As beautiful as the pictures are, they do not do this wonderful home justice!
Every room has a spectacular view of the ocean and the pool area.The bedrooms had ample storage for all of our belongings and each had their own spacious bathroom.
The shared living areas (inside and out) provided enough space that if you wanted a few moments to yourself, you could have it. The living and dining rooms had furniture enough to provide seating for everyone.
The kitchen area was well equipped and served as a great gathering place for all of our guests without feeling crowded. Several people were able to prepare snacks and never trip over each other.
We had a team from Chef Lloyd Brown come in and fix a dinner for our group and they were able to prepare everything without an issue. The food was phenomenal and gorgeous! Would recommend them for ANY occasion! Ours was a very small wedding. Perfect setting, perfect food!
I do have to say, the kitchen (even when you were by yourself) was a bit on the warm side. No appliances were running. It was almost always 10 degrees warmer than the rest of the house.
The manager of the house (Portia) was great! She was available to us within minutes of calling her. We tried not to bother her too much but, she always told us 'it was never a bother'. Especially, when one of the chairs collapsed under one of our guests. The mechanism under the chair was corroded and clearly not anyone's fault. We understand these things happen. No one was hurt, and Portia took care of it right away. On the day we left, I forgot my purse and Portia was right there to let us go in and get it once I discovered I had left it. She is a wonderful asset to the home.
The one negative thing I have is there was not enough toilet paper provided. Portia told us there was supposed to be 3 rolls in every bathroom. I know my bathroom only had 2 and have gotten similar reports from my other guests. We were out of toilet tissue on the last full day of our stay and went to buy more instead of having Portia give us any out of her own house. I do feel for the money we paid, it's the little things that can really make you give 100% positive feedback.
Other than that, it was a phenomenal stay and I will definitely be going back to Morning Glory!
Portia made mention of the fact that we left the home very, very clean when we went back to get my purse. I am certain we should get our full deposit returned.
Thank you for an amazing vacation.
