As I posted earlier, we recently went to the Gulf Shores Fort Morgan area for Spring Break. This is the house we rented! Looks amazing right? I’ve had quite a few people ask me who we used to rent this amazing beachfront house, so I decided to write a post about it. Here are 10 reasons why we used Reed Real Estate to rent this beachfront house and why you should to for your next vacation to the Gulf Shores Fort Morgan area!
- Their site is amazing. You can easily put in whatever dates you are looking at and see what the pricing is (summer pricing is higher than what we paid for Spring Break). That being said, we knew people who stayed in Orange Beach and we paid less then they did for more time! Plus, they didn’t have the room we did nor the beach access!
You can also see exactly what each house has it in so you can plan accordingly:
- Internet. The internet was slow, but we at least had internet. For me, this is a deal breaker since I work online and especially since my cell phone didn’t work at all!
- Beachfront properties. These were truly beachfront properties. We literally walked out the door and were on the beach. We couldn’t have asked for more. You were on your own private beach.
- The property was clean.
- When there was an issue, they came out and fixed it. We had a smoke detector that wouldn’t stop beeping after their office closed, and they still sent somebody out to fix it.
- You got plenty of emails for what to expect leading into the vacation.
- The Fort Morgan properties are a little off the beaten path. They are a bit of drive from Gulf Shores and all the excitement there, but that’s why we chose it. We didn’t want to be fighting for beach space and be stuck where all the tourists were.
- We were able to go crab hunting at night and found tons of them (we heard that in other places they didn’t have the luck we did). It was catch and release for those of you wondering. The kids loved it.
- Saves you money. Like I showed you earlier, these houses have tons of amenities. We checked out condos and hotels. We were way ahead on the Reel Real Estate rental. By being able to cook our meals, we saved a ton on going out to eat. By being able to do laundry in our beachfront rental, we were able to actually pack less.
- They have house to accommodate everyone. We stayed on one half of the rental and my cousins stayed in the other – there was 10 of us total. We probably would have fit in one side of the rental, but we did it this way so each family had enough room (and it worked out really well for us). If we go down again (and we will!), we will probably stay in a smaller home. They even have rentals for much larger families in one unit or homes with pools.
As you can see, we are super happy with our beachfront rental with Reed Real Estate. If you are heading to the Gulf Shores Fort Morgan area, I can only recommend working with Reed Real Estate. They were a delight to stay with and when we go to Gulf Shores again, we will use them again.
I miss the beach and would love a great house like that to stay in. You really found a the best realtor to hook you up there and the other house too. I hope they have offices by me for the Jersey or Long Island shore.
Wow what an amazing looking place to get to go and stay! You really can get any closer to the sea, I have to admit I love my net connection but I could totally forgive for that view.
What a great condo!! I love Gulf Shores but I haven’t been there for years. I will def check out this rental company if I ever go back!
I think this is really value for money. I hope they will have a better internet connection for people like us that needs to be online always. Gulf Shores Fort Morgan Sounds really nice.
It is really important to have a really good real estate agent when looking for property. It can be a hard time so the experts really help.
Our favorite place to go as a family has always been the beach. Anything that helps us find that gem of a place to stay is a good service to us!
Looks like you have found a good deal for your vacation. Just like you, I also like cooking our own meals rather than eating out,which costs way more than we could spend if we prepare it ourselves. And crab huning at night is really fun!
The kids loved crab hunting!
Hi Lisa!
On behalf of Reed Real Estate, thank you so much for the great post. We are so glad to know that you enjoyed your time with us. We loved having you and would be happy to welcome you and your family back!
I totally understand about the internet (UGH)! Being at the end of the peninsula, we are kind of at the “end of the line” when it comes to bandwidth. It is unfortunately and area wide issue that can definitely be frustrating from time to time, but is hopefully worth the trade-off to be in such a secluded, relaxing and wonderful place. 🙂 Hopefully the addition of new fiber lines that have been rumored from the ISP that services this area will help in the near future!
We hope you were able to make some lasting memories and look forward to seeing you again!
I was just happy to have internet slow or not. LOL Not everyplace offers that!
Wow what a gorgeous place to go! I always use the experts as I’m pretty clueless myself, I’d rather trust their judgement!
Wow, what a great getaway vacation place. I would be freaked out not being able to use my cell though, glad you at least had internet.
I know slow internet all too well. But I’d rather it be slow than not have any at all. Looks like an amazing house and great place to go through to find it.
Such a lovely destination! I can tell my family is going to love the Gulf Shore. Knowing a reputable company to help book our fun is helpful.
The house you rented looks amazing. We’ve never been to Gulf Shores Fort Morgan, but I would love to go there someday with my boys. Thank you for sharing your experience.
If we had the resources, I would love to own a house by the beach. However, renting one for now will suffice. I love watching sunsets and the sound of the waves would definitely give me that peace and calm I crave for. Next time we visit the Gulf shores, i will make sure we check out Reed Real Estate for awesome rentals.
I am booked with Reed Realty for 2019. Our family is very excited.
That’s awesome! We rebooked for 2019 too with them!
