    Adorable and clean little house! We loved that it was pet friendly (including the beach), that the beach was just a short walk down the road, and that the washer and dryer was full size and easy access. We liked sitting outside on the deck after the evening storms while we were there. The bathroom is small but we are hefty folks and had no problems with it. The dog loved making the circle through the house checking on everyone. We loved the big kitchen island, we could keep our snacks on it, prepare food, everyone had room to eat, etc. If I had any complaints it was the dead bolt, we had a terrible time getting it open and never could get it closed again. If there was a trick to it, we never figured it out. But other than that minor issue, everything was great!

    It was absolutely amazing. My two boys and I and our dog stayed for three nights. Just a three minute walk to the beach. Would definitely stay there again.

    My mom, daughter and I had the most fun at this property. Barely a walk to the beach. So close to the activities we love while in Ft. Morgan. The hosts were extremely helpful and kind!

    What a nice place for a quick get away! I’ve had a goal for my senior dog to get to play in the ocean for a few years now. It’s been challenging because there are not many dog friendly beaches -and even then- it’s hard to find a homeowner who will allow a large breed dog. Even pet friendly rentals usually have a weight limit. Our senior age golden retriever really had the time of his life playing in the waves. The cost was affordable - something we could finally afford on our budget and still bring our dog. Next time I’ll buy some groceries on the way in. That will save lots more money. The restaurants there are great, but would’ve been smart to pack a picnic box for the beach. It’s a 2/3 minute walk on flat pavement until your feet hit the sand. The neighborhood is quiet and feels like where the “grown ups” go to vacation. No loud music or partying. People are respectful and quiet. I appreciated that. Not too crowded at the beach itself- you could “find your spot” and enjoy the area without feeling crowded. I didn’t realize until the day we left, homeowner has a closet under the house with a wagon, beach chairs, extra bbq grill, styrofoam ice chest, crab pot and a few beach toys. Next time I’ll bring groceries, a beach umbrella, charcoal/lighter fluid and plan to stay longer. It was a great getaway trip and my big old dog says “thank you!”.

    I rarely leave reviews but this property is definitely a mixed bag. Easy walk to beach, well stocked kitchen. No internet, which as we had a guest from the UK and international data plans are so expensive, this was more than just a small inconvenience. The property owners are also over the top with communication. As in I didn’t respond through the VRBO app within 30 seconds and I was getting texts. Within a minute, I started getting phone calls and she kept calling until I answered-maybe the 4th/5th time? Then when I questioned the lengthy check out process (sweep/mop floors, wash sheets and have back on bed, clean the bathroom) as I had paid for the cleaning service which I feel should cover mopping, she called 15 times in a matter of minutes while we were trying to enjoy the beach. The excessive nature of the property owners more than make this property not worth it. I’m on vacation-call once, leave a message and I will return calls when I’m not trying to spend time with my family. The only time we had peace was after I blocked the number (25 calls/close to as many texts) and I also feel VRBO should do a better job at protecting customer information and force contact through their app. We have been taking beach vacations for 20 years and have never had a stay quite like this one.

    Had a good time surf fishing. Just a short walk to the beach where we were able to enjoy walks with our dog. Owner was very prompt to reply to any questions.
