Sam's Place

Great house and location!
Our extended family stayed at Sam's Place this summer, and we had a fabulous time! The house is beautiful, and the location on Fort Morgan simply cannot be beat! The five bedrooms are all very nice, and everyone was completely satisfied with the great sleep they got! I was recovering from a broken leg and on 50% weight, but I had no trouble getting my small wheelchair and walker through the doorway of the gulf side room on the back of the house. Neither would fit inside the downstairs bathroom doorways, so I just hopped. The kitchen layout was awesome, and with the island stovetop, one can monitor the food from either side. There is an extra fridge/freezer and a crockpot, both of which were a huge help with a large group who cooks every meal! The sand dune leading to the beach is a decent sized hill, a bit too much for my broken leg, but beach wheelchair rental is a breeze in Ft. Morgan. The TV in the living room is so much bigger than you even think it is, and the picture is flawless! Nice big dining room table and separate table in the kitchen were both very useful and comfortable. We brought a disc golf basket and really enjoyed it on the beach, and only lost one disc to Mother Nature! The only strange thing about the house was the noisy floor, but you just get used to it and don't notice it so much after a few days. Fresh Market Seafood near Gulf Shores proper was the very BEST seafood we have ever had, after 25+ years visiting the gulf coast! The nearby Dollar General has more grocery items available than you think it does...we did forget things but never had to go all the way back to Walmart. Even if we had needed to, it's an easy drive due to lack of almost any traffic at all on Fort Morgan Road. The privacy and zero crowds make it worth any drive to get what you might need, and this comes from a family who spent many many weeks in Perdidio Key and Orange Beach. We LOVED the zero crowds! My daughter, who was too pregnant to travel last year, will be with us this year, and we will need that 6th bedroom...otherwise, we'd be heading right back to Sam's Place. It really is an excellent house in the best beach location in the country.
