Great Quiet spot near the ocean

This place was just what we wanted! Plenty of space to spread out, in a quiet neighborhood, walking distant to the beach! Be prepared to climb stairs to lovely home! Small kitchen appliances that covered all our cooking needs. We cooked a good amount and found great local seafood nearby as well!

7th year staying in Morgantown; This was the best property we have stayed at.

We have been staying in Morgantown for the last 7 years and this property has become our favorite. The house was clean, airy, spacious well equipped kitchen (The kitchen was very nice) great location. We have two medium size dogs so we are always looking for pet friendly vacation rentals and this one was wonderful and nice and big and we were able to put their crates together in the dining room area which they loved. Really this was one of our best stays, would highly recommend this property, and would stay here again.

Highly recommend. We had 4 families and with everyone one having their own room with bathroom, we could not have asked for more. All amenities, short walk to beach. Community pool could have been nicer. Very quiet.

Property was great, very clean and convenient. The only issue we had is that the gear in the gear locker downstairs wasn’t in the best condition, but it sounds like it was included in the listing by accident.

Great Family Vaca House

Great house for a big family! There are two pools but one was closed for our whole stay. The beach is beautiful and clean. It is a nice little walk to the beach and pool but definitely not bad. Be prepared that the house is a decent drive to get to Gulf Shores but we didn't mind. The wifi wasn't the best but it was nice to disconnect and really enjoy family.

Happy as Clams at the Bees Knees

What a perfect week spent at the Bees Knees! Our family of ten loved our Fort Morgan vacation with coffee on the porch each morning, comfortable bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and an “ at home atmosphere” throughout the house. Our children loved spending time downstairs in their “ lounge” or swimming in the pools. We loved that there were spaces to be together or spaces to be alone. Harris Management was quick to respond to our questions and very pleasant. We can’t wait to go back!!

Great house

I stayed a week at this rental. This was a great place to celebrate a girls week with my mom. All the bedrooms are specious and each bedroom has access to a bath. The balcony allowed us to spend time outside looking toward the beach. We felt very safe staying here. We loved the open family room and kitchen. I am a repeat VRBO and Homeway user and this deserves to be on the top on the heap. Even though the location is off the beaten there are a few restaurants a few miles away. The beach is sandy white gorgeous.

Morgan Town Star

Lazy Latitudes has everything you need for a relaxing beach stay on Fort Morgan. The home is spacious with a terrific porch for morning coffee as the sun rises or an evening toast as the sun sets. Details that made things nice were the tile floors and a brand new broom/dustpan to quickly sweep up sand. The kitchen is large with many places to sit for a meal. Nice big closets to store your suitcase and hang up clothes. Morgan Town neighborhood is lovely with easy beach access, tennis/pickle ball courts and two pretty pools. Thank you for hosting!

Relaxing week

Great relaxing week. Kitchen has everything you could need. Short 1/4 mile walk to beach but would recommend anyone staying to BRING bug spray or have someone drive you to the boardwalk especially with little ones. Terrible biting flys. Never experienced them before and we would definitely say that was the worst part of the trip. They sting horribly and are relentless! The house itself was great and the beach was beautiful.
