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.

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

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.

No issues with the house itself and we overall enjoyed our stay. Prickett Properties was responsive and accommodating, we would rent through them again! As far as the surrounding area of this property, I do want to point out that the beach access beside the house is public and frequently used! The public access/walkway also runs beside the master bedroom, so you can hear noise from people just talking who are walking by (especially local fishermen who arrive before 6AM - so keep that in mind). Additionally, the trash cans for the community and beach are all right outside this house across the street and created a smell. We also encountered a storm during our stay and a lot of trash was then blown by the wind onto the property from the trash cans being left open by others.

The location was wonderful; very short walk to beach. Weekends and holidays there are many people who access the beach at this location but it is still not crowded; weekdays are very quiet and usually only a few people. The house is nice.Unfortunately, the house had many unresolved issues, such as damage to walls, back door and doorknob needs replacing or repair, incomplete wiring repairs in kitchen area; extremely slow draining bathtubs; rusty dishwasher with sprung door and detergent compartment door not releasing detergent in cycle. The cleanliness was severely lacking. I had to clean the kitchen sink and upstairs bathtub. The walls and baseboards are dusty and dirty. The house was not in a condition that warranted the price we paid.Management has been made aware of these issues and I believe intends to address them.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Great Place!

The house was awesome and clean. We had everything we needed. It was nice and quiet. The only minor complaint I have has nothing to do with the house. The wooden walkway that led to the beach was closed for repairs. Kinda looked like it has been that way for awhile. We had to take to trail to the beach that was harder for my wife to walk in. The property was great all in all just a further walk to the beach than expected.

Issues

The toilet in the master bathroom was not working when we arrived. We called maintenance and it was repaired promptly. In the bedroom upstairs with the bunkbeds, there are no working lamps. The one lamp there, only had a cord-no plug on the end. Also the ceiling lamp in the room is missing a blade, it made a horrible rattling noise and looked precarious, so we were not able to use it. Not enough towels, we requested more but were not ever brought any.

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!
