The Grammont

We had a great time wintering in LA (lower alabama).

It was wonderful, great house steps away from the beach pet friendly too. My two dogs loved being able to go to the beach. The house was perfect for our little family.

Manager's Response

Nice location and really close to the beach. Old furniture in the living room. Downstairs bedroom has small bed as well as the one upstairs. Clean and tidy inside. TV really too small in living room. Good and fast internet. Good cable reception on all tv,s.

Manager's Response

The location was great and the house was nice. The furniture was in disrepair and the house wasn't cleaned very well. However, we really enjoyed it and would stay again.

Manager's Response

The house was great and in a perfect location for a quick walk to the beach. The only complaints we have is the bedroom off from the kitchen the bed was so hard and so worn out that it felt like you were laying on a box springs instead of a mattress and it sloped to the center of the bed. Did not sleep well at all for the 7 days we were there. The other complaint is the refrigerator was very small for the amount of people that are allotted to stay there , we had 8 people and had to bring several coolers in order to accommodate the groceries we had for the week , as well as it did not stay shut. If you closed the freezer the fridge door would open and the fridge seal is worn out. Please know these are minor complaints though , we had a great time and recommend the experience to anyone.

We loved staying at the Grammont with our family of 6 plus one! The bedroom setup was perfect for our group and the kitchen was fully prepared for cooking all of our meals. The location was perfectly centered between the pool and beach access and we visited both pools and the beach every day. I loved the quiet family atmosphere - we will be back!!

Manager's Response

The location is great, close to two beach walkways, and a ocean views even though not ocean front. We spent a lot of time on the front porches. It would be nice to add some chairs to the back porches also. The house was clean except for ceiling fans which need dusting. This house is listed for ten people but one bedroom has a full size bed making it very crowded for two adults. The mattress is extremely hard also. We had to put roll away bed, which is very saggy, in this room for the two adults to sleep. A better solution would be a queen size bed minus the many pieces of shabby chic furnishings. This bedroom would keep us from renting this house again for our family.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Grammont. It was clean, spacious, and in a great location. We would definitely stay here again.

We love staying in Morgantown! The Grammont wasn’t our first choice of rentals, but we had to pick a new house when the owners of the first rental we booked decided they wanted the week we had booked. Not a huge deal, considering Relax on the Beach was very accommodating. All in all, the house was perfectly fine, but there was entirely too much furniture in this house, especially in the master bedroom. As with a lot of rentals, the decor and furniture is a hodge podge. It certainly wasn’t my taste, but not a huge deal to most. The house could use a good deep cleaning and the pillows need replacing. No huge complaints! Again, area is wonderful. Probably wouldn’t choose this house again though.

This house was perfect for our group of 6 with a kid! Only complaint is the furniture in the den doesn’t seat many comfortably to watch tv. House was clean and comfortable other wise. Kitchen is very well stocked! Extremely convenient to the beach access and the pool.

Manager's Response

Initially we were trying to decide between The Grammont and another property in the community, and, we are so glad we chose The Grammont! The location to the beach and amenities were exactly what we wanted! We had a fantastic view of the ocean and were in earshot of the waves. Fort Morgan was the perfect, secluded area for us to relax! The size of the house was also great!

Had another wonderful family vacation at the grammont. Waiting on next year.

Manager's Response

We had a great stay at the Grammont! The house was the perfect size for our family of 5. The location was so convenient right by the boardwalk access. Thank for a wonderful stay!

Manager's Response

Really enjoyed staying at the Grammont. Great location - boardwalk to the beach is right across the gravel road. Morgantown is a nice, quiet, off the beaten path location for a nice relaxing beach vacation. Overall we were very satisfied with the Grammont.
Pros:
- location to the beach
- huge! (1 bedroom on the main level, 3 bedrooms upstairs)
- clean
- dog friendly (beach is also dog friendly)
cons:
- internet was spotty (may be a pro because it got the kids off the video games)
- could use some updating, but by no means run down

We will definitely try to stay here again when we return!

Manager's Response

Tina & Ashley were so helpful. They were on top of things when we needed help figuring how things worked, giving me directions to the hospital, location for the closest Walmart store. My only complaint is the conditions of the area rugs in the living room, kitchen & downstairs bedroom. They need to be professionally cleaned. I am assuming the upstairs carpet probably needs cleaning based on the condition of the downstairs rugs. It was difficult to determine if they need cleaning because of the color of the carpet. Other than that it was a great place to stay. If we stay there again next year I would want assurance that rugs & carpet have been recently cleaned.

Manager's Response

5 of us spent Thanksgiving week at the Grammont. Overall, it is a lovely, comfortable house. Some attention to minor issues is needed: handle on microwave broken, light over stove doesn't work, upstairs carpet and rug in living room need cleaning, the stained ceiling in the living room needs to be painted, the coffee pot should be replaced, and channel guides for all televisions are needed.
Having said that, the location is perfect - the boardwalk to the beach is across the street. The neighborhood is quiet. The decks invite one to sit outside and soak up the sun and listen to the Gulf.
I would stay here again and recommend others do so.

Grammont is an excellent property and we enjoyed our holiday weekend there! Clean, plenty of room for 4 couples and 4 children! trip to the beach was only 1 minute and less than 1 minute to the pool. We'll definitely be re-booking Grammont next year!

Nice house, close to beach access and 2 pools. Clean house with good ocean views from decks. My family and I had a great vacation, and would go back. Four decks on house but only one had any furniture. No beach equipment there to use. If you need chairs you better take them or plan on purchasing while there. Also, this house is located in a very nice, quiet neighborhood but it is a 15 mile drive to Gulf Shores and grocery stores/shopping/dining. We liked the quiet end of the island, but there's not much close to the house.

The house was clean and comfortable. There was easy access to the beach and to the pool.

We enjoyed our stay at The Grammont. The proximity to the beach was great. (only complaint is the condition of the mattress and box spring in the main level bedroom.)

Had a wonderful vacation again. I would live here if I could.

Our family had a wonderful week at The Grammont. We had plenty of room for 7 adults and 3 children. The kitchen was well stocked for all our cooking needs. The location was ideal for beach and pool access. Some of the outdoor furniture was in need of replacing. Overall we were pleased with our experience. The management company was very helpful.

House has great location close to beach access. Beautiful beaches. Wish i could live there year round.

Manager's Response

We really enjoyed our stay here at the Grammont. This is a beautiful home. It was decorated so nicely and felt so welcoming. My only warning is that the stairs going to the master bedroom and 2 other bedrooms are very steep and hardwood. Our Old English bulldog had quite a time going up and down and literally had to be carried most of the time.
Also new outdoor furniture is desperately needed on both decks. The current furniture is falling apart and some of the chairs felt rather unsafe to sit in. The view is simply too beautiful to be unable to sit outside and enjoy. Finally, the only other note I would add for future guests would be about the thermostat. We have stayed in several other properties in Morgantown and this was the only one that had "thermostat notices". I know for some people 73 degrees is perfect but for others, like us, it is rather stuffy. I realize the need to keep power costs down but not being able to turn the thermostat below 72 degrees was a bit bothersome especially at night. I adhered to the rules but luckily found a fan in the master closet which was utilized most of the time we were there. For the cost of the rental, especially during the peak season, I think a bit higher power bill for the comfort of the renters is reasonable.
But altogether a lovely home and a very enjoyable stay.

Manager's Response

It was a nice place. Nicely decorated. Many new items pots and pans, flat ware etc. We booked it for next year. Good view of the gulf from the large porch.

Manager's Response

Easy to check out all the available on the website. Loved the area where the house is because it made it quick and easy to get to the beach and both pools. Pet friendly was a big plus for us. Everyone all around us were friendly. The rental company was very friendly and easy to arrange our stay.

Our family of eight stayed a week at The Grammont and it exceeded our expectations. It was a clean unit and had a very well stocked kitchen. The dining table was awesome for eating and playing games with the built in lazy susan! The boardwalk to the beach and the walk to the pool were both very close. The only inconvenience was the main floor bathroom was part of the bedroom. But, this would not stop us from renting this house again.

The house was right at the beginning of the boardwalk. Makes it a lot easier to get to the beach. The only thing I would change about the house is the lack of a powder room down stairs. The only way to use the bathroom downstairs is to walk through someone's bedroom. Good and clean house overall. Also would have been nice to have a vacuum. Cleaning the rugs with a broom is not that effective.

Over all a good experience. Downstairs TV did not work and was not replaced after repeated requests to replace it. Kitchen cookware was source and looked as though it came from flea market. We bought a pan to fry in and on second day new Teflon coated pans were brought to us. No vacuum and as D spurs were in carpet and rugs.

The Grammont was the perfect place for our family of 10! Very comfortable. Enough space to gather as a group and private areas to get off alone for a nap or to read a good book. The boardwalk to get to the beach was just across the street, and the smaller of two pools was approximately 1 block. The tennis courts were closed for repairs, but that was no problem for us as no one plays tennis. On arrival we found the property clean and ready to use. The couch did have stains and would benefit from a good cleaning, but what couch would not become stains with continuous use :-/ The property is about 15 miles from Gulf Shores. Good--the private beach and the quiet relaxing atmosphere. Not so good--very winding narrow road, allow about 20-30 minutes to get to most shopping and other activities with heavy traffic maybe a little longer. But we were on vavaction not in a hurry and enjoyed the drive. We found it well worth the drive. There were a couple places to eat and a small grocery store nearby. Sassy Bass Amazin Grill cooked fish our group caught deep sea fishing with the sides reasonable and delecious!! I would love to return to The Grammont again, a very memorable stay. The only time I contacted property management was to tell them the ice chest they had provided was leaking and they would need to bring a new one before the next renters came. They offered to bring a new one when I called but our family did not need it at that time.

Clean, comfortable house looking at the ocean. Right behind the front beach houses, convenient location. Overall a beautiful stay and everything we need was there.

Manager's Response

Our stay at The Grammont was fantastic! The home is very well maintained and decorated with love. It had everything you need to start your vacation and the location is wonderful. The boardwalk is just across the street to take you to the white sandy beach. And being "pet friendly" was very important to us. We took our dog to the beach every day.
The house is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need (with the exception of a vacuum cleaner).
We loved our stay at The Grammont, and would love to return again.

Liked this house and location.had a very nice time.wished the bathroom on main floor was not in the needs some maintenance faucets in kitchen, widow shouter was loose and banging on side of house and Windows where very dirty to see the view of the Gulf.did not like that I had to purchase toilet paper and trash bags after spending 1400.00 $ on my vacation house.liked some the emails on stuff to do.but please check out the center in gulf shores by the city buildings, was a good find.several good places to eat, sassy bass, Lupus, live bait, just to name a few

We had a very dirty coffee pot and no dishwasher soap. We called the office, they came and took the coffee pot to be cleaned and handed me soap, and then later realized that it was dish soap not dishwasher soap. The outlets in bathrooms were not working so we had to blow dry in bedrooms. Some of the electrical outlets were pulling away from the wall, also.

Manager's Response

The house was great, we had more than enough room. The beds were comfy, but there were no extra linens, for the pull out beds. We had a great time...Now for the complaints...bring your own dishwashing liq., close deg. also bring your own garbage bags, we got one for the whole house...best of all bring your own toilet paper, because you only get ONE role per bathroom!!!! Thought that was kinda cheap on the Mgr of the property. It was 1ply toilet paper at that. Also...the grill for that size of a place is too small...we had to grill in shifts. There are no extra blankets of any bring your own. Oh, and the shower head in the Master bedroom needs to be worked on. So we called on Saturday, to let the Mgr company know these things...I was told all you want to do is "*****", you don't want anything fixed, and he hung up!!!! Because we didn't want a Maintenance man in the middle of all us girls having our weekend.

This is the forth time we've stayed at Grammont and its better every time. The weather was great, the location is great and it has everything you need for an outstanding vacation or a short stay in the summer or winter.

An excellent experience

We enjoyed staying at the Grammont.

A great family vacation and super location. House is in a great location with close beach access and two nice pools.
House could use some new amenities such as a larger grill and griddle but no worries. The beach fixes all.

Very charming and homey with personal touches. We have loved our past
experiences in Morgantown and highly recommend this area. Grammont is
a loved house. After living within her walls for 6 fleeting weeks, we felt she
was our home too.
