Each of the bedrooms is magnificently appointed in authentic arts and crafts decor, a deck, and an air jetted tub.

What a beautiful place, ideal for a family of 19 to celebrate our 50th anniversary. The house was wonderful, so much inside and outside space that we never felt crowded. The nine grandchildren loved the trampoline, pool and hot tub, kayaking, playing badminton, roasting marshmallows. The highlight was seeing a mother whale and her calf swim by.
Thanks to Janet for taking such good care of us. I would recommend this place 100.
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again in the future.

We loved our stay at Morningside. It was the perfect place for our wedding! Some of the areas in the residence were starting to fall into disrepair like some of the doors and closets etc. This didn't detract from our stay but if it is not attended to Morningside definitely won't be as great of a place to stay in the future. Janet was easy to get along with and we absolutely loved the catering staff.

Thank you for such a fantastic place to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with our whole family. 18 of us in all! We enjoyed the boats, the pool, the Bocci, trampoline, etc. Our 8 grand kids ages 6 - 13 were in and out of the boats and pool, and bouncing all day long.
The owners were very pleasant and willing to help.
The only difficulty or inconvenience was the road. It really needs help. However that wouldn't stop us from coming again under like circumstances.
Thanks again!

There was a MAJOR problem with ants at this place that would have been nice to know about ahead of time. They were everywhere and they were huge, it definitely took away from the experience. Other than that the place was great.
We appreciate you letting us know about the ants. This is often a seasonal problem in the early spring. We will be addressing the issue immediately. Thank you for your comments, glad you enjoyed your stay at this spectacular property. EMR Vacation Rentals

We absolutely loved Morningside Estate and the Morgans. They are a lovely family and have kept the place up immaculately. They were around all the time for any problems/questions we might have and made our stay perfect. Our entire family truly enjoyed the beauty of the property and would whole heartedly recommend it in the future.

Our family of 7 adults and 5 children thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The accommodation were excellent. I would like to have known 4-wheel drive was suggested, and that one kitchen drawer front was false, as I dropped it on my leg. We will send some pictures for the guestbook soon. I congratulate the owners on constructing such a beautiful place.
I had an absolutely fantastic time at Morningside Ocean Estate. My family enjoyed it thoroughly- I doubt we will be staying in Hotels after this experience.
All in all it was fabulous.
I want to tell you how very much we enjoyed the Morningside Ocean Estate! It was wonderful and my family had a fabulous time. We all hated to leave. Thank you again for the suggestion.
I just want to say what a wonderful time we had at the place we rented and how lovely it was! Janet was so friendly and also a great source of information. Would highly recommend it to anyone!
Many Thanks
