Overall, the stay was great.Family really loved it!! The neighborhood is going through lots of renovations on the road. We go down every year and stay in Fort.Morgan. I would recommend anyone to stay here. It was a great location, great house. If youAre not looking for being right on the beach, but are willing to drive to the beach. I would note that it is a little bit of a walk from this home to the beach access.That the neighborhood provides, if you're willing to walk.
