We saw wild dolphins in the Gulf every single day. You really can't beat the ocean right at your back door.

Morning Glory Fall Break

The house is very close to the west end and sits right on the water. It was very cool being they close to the water, however, the beach is not very wide there. The house is older and could use a few updates. There was very little extras like garbage bags, dishwashing soap and garbage bags.

Beautiful Location

The house is in an awesome location if the beach is what you’re looking for!! Plenty of space for our group. The kitchen is well stocked and a nice starter pack for the first few days was a nice touch. We saw dolphins right from the back deck a truly amazing place!!

Loved the island.

The house could use some updates. The sliding doors in the front bedrooms would only open about 4 inches. The two sliders in front room only one opened. And it was very hard. The glass on all were hazed over bad. Many of the floor tiles were cracked. We still enjoyed the stay. Who wouldn’t with it right in the golf. But it needs some updating.
