Annual Family Beach Trip

We stay here every Summer. We prefer Fort Morgan because it's not crowded but still has places to eat, a marina and stores if you need something. Song of The Sea is a great house close to the beach and our entire family loves going there each Summer ( the grandkids want us to buy it😂)

Beach Getaway

My family and I loved this beach house! The property was close to the beach and the house was warm and inviting. The house was very roomy and could accommodate a family get together very well. Much thanks to the James family for allowing us to stay here.

Family fun

Our family had a great time at the Song of the sea It’s a short walk to the beach and the big cart that’s available made it easy. The house itself was nice but could use a few upgrades. Overall we loved it

What a vacation!!!

This was our 7th summer to stay in Fort Morgan and 2nd time to stay at Song of the Sea. This house has it all . . . a great kitchen, lots of room to spread out, fantastic decks to relax on, outdoor shower, extra refrigerator downstairs, beach cart and a short walk to the beach. What more could you ask for?!!! We will definitely be back.

First Trip to Fort Morgan

The house was great! It was clean, comfortable, and a very close walk to the beach. It truly felt like a home away from home. The property owner, Tommy, was very responsive. There is also a restaurant with good food, Tacky Jacks, super close to the house where we could get take out. This was our first VRBO experience, and we hope all will be this pleasant. We made a lot of good memories with our boys even during Covid.

Family Vacation 2023

The house was beautiful and well furnished. There was enough space for our family to spread out and not be on top of each other. The shower downstairs was a great bonus to eliminate a lot of the sand so the kids did not track it into the house. It was so peaceful to sit out on one of the decks in the morning and drink coffee while listening to the waves of the ocean. The downstairs picnic tables and lights made a great bonus for when extended family came for our seafood boil. My family enjoyed this house so much we are already deciding on a time and date to book for next years family vacation. The owner Tommy was extremely helpful and accommodating when we arrived early. He also took care of the cable issue and had the technician right out. Thank you from our family for letting us stay at your beautiful home. Can’t wait to see you next year.

Great Beach House

This house is great! It is in a great location and has everything you could need. It’s just a short walk to the beach and you can leave everything on the beach and no one messes with anything. The owner has the best beach cart to tote your stuff out there, plus they have chairs, umbrellas, and sand toys for the kids. A big plus is a refrigerator for fishing bait down stairs and for drinks and etc so you are not walking up and down stairs. Plenty of seating up and down stairs. We had 3 little boys and they had plenty of room to run and play and had the best time. Mr. James was the best and we got there early and helped us out so we could get in early with the food. Thanks for the best trip! We had a blast!

The property was well maintained, convenient, and beautiful! We had trouble with the upstairs air conditioning, but the owner contacted a repair company and it was up and running the same night. We had a fabulous trip with our kids and grands!

Great beach house!!

I have nothing bad at all to say about this beach house. Pictures just don't do it justice. The walk to the beach isn't bad at all, and there is a very nice view on the top balcony where we would sit and feel the ocean breeze in the evenings. The owners are super helpful and answered any and all of our questions in a very timely manner. My entire family absolutely loved our time here and can't wait to stay here again!

Great Place

So much covered outdoor space - we love sitting outdoors when we are at the shore and love when there's a roof so we can do it all day. And under the house was concrete with picnic tables and lots of chairs so it was like a second living room. The beds were comfortable, the walk to the beach was so easy, and our family of 8 just loved everything about this property.

The beach house was great. Had a lot of room and tons of sitting places inside and out. The beach was basically 3 doors down and in a not crowded area. I would definitely rent this house again.
