We'd stayed at Rest Area East a few years ago. The family was clamoring for a repeat. Sixteen of us - our three kids, spouses, and eight grandchildren. It's a great place. Nicely decorated and equipped - about as short of a walk to the beach as you can get and a nice pool. The only significant issue we had was that the listed loft "futon" is actually a sofa bed with a poor mattress that even a child was not comfortable on. So, we gave up on that. Fortunately, one of our kids had brought along a folding cot that we placed in that space adjacent to the sofa. That arrangement of two single sleeping spaced proved adequate for two of the smaller grandchildren.
Manager's Response
William, thanks so much for the feedback and couldn't agree more, Rest Area East is a great place! You are absolutely correct, the futon was recently replaced with a brand new sofa bed and we are sorry to hear that you didn't find it to be comfortable. We are happy to hear that you were able to work out the sleeping arrangements and kudos to the family member that brought the cot "just in case"!
September 2019 Update: The owners were concerned about the quality of the sofa bed mattress and have replaced it.

The house was clean with plenty of amenities. The kitchen was well stocked. We loved having a lot of room to sit and enjoy meals together. The proximity to the beach is wonderful! The pool was clean. Fort Morgan is in a secluded Gulf area, so if your looking to eat out or do activities daily, you might want to pick a different location. This is perfect for a family that doesn't like to fight for beach space. You can see several oil rigs in the water.

We had a wonderful time on our extended family vacation! This property is beautiful, and the location was perfect for us!
The pool was a great asset. The house was well equipped.
Our only concern was a few missing slats on the deck. Having several children with us, we were concerned about this for safety. It would be possible for a young child to slip through. However, we highly recommend this property. The property management company was so responsive, I'm certain they will take care of this tight away.
We highly recommend this house, and hope to return!
Manager's Response
Bethany, we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Rest Area East and we agree, it really is a beautiful home! Thank you for the feedback on the deck slats and we've already notified our maintenance department of the problem. We hope to see you again soon!

This is a wonderful home away from home. Located further west of gulf shores and away from the “tourist” feel. Truly felt like we belonged. Space and bedrooms/bathrooms to accommodate everyone. They truly are thinking of multi-families vacationing here. Very child friendly, the deck/pool with the best views! Highly recommend Sassy Bass down the road. I would absolutely stay here again and again.

We took our children and their families along to celebrate our upcoming 50th wedding anniversary. This house was perfect for our family and was more than we expected in accommodations. While we were aware of the size, we were amazed at the furnishings especially the kitchen. There was every pot, pan, utensil and serving pieces that you could need. We were especially impressed with the refrigerator and all couples decided that we will be replacing ours with one just like it. Many thanks to the owner(s) for allowing us to stay for this special week.

The beach house was super clean. It was super nice and private. We enjoyed having a pool just outside our back door. Pool was well kept. Nice lounge chairs to lay out and tan. My great grandchildren and their parents enjoyed the pool so much. The dining area and den was so big. I highly recommend it to everyone!!

This house is perfect. Everything that you could possibly need is provided. The view is fantastic and talk about the deck!!! We loved sitting out and enjoying coffee while watching the dolphin. Lovely dining porch adjacent to the deck was great in the evening for late night dinner while listening to the waves and watching the kids look fro crab. Thank you for the experience. Also, when we had a slight problem with the heat, it was fixed asap with no inconvenience to our stay. Couldn't have asked for more! We will definitely rent here again!

The house was perfect. More than enough room for everyone and tons of room at the huge dining table. Plenty of bathrooms so no-one was too crowded. The bathroom off the bunk room needed some minor repairs, but that was the ONLY issue. Our trip was only a few weeks after a hurricane and many of the houses near this were still boarded up and hadnt been repaired yet, but this one was perfect. Even the screens on the porch had been replaced already. Was a bit surprised by all the oil rigs so close to shore, but cest la vie.

Very nice property for a family get-together. We had 9 adults and 4 children and we had plenty of room. Everything was 'as advertised' and we had a great time.
One suggestion would be to have the pool 'serviced' a little more frequently as there was beginning to be a build-up of sand in the pool and a ring around it. Also, it is a little distance to extensive shopping/eating places. There are a couple small markets that have the essentials within 5 +/- miles, but much else is more like 30 minutes away. There was also a couple restaurants/pizza places with the markets, but our one experience with those ( Sassy Bass / Amazin' Grill ) was extremely dis-satisfying.
All in all, though, a very nice place.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Tacky Jacks has a spot a little further down Ft. Morgan. It has a terrific view to watch the sun set! We look forward to having you back soon!
The house was amazing, and the amenities were perfect! It was a great vacation for a few families that want to get away from it all.
