Highlights

There really is nothing like beachfront! No packing up the car and searching for a parking space and the convenience of being able to return to the house to replenish supplies or just take a break from the sun just cannot be beat. And of course, access to a pool is also a must. Turtle Dunes is exactly what you are looking for! And you'll love the private beach and the lighter crowds in the exclusive, gated community of the Dunes. And, if that wasn't enough, the adults in the group will appreciate that 4 of the bedrooms are equipped with King sized beds. And did we mention the home also has an elevator*?

Lovingly updated and restored, this home is a showstopper! Simply put, it just doesn't get any better than this. The spectacular views are reason enough to stay here but the interior of the home has been given a total face lift. Because every day isn't a beach day, you'll love the access to a community pools and hot tub.

The Space

Ample seating on the spacious deck allows everyone to take in those spectacular sunsets or just sit and watch and listen to the sound of the waves. An oversized dining table is perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the awesome view so even if you dine indoors, you'll still be "on the beach". This beach front home has five bedrooms and five and half baths. Each bedroom has its own private bath. The open common area features a living room with hide a bed, a dining table that seats 14, with room for 4 more at the breakfast bar and a well-equipped kitchen. You will be able to prepare whatever feast strikes your fancy without leaving the beach.

Two of the five bedrooms are on the main level, and both have King beds. Upstairs, are 2 bedrooms with King beds and balcony access, a second sitting area with a futon and balcony access and a bunk room with one set of Full over Full bunks and one set of Twin over Twin bunks. In all, Turtle Dunes will comfortably accommodate up to 18 guests.

New additions include electric fireplaces in the master bedroom and living room!

2nd Floor: (king) w/ private bath & balcony access -- (king) w/ private bath & balcony access -- Sitting area with (double) Futon -- (full/ full) (twin/twin) bunk room w/ private bath.

The Dunes and Fort Morgan

Located a scenic 20 miles from Gulf Shores, you'll find everything you need close at hand. Dollar General and Sassy Bass Market are just a few miles away and have all the basics you might need. There are several restaurants nearby offering a variety of tasty dishes. Tacky Jack's, Sassy Bass (2 locations), Coast and brand-new Jesse's (opening soon) to name a few. Some venues even offer live, local entertainment.

Fort Morgan fishing pier is now open, and anglers will have access to convenient inshore fishing and the abundant species locally available.

Be sure and visit nearby Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge with over 7,000 acres of coastal habit. You'll be able to hike through the preserve and observe local flora and fauna. There are 4 trails, varying in size and terrain, and you'll definitely want to make time to visit this natural.

The home was nicely decorated and very clean. Everyone had plenty of space for privacy and for gathering. The decks were nice, but we had to do maintenance on many of the deck screws protruding. We had several mishaps with people tripping on them. Although the description boasts of an elevator, it was deadbolted and not available for our use. Thankfully, we had plenty of hands to help with bags. Overall, this is a nice home for a small crowd.

Manager's Response

Thanks for the feedback, Cynthia! We are a bit perplexed about the elevator - it should have been available for your use. We wish you had reached out to the property manager or guest services and we could have helped resolve. We are very happy to hear you enjoyed the home!

The rental was very spacious with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean. The view from the third floor was great. The elevator was a lifesaver for me. I could not have done the trip without it! Would have been nice to have grab bars in main shower. The kitchen needed a deep cleaning. The stove and dishwasher need to be replaced. One couch was broken and I could not sit on it because it made my back hurt! The property manager was very professional and attentive. She handled any issues I had very promptly and friendly. We enjoyed having access to the swimming pool in the evenings. This was a “Girls Trip” which included me, 3 daughters and 4 granddaughters and overall we had a really good time. The area was quite, peaceful, and relaxing ( which is just what we were looking for). Thanks for sharing Turtle Dunes with us!

Manager's Response

Hi Linda! Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent stay at Turtle Dunes and we appreciate the positive review. Yes, the sofa was broken during a previous stay and a replacement was ordered, but unfortunately, it didn't arrive in time for your stay. Hopefully, one of the other sofa's worked for you! Ditto for the stove - a new one was delivered on 8/24. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the space and the location and would love to welcome you back again for a future stay. As yes, that elevator is so handy!

The house was lovely, lots of space and room for our family and extended family. The elevator was what we needed for my father, who has mobility issues. There were some features that did not work properly: one of the stove eyes did not work and the wifi was awful! But, the property was fine and the location was perfect!

Manager's Response

Hi Caroline and thanks for the feedback. We will have someone check out the stove, thank you for letting us know. As you discovered, internet service is our coastal community is not the most reliable. Upgraded fiber service is slowly being added to some communities so hopefully that will change in the near future. We are happy to hear that Turtle Dunes was a good fit for your extended family and we would be delighted to welcome you back for a future stay.

My husbands entire family spent 5 nights during Thanksgiving at the Turtle Dunes. His 80th birthday was was the day after Thanksgiving. Everyone had a wonderful time and we’re pleased that we came to Fort Morgan to celebrate. The view and beach were incredible. Most everything was great. My husband is ina motorized wheelchair. It was very tight getting him in the elevator, but we were able to manage it. There are two areas that we felt could be easily improved: 1) add some grab bars in the shower in the master bath, and near the commode; and 2) update the kitchen amenities, such as add some measuring cups and spoons and other utensils, and update the cookware. We did a lot of cooking this trip and it would be nice to have had these things. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and loved the area!

Manager's Response

Frances, we appreciate the feedback and will look into the grab bars. We'll also double check the kitchen inventory and replace any missing items. We are happy to hear that everyone had a wonderful time celebrating Granddaddy's 80th! Happy Birthday from Coastal View Vacations.

Awesome, Fabulous, Exceptional - these are some of the words used by our group of 9 ladies who thoroughly enjoyed this house, its layout, its view, and its cleanliness and handy kitchenware. We were also impressed with the personal service from Allison who helped with the WiFi and disposal issue. We have vacationed for 40 years and this may have been our best! Thank you so much!

Wow! We so appreciate the kind words and we think Allison is pretty special, too. We hope to see you for a return visit!

We had a wonderful experience staying at Turtle Dunes. The property was clean and well maintained. Directions for using electronics and elevator were very clear and kitchen was well stocked with cookware. The Wifi password was the only hitch, but Thomas was very quick to pass along a working one. The only downside was no recycle, though I realize that may not be available in your area:(

Manager's Response

Tricia, we are happy to hear that you had a great experience at Turtle Dunes! It is a guest favorite for good reason. You are correct, there is no recycling pick up available in Fort Morgan yet but we hope that changes in the near future. We'd love to see you again soon!
