About this property

Discover Peace at Dune Refuge Your Fort Morgan Gulf front Escape by Prickett Properties

Dune Refuge is a 3 bedroom Gulf Shores/Fort Morgan beach house with unobstructed views of the Gulf and beach. The house is adjacent to the wildlife refuge, so no development exists in front of the house or to the East! You can walk miles of undeveloped beach and experience the beach as it was 50 years ago. There is a boardwalk, which is a short walk from the back door of the beach house. This Fort Morgan Beach house is not far from the action of Gulf Shores, Alabama. In fact, it is only 8 miles from Hwy 59 in Gulf Shores. Dune Refuge is a remodeled beach house with wonderful covered porches to enjoy the view and sound of the waves. The tile throughout the lower level and the granite counter tops give this house a clean and luxurious feeling.

Awesome Beachfront Home

This house is on the edge of a nature preserve, so it is very quiet and secluded. We got the beach in front of the house to ourselves most days. Watching the Gulf from the porch was wonderful. I highly recommend this place.

Needs TLC

Great house but needs TLC. There were electrical issues and the AC could not keep it cool. They were working on the boardwalk so getting to the beach was a pain. Didn't make anybody's list to stay again.

The house was great! It was clean with lots of room and great views of the ocean. There really aren't any neighbors close by so you felt like you had the beach to yourself. We will definitely be back!

Great beach getaway!

Great trip & Prickett Properties was terrific to deal with. The house served our needs perfectly & the views were incredible. Very non commercial area. The beach was nice & many great restaurants were close. Prickett also recommended High Waves for beach chair rentals, etc. & they were top notch! Excellent service & I definitely recommend using them for any beach needs you have. Excellent trip all around & already planning to go back!

We love Fort Morgan because the beaches are less crowded. It was a short walk to the beach. The house was a great size for our family, but a little out dated.

The location was perfect. Even though it’s beside a public access it was quieter than expected and less people. The condo itself could be updated some but overall it’s a nice house.

Great Beach Location

We enjoyed our stay at Dune Refuge! Great location. Enjoyed being right next to Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. Great trails, wonderful bird watching. The house could definitely use some updates. Really enjoyed the covered deck. Even tho the description doesn't say where the bedrooms are located it worked out well having the Master on the main level. Very clean!! Would come back again.

Peace and quiet!

This house is everything it says and then some. It is a short walk to the beach that is mostly paved or wood. This part of the beach is quiet and so peaceful! The house was the perfect size for our family of 6. Kitchen had all the amenities. We will definitely rent it again!

Very secluded and well appointed

The only con was we could not see the sunset from the house. There is a huge overgrown bush in the way. The sofa needs to be replaced. Everything else was a plus. The kitchen was very well appointed and everything in the house functioned as it should. The beach was fantastic.

The Dunes

The house was beautiful. We loved the set up with the 2 sets of stairs and wrap around porch. It was just beautiful. The beach was not crowded at all. We went with 4 adults, 6 children ages 15-5, and 2 dogs! We had a BLAST! REALLY wish that the walkway from the house to the beach was fixed. I had read about this in the reviews prior to leaving on our trip, and the construction guys were still there, and they DO start early. You can hear the beeping of the equipment when they back them up. Woke us up multiple days. It is quite a "hike" to the beach having to use the detour since the walkway is out. Also, I was really disappointed about the huge bush/tree/shrubbery that was directly off the back porch completely obstructing the view of the ocean. Overall, the property was great. We did contact Maintenace on the very last day because there was moisture accumulating on the ceiling of the downstairs master bedroom. Turns out the July humidity was making the AC pipes sweat. Overall experience was great. Would stay again. Prickett Properties was also amazing and helped with payment issues and anything else we needed! Great folks! Thanks, from Oklahoma!

Review

If you're looking for a house close to the beach but not on the beach, good access but not private access, and have no dogs or no intention of taking dogs to the beach, its a great property. Problem is that the house is in wildlife management land. House says dog friendly but as soon as you get there, there are signs everywhere that say no dogs on beach and you cant be on the beach at night as you would disturb the sea turtles. We called and check with the property manager as soon as we saw and they said it was allowed....but we were stopped the first 2 days by people patrolling the beach which said it absolutely isn't. Not the best place for kids either as it appears the public access is very busy with tons of fisherman, plus when you cant go down at night and looks for crabs. All in all, if dogs or kids, would not recommend

Location is amazing....house.....not so much

If you are looking for peaceful dune living, this is your place! Can't beat the location. But upon arrival we weren't the only occupants (roaches!). The house was NOT clean. Cobwebs, dirty windows, every kitchen surface and table were dirty. There was NO soap in the house. We went and purchased many cleaning supplies and cleaned it ourselves. Also, this is a beach house (VERY BASIC) and we rented it in December. There were NO blankets and the house was freezing. Only light sheets. We had to go and buy warm blankets for all the beds. This is something management needs to fix for renters in winter. The house needs an update. The rug in the kitchen was threadbare. The shag rug in the living room was dirty. The carpet on the stairs (yes carpet) was matted and worn. My mother in law found burrs matted into her bedroom carpet upstairs. The house definitely needs a total makeover. Bring EVERYTHING. There wasn't even a laundry basket to use for laundry. Only 1 roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. No paper towels. All in all, the location is amazing, but the house itself is subpar.

Good time-but need improvements!

Pros: We had a terrific time at this home. Master Bedroom had a King Size bed as advertised. Bedroom #2 & #3 had cute little nooks below the windows. Plenty of room to move and lots of storage. Nice location, short walk to the beach. There were 2 extra blankets in the master closet. Very thankful for those as I was cold! Lots of storage in the kitchen. Refrigerator/freezer worked well. Wonderful communication with Daniel Prickett Property team. They were very nice, responsive and professional. Cons: Bedroom #2 did NOT have a Queen sized bed. It was a Full at best, which was a little cramped for my Daughter and her 6’4 husband. The carpet going up the stairs and in the bedrooms was atrocious and embarrassing. The kitchen table was extremely wobbly (my husband tightened the screws and that seemed to fix it.) The fabric on the dining chairs was very worn and stained. Having raised 5 kids i understand fabric on chairs get stained; however for a vrbo I would recommend NOT having fabric on the chairs if they are not going to be cleaned. The kitchen had a Navajo-type rug on the floor, which it seems the purpose of the rug was to cover the broken tile underneath. Was not pleasant to walk in the little area as with each step we heard the pieces of tile crunching…gross. The sofa in the living room was uncomfortable to sit on, and certainly not comfortable for sleeping. appeared to be old, worn and very used. Fridge & Stove were pretty rough.
