    We had an amazing stay. Loved the location and how close the beach access is, and how close Sassy Bass is! We brought our dog and loved sitting on the porch with her and taking her to the beach! A gate at the porch would really take this pet friendly place to the next level. Overall we loved it and will be back!!

    The Minnow isn’t fancy, but it is cute, cozy, and very clean! The beds were comfortable and everything in the house was in working order. We spent almost as much time on the upstairs balcony as we did on the beach. The location is a great one if you enjoy peace and quiet. We will rent the S S Minnow again.

    Best beach location we have ever had in Fort Morgan. We had great weather this year. Perfect beach for dog owners and other renters are always so friendly. Beach is always breathtaking.

    Location was good, close to the beach, although the weather wasn’t that good for us to get some sun. Much cooler and windier than last year. The home could use some maintenance, screens ripped, paint chipping off cabinet one of the sliding doors hard to lock. Tv needs to have instructions on which controls to use. There were 3 and only needed 2. Blinds were broken. With this being said we enjoyed our stay, not sure if we are coming back to gulf shore, maybe try someplace new. Thank you.
