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.

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.

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.

Great home in Fort Morgan, AL

Overall, my family, friends and I enjoyed the house very much. There was lots of room everywhere and we really favored the open kitchen and the back balcony area. I would stay here again for sure. Some things I noticed were some leftover trash in our bathroom trash can, a tiny spider was found on the pillows of three of the four bedrooms and there was some gunk buildup on the faucet of the bathroom sink right where the water comes out. I would still stay here again but these were just little things I noticed. Also, walking to the beach at night can be interesting because of the huge flies that may attack you. It was definitely interesting but we had a great time!

Really like the way the property is laid out 4 bathrooms is a big plus. The place had a few maintenance issues. Several of the inside door knobs were loose. The refrigerator didn't keep the food cold. One of TV's in the bedroom didn't work. In another bedroom the remote didn't work. All of the outside garbage can were full three of the four days we were there.
