Nothing that ruined the stayed. Master bedroom mattress was a little uncomfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with every dish we would need. The books, movies, and games were nice for the rainy days!

Nice get away close to the beach.

We had an excellent time at this property. Not really any down falls, the back door handle needs to be fixed and a beach wagon would be nice since it’s a short walk to the beach . That’s just knit picking everything was great. We would stay here again

Great house, minor issues that were handled immediately & accurately!

The house needs some deep cleaning (base boards, wall scrubbing, etc. All appliances were in great working condition! Description online could’ve been more in depth. All minor issues we had were IMMEDIATELY dealt with! Hunter is absolutely AMAZING to work with! He gave us a total rundown of restaurants in the area and was a gem! Shower curtain in master suite should be white, it’s dark in that shower. All in all I’d stay with Reed Rental again and at this house again. It was great to be away from the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores/Orange Beach. 4 out of 5 stars.

Overall a pretty good stay.

Overall we had a pretty good stay. Location was perfect. You could see the bay from the front of the house and the ocean from the back of the house. Both the bay/ocean were less than a 5 minute walk from the house. Size of the house was great for 4 adults and 4 kids. We only had a couple of issues, neither of which I would classify as “major” issues. (1) Communication. When sending messages via the VRBO app it would take multiple days sometimes to get a response. Our rental agreement was also misplaced (after receiving confirmation that it had been received) and I had to do the leg work to re-provide them with the original email containing the rental agreement contract as well as the USPS tracking number. (2) Cleanliness. Upon our arrival the kitchen floors were still dirty, dishwasher was full of dishes (instructions state it must be left empty upon departure), couldn’t locate sheets for the trundle and one of the comforters was dirty. We took care of cleaning it ourselves and let the rental company know. We received a quick response from them with an apology and they let us know they would talk to house keeping about it.

Family vacation

We loved the location of this property. We enjoy more removed from people vacations and this was perfect. Yet we had a short 20-30 min drive to get into the hub of crazy fun! Felt like we had a private beach! Walk was short and beach close enough that we enjoyed the ocean sound all day. House was perfect and washer and dryer were a savior for beach towels! We absolutely loved this house and location. Only complaint I have is I wish they would let you know they only give you a few garbage bags, only one roll toilet paper per bathroom and no dish soap or dishwasher liquid provided. (I could have brought along instead of spending way more than needed at local grocery store for these items!)

Loved our stay! The location was great, the walk to the beach would be a little easier if there were a path from the house to the road. Overall we loved our stay and spent every evening sitting on the enclosed porch. And enjoyed having the outdoor shower to spray off before going inside and the picnic table under house was great for coming up and having lunch before heading back down to the beach.

Cant recommend this house enough...

Even if the place had been a dump, that screened in front porch would have made everything alright. However, the house was perfect! It rained three of the four days that we were there and it was still one of the best vactions that I've had. The beach was beautiful (with the exception of the crazy amounts of jellyfish, but we knew that there was a jellyfish warning before we left home.) It was hard to swim with all the jellyfish in the water, but even that didnt dampen the fun. It's a great beach for finding shells, for enjoying a quite layout, and for catching crabs (and letting them go, of course.) We cooked some great meals in the kitchen, the bedrooms and livingroom were all super comfortable, and the bathrooms/tub/showers were great! The outside shower was the best though. I would highly recommend this house to anyone, and I would stay there again in a heartbeat. I can tell you that I will dream about that porch every single day... the awesome gulf breeze, no bugs, rain or shine, morning or night, it was heavenly. Thanks for a great vacation!!
