Could be better

The house wasn’t perfectly clean when we got there- a spill on the counter, fingerprints on the glass tables, and sand on the bunk beds and kitchen table. The house is older, so it isn’t as new as the pictures would lead you to think, but it is nicely decorated. We could tell the owners of the property don’t stay there, due to simple inconveniences that should be addressed. The TV was very finicky and it took us 30 minutes just to get it on. Apparently the last renters had unplugged some things, probably trying to get it to work. There was only one dish towel and one dish rag in the whole kitchen. The hose on the porch, for rinsing sand, was busted. Some kitchen cooking items were dirty, the dishwasher smelled awful (we handwashed all items), and we also had some ants. Some pros were the screened in porch, a Keurig that wasn’t listed in the description, a variety of beach items to use, and clean bathrooms.

Peaceful

You’d think that it would feel crowded on a holiday weekend - but the Rustic Retreat delivered quiet relaxation! We especially loved the awesome bed swing on the lower porch.

Great view.

This was a very nice property with a beautiful view! We loved the screened porch. The furniture was all comfortable and clean in the living area and on the porch. The bed in the main bedroom was also very comfortable. The kitchen was large and stocked well with an added bonus of a stand alone ice maker. There is a great swing under the house to enjoy the cool breeze. A very nice uncrowded beach is just a walk down the road and over a sand dune. It was nice to go down to the beach early in the morning and then again late evening. Guests have access to beach items stored at the property. The wagon to haul your stuff down to the beach was another added bonus. Good communication with the owners. All questions were answered promptly. Don't hesitate to book this property.

About the host

Hosted by Linda McCrary

We purchased this home spring of 2016. We have loved traveling to this area for approximately 17 years. We love the uncrowded beach setting as well as watching sunsets and love watching stars at night just as they come out. We enjoy the great food, playing tennis on some great clay courts. We have spent vacations with our children and grandchildren at Ft. Morgan the last four summers . We all love watching the dolphins from the beach, fishing from both the beach and boat. It's just a great area for family vacationing. Kids loved the beach, collecting shells, sightseeing and shopping. We all love the great seafood.

Why they chose this property

We like the fact that the beach in this area is more secluded, and not wall to wall people like so many areas. It is a great place for families

What makes this property unique

This is an older home with large rooms. It has a very open feel. So many of the houses that are available to rent have very small rooms and no storage. There is a closet in each bedroom, plenty of seating and a nice screened in porch where you can sit at night and listen to the waves. If you like, we've furnished an air bed to sleep on the screened porch. We have a griddle, crock pots and there is an electric patio heater if you come in the cooler months.
