Why we chose The Dunes:
We love the peaceful surroundings and less crowded beach as well as the sweeping ocean and beach views from our 2 balconies. It is a treat to watch ships sail from the Port of Mobile.
Our young grandchildren especially love the freedom of movement on this less crowded beach and surrounding area and cherish the short walks along the beach to the uninhabited Fort Morgan property to collect those precious seashells.
This is not just a rental property. It is special to us and our second home. We have furnished, equipped and decorated it for that purpose and choose to share it with guests who are committed to caring for it during their stay.
We stayed at Dunes Beach Retreat the month of February, 2023. The condo is nicely furnished with a well stocked kitchen and all the extras were great. Wonderful views. We did have some construction going on during our stay but Diane told us about it ahead of time. Diane communicates very well and quickly answered any questions that we had. We very much appreciated that Diane and Tom gave us their opportunity to stay in their condo.

I am so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and were very patient with the repairs being done to our building during your visit. I believe in making sure my guests have all the information they need prior to arrival; so as soon as I knew these repairs were going to be done while you were there, I wanted you to know. We enjoyed having you as our guests and hope you will stay with us again in the future!
We enjoyed our stay so much. We love Fort Morgan for the ocean view, the fishing and the beach. The condo was amazing- nicely furnished, a well supplied kitchen and the extras provided by Dianne were such a nice touch! We would love to stay again!
Stayed July, 2022
It was a pleasure to host you and your family in our home and happy you found everything to your satisfaction! We look forward to your return visit!
We just finished a week at the Dunes. We booked the 2nd visit because we liked the first one so much. We went to the beach, the pool and the hot tub every day. Our grandson had a blast at the Dunes. We rode the ferry, visited the shops in Gulf Shores ate at Lulu's and Mo's BBQ. Both Gluten Free places - good food great service. The condo has all the utensils,pots,pans and tableware you need. Appliances top notch. Washer\dryer good to have, beds were comfy and I want that cabinet in the entry way when they redecorate. Beach themed decor and a great view of the beach and the bay. We watched many ships come and go in Mobile Bay from the two balconies. Sunsets were beautiful from beach and the those balconies. We would visit again without hesitation. Thanks for sharing your beach home with us again.

Thanks so much for choosing to again stay at our Dunes Beach Retreat! I appreciate your comments concerning our beachy decor and furnishings! It is always our goal to make sure our guests have a great experience in our home! Please return soon!
Our first snobird getaway from Jan thru Feb 2022 has been absolutely fantastic.
It is the nicest beach home we have stayed in gulf shores region last 20 years.
This is truly a 'Dune Resort' which has every accommodation you will need for one week or three months to enjoy this beautiful beach home. It is so clean and comfortable
We had a great location to watch the dolphins from balcony or relax on the beach.
It was a 'WOW' experience.
Thank You

I am so pleased our Dunes Beach Retreat exceeded your expectations! That is always our goal! We were fortunate to have you as our guests for your first snobird experience and look forward to you returning in the future!
Our family of 5 very much enjoyed our stay! The unit was just as described and Dianne was a WONDERFUL host. The view from the balcony was breathtaking. The beach was secluded and the whole condo building was never crowded. We met very nice neighbors who live there and the beach attendant Phillip was extremely friendly and very helpful. Ms. Dianne, thank you so much for having us! We loved your unit and hope to be back. The Weintraub Family: Alex, Brian, Eric, Gary, and Meredith.

Our goal is always to deliver a relaxing 5-star experience for our guests during their stay by providing a clean home, well-equipped kitchen, up-to-date baths, and well-appointed comfortable furniture!

We loved this condo! Very clean and spacious. The kitchen is well stocked. The owner provided many things that most places do not. Great views and location. Hope to stay again.

Thanks so much for choosing to stay with us! We provide extra supplies and special items to help make our guests feel at home and presenting clean accommodations is very important to us! We look forward to your return visit!
This condo was equipped with everything you would ever need. Beautifully decorated and a beautiful view. It is truly a "BEACH" vacation even though you could be in Gulf Shores within 20 minutes. Tacky Jacks was our go to for supper and a pizza from Sassy Bass. The ride to Dauphin Island on the ferry is about a mile away. Dianne is an amazing host and is there for you if needed. We will definitely be back.
Stayed May, 2021
I am so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay, not only in my condo but in the area as well. We try to provide our guests a well-equipped comfortable home along with peaceful surroundings. We would welcome your return visit any time!
My family stayed here for spring break this year , and we were completely happy with this amazing condo. From the minute we got there we were 100 % happy and content with our choice . The area was amazing, the view was fantastic, and there wasn't one single thing we needed that wasn't available . The layout of the condo was great, the kitchen was perfect. We will definitely be back to enjoy this peaceful part of the beach .

This is a lovely condo! Everything is so clean & nice. The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen I have ever seen. That is especially helpful for me since I have to cook everything I eat due to my food sensitivities. The beds are comfortable. The furniture is placed in a way that really makes the unit feel extra large & roomy.
The amount of supplies is incredible. We’ve rented vacation homes throughout the country & have never seen this much generosity with supplies. The location of the condo is terrific. The views are stunning. It is a wonderful place to walk as well. Quiet & peaceful despite the fact that construction is ongoing. We like that you also have some pictures of your family in the condo. It’s nice to see the owners ???? — really says “this is a home”.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We would love to return in the future.
Stayed March, 2021
I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay! As stated in our information, this is a second home, not just a rental property; and we love having guests who appreciate that! We look forward to your return!
This is our second visit to this wonderful condo with our family, and we simply love it! Our party includes my husband and I, my 20 something son, and my thirtysomething daughter, her husband, and their young son. We all enjoy the more quiet section of beach here at Fort Morgan! You can literally walk in one direction, and never see a single soul. We enjoy the local restaurants on Fort Morgan, and only drove back into Gulf Shores twice during our week’s stay. And this condo is simply amazing! We’ve never stayed in a nicer unit than this! Everything in the unit is top notch, clean, well organized, and well-equipped. It is spacious, and has plenty of room for adults and children as well. The views from the unit are amazing! One evening, we literally watched a carnival cruise ship in Mobile Bay make its way out into the ocean! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful unit with our families!
Stayed September, 2019
Thank you so very much for being such wonderful guests! We work very hard to make our vacation home a place where people can feel at home and comfortable while offering a clean upscale environment. However, it takes guests such as yourselves who are looking for this type of accommodation to make it all worthwhile! We hope to have you return in the near future!
