We absolutely loved this condo! It was the perfect size for our family of 4. The location of the resort was also perfect!! We loved all the amenities, especially the hot tubs. It’s right on the beach so sitting on the balcony for coffee in morning was amazing! We would definitely recommend this place and we will definitely come back!

Spring break
This property is perfect for family beach time. The condo was a little dark and dated, but the location was very convenient. The king bed in the unit was not very comfortable and had sharp edges that slices your knees when you bump into it. The property managers were very responsive when a small repair was required in the unit. We would stay here again.

everything about this property was amazing! this was our first time to the gulf and I really wanted our experience to be comfortable and memorable. the condo was extremely clean. it had every amenity you could think of and even ones you didn't. the shores were right out our window and literally steps away. the grounds were kept, staff friendly, and overall awesome. we will definitely be back, this place feels like home!

Perfect getaway
This was our first time staying at Fort Morgan and coming to Gulf Shores Alabama. We loved it. The condo was perfect for our family of 4. We have 2 kids, 4 and 2. The twin beds were great and having such close access to the beach and having a pool onsite was clutch for us. We will definitely be coming back! Also- look into Beach Moms!!! That saved our life!!

Two Bedroom Two Bath condo on the beach was very clean and comfortable upon arrival. Even though located on the side of the building, the view was great. It was a short walk down the pier to the beach. Plenty of Umbrellas w/chairs to rent. At night, the bed was very comfortable. The response from the lease office was quick when we had questions. No problems arrose during our stay. We do recommend this condo as a Do Over.

Condo Review
I loved the proximity to the beach and ease of booking as well as check in. The unit was well stocked with everything needed for vacation. The only thing that could be added would be beach equipment or at least a beach cart. I did rent a cart with Gulf Coast Rental Co. The decor is nice, would be nice to have darker curtains in bedroom to sleep in if want to. The bed is on the softer side if you like soft beds. I was not happy to see 2 roaches, there is a restaurant in this building so not sure if that is a contributing factor? There was sand still on the floors, nice to have a vacuum provided. We enjoyed our stay overall.

Nice condo, nice side view of the gulf. Kitchen nicely supplied. Surface look it is clean but could use a deep clean, oven & oven racks, kitchen cupboards inside & out.Would recommend providing bath mat in each bath. Tile slippery with wet feet upon getting g out of shower.Felt property office staff would rather be elsewhere than being at the office. Guard gate staff helpful & friendly. Opposite of condo office person.

The location is great! Beach access was close. Beach was clean and not over crowded with soft sand. On site restaurant was good but pricey. Close Dollar General was used a lot. Furniture and decor was great except bathrooms were outdated. Room was clean on arrival, but twice we saw roaches in the kitchen. This would be the only reason that I would not return to this unit. We parasailed and visited the nearby Track for kids activities. I never spoke to owner. Dealt with on site office when I needed to change stay dates. I don’t know how easy it would have been to contact owners. I booked through Expedia app.

This is an aging resort and the management is trying to squeeze the last dollar out of the property. Negative: Nickle and dimed1.You will not be told that beach towels are not provided at the beach resort condo so be sure to bring your own2.There will be no Kleenex so bring your own3.You will get one trash bag for an entire week so bring extra4.Two loads of laundry costs 10 so be prepared for that and it’s not in the unit5.If you have kids under 12 they are not allowed to use the hot tubs, the management company will not tell you that before you book6.Kids under 16 are not allowed to use the workout facilities, you will not be told that before you book7.While we were there, the outdoor hot tub was broken, and it looked like it had been for a long time8.The floor of the condo was covered in sand, I had to sweep every room upon arrival9.The living room rug had not been vacuumed and there was human hair and other grime on it, fortunately there is a vacuum in the unit so you can do the job yourself10.Dana the customer service rep will gaslight you and tell you that your expectations and their lack of communication is your faultPositive: quiet and not crowded1.The building was quiet2.The wifi worked well3.The beach was very nice, lots of space4.Several pools with plenty of chairs5.Restaurant and coffee shop onsite6.Basketball, tennis, and pickle ball courtsThis place is not bad but you can do better, we will not be staying there again.
