We had a wonderful week at Dream On! The location is amazing! The house is great! We had an issue with one of the bathrooms and it was they had maintenance out to fix it within a few hours. Beautiful, quiet, white, sandy beach just steps away! Definitely coming back!
Our stay at Dream On was wonderful. Spacious house with a view and a short walk to the beach was just what we were looking for. We love brining our goldendoodles that love to play on the sand and this house was so accommodating for us. We had all of the essentials and were able to relax and enjoy the week with no worries.
Dream On was a very nice house in a great location. Plenty of room for 4 adults and 3 children. It was very clean, well stocked and comfortable. Short walk to the beach, only thing is we had to climb or duck under the rope from the back yard to walk over to the beach. House was next to a public parking lot, I assuming for the guests in the neighborhood, but never seemed to bother us. A few pictures need to be updated. The driveway is concrete not sand which was great and the porch off one bedroom is now an enclosed room with an extra twin/trundle bed and t, which was great for one of the kids to stay near their parents. The small pool closest to the house was very clean and was a great plus for the kids to swim at night after a day on the beach. Dee Dee, the property manager was great, she noticed the grill needed to be replaced and she had new one there the next day. The beach was nice but it seemed like no one cleaned up after themselves. They left their stuff overnight and there were chairs and broken canopies that people just left instead of throwing them away. (Which of course, I know this is not the properties fault). We had a great time and are looking forward to visiting this area again.
Wow! This was a beautiful, simple, clean home in a great location. Such an easy walk straight to the beach! Rooms were large and clean! I didn't see a single bug the entire visit, which was awesome, compared to other past rentals. Kitchen was well stocked and appliances worked well. Loved having a crockpot too! My only 'complaint" was that the pool stayed pretty crowded and that it's very hard to see through the pool water. I've never been in a pool where you can't see the bottom, but I didn't like that, while watching 3 kids. Looking forward to future visits to this gorgeous property.
Great Vacation location. Only negative thing was the large pool closed(pool repair) and to many people in the small pool daily. Not Coastal view vacations fault. Glad location is pet friendly.
Our family beach trip to Gulf Shores was absolutely unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to this incredible property and our amazing host, Deb. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and looked exactly like the pictures online—no surprises, just pure comfort and beauty. The location couldn’t have been more perfect—just steps away from the beach, which made it easy for us to go back and forth throughout the day. We loved being able to hear the peaceful sounds of the ocean while relaxing on the deck. It created the perfect, calming atmosphere for both morning coffee and late-night conversations. Inside, the house had more than enough space for our entire family. We were able to move around freely, never feeling cramped or crowded. Every room was thoughtfully arranged and designed for comfort, making it feel like a true home away from home. Deb, the host, was incredibly attentive and kind. She checked in with us during our stay just to make sure everything was going smoothly and that we had everything we needed. Her communication was clear, friendly, and professional, making the booking process seamless from start to finish. If you’re looking for the perfect vacation home in Gulf Shores, I highly recommend this property. Everything about our stay was top tier, and we’re already looking forward to booking again for our next beach getaway. Thank you, Deb, for helping make our family trip so special!
Dream On was a Dream. 100% satisfied. Was BETTER than described and pictured. Perfectly located, nothing blocked our view from the beach and ocean. Literally, steps away form the beach access. The back deck facing the ocean was lovely for morning coffee and evening sunsets. The deck furniture was inviting and comfortable. Kitchen was fully equipped. Appliances updated and clean. The inside furnishings were soothing with ocean blues hues. Very tastefully done. Cheri, property manager is lovely. We never needed anything but she graciously checked on us during our stay. There is small fenced in area for your pup, too if needed. 10 out of 10! There is not one thing negative I can say about the property or our visit. Book, you will not be disappointed. If you are not familiar with the area, I suggest a visit to The Fort Morgan at the tip of the island, very interesting and pup friendly as well.

This was our second year to stay with Coastal View and our first time in this rental house. Check in is easy and Coastal View is great to work with. The property manager, Dee Dee, is so nice and helpful. The rental was very nice. Everything was clean and well taken care of. I love that we can bring our fur babies. The small fenced in area under the back porch was a bonus! Thank you for a lovely stay.
This home is so beautiful and spacious. The beds are so comfortable. The view from the one of the master bedroom was breathtaking. Thank you so much for us having a amazing week there .
This was our first trip to the Gulf Shores area. We stayed for 5 days and had 8 guests (6 kids and 2 adults). This house was perfect. It is a short walk to the beach and the house is very clean and had plenty of space. The neighborhood is very quiet and nice, and the area around the neighborhood is mostly undeveloped, so it is a pretty relaxing area. The house is next to a public parking lot for beach access, so it does get a little busy during the day, but not too bad. It's about a 10-15 minute drive to the restaurants and stores. Be sure to bring your own toilet paper, trash bags and soaps because they only give one roll of toilet paper per bathroom regardless of your group size or length of stay, one trash bag per trashcan, and no shampoo/conditioner/body wash. The management company was quick to respond with any questions. Overall, a great stay.
We loved our time at Dream On! The house was beautiful & had all the necessities. Even though it’s not directly on the beach the view is wonderful. Location was also perfect for walking to the beach with our dogs, who were welcomed by everyone. The only reason I wouldn’t recommend Dream On is so it won’t be booked next time we are able to visit! Dee the manager was so kind and very helpful! We will return!
We absolutely loved booking with Jen at Coastal View Vacations. She is so easy to work with and gets back with answers to questions same day. Creating a reservation and payment processing was very easy. We stayed for 3 months this winter at Dream On and love everything about this house. It is great to have everything on one floor. The view beachside is stunning with a large deck and screen porch overlooking the ocean and beach. During December we had the privilege of the Blue Angels practicing right in front of Fort Morgan beach 2-3 times a day. The kitchen and dining area are spacious and it has everything you need to make large or small family meals. We appreciated the Keurig duo coffee maker as we both drink different blends. Bedrooms are spacious and it was nice to have bedrooms on both sides of the house when family came to visit for a week at a time. Everyone loved the large sectional couch and mentioned how comfortable it was. Morgantown is a beautiful and safe neighborhood where everyone is friendly and dog walking is a lifestyle plus it was fantastic to be able yo take our dog only the beach and for the most part most people follow the guidelines and keep their furry friends on a leash and pickup after them. Pools are clean and well maintained. Water is Not heated but that wouldn’t stop my 9 year old nephew from enjoying the pool and brisk swim. My only suggestion is to touch up paint on front rails and master bathroom and guest bath trim. It was also disappointing to not have a working gas fireplace for a few cold snaps during January. Other than that it truly is a Dream of a Vacation Home. We also appreciated the fantastic help from DeeDee and her Husband. Both are so friendly and always only a phone call or text away from problem solving with a smile. I highly recommend renting your vacation home through Coastal View Vacations you won’t be disappointed with the quality of homes available and the high level of service. We look forwa
Great experience!! House was exactly as described. Beach access was less than a minute walk from the house. Located in a quiet neighborhood that is relatively close to town. Hope to be back someday.
We loved the house as its location was perfect. It is so close to two boardwalks and has an awesome ocean view. The layout is also excellent and accommodates two families well. We highly recommend Dream On.
We had a wonderful time! Great weather, good fishing, Blue Angels practicing, beach time .... We had it all! Wonderful interaction with Manager, Dee Dee, who was cheerful and very responsive. Great accommodations!
Our visit was wonderful. The condo was very clean and updated. Dee Dee was very helpful and professional. We have recommended this property to our friends for a great vacation.
We enjoyed a 3 night stay as a small getaway. The location is perfect, I could settle without being beachfront as this location is equally close. It also is a short walk to one of the pool areas when the beach gets too dark.The decor was nice and updated as well as the appliances. I appreciate that it was dog friendly without compromising what it offered. A couple of hours before check-in the staff text me and I was able to communicate with them directly for any problems, they responded quick with random questions I had and was always polite.The house was clean and beds were comfortable. We come to Morgantown every year and are planning to book this house again when that time comes. Overall, this was a great experience and my family had a great time. See you next year!

This is our second time at Dream On! We love everything about this house..the size is perfect for two families traveling together, and the boardwalk to the beach is only a few steps out the back door! The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and eating at the house. Jen from Coastal View Vacations is so friendly and easy to work with! We can't wait to visit again!
Great from the first day to the last day. Place was excellent.
There were 7 of us and this property was perfect! The beds were comfortable, the house was clean and had everything you need including a baby crib, all the kitchen utensils, and even a Keurig coffee maker. The property is beautifully decorated and laid out perfectly, with 2 ensuite bedrooms on one side (shower only in each) and 2 bedrooms and a shared bath on the other side (shower tub combo). There is plenty of parking and even a small, enclosed dog pen. And the view is magnificent! You cannot see the beach itself, but the view of the gulf is wonderful and does not disappoint! We were contacted by the property manager shortly after our arrival and they were very responsive to our questions. It was nice having someone to contact in the event of any problems and know that they would respond promptly. Also, during the reservation process, Coastal View Vacations (Jen) was such a pleasure to work with. The only negative about this property is the AC; there is a sign that states that the AC will freeze up if you turn the AC below 72. The weather was not unbearably hot when we were there, but I can imagine that during the summer months, 72 degrees is not cold enough, especially for hot-natured people. Overall, I would highly recommend Dream On and would love to return, just not in the heat of the summer (LOL!). Oh, and the Morgantown neighborhood is very nice. We did not visit the pools (I don’t think they were open), though, so I can’t comment on that. If you are planning a trip to Fort Morgan, please consider this property; you will have one of the best vacations of your life!
My family had a wonderful stay at Dream On. The house itself is wonderful with an open floor plan in the main living area and good size bedrooms. The back porch has a beautiful view overlooking the backyard dunes and in the distance is the beach. Each bedroom and bathroom was updated and the master bedroom had a comfortable mattress. The kitchen had a dual Keurig (drip and pod) which made morning coffee on the back patio a breeze. It was also well stocked with a crock pot and plenty of dishes but did lack some of the basics (low supply of utensils and measuring cups). Outside, provided two washing stations, picnic tables and a small fenced in area for the dogs. Overall my family had a wonderful stay and we can’t wait to go back.

The house was more than enough for 4 couples and 2 kids. Pretty well stocked. We did have an internet issue but DeeDee handled that promptly. Would def rent again, thanks!
We rented Dream On for a week away. The location was perfect! No obstruction from seeing the ocean. The only issue we had was the wifi kept dropping us. We called the rental agency and they worked with us to get it back online as fast as possible. Will be returning!!
The home was perfect for the 3 families that stayed for spring break. We needed privacy for each couple, a place for the kids, a quick walk to the beach and a quiet atmosphere. That is exactly what we got with this rental. Property was clean, up to date, and contained all the amenities. We would stay again!
We had an absolutely fabulous 2 months @ Dream On! Perfect escape from the snowy, fridgid Midwest . The house is well laid out & very comfortable. Family & friends had plenty of room. This is the best stocked house we’ve ever rented- every little thing is provided. The “housemother” is fantastic- anticipating our every need! Coastal View is the bomb!We can’t wait to come back next yearcome back next
Perfect place for adults and dogs! We were so delighted to be here and the customer service was short notice and exceptional. Place is perfect in every way. Some trouble with WiFi but that was truly the only issue. Clean cute and comfortable. Thanks to everyone!!
Nice relaxing vacation with family.Short walk to the beach which was wonderful. Quiet neighborhood, was great for walking. Spent a lot of time on the deck in mornings for coffee and evenings watching the sunset.
Loved our stay at Dream On. The house/ kitchen was so well equipped, we never left. A very short walk to the beach. If you forget something, so easy to just run back to the house. We had 3 couples and 2 young children with plenty of room. The kids room with their own tv and bunk beds was perfect. We spent a lot of time on back deck. Perfect for morning coffee sunrise and or evenings sunsets.The community is wonderful, very quiet, great for walks, 2 pools in walking distance to get a break from the beach.
Excellent accommodations , great access to the beach, close to swimming pools, great setting on the porch and looking out at the ocean.
This was our first trip to Fort Morgan and the house was nothing but pure perfection. The setup is welcoming, it was beyond clean, and the kid room was perfect! The walk to the beach is less than 2 minutes. This is a gem in Morgantown and HIGHLY recommend this home! We had nothing but the best experience!! We can't wait to go back and hope to rent this beautiful beach house again!
