Nice place near the beach
This property was recently remodeled and looks great. Everything works as it should. Bonus points for the heated pool as the wind blew the jellyfish ashore the week I was there, and the Gulf water was a tad on the chilly side anyway. There is a partial Bay view as well, and I caught a few sunsets from the deck. 4 full size cars will easily fit underneath the house, you can get more vehicles under there if they are small cars. Note that the property has 2 bathrooms, but both are only accessible from the hallway - no "master bath" here. It wasn't an issue for me as I was traveling alone. The beach view is decent for now, until the 2 lots in front are built on. There are a few restaurants and a Dollar General close by, but if you do have to go to Gulf Shores for anything, the drive isn't that bad.

Two adults, one child, and two dogs enjoyed our stay. The Ona house had easy access to the beach, plus beach supplies. The house was nice and clean, plus super comfy. The pool was an added bonus. I’d never been to the beach in the fall, but I will definitely be going back. The weather was perfect. Thank you, Mr. Tom for being a great host.

The Ona House
This was beyond amazing. The house was clean and well taken care. It has all the accommodations that make life just a bit easier and makes it feel like home. The pool was wonderful and our two children loved it and got a lot of use out of it. The beach was walking distance from the house. The house was well stocked and had lots of beach accessories. Our host Tom was so nice and easy to contact. This was definitely our most favorite beach trip of all time and will be coming back!

Amazing Beach Vacation!
The Ona House was exactly as listed. The home itself was beautiful and well organized. There were more than enough linens, blankets, kitchen supplies, seating, etc. for our party of 9. The bedrooms were tastefully decorated and beds were comfortable. We spent many afternoons in the pool enjoying the day! The beach was a short walk away and wasn't crowded at all! We all had such a wonderful time. The communication with Tom was clear and very helpful. I highly recommend visiting this property, it was everything we hoped for and more!

Tom was a fantastic host! The home is just as described with comfortable beds and a nice view of the ocean from the deck. Well stocked kitchen and extremely clean. A short walk to one of the most beautiful beaches with sugar sand and dog friendly to boot! We toured Fort Morgan one afternoon and found it to be extremely interesting. We have stayed on Gulf Shores previously, and I really like to quite of Fort Morgan Beach than the packed beaches at Gulf Shores. Sweet stay, thanks again and we will return for another stay here.

This vacation beach house was an absolute dream! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the closeness to the ocean and the gorgeous decor inside the house. The house was spacious, clean, and incredibly well-maintained. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the private pool and the easy beach access, which made it so easy for us to walk down to the beach whenever we wanted. The beach itself was pristine and peaceful. We also appreciated the attention to detail that the owners put into making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. From the fully stocked kitchen to the fresh linens and towels, everything we could have possibly needed was provided for us. Overall, we had an absolutely amazing time at this vacation beach house and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway by the beach.

Advice from a sea turtle
Go with the current.. the house was not exactly as described or pictured.. with no rocking chairs near the pool, no dual set of triple bunk beds, and no fireplace on property. However the location of the rental and proximity to the beach was just as described! The private pool was perfect for our group and the only suggestion we have to improve the outdoor experience would be to add a speaker system that could be Bluetooth compatible so that music can be enjoyed while swimming. The host was perfectly accommodating and helpful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Ona House and overall trip to Fort Morgan was wonderful!
