Best beach location we have ever had in Fort Morgan. We had great weather this year. Perfect beach for dog owners and other renters are always so friendly. Beach is always breathtaking.

The Minnow isn’t fancy, but it is cute, cozy, and very clean! The beds were comfortable and everything in the house was in working order. We spent almost as much time on the upstairs balcony as we did on the beach. The location is a great one if you enjoy peace and quiet. We will rent the S S Minnow again.

This is the 3rd time we have stayed in this home. It's a great location to the beach as well as Sassy Bass. Food, Fun and Sun, can't ask for better.

This is a nice, little house with close beach access. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. The management company was also very easy to work with and responsive. There is not a lot of lighting in the kitchen area- a brighter light would really help. Also, if you plan on cooking- bring a few of your own pots/pans as the selection at the house is very limited. We would stay here again. Thank You!

We had to leave 3 days early due to my dads death. Packed up quickly and left. Couple of suggestions we bought a coffee pot and left it there for next renters. Maybe have maids check that there is one there. There was not much light in kitchen if you tried to cook after dark. I believe downstairs toilet was not working.

Location was good, close to the beach, although the weather wasn’t that good for us to get some sun. Much cooler and windier than last year. The home could use some maintenance, screens ripped, paint chipping off cabinet one of the sliding doors hard to lock. Tv needs to have instructions on which controls to use. There were 3 and only needed 2. Blinds were broken. With this being said we enjoyed our stay, not sure if we are coming back to gulf shore, maybe try someplace new. Thank you.

This little cottage is one row off the beach, but still has a good view. Air blew cold the entire week. Beds were comfy. Location was peaceful with easy access to the beach (about a block's walk). Kitchen had basic essentials with a working electric oven, dishwasher, cold fridge. Shower has good water pressure. Washer/dryer worked nicely with a convenient downstairs bathroom with utility sink. Outdoor water hose as well. Easy access to the Sassy Bass store and restaurant (just across the back yard). We would definitely stay here again. I might suggest an in-sink disposal and an upstairs deck awning/roof, but those would be our only thoughts.

An adorable little house with the perfect porch for morning coffee, walks down the beach and getting away from it all. The house is clean with plenty of cooking supplies to cook at home, a small grocery 5 min walk for forgotten ingredients. Washer and dryer are a huge bonus with a downstairs shower for super sandy days. We will be back it met all of our needs to get away and relax!
