Highlights

Abracadabra checks all the boxes. This newer (2018) home accommodates large groups, is pet friendly and has easy access to the beach, both pools and tennis/pickleball courts. Oh wait, we forgot to mention the spectacular views! This 6 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom home has both upper and lower decks and the beach access boardwalk is, literally, at the base of the driveway. LVP flooring, stainless appliances and quartz countertops means you'll be vacationing in style. Extras include an ice maker and a beverage fridge, both very important for a successful beach vacation! Pro Tip: Take the boardwalk and go right to the beach and left for the fastest route to both pools and tennis/pickleball courts.

You can actually wake up to the sight of the sun rising over the gulf! The master bath is complete with a modern, freestanding tub, separate shower and private water closet as well as a convenient double vanity. There is also an oversized laundry room on this level so you can store larger items, like coolers, out of the main traffic path.

On the upper level you'll discover three king rooms, a room with two full over full bunks, and a second bunk room with full over full and twin over twin bunks. All bedrooms can easily access the upper-level balcony.

Some venues even offer live, local entertainment.

Fort Morgan fishing pier is now open, and anglers will have access to convenient inshore fishing and the abundant species locally available.

Would definitely stay again. Easy to get to beach. Tons of space for everyone. My only recommendation would be to have a rug in the foyer to catch some of the sand and at the kitchen sink.

Disgustingly dirty

The house appears at a first glance to be exactly how it is listed online but once looking around the rooms there were so many sanitary issues. For starters there was a red stain on the sheets of one of the king beds. In the master bedroom there was hair and sand in the bed. The shower mat was molded, the trashcan was broken and had to reach inside to open it. The back to the remotes were missing, there were very few towels and they were dirty. We contacted the property manager and they simply sent a hostile cleaning crew out the following day after we had spent the entire first day of our trip cleaning and laundering the house. The cleaning crew came to the house the first time looked around and did nothing. They eventually came back after we had to respond again that nothing was handled. They then dropped off sheets and towels. None of the other issues were fixed or addressed the rest of the week. My family and I take one trip a year together, we work really hard and take time out of our lives to get together for this week and it was a shame the condition the house was in and the response received. I have waited to leave this review due to the fact that I know it will affect the bookings but I would hate for another family to arrive to the same issues.

Perfect location

This home is perfect for a large group with small children. The beach access is in the front of the home and it takes less than five minutes to get there. The home was clean and beautifully decorated. The master bedroom is large with a very comfortable mattress. Our family of 18 had a great week and I highly recommend this property for your next vacation.

Great vacation!

We loved the house and it location close to the beach! Spacious with comfortable beds. The hot water pressure was great for 13-14 people! A/C worked well. Dishwasher made for very hot clean utensils and plates. The video gamers were able to hook up Nintendo Switch to the TV. We would stay there again!

This was a family trip with adult children and grandchildren. Everything about the place met our needs. The distance to the beach and pool was perfect. Dee Dee, the property manager was very responsive. We would definitely stay at this location for another family trip.

318 Girls Trip 2023

I'm the youngest of 4 girls and we had planned to start doing sister trips since we were getting older. Unfortunately my 2nd to oldest sister (Rose) died in Jan 2022. The remaining 3 decided we would continue with the plan and included Rose's daughters and another niece who mom had died a week after Rose. That April 2022 trip consisted of 8 of us and allowed time for these young women to exhale, as they had been thru a lot in the 3 months before. We decided then this would be an annual trip and we would include more of the women (sisters, daughters, nieces and in-laws, in our family for the next trip. This year (2023) we had 22 women ranging from 18 to 80 in our group and we LOVED it!!! Our beach house was perfect for this group and the atmosphere was breath taking. We share memories, we shared experiences and discussed topics women tend to not want to talk about. My daughter and 2 granddaughters were on this trip and they can't wait for the next one. The space was perfect and the house was so relaxing (wished we had a day or 2 longer stay). Only thing different about the stay would be they provide more toiletries for groups of this size. While we did bring our own, it was 30 minutes at least to the nearest Walmart. It was unusually cool for the time of year, so we didn't enjoy the water as much but other than that, this was a great trip.

Amazing location

We loved our week in Abracadabra. The home was beautiful with wonderful porches for watching the waves, as well as the colors of Fort Morgan sunrises and sunsets. With the beach boardwalk just out the front door, the location couldn’t have been better.
