Wonderful

The people at Beachball properties could not have been more helpful! The property was just as listed
We had a wonderful stay the boys fished, and although the temperatures were cooler, it was a beautiful area to go walking, etc.

Ocean Overlook - great home!
This property was perfect for our needs.
Would be great for families with children - great space and well-planned!
The home was clean and relaxing and had great amenities. The beds and sheets were very comfortable.
Would definitely come again!
The property we rented was extremely nice. The property was clean and well appointed. The pool and elevator were welcomed amenities. The balcony had good views of the beach and ocean and the short walk to the beach was great.

Wonderful place to vacation away from all the crowds. Perfect setup for adults and kids with plenty of room to sleep. The house is equipped with everything you could think of. Elevator was awesome for transporting coolers and groceries up and down. Short walk or ride to the beach access. Highly recommend for a nice and peaceful getaway!

Loved our time at Ocean Overlook
We had a wonderful and relaxing long weekend here. The house was sparkling clean. Although we didn't have a large group the house is well equipped to handle a crowd. Very close to the beach, and can see and hear the waves from the property. Nice quiet nights on the porch. The elevator came in so handy for our 13 year old pup. The kitchen was well equipped with tools and utensils (there are not any spices, oils etc available so bring your own). We are hoping to make this an annual tradition and look forward to returning again. I would absolutely recommend this home, and Beachball Properties in general to anyone. Very easy to book and work with.
We enjoyed the stay this week and the location of this house but the beds were not the most comfortable and the kitchen seems to have some quirks. The microwave would beep randomly even though no one was using it and it always said 7 seconds to go no matter what we did. The ice maker lid would open on its own so that was a little creepy and it was very noisy when trying to watch TV. We loved the location and the roominess but it needed more rugs or Something to capture the sound since everything was tile. I hope we can stay again
Next year to see what improvements have been made.

Sun Fun & Relaxation
We enjoyed our month stay at Ocean Overlook in Fort Morgan! The house has everything a family needs to cook and feel at home while vacationing! The living area has 3 large couches and 2 recliners to seat lots of people. This area is open to the large dining room and large kitchen! The island has seating for at least six. We loved the bedrooms; especially that each bedroom had its own large on suite bathroom. Loved the swimming pool area. We did not use the pool as it was cooler but enjoyed laying out in this private space. In addition, we appreciated having the large concrete driveway and parking space and elevator which was interior exiting by the large living room. This made hauling supplies and groceries very easy. It also was very helpful for my mother who has difficulty walking up stairs. Lastly the large deck with plenty of seating was a joy to use each morning while drinking my coffee and each evening to watch the sunset. The walk to the beach is just a short walk down the street! Loved our stay!

Great Time at Ocean Overlook
We were here for two weeks. The first was with extended family and we really enjoyed having everything on one level in the house. The view from the patio is very relaxing and a great place for morning coffe and evening wine/beer. The open kitchen/living makes a great room space that we were in all the time playing games and watching the Olympics in the evening. We did call Beachball for help a few times and they were super responsive. Our second week was all adult friends and they enjoyed the space and also commented on having everything on a single level. The Pool was a great refresher after being on the beach each day. We used the golf cart to carry all our beach supplies and were able to load it up to get gear and people down to the beach in a couple of minutes.
I very much enjoyed having the elevator to get our supplies up from the covered parking area under the house. The kitchen was well stocked and had all the dishes, bowls, pots, etc for the many meals we prepared over two weeks.
We will be back.

Our Favorite Place To Stay
This has been our 3rd year using this property for our family vacation. There are 10 of us including 8 adults, 2 kids, and 2 dogs. We always look forward to staying here as it is the perfect amount of space for our big family. We love the pool, how every bedroom has its own bathroom, and the porch is perfect for sitting and relaxing. The only thing that we found this year was that the pool was really dirty when we arrived, and it looked like the yard, and dog area had not been cut in a while which is difficult when taking a dog out. Overall though we absolutely loved our stay and cannot wait to book it again for our family trip next year!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Loved the location and the house was very spacious for our large group. Having the golf cart was a plus! We had issues with the elevator but was fixed later in the week. The only negative would. The pictures of the “dog fence area” shows only sand in it but it was over grown with weeds and lots of sand spurs so we couldn’t use it. We all had a great time and would love to go again next year!

Very spacious and comfortable, great location. Home was equipped with everything needed to have a great time.
This house has everything you could possibly need and more! The porch and pool were amazing. The short walk to the ocean was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Pictures online showed no houses in front, there now are, but still good views. Elevator needs instructions. Could only use on 1st & last day, just happened by accident that we were able to use it. Couldn’t sit on furniture on front deck. Cushions were scattered in yard from recent wind & rain. Were wet & muddy. Used our on chairs & table chairs, which were also missing cushions. Other than the above, we really enjoyed our stay & will probably book it again for next June.
We absolutely loved this property!! Loved the location. Loved the pool. Loved everything. We sat out on the balcony and enjoyed the breeze. It was wonderful! The property was overall well maintained. We did find a little sand in the top bunks on the wood not in the actual bed. The internet went out several times but came back on usually in under an hour. This didn’t bother us adults…only the kids. The floor FELT really clean but we all had black socks and feet within about 30 minutes but it’s the beach…we expected as much. NONE of these issues were called in because it didn’t bother us. The only issue we did call in was about one of the toilets. It was slow flushing and the office was super nice and someone came that day.
We would DEFINITELY rent this house again. I even looked to add a night but it was already booked on the calendar.
Regret! Good Location, but Filthy with No Resolution.
Tried to upload response but limited word count on reviews… So to summarize all of this
Every VRBO/Rental has its owns quirks & we always touchup clean when traveling, but this place was dirty. Crumbs/Food on counters & in kids beds so we clean upon arrival & have kids sleep ontop of sheets. We noticed that everyone’s feet were filthy dirty from floors. To the extent that we had everyone wear shoes/others Inside the home. *Compare the Sound & Feeling when your out somewhere & go into a bathroom & your shoes are sticking to floor + making that sound; yes that was here.
I emailed Beachball Properties that night, they replied that someone will be by to inspect & they’ll get back with us. We no one came by to inspect the next day, they did send cleaners with sheets to change 1-of the kids beds & had no idea about the floors or others. We let them do said bed, they called their boss & then said im sorry but we don’t clean floors its either BB or actual owner. Told us we should maybe get a Steam Mop? So here we are now all wearing shoes/slippers or others inside the home bc its that dirty. *I have pics if allowed to be uploaded. There are no cleaning supplies in house ie: you get 1-trash bag for a 20.quart trash can…
So Saturday morning I send a longer email with info asking what they are going to do to resolve this issue as nothing has been done to address this filthy floor (since Thurs night email). I received a reply from Bob w/ Beachball Properties stating and I quote “parties I need to speak with may not be available this weekend, I’ll research this & call you Monday. Enjoy wknd as its nice weather.” Most families take trips that includes the weekends, so good luck if you need anything answered or resolved.
Today Wednesday & we’ve yet to hear from Bob or anyone at Beachball Properties or affiliates. So they don’t clean it & ignore you & tell you to enjoy the weather as well as don’t follow up as stated in email. I have all correspondence, including pictures.
Side note: Outside furniture hasn’t been cleaned all cushions are stained including table etc, we actually took cushions off & sat on chairs only. Also 4.seater golf cart is very old & rusted out – actually dangerous coming from beach & possibility of being cut + overpriced.
My overall experience with this property & the management aspect of it is Very Disappointing to say the least. Dirty with no attempt to resolve the issues, very Sad!
