About the host

Hosted by Bonnie and Patrick Murphy

Host profile image
This property is owned by Patrick and Bonnie Murphy of Cincinnat Ohio.
We have 4 wonderful children and Jax our Bullador. We actually adopted him from right here in Fort Morgan in July 2015 from a wonderful couple that worked at our very own Sassy Bass! He loves the beach as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Patrick and I bought this house back in October of 2000 so we could come to BAMA and watch my baby sister play Division 1 Soccer for USA in Mobile. The first four years we limited our guests to family and close friends due to the amount of time we spent at the house and beach each year. As the kids have all gotten older our trips to our little piece of heaven on earth are not as often as we like so we decided to share our home with others so they too could make the same kind of lasting memories that we have been making with our family and friends for so many years!

What makes this property unique

At Bonnie Dune you will find a great level of detail has been taken to make sure your stay will require nothing more than bringing yourself and your bathing suits and towels to the beach! We want people to be able to come and relax and enjoy without wondering what they must bring to the house for the week. If you are afraid we don't have what you might be looking for just ask. We have taken the time to develop everlasting relationships with all the folks that care for Bonnie Dune and know our folks will go the extra mile to make sure your vacation is stress free!
