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.

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 countertops give this house a clean, luxurious feel.

Absolutely Breathtaking!

We LOVED our stay at Dune Refuge and cannot wait to be back again! The view was stunning and the walk to the beach was perfect with a very nice boardwalk. The house itself is gorgeous with lots of space and very clean! The location is great, away from all the hustle and bustle but still close to some great restaurants. We cannot recommend Dune Refuge and Prickett Properties enough, our trip was perfection!

The kitchen set up was fine. I have wanted to stay at this place for years and have walked the beach and boardwalk many times. It’s a bit isolated, no close neighbors and my entire family thought it was awesome!

Perfect Beach & Nature vacation

It was our ninth year traveling to Dune Refuge and didn't disappoint! You can walk right outside of the house to the board walk to get to the beach for all day fun. Gorgeous sunrises and sunsets can be seen from the wrap around deck of the house. Perfect location to take long walks on the beach, and to the east trails through the bird sanctuary to the lagoons and lake.

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.

Prickett Properties is a pleasure to work with. They are always available to answer any questions and the office staff is friendly and helpful. This year we needed assistance to help carry in our belongs due to health issues and they were able to provide that service. Leroy from maintenance is always attentive and helpful. We enjoy our time at Dune Refuge which is comfortable and has everything we need in a home. We are looking forward to returning next year!! The only problem that we had was the vacuum needed repair or replacing (the roller bush would not rotate). Loved the new stove. Owner may consider replacing the dishwasher as the racks are rusting out.

This property is gorgeous. We enjoyed it so much, we stayed an extra day! The view to the ocean is obstructeded by a large bush which does takeaway some of the view, but not all of it. It didn't ruin our stay by any means. That is our only complaint. The boardwalk to the beach is brand new and very nice. Sure helps when you have multiple carts. We will definitely go back again when in the area. Cannot say enough about the customer service, that is a huge plus. Jason, Kim, Lorri and Jim
