We took a short little trip to Fort Morgan for the first time and it was absolutely perfect!!! We loved the location and the house was perfect for us!!!
It was such a pleasure staying here. My dog& children were so comfortable. The house was exactly what we needed. Perfect distance to the water. House had great cozy space.
We enjoyed our stay ! The house was just right for the two of us and our dog. It was clean, the manager checked on us one time to make sure all was ok. We had neighbors that were very nice and quite themselves like us.
Perfect beach location! Could not have asked for any better. Clean, quiet and steps from the ocean.Loved it!

House was perfect for a small family vacation. Clean and in good condition. Location is perfect.
We have been to Gulf Shores/Fort Morgan several times with our kids. This was the first time as empty nesters and it was perfect. The size was great and the proximity to the beach was even better. 30 steps tops!! Fort Morgan offers more privacy and less crowds. If youâre looking for a small quaint relaxing spot, this is it!
We spent a week here with our four young kids and absolutely loved it. It is a very quiet location in a secluded community. Itâs about 20 minutes from the excitement of downtown Gulf Shores, but an easy drive for when we wanted to get out for good food or souvenir shopping. The house itself is nicely updated, has all the essentials and just enough space for sleeping, eating, or watching a movie. Our favorite part is you literally cannot get closer to the beach!
We love this property because it is right on the beach. It has been updated and looked much better than last time we stayed.it would be nice if the sliding doors had screens so you could leave the doors open. Also it needs a deep ckean. But we love it and will definitely go back.

We absolutely love Sun Kissed East! Itâs perfect for our family and weâve enjoyed several Spring Breaks here, and will definitely be back! Itâs right on the beach and we leave the doors open at night to listen to the waves on the sand! Just enough room for our family of 5 to be completely comfortable!

Perfect place!! Steps from the water, better inside than the pics show. Love it. Only disappointed things was most places leave things like basic condiments, salt pepper etc. However, they clean house. You have to buy everything so plan accordingly. It was perfect location and canât waist to return
Overall the place was suitable. It definitely had a musty odor to it and could use a few hygiene updates (new shower curtain liner - pink mold present, fridge/freezer smelled of fish - more arm and hammer boxes or changed more often). The mattresses were on the firmer side but plenty of beds and pillows provided. An umbrella for the patio would be my only suggestion but maybe its not feasible. The chairs on the patio were nice and comfortable. The chairs down below were broken and cracked but we were thankful for them to have some shade.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sun Kissed East. The location couldn't be better, right on the beach and away from the busy tourist area of the Gulf Shores. Being able to bring our 11 year old dog along on our family vacation was a huge plus for us and he absolutely loved it. The deck and furniture make for a very relaxing space to hangout. The house isn't anything fancy but it suited our needs just fine. Nothing can beat that view from the master bedroom, going to bed with the sounds of the ocean and waking up to that view was amazing. The house was clean for the most part, aside from the air register under the table and floors behind/under some of the furniture, minor things. There is a strong fish odor in the fridge/freezer that could probably use a few more baking soda boxes to help out but we also realized that considering the location someone may have went fishing and needed to store their fresh fish during the stay. Staff was very friendly and more than helpful with our questions. Overall we had an amazing family vacation and will most definitely be back again.

It was a very good place to stay.
This condo is wonderful!! Beautifully decorated and well furnished!! Pet friendly right on the beach. This time of year the peninsula and the beach are very quiet which was nice. The property manager, Greg, is very responsive. We had a small issue with the TV in the bedroom. He came over promptly, introduced himself, and took care of the problem. We definitely plan to stay here again.
