Great accommodations!

Our family of 11 ranging from 6 years and up enjoyed this space tremendously. We had the perfect amount of space for us all to gather for meals and even enough space to have alone time. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked with many appliances and then some. The walk to the beach was short for it not being directly on the beach. Definitely will be booking this house again!

Very spacious, clean, stocked with all the amenities you could possibly need, extremely comfortable. There are beautiful views of the ocean from each balcony along with the use of 2 swimming pools when the salt water gets overwhelming. Definitely will seek this home out on our next vacation!!!

Orange Beach Cheer competition

Our friends & family group stayed for the weekend for a cheer competition at the Orange Beach Wharf. We were excited for all the bedrooms and so many king-sized beds. The only negative was the mattresses. For two nights we were good, but any longer would have been an issue for me in particular. Everything else was wonderful. Beautiful location, quick 30 minute drive to the Wharf. Very clear instructions for everything. Thanks for keeping such clear communication. We truly appreciate it. Hopefully, we will get to come back again next year!

Good house for large group

Had 17 people from 60s to 7 month old. House gave us plenty of room to spread out and everyone have space. Large kitchen and living area. Having access to the pools was fantastic as some of our little ones tired of the sand quickly. No major complaints. Did have a little ant issue, but they sent someone over the very next morning after I sent a message late the night before. So very responsive to issues.

Family Vacation

This was the perfect spot for our family vacation. With 7 kids and 7 adults, the home felt roomy but homey at the same time. We enjoyed the shared spaces but also loved having our own private bathrooms! The beach was super family friendly and an easy walk. It was also close to Walmart for groceries but the house came with everything else we needed. On our last night we had a pretty bad accident and the management company was super helpful and quick to communicate and help. Our only complaint was the pool- we only went once but the bathrooms were not open, there was no shade and the cleaning company came to pour chemicals in it as we were swimming so we had to leave. This was a great family trip and we will definitely be back!

Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We always come back to Morgantown. Access to the beach is easy and the beach is not crowded. This was our first stay at this property. It was very roomy. There is an upstair apartment that seemed a little odd at first but functioned well for us and might be nice for some situations. My only negative is the tennis courts. The development as a whole needs to have the courts redone. Completely resurfaced- not repaired. We attempted to play pickleball but the court surface has some weird underlayment and sucks the life out of the bounce. If you are a "real" tennis player- you will likely be disappointed.

Fort Morgan Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was very spacious and beautiful but there were some things that weren’t so good. The bedroom on the first floor closet to the stairs would not get cooler than 76-77 degrees with the thermostat set at 70-72, verified by maintenance inspection of HVAC and no change. The up stairs bedroom with bunk beds had dirty sheets which we washed upon arrival.Also we mopped the floor downstairs with swifter wet sheets which were black when we removed them( we had babies crawling around and their knees were black before we mopped!We appreciated Sunset trying to help with the AC problem, and our family still very much enjoyed our stay. Convenient beach access and loved the remote location. We would consider booking again. Thank you so much.

Great Stay. Small Feedback

Great place to stay for our family. Would stay here again. One small piece of feedback: I think you should add some more hand rail to the stairs from the garage area to the first living level. We had two 70 year olds that could have really used that. There is something to hold on to, but that's only for like half of the stairs.

We had a great time. The house had a good view of the beach and was just a minute walk down to the water. The house was clean and had plenty of room for the whole family to spend quality time together. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. The subdivision pools could have been a little cleaner but not sure that the fault of the house owner but the subdivision it’s self.

Fabulous Family Vacation Rental

Carousel was a great place to stay for our family. The house is very well equipped in the kitchen and the rooms are beautifully furnished. The bedrooms are a very nice size. The kitchen/eating/great room easily handled our group of 13. The beach is an easy 4 minute walk with the boardwalk very close. We loved the convenience of the carport area to wash off after being on the beach. Lots of places to hang wet things. Plenty of parking space too!! We would definitely stay again!

Amazing House

We stay in Ft. Morgan every year and this is by far the nicest house we have rented. Everything is decorated very nicely. The house has everything you can think of and more. The pictures don’t do it justice. The upstairs is perfect for a family with multiple kids. The extra refrigerator upstairs also came in handy with so many people! The house had tons of board games we enjoyed in the evenings and a big bin of beach chairs/toys to use. The beach is just a short walk. It was more crowded then I have ever seen it, on the beach, in Morgantown Subdivision so finding a spot was difficult. But having the boardwalk one house over made the walk easier…We all enjoyed the house and will definitely rent it again!
