We love Ft Morgan and come down a couple of times a year. This was a great place to stay. It was clean and cozy! We had everything we needed. We loved the back porch and enjoyed fishing and the sunsets from the pier. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you for a relaxing comfortable vacation.
