Enjoyed our beach house stay.

This lovely beach home was beautifully decorated, and had everything a family would need to enjoy their vacation. The view of the ocean was perfect. We enjoyed the covered deck on hot days. The beds were very comfortable. We had a wonderful time, and hope to return next year.

Spotted Dolphins from deck

Highlights include the spotting of dolphins from the deck & on daily beach walks as well as at the pier at Fort Morgan. We took many hikes in Bon Secour & if you look closely, on the Gator Lake trail, you may see an Osprey nest in distance, closer are 2 Great Blue Heron nests near trail on lake side & an owl nest in distance with 2 babies, I’ve photos to prove it. Highly recommend Jesse’s on the Bay for lunch or dinner, sunsets at FM pier or beach. House was lovely, very clean, well supplied, beds comfortable. We’d stay again for sure.

Wonderful stay in Fort Morgan

This property was one of our best places to stay in Fort Morgan and reasonably priced for a last minute booking! The location was just a short walk to the beach so it was kid friendly and the fur babies loved it too! The view was great and the house had everything you need to enjoy our vacation! We will definitely stay here again! Thank you!!

Booking for the 3rd time when we get home

This is our 5th year staying in Fort Morgan and our second time staying at The Escape Plan! This is the only vacation rental we have ever rebooked and we are getting ready to book again for next year! This house is in a perfect location. You step off of the stairs and into sand! Fort Morgan on Spring break is amazing and not busy at all! It’s like you have your own private beach. The views from the porch are amazing, the storage closet has beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, and a wagon for easy transport of anything you would like to take to the beach that day! The house is the most well stocked house we have ever stayed in. It’s like you are vacationing in Star’s house. Everything you might need! The updates from last year are beautiful! We can’t wait to come next year and will be counting down the days from now until then! Thanks Star for an amazing 2nd year in Fort Morgan!

We loved The Escape Plan!

This beach house is so pretty, clean, well-stocked, and the view of the Gulf is amazing! The owner is very accessible & great to work with. The beds are comfortable and the deck is great to sit & look at the Gulf at all hours! The beach is only steps away on your own private path and beach. It is pet friendly which was great for us too. We hope to definitely be back!

Perfect Getaway

This house was a perfect place to stay for our family vacation. The views of the beach from the windows and porch are absolutely wonderful. The house has a large porch with abundant sitting, perfect for eating and just relaxing. The inside of the home was clean and beautifully decorated. The house contained everything we needed and more. You can tell the host really cares about their guest. The host also checked in multiple times to see if everything was god upon arrival as well as if we needed anything. Definitely will stay there again.

Host profile image
I purchased this lovely beach house in August of 2018. Of all the homes I looked at, this was the only one that provided a "beach front" view from the spacious back porch and I instantly fell in love.

We wanted to create a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere for all who come to visit and we hope you find it as refreshing as we do.

My family has poured our hearts & soul into keeping our home perfect for your vacation stay.
My daughter Nataly & sister, Vickie shares in management of the Escape Plan VRBO site.
