We had a great time during our stay. The pool is great for kids. The bugs were pretty terrible during our stay though so I’d definitely recommend bringing bug spray.
The property was clean, spacious, and had all the things we needed for our stay. Host was friendly and quickly responded to any questions or issues that came up. I would high recommend this property to anyone looking a quiet place to relax with easy access to the beach.
Honestly, everything was fantastic! Extremely easy check in process. Scott was very quick to respond and gave great suggestions on things to do. The house had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. Thank you so much!
We enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and secluded which is what we were looking for. The accommodations were adequate though the a/c unit didn't work very well in the front bedroom. It seemed to work fine in the unit as a whole but the front bedroom was hot even with box fans running. Owner responded quickly to all messages.
We had a great experience renting this property. We loved the house and the owner went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay! I would highly recommend this cozy little house to anyone wanting a relaxing stay. The pool was wonderful also!
Although our stay was just overnight, we enjoyed the Blue Bungalow. It was perfect distance to the beach and the accommodations were perfect for 7 people.
Property is just as described. Quiet, clean, cozy home with easy beach access. Even sat down for a family game night with games provided. We enjoyed our stay.
We had the most amazing time at the blue bungalow. This was probably our favorite vacation. The location was so serene and quiet. We rented a golf cart and had a nice drive to the public beach access. If you like family friendly, this is the place for you!
We had a great time there. Room for the whole family. Clean and safe neighborhood. Small walk to the pool and beach was less than a half mile away. Beach was not super busy like others. We would Stay here again.
My family of 5 stayed here andnhad a wonderful time. The location was perfect for us. It was close to the beach and town but yet quite and not as busy as the more commercialized areas. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. Scott was very responsive to any questions that we had. We would definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay in fort morgan. The pool was great for the days when the beach had a double red flag warning or jellyfish. The washer/dryer in the unit was great. Great kitchen. We loved being close to tacky jacks as well. The only improvement would be having handsoap in all the bathrooms and a few extra rolls of toilet paper but we picked some up at the store. Otherwise everything was as described. Communication with owner was great.
Was looking for a place off the beaten path for a short stay within our price range. The Blue Bungalow was so perfect. 3 bedrooms and two baths, well equipped kitchen, and wonderful screened porch. Kids loved "their room". The area was quiet and family oriented and within minutes of the beach. Will definitely be on our short list for our next trip. Scott was very attentive!
The Blue Bungalow provided such a memorable vacation spot for our family! Comfortable house, close to the beach and awesome pool. Few kinks with check-in, but owner quickly got back to us with easy fixes. I would say that the key code did not activate until exactly at 3:00 PM, so do not arrive early! Overall, 5 stars and would happily stay there again!
Close to the beach, a cozy little place with plenty of room inside. It is a lot roomier inside than you would think by the photos. Of course the kids love the pool. This place is absolutely amazing, and any issues we came upon were handled swiftly by the owner. I cannot praise him enough, he and his wife run a solid operation. I would do business with them again anytime!
We had a wonderful time at this clean well placed property. If your like us and like a little seclusion and convenience you will love this place. Its just the perfect distance from everything. I do also recommend the walking trails near by. The property is well furnished with anything that you need. The host is friendly and very responsive to any questions and requests. Top notch service.
The stay was awesome. Just what I expected. The only hiccup we had was that we arrived very late at night and it was difficult to find the house. We kept driving by it for about an hour before we finally spotted it. The number could have been up higher on the house or the bushes covering it could be trimmed. However had we arrived as scheduled, we would not have that problem. So, overall the stay was great.
The property was very clean and very easy to get to. The host was helpful. We only had to contact him once because we couldn't get the wifi to work and he had us fixed in less than 5 minutes. Beds were comfortable. Fans were provided in bedrooms. There was 8 of us (4 adults and 4 children..ages 9 to 16) and we were all comfortable and had plenty of room.

Thank you for considering our cozy beach bungalow! We found Fort Morgan years ago when we were searching for a peaceful beach town and fell in love with it. The beach is meant for relaxing and The Rookery provides the perfect quiet getaway.
Just like you, we enjoy staying at vacation rentals as well, so our goal is to provide you with the 5-Star experience that we look forward to when we stay at other hosts' homes.
