Fun family & friends vacation
This home was perfect for our group of 8!! The pool was amazing and the beach was close and peacefully calm. There are body boards, umbrella, beach chairs and sand toys for you to use. There is plenty of seating on the deck around the pool. It’s s about 20 mins back into town for restaurants, groceries, things to do (waterpark, go karts, mini golf). Parlor doughnuts and the hangout were some of our favorites. I highly recommend taking the ferry to dauphin island. They have a great little aquarium there and fort Gaines to explore. Then travel a few miles into town for lunch! This was the perfect kick start to our summer!! Thank you again for sharing your beautiful home with us. If we ever head back to gulf shores, this is where we are staying!

We had a wonderful time staying at this property! The house was clean, comfortable and spacious. The proximity to the beach was great and having the pool was a bonus even though it was still a little chilly when we were there. We were traveling with 2 small kids so the distance from town was not always convenient for us, however if you’re looking to be away from the busyness of Gulf Shores it was a great spot. We loved how quiet it was and would definitely stay again!

Traveled here to find a quiet beach during spring break for the family. Lots of sun, and ghost crab hunting. Recommend going to fort Morgan at the end of the road was a fun cool fort and nice beach. Saw dolphins every day right off the beach. The house was clean, very nice and had stuff even we didn't think to bring. Awesome spot didn't want to go home

Great House
We very much enjoyed our stay! The owner contacted us before we arrived to let us know there were a few items that needed to be addressed. Everything was fixed within an hour of us being there. The house is updated, close to the beach and the pool was a nice bonus.
We did leave a day early because of the forest fire. We did not want to get stranded if the roads closed. This obviously was not the owner’s fault. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Beach Getaway
This is the second year we have stayed at the property and we have enjoyed all that it provides. It is a modern, secluded home that is a 20-minute drive from the traffic of Gulf Shores. It is a < 1 minute walk to a quiet stretch of beach. Great property for families.

Awesome property and great location
This was our 4th stay in Fort Morgan. We love Dream Big. It is the perfect size for our family. Brenda is quick and responsive to all questions. This trip we went to Naval Museum and a Blue Wahoos game. Also enjoyed a class with Sand Castle university, part of our group went to a concert at The Wharf, and did The Fun Boat dolphin cruise. Most days we spent enjoying the beach and pool. It was a great trip!

cozy, comfortable beach house
Loved staying in Fort Morgan for the first time. This house has easy access to a beautiful unspoiled beach with lots of privacy. The home is very clean and well stocked. The decor is calming and tastefully done. It is apparent that the owner has taken great care to anticipate the needs of her renters. Having a back deck with a private pool and lounging area was a much appreciated bonus! Highly recommend.

Fabulous views…Great house
The house is very clean and is just a short walk from the beach. We would definitely stay here again. The pool was great to spend the day lounging. However, the pool is not heated and is extremely cold. Also, the owners do not supply toilet paper. Basically, what is on the roll is what you get for the entire stay. So, be sure to bring your own. Overall, it is a fabulous house and we had a great vacation.

Great Location for a Quiet Beach Getaway
This property checked all the boxes for those wanting an updated property that away from the larger beach communities / resorts. While the property is about 20 minutes from town, it has all the amenities that you would require. The property is less than a two minute walk to the beach (ideal for kids), is large enough that a family of four had plenty of room to spread out, and is modern / clean. We would certainly stay here again. If booking this property my only recommendation is to bring extra tp, paper towel, and laundry detergent. The property only provides one roll per room and no detergent. This will prevent you from having to make the 20 minute drive back into Gulf Shores to get extra supplies.

Quiet Location with Easy Walk to the Beach
House was clean and lovely! Quiet location, short & easy walk to the beach! The back deck and pool was a wonderful area to to relax. Also enjoyed the two-storied porches with ocean views. Convenient outdoor showers to rinse off after beach trips. A little off the "beaten path" provided a quiet beach side atmosphere and just what our group was looking for. We ate at Sassy Bass Amazin Grill and Sassy Bass Cookout Tiki Bar, both only a few minutes from the house, and each member of our group would recommend both locations! Over all, we had a wonderful stay at this house!

Nice home, but make sure you document everything
Home was nice, walk to beach was easy. If your staying here, bring your own frying pan, all the frying pans were warped. Also bring a kitchen spatula, there wasn't one. And very importantly, document everything in the house before you move in. There was an ink stain on the couch when we got there, that the owner insists we did. Lesson learned, document to cover yourself. House doesn't allow smoking, of course most don't, but, one of my guest was a smoker , who apparently didn't always keep it outside. However she laid it on thicker and heavier by claiming additional damages that we absolutely did not cause, or were the result of regular wear and tear, such as walking on the floor.
She contacted me directly at first instead of going thru Vrbo, which I have since found out vrbo frowns on. This was my very first time to rent thru Vrbo. I doubt I ever will again.

Fantastic house with great location!
We have never stayed in Fort Morgan but decided to try it out this summer for our family vacation and we are so happy we did!! The area is beautiful and quiet and a great place to relax on vacation! We rented this house for my husband and I and our 2 young children and it was perfect!! Everything was exactly as the owner said it would be and the house was very clean when we arrived! Also very convenient to the beach (just a very short walk) and let me tell you that is so great when you have hot tired kids in tow after a day at the beach! The water hoses under the deck area right near the back door make everything super convenient to wash off before coming inside! The kitchen had everything we needed and more!
All in all a great stay and hope to stay at this house again next year!!

PERFECT.
Our family had the best vacation at Dream Big! We have stayed at many different vacation homes in several states. This house is by far the best. It felt like home. First, the location is great. It's not oceanfront, but it nearly is. The views of the ocean from the balconies are wonderful. The home is tastefully decorated. The owner, Brenda thought of everything a renter would need, and then some. The pool is an added bonus. Brenda was wonderful. Anytime I messaged her, she responded quickly. We will come back to Fort Morgan again and will definitely pick Dream Big to stay. Thank you, Brenda for sharing your beautiful home with our family!
