The spring/summer Season. . . .
Ah, #203 the Dunes at Fort Morgan, Alabama.
Warm gulf waters, sun drying on sugar white beaches, soft-spoken conversation without agenda, long walks, ankles deep in turquoise tranquility, surf, sun, crystalline water, the natural seductions of life.
Atop a dune at the doorstep of Fort Morgan, you will find that our end of the beach is the most quiet and secluded. More than a mile of pristine, unpopulated beach awaits you. For our guests with a feeling for history, the adventure of a massive civil war fort is there to be explored. Ah, the spring bird migration, the first landfall perch for the tropical flock as they wing their way north. It is spectacular and it happens right at your doorstep in the wooded area surrounding the fort.
Biking! Yes ,Yes and yes! The biker's park their bikes out of the weather in the ground floor stair wells. The area is flat and the road is white lined paved on the shoulder. You can ride for 20 miles in to Gulf Shores or you can ride your bikes to the ferryboat to Dolphin Island and ride around the Island.
Quiet late nights, quiet early mornings on the balcony with a tropical drink, a cup of coffee, a light meal or full banquet, all assembled from the fully equipped kitchen that is provided for your secluded comfort.
Na! You don’t have to cook, there are fine restaurants within minutes or call and have a pizza delivered. We're secluded not primitive! This unit sits ajar the outside/inside pool of our “Palm Tree Paradise”!!! The unit is highlighted with bright tropical colors and the running theme of palm trees throughout. It is truly a place to get away from every day life and immerse yourself into a tropical setting. It features a comfortable queen size bed in the master bedroom, two full baths and bunk beds for the little ones to have adventures. A sleeper sofa awaits for anyone extra you may want to bring. The soft yellow of the condo provides you with a warm sunny feeling, even while you are indoors.

We had a wonderful time staying The Dunes. The condo was very clean and close to the pool and a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed Ft. Morgan very much and found lots of things to do with our 3 small children. The weather was great and the beach just beautiful. We hope to stay again at the condo and would highly recommend this condo! Thanks Robert and Dorothy (so pleasant and want your stay to be relaxing & comfortable)!!

We had a great time staying at the Palms Condo in Fort Morgan. The condo is well maintained and very clean. The pictures online didn't do the condo justice. It is decorated really nice. At first we were hesitant about staying that far out. We are so glad we did. The beach at the Dunes is great and not crowded at all. The condo had everything we needed from pots and pans to washer and dryer. The only thing we needed was food. The beach is just a short walk from the condo. Robert and Dorothy were amazing when we had questions. There is a nice indoor and outdoor pool, workout room, and sauna on the property. We ate at some nice restaurants that included King Neptunes, Desoto's, Lulu's at the Marina, our favorite Lambert's home of the throwed rolls. King Neptunes had a great fried cheesecake. We didn't do alot of anything but lay on the beach and eat! We were supposed to stay 4 days and extended it to 6. Thanks Robert & Dorothy we will be back!!!

GET AWAY FROM IT ALL...
Guest: Will R.
Date of Stay: 08/27/11
Review Submitted: 09/20/11
The condo was extremely clean and we felt as if we were home regarding all of the amenities provided. Robert and Dorothy were like second parents to us in the sense that we had everything we needed and they meticulously had things ready for our stay. The Jelly Fish - info was very informative, the pamphlets of area attractions and menus of area restaurants were extremely helpful to us in planing out our day. They were on call if we needed anything, which we really didn't. The guards and locals were super friendly and made us feel as if we were a part of the family. On a side note: I totally would never recommend Tacky Jacks to anyone and feel that I should add this. They have nothing to do with Robert or Dorothy but just a heads up to future renters. There is a Mexican restaurant called Tequila's that was wonderful with great service as well as a nice grill up the road about five minutes if you plan on eating out. There is a 20 mile drive to town but if you are looking for a place to GET AWAY FROM IT ALL...this is the place to go. Just take everything you need before you get there. Thanks Robert and Dorothy, you really were great to work with and very understanding.

My granddaughter and I spent 7 days & nights in this condo, and found everything to be as described. The balcony over the pool was perfect for that early cup of coffee, the condo is completely outfitted as described, & I can't think of anything we needed. As a matter of fact, we brought a lot of things that we'll leave at home next time. The beach area was not crowded (mid-June), and tended to be very family friendly. Everyone we interacted with was friendly. There are several restaurants/stores on the end of the island, and Gulf Shores is just a pleasant drive away. I should tell you, there's a place on the "strip" at Gulf Shores called Scoops.....yummy, yummy ice cream! We checked several times just to make sure it was consistent :) Even had some made with Splenda! My only caution to someone who hasn't been before (we hadn't): If you use Mapquest or a GPS and give the address in Ft. Morgan, it will route you across the ferry from Dauphin Island.......The last crossing is 6:30 pm, and we arrived a little before 5:00 pm. We were the LAST vehicle in line for the LAST crossing at 6:30! I would suggest giving Gulf Shores as the destination if there's any chance you might arrive after 4:00 pm. That will take you through Mobile. If you cross the ferry, the condo is just seconds away, however. Go, enjoy, and come home feeling refreshed and ready to hit the real world again!

Much Needed Family Vacation

Review Submitted: 05/11/11
My family very badly needed a quiet family vacation from the big city. My husband and 2 boys ages 3yrs and 1 yr decided last minute to rent a condo by the beach. Robert and Dorothy were very accomodating with our last minute plans and a few other minor requests. This was our first time renting a condo and it was a wonderful experience for us. The condo was spotless with very new/well kept interior. Tho condo provided everything we needed, we just brought food. The beach was a short walk away and my son especially loved the pool area. We definitly recommend the condo and was a pleasure working with the owners.

So enjoyed our 3 nights over the Easter Holiday for our anniversary! Robert and Dorothy were so efficicient and gracious with our last minute plans.The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. The decor truly enhanced the tropical beach atmosphere we were going for. We had plenty of room and can't wait to bring our teenage son and his friend. We only ventured out 1 afternoon and enjoyed the shopping at the Tanger Outlet Mall. Especially enjoyed the morning walks to the beach. We really needed the quiet time away from the crowds. Thanks again for the great time, we will see you again soon!!

Spring 2011 Getaway - April 2 - 9 Just Me and My Wonderful Wife

We have stayed at numerous condos over the years. This condo is one of the best maintained units that we have ever seen. The decor is beautiful--even to the smallest of details. My compliments to the decorator! There was nothing that we needed that was not provided. We really like that this area was secluded, yet not isolated. There were families on the beach, but it was not overly crowded. If you want to eat meals in the condo, we would suggest stopping in Gulf Shores to buy your groceries on the way in as it is about 20 miles away. I would highly recommend this condo for anyone.

Our Spring Break holiday at the Dunes...April 10, 2011

Review Submitted: 04/16/11
My husband and I always enjoy our stays in Ft. Morgan. We are "young" 60 year olds and the quiet, peaceful setting at the Dunes or the Indies suit our lifestyle adequately. Gulf Shores is only a short distance if we decide we need a little more action! :) The Dunes condo was everything we expected. It was as cheery and as colorful as the pictures that were posted on vbro.com. It was very very clean and everything we needed was supplied except for our own personal items. My transaction with Johnny was pleasant and prompt and could not have been handled any smoother than what it was. Even though I have not met him personally, I came away thinking he is quite a southern gentleman. We felt more like a guest in his and Dorothy's home rather than a business deal. Our 40 year old daughter and family were guest at the Indies at the same time we were at the Dunes. She suffered a stroke during her stay and had to be flown by helicopter to Providence Hospital in Mobile. When I told Johnny about what had happen, he was just as concerned as if he knew us on a more personal level. In times of trouble, it's a comfort to share a common friendship. Upon talking with both of our daughters, I believe they have rented from Johnny also. We have been going to Ft. Morgan several years, so it's possible that they have. They expressed the same friendliness and prompt service as I have. Thank you Johnny for your hospitality and your geniune concern for our daughter. The next trip that we plan to Ft. Morgan, I will remember.

For the Renter Beware...if you had no expectations and did not require much then how on earth did you not enjoy the condo? We have rented and inquired about properties numerous times and have had no problems with Robert or Dorothy. The beach..away from the crowds...and the fully stocked kitchen. That is all we required and we have teenagers!
