In December 2019, we finished a 2 month-long renovation of this beautiful home. So if you've looked before - please look again! This house now has 4 KING bedrooms and 1 BUNK Room that sleeps up to 8 children. New tile flooring, new paint, new mattresses and more! Pictures coming on 1/11/2020

The Great Room – which is incredibly spacious and inviting - has a huge leather couch; love seat and very comfortable recliners. It’s a great place to congregate, after a day in the sun, in front of the large flat-screen Smart TV. A Blu-Ray Player and DVD Player are provided for your use. Board and card games are also provided.

The Kitchen is huge and readily accommodates a number of cooks (or helpers). Two Refrigerators (one housed in the Laundry Room); an ice machine, which makes 35 pounds of ice per day; dishwasher; stove/oven and microwave are provided; as well as every imaginable small kitchen appliance. The Kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, glassware, mixing bowls, pots and pans and silverware.

The round dining table comfortably seats 6; with seating for another 6 at the Kitchen island bar; and another 6 at the unique dolphin table. For outdoor dining, a teak table, that seats 8, is conveniently located on the Deck, right outside the Great Room door. A large gas griddle is a great place to cook up burgers, hotdogs, steaks or even pancakes! A charcoal grill is also provided, under the house, as well as a picnic table.

A large Master King Suite is conveniently located just steps away from the Great Room and has amazing views to the east and towards the beach. The Master Bath has a fabulous jetted tub; separate shower, long single vanity and walk-in closet.

The second Master King Suite is located on the top floor and has direct access to the Balcony, through French doors. The Balcony is a great place to drink your morning coffee; or talk late into the night with family and friends. The Master Bath is massive and also has a jetted tub, separate shower, and long double vanity, and walk in closet.

Two additional King Bedrooms: one located on the main floor, and the one upstairs has direct Balcony access through French doors. Both bedrooms have closets and flat-screen Smart TVs. The downstairs King room has access to a full bathroom in the hallway, with a shower/tub combo. The King room upstairs shares a hall bathroom, also with a shower/tub combo, with the Bunk Room.

A brand new Bunk Room is located upstairs, with two Full size Bunk Beds - top and bottom, which can accomodate up to 8 children. This room also has a flat screen Smart TV and a closet.

The upstairs Loft is a great conversation area, game area or place for kids to hang out. A Smart TV allows the young or young-at-heart to play most gaming systems or simply catch up on your favorite shows. Plenty of games and puzzles located in the cabinet and in the downstairs entertainment center. A folding table and chairs are stored in the Bunk Room and can be used for board games or puzzles!

There is a Queen Sleeper Sofa in the Loft and another one in the Great Room. For your reading enjoyment, a massive collection of books are on the bookshelves. “Take one, leave one” is all we ask.

A full size Washer and Dryer are located in the Laundry Room. Towels, wash cloths, beach towels, linens, pillows and comforters are provided for no additional fee. A second refrigerator is located in the Laundry Room.

The large Deck is a great place for sunning, playing or catching up with family and friends. Beach toys galore, including sandcastle-making tools, Frisbees, noodles, boogie boards and more are provided for the young and young-at-heart! Feel free to take our lounge chairs with you to the beach each day; but please bring them back each evening, as summer is Sea Turtle Nesting Season and when those mommas come ashore at night, they can get tangled in stuff left behind. May through August – for no additional charge - our guests are provided a 10’ X 20’ Beach Canopy that is professionally installed and maintained.

The Sand Dune Walkover is conveniently attached to the Deck and allows you and your gear to get down to the beach with little effort. Part way down, a seating area, is the perfect place to watch the sun rise or set. Plan to spend at least one early morning enjoying the ever-changing colorful sunrise. Every 90 seconds a different color palette and pattern appear.

Two fabulous community swimming pools and two incredible tennis courts, are all within walking distance of our beach house and are securely passcode protected.

So if you’re planning to “Beach Bum” it all week, or want daily adventures by land or by sea, Susan’s Sand Castle I, is the perfect place to be! Contact us now to find out when your group can have your next beach adventure!

May through mid-August, Bookings must be Saturday to Saturday. Thanksgiving and Christmas Weeks have the same Saturday to Saturday Requirements. Other than that, there is a 4 night minimum, with flexibility for days of the week for Check-In.

This beach house is perfect for Family Reunions; Vacations with Family/Friends; Weddings; Corporate Retreats; Girfriend Get-Aways; Guys Deep Sea Fishing Week; and more! Snowbirds are welcome to contact us about renting by the month. There is a $1,500.00 surcharge for weddings/events.

We have so many loyal returning guests for all three of our beach houses that our Reservation Calendar fills up quickly for peak times and they often reserve their week years in advance , but we love to make new friends and welcome your inquiry. We do our best to respond in under an hour, but because we don't recharge on coffee alone - we do try to sleep at some point, therefore will respond to late night inquiries first thing the next morning.

We are currently accepting reservations through the end of 2021. Rates not yet set for 2022.

    Five stars all around. We had a great stay. One of the most well stocked homes we’ve ever stayed in and the check-in process, access to the beach, and overall quality of the home were great. Will definitely return here if/when the opportunity presents itself.

    Susan's Sand Castles are the best properties in Ft Morgan. Janie the property manager is VERY responsive even after hours. The upstairs AC unit went out and she had a repairman there within an hour!

    We loved this house and the hospitality of the owners/managers! The only wish would be for there to be some type of baby/pet gate that would close off the stairs, ramp off of the porch. Thanks for a great place to visit!!

    This beautiful home was the perfect place for our family to vacation. My 80+ year old parents were able to access the home and beach without using the stairs. Their master suite was located on the main level. The shaded canopy was just steps away from the ramp to the beach. The children (one as young as 18 months) had plenty of beach toys to play with. The home was a wonderful place to make memories.

    This is a beautiful home for our family of 12 this past week. The home was clean and very well equipped for our needs. The boardwalk to the beach was wonderful and convenient to come and go as we please. The beach canopy set up was greatly appreciated as well and we used it everyday! Our kids had a blast at the big pool and playing in the sand everyday. Thank you Susan and Jerry for a very relaxing and memorable stay! We greatly appreciate it!
