Family Vacation

We enjoyed our stay in this house so much. The house was clean and plenty big enough for all of our family. It’s been years since we have visited Fort Morgan and we will definitely be back. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Perfect for our Family

This beautiful beach house was perfect for our family. Nicely decorated and furnished. Large, open living/dining/kitchen area was great for eating, watching TV, playing games and just hanging out. Each of the four bedrooms had its own bath and the primary bedroom and bath were extra special. Plenty of seating both inside and outside on the spacious deck. The only downside was the walk to the beach was a little long for my husband and I who are in our 70’s but the younger folks in our family didn’t mind at all. The owners of Turtle Bay have definitely gone the extra mile to make sure their guests are comfortable and have everything they need for a great beach vacation.

Nice place great location not kept up by management company

We liked the house itself and location. The master bath is beautiful and the layout is very family friendly. But many things in disrepair. Towel bar falling off wall, missing door knob in closet, cooking utensils were horrible old falling apart, broken blender. The tub in one bath was full of dirty water when we arrived, no lamp in one bedroom, no bedside table in another bedroom, one lamp in living room, couches stained, rug stained, towels super cheap and thin, the few pillows that were there were small lumpy and smelled. Broken blinds, broken door knob to deck, missing light bulbs, beds are not comfortable and one bed the box spring and the mattress make this really obnoxious noise every time you moved. With all of this the worst was the presence of black mold of which I have pics. It was in two baths which the maintenance man came to fix by spraying bleach on it. I am from the deep south and I can assure you I have never had, nor have the hairy crawling mold that was present in this rental. I did ask the maintenance man to fix the items that he could to which he hesitated as he had not received a ticket to do the repairs but he did do it. We were not told the mold was in the house when we arrived to check in. After he came to “fix” the mold, two days later it reappeared in two other places one being a light fixture. The house has a problem in the ventilation system that needs to be addressed. I immediately addressed the management company Beachball properties to which I received no response. I did get a list of what needed to be done upon departure with threat of further charges if not completed by 10am. I did call Beachball about my stay and over 3 weeks made numerous calls to which I was was told by the manager I would receive a phone call after he researched the issue (I did not get a return call so I had to call again 5 days after he said he would get back to me, to be told he was not available) I did talk to him several hours later to which he told me it was mildew and "they" fixed my issues so what was my problem. I told him I would never rent from him again and he replied good and said good bye. I expect a clean, well maintained, well stocked property without MOLD black green or otherwise. Be very wary when renting from this company. Owners you should find a new company to represent your home. FYI I called VRBO about this issue, sent pics to be told I had to work it out with the management company. Fees paid to VRBO for what?

Excellent Spot and our new summer destination!!!

My family consist of my wife and I, 2 daughters, 2 son in laws and 5 grandchildren ( 11yo to 1 yo ). We traveled from Illinois and arrived around 5pm. Check in was smooth, house was beautiful, with the right amount of space. Plenty of space to spread out, a nice deck and a fun 5 minute walk to the beach. The property is located 10 minutes from the Ft. Morgan historical site ( Highly recommend ) and 30 minutes from Orange Beach, which had great places to eat and shop. We enjoyed being able to relax, grill, sit on the deck, and hang out on the beach. We only had one issue and that was with the dish tv. However, this was due to something beyond the properties control and they made EVERY effort to fix this. I highly recommend this property and will most definitely be back in 2022!!

Great location and property!

We enjoyed our stay in this cute and comfy house! It was very clean upon arrival, had most items we needed to cook for a family of 10 and the view of the water was a plus! Owners sent a special Easter treat which was an added bonus and very kind. We did need to call about WiFi password and connection as our welcome packet was missing but everything was sorted out in a timely manner. They must’ve gotten a new grill since last review and we used it a few times. The outdoor shower was a plus with the on demand hot water tank. The ice maker was the best surprise as we had an ice fanatic in our family! We will be looking into buying one now. Overall comfy and cutely decorated- well stocked and we added a few kitchen utensils for the next family! Out of all the rentals we’ve used this one is tops for us!
