Beach Stay

This property was perfect for our family! The house was right on the beach and so convenient for enjoying time on the sand...the beach was a very short walk away from the house which was convenient for my elderly Mom! The kitchen was also well stocked and there were plenty of towels to go around! We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be booking again in the future!

We had the best time at Dancing With the Waves! House was clean, kitchen had everything, beds were comfortable, AC got super cool. The big windows in the living room were amazing. Photos don’t do it justice. We will definitely be back!

Memorial weekend/vacation. 2nd time visiting!

This place is our PARADISE, approximately 14 hours from our home! We had to bring the newest grandson and show him ourselves what beach life is like. Everyone in the family enjoyed themselves even more this time! Comfortable furniture, we relaxed on the deck lots. Such a dream to cook in the Kitchen and watch the ocean! We saw lots of dolphins this time! And rode so many waves on the boogie board! We left with a great tan and memories for a lifetime.

BEST PLACE IN FORT MORGAN!

We came to the beach with our Boxer dog and two teenage girls. This house was PERFECT! Absolutely loved staying in Ft. Morgan away from all the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, where we usually stay. The house layout is awesome and I felt like I could see the beach from all but one room in the house! Hosts provided everything we needed and it was so easy to check in and out. I loved having our own little stretch of beach and being able to run back up to the house if need be without feeling like I had to pack everything up. This house was just what we needed for our family!! Even my husband commented that he’d never stayed at a nicer place! Also was extremely pleased with all the “dog-friendliness” of Ft. Morgan. Thanks for making our stay PERFECT!! This house will be our new “go to” for beach trips!

Summer beach trip

Great location and a great house. Will probably be back. Only complaint is the ice maker in the fridge didn't work. Always have to get bag ice for the beach, but it's nice to have an ice maker for drinks inside. Anyway, it was great.

A Slice of Heaven in Alabama

Words cannot adequately express the beauty of the Dancing With the waves property! The inside is lovely and comfortable. The master bath is amazing! The ocean facing windows allow in so much natural light. You really feel like you are in your own little island! The kitchen is spacious and has a gorgeous island with plenty of seating. I love staying in Fort Morgan because of the quietness of the community and family friendly atmosphere. My group of 4 loved our stay and are already talking about booking for next March!

We wanted steps from the beach.. Enough room for 7-8 adults and a few kids, less Crowds and plenty of space to cook and eat. This was it! Zero disappointment.. Very pet friendly! Everything we wanted plus located in a beautiful area. We will be back!

Paradise

This property is absolutely beautiful! If you are looking for a peaceful vacation away from all of the hustle and the crowded beaches this is it. The house has enough room that a family of eight will have plenty of room and will never feel like your crowding each other. The beach has easy access and the best part is you didn't have to fight for a spot. Loved the property and if I could give it more than 5 stars I would give it a 10.

Now our favorite vacation spot

First of all, we loved that the house was so near to oceanside, and secondly we love the house itself. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect vacation, and so perfect that we will be checking availability to return to "Dancing with the Waves" next year.

Weathering tropical storm Alberto

A very nice beach house with a great location. We've been renting beach houses in Fort Morgan for over twenty years and I think this house sat closer to the water than any other. We were there during tropical storm Alberto and red, white and blue "Old Glory" waved proudly through all the high wind. We had a very good time and appreciated the weather updates from VRBO. We would recommend the house and will rent it again in the future.

The property needed some updates. The views were fantastic!

The house wasn’t cleaned very well. The floor in the kitchen was sticky. The cabinets are old and needed a good cleaning. I read it was just purchased by a new owner. I guess they will do some updating in the future. The views were fantastic and we enjoyed our stay. Was there for a month. I liked having the flag hanging outside on the deck. The stairs on the deck were difficult to carry luggage and groceries up. It would help to have reflective tape on them at night. I don’t mean to sound so negative about the house. I’m just making a few suggestions. I would stay there again.

only problems was the internet / wifi fi never worked the entire time. I called the property manger and numerous texts about it. They seemed to think I was no good at computers but work on these daily for my job. It wasn't me or family, it was something wrong with the system, gear or other. I had some deadlines for work while getting to be able to go on this trip at last minute and was only able to make them by using my husbands cell as a hot spot in order to get our laptop to work. Thus using and having overage of data. Therefore costing me more money now that I am back. Other than that house was good.
