Just enough room for a short stay

Nice clean property with security and private beach access for resort guest only. Was not informed of a parking pass fee until booked and it is in Fort Morgan not Gulf Shores. There is a resturant on site which is convenient. So if your beach junkies your good, if not, your 30 min out from any activities, shops and resturants. We would stay here again.

Small, but cozy

We were in Gulf Shores/Fort Morgan for my daughter's cheer camp, I originally had another condo reserved that was closer to her camp location, but they canceled on me last minute. Luckily I was able to book this one in time, AND it was only 5mins away from her cheer camp location where she was staying. I was so happy! The condo is small, it says it's a studio and it is! But it was perfect for me. There could be some updates to bathroom, but everything worked and was clean when I arrived. You still have everything you need: coffee maker, stove/oven, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, utensils, pots and pans. I honestly can't complain with the price, last minute booking, and being so close to the beach! There's a restaurant on site that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Fort Morgan First

After several visits to the Alabama shore nearer Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, we thoroughly enjoyed the quiet, unhurried stay at Fort Morgan. Our studio was the perfect size for two adults and was very thoughtfully appointed. Not having to load the car and travel to a beach was the best! Just a short walk to the sand was so relaxing. We will be back!

Minimal relaxation

First off I will start by saying the part thatโ€™s on me is I forgot we had to stop by the office to get the keys. Being this property is 30 minutes from the office and it was 10pm having to drive back to get the key was a pain HOWEVER we drove back and picked up the envelope FOR A DOOR CODE. Why could this have not been emailed the day of? Heck text me the door code at check in time. There is no logical reason this day and age that I have to stop at an office to get a code to the door. Second- this is a small studio unit- which we knew and was fine- EXCEPT - there is no bathroom door ๐Ÿ˜… like to the toilet. You are in a closet size room with no door to do your business- there is a curtain. I guess if you and your partner donโ€™t mind going to the bathroom within earshot of each other youโ€™ll be fine, however thatโ€™s not our jam so we would leave the room for the other to go peacefully. Husband said he highly recommends the bathroom down by the sauna as thatโ€™s where he went for his bathroom visits. The bed was also SUPER squeaky just for sleeping. Like every time you moved the slightest bit youโ€™re waking up. The property itself was great and the pools were fine. I just think if we decide to stay near this area again I will def do more research on the accommodations.

Couples get away

Great room even though itโ€™s on the 7th floor and at the very end of the hallway . Definitely have it saved so we can get the same room next year ! Just a warning for those who canโ€™t sleep with sunlight , very bright room . We loved it though , waking up and the first thing youโ€™d see is sunshine and sand!

A lot of minor inconveniences

*Room was very clean and perfect size for a couple on vacation. *There was nothing major that was wrong, but a lot of minor inconveniences we dealt with ended up being annoying when we were trying to enjoy our vacation. *Check in wasnโ€™t great. I received the initial emails sent by the property management company, but not the latter emails supposedly sent to me that contained how to check in. None of those emails were in my spam folder either so Iโ€™m not sure what was up there, but we had to rush back to the companyโ€™s office to get our key to get in before they closed. This wouldnโ€™t have been an issue if the property wasnโ€™t 20 minutes off the beaten path. *If you are the type of people who are out and about on your vacation, then I would consider elsewhere. We spend very little time in the room and itโ€™s a 20 minute drive on a one lane road just to get back into town. Then however much time it takes to get where youโ€™re going. It took us at least 30 minutes to get anywhere or do anything every time we left the property. There were gas stations and little restaurants close, but they weren't open until the evening time. There was a restaurant at the property, the Sassy Bass, that had wonderful food, but inconsistently open. *The door knob was not secure and was very loose. We called maintenance so they were aware. Somebody did come fix it, but then the bottom lock on the door knob didnโ€™t lock into place, so you could still open the door even though it was locked. *The shower didnโ€™t drain which was pretty gross after spending the morning at the beach. We had to wait a while for it to drain and rinse the tub out before my husband could shower. *The keys to the property are actual keys which didnโ€™t bother us, but the amenities (workout room, pool, laundry, sauna, etc.) needed a key card to access which wasnโ€™t provided to us. My husband called the first day we were there to inform them of us needing a key card and they said they werenโ€™t aware of that and didnโ€™t have one, but would try to get one. We called the property management company 3 more times but never got a key card, so we had to ask other people to give us access to the amenities which was aggravating. *As I said the room was very clean, but the side of the fridge was nasty and looked like it hadnโ€™t been cleaned in a while. They did have a broom to sweep, but no dust pan, so I just kept sweeping the dirt into a pile in the corner.

It is on a two lane road and they were doing road construction. It was a long drive to everything. Also there was no where to hang clothes, no broom, and no door on bathroom.

Extremely disappointed

Upon entering the condo the building hallway had trash and dirty floors and smelled funny. Once in the actual studio condo the smell worsened. It smelled like cigarette smoke and mold mixed. The floors werenโ€™t clean and the linens all smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. The fridge was dirty as well as the dishes. We had to come in and clean our condo thatโ€™s how our vacation started. The bed was beyond uncomfortable. I could go on and on. We purchased some air freshener and left it there for coming guest bc we fear the mold smell isnโ€™t going anywhere. The condo could really use a fresh coat of paint. It was very worn and dingy looking. Extremely disappointed.
